Coming Soon…

W Network has yet to release a schedule for this year’s Christmas in July but promos reveal it will begin Friday, July 5th here in Canada, and not at the end of June like in the US. Starting on the evening of July 5th, viewers can expect to see back-to-back holiday movies every weekend and according to the promo, seven “all new premieres” will be featured! Only three brand new movies are set to premiere in the US (between Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies Now) so it will be interesting to see what other movies complete W’s lineup this year. Here’s what’s known so far:

According to listings, the first two premieres are:
