With a new year comes brand-new movies from the Hallmark Channel, starting with five originals during “Winter Escape” in January and four more for “Loveuary” in February. What can we look forward to on America’s coziest channel and streamer?

For Winter Escape, Hallmark takes viewers on vacation around the globe — a deserted island in Fiji, Australia, Italy, Malta, the Amazon and beyond. For Loveuary, get ready for romance everywhere from a New York City subway (it can happen!) to a dude ranch in New Mexico. There are missed connections, love potions and plenty more sweet vibes to make you forget about that box of candy on the counter (for a moment, anyway).
