If you’ve been reading us for a while, you know that Christmas movies of any sort are our jam. I’m cringing writing “jam,” but it’s early, and my brain doesn’t function well before noon. It does, however, wake up a little when you mention Christmas and Hallmark in the same sentence.
That’s right. Hallmark has renewed something we’re excited about. Mistletoe Murders, anyone? Season 2 is happening, and we’re definitely not mad about it, especially since it stars Sarah Drew.
“We’re thrilled that Mistletoe Murders is returning for a second season,” continued Jocelyn Hamilton, President, Television, Lionsgate Canada. “Hallmark has been an incredible partner in bringing this series to life, and it’s been such a joy collaborating with the talented team at Headspinner Productions. This renewal is a true testament to the exceptional storytelling and talent that have made the show resonate so deeply with audiences.”
In the show, Sarah Drew plays Emily, a small-town shop owner. She’s got a secret past (cause of course). Side note – of course, it’s in a small town, because having experience in small towns everyone knows everything. She uses some pretty sharp instincts to try and solve some stuff happening in this small town. Local detective Sam Wilner is solving stuff too and his daughter works at Emily’s shop.
Now, I know that you’re reading that and you’re probably like oh, that is so basic. Basic can be fun.
Jean Yoon, Lara Amersey, and Kylee Evans also star.
“We had searched for the right series to blend Christmas with mysteries — two genres our viewers love — and Mistletoe Murders cracked that case to perfection. The enthusiastic audience reaction made the decision to renew the series an easy one,” said Samantha DiPippo, Senior Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Media. “After the jaw-dropping season finale that left fans asking, Who is Emily Lane?, we look forward to another riveting holiday in Fletcher’s Grove filled with mystery, romance and of course, Christmas.”
Shooting to bring this back to Hallmark+ for this 2025 Christmas season. Have you watched the series? Are you excited for the renewal?
