"Miracle on 34th Street", with its endearing story of a department store Santa who claims he's the real deal, is another must-watch this season. The movie, which has been a Christmas staple since its release in 1947, continues to captivate audiences with its message of faith and belief.
And who can forget the lovable misadventures of Kevin McCallister in "Home Alone"? This iconic holiday classic continues to entertain us with its timeless humor and heartwarming message about the importance of family.
So grab your hot cocoa, put on your coziest pajamas, and snuggle up on the couch. This weekend, let the magic of Christmas fill your home as you unwrap more joy with these new premieres and holiday classics.

It’s the weekend again, friends!
We are now nearing the end of Christmas in July - with only two weekends to go! This month always flies by nearly as fast as Santa on Christmas Eve!
The Hallmark Channel is halfway through the cable premiere of their four Unwrapping Christmas films; however, there are still plenty of festive holiday classics airing throughout this weekend and the rest of July on Hallmark and Great American Family! I've included the weekend Christmas Schedule below. I’ve also shared (at the end of this post) a few of the Christmas movies I’m especially excited to watch- be sure to let me know your favorites in the comments!
Also, Lifetime has its first suspenseful movie premiere this weekend that includes faith. This film appears to be a powerful and inspirational story set against intense and emotional circumstances. Please note: I have not previewed this film. It may include some adult content and mature dialogue, so viewer discretion is advised.
See details for these movies below...

Movie Reviews:
Unwrapping Christmas: Lily's Destiny is clean. â€"Maria
Unwrapping Christmas: Lily’s Destiny is another delightful installment in this charming series. This story introduces an intriguing love triangle that keeps things interesting. Lily, portrayed by Ashley Newbrough, is radiant and attractive; she finds herself torn between the town’s wealthy, most eligible bachelor and a new acquaintance who shares a meaningful connection to her past and brings a comforting sense of home. It's a fun, feel-good, family-friendly movie. ~Net

Storyline: Nichole Jolly is a nurse at the town’s hospital, who begins her day as usual, only to face an unimaginable crisis when a wildfire rapidly engulfs the town. Torn between her duty to protect her patients and her desperate need to find her husband Nick, (Colin Moss) and children, Nichole discovers an unyielding strength within herself to save not only her family but countless residents from the encroaching flames. The film is a tribute to the indomitable human spirit and the unsung heroes who emerge in the face of tragedy.
