Hallmark Movies And Wine Pairing

‘Tis the season for Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas. The Hallmark channel’s holiday programming is a staple for so many. In fact, over the last several years it has gotten so popular that Hallmark saw that their fans are not only enjoying the movies with popcorn but also with wine. So they developed their own line of Hallmark wines.

Being a wine fan that I am. I thought it would be fun to sit down take a look at the 2022 Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas and pair it with a wine that would good well with the movie. You can download the All-New Holiday Movie List Here!
