There are 4 When Calls the Heart Christmas specials you need to watch before Season 12
When Calls the Heart Season 12arrives on January 5, but Hallmark has a Christmas-themed treat in store for fans who aren’t all caught up.
A prestige show can mean one of two things – new viewers might feel intimidated by its many seasons, but hardcore fans will love all the content they can get. Thankfully, years of When Calls the Heart are worth the payoff.
11 seasons on and we’ve got a whole heap of romance-led drama behind us. Elizabeth is now with Nathan after husband Jack dies in Season 5, and her old beauLucashas lost everything… including the woman of his dreams.
There’s a lot going on, but we’re arguably missing something festive in the interim. Don’t worry! Hallmark has you covered. Watch these four festive specials before the new year.
Hallmark has 4 Christmas movies you can watch before Season 12
Fans will be able to catchThe Greatest Christmas Blessing, Home for Christmas, The Christmas Wishing Tree, and When Calls the Heart Christmas on Hallmark Family on December 15th starting at noon ET.
As you can tell from the different posters (cough Jack is still alive cough), these specials slot in during different parts of the When Calls the Heart timeline.
Here’s the breakdown – Christmas is between Seasons 3 and 4, The Christmas Wishing Tree between Seasons 4 and 5, The Greatest Christmas Wish between Seasons 5 and 5, and Home For Christmas between Seasons 6 and 7.
This means it’s been five years since fans have had a Christmas special on screens, and it’s continued bad news for 2024. We might be getting Season 12 of thebinge-worthy TV showsoon, but there will be no new festive movie before it.
