Obviously, there are a lot more TBAs than they have listed here, but it's pretty decent list of what we know so far.
The volume, even leaving out BET's 8 movies for some reason, along with more niche streaming services (though FOX Nation included), continues to astonish even me
My current movie total for broadcast and streaming debuts is 1️⃣6️⃣3️⃣ new Christmas movies for 2021, and that's without including all the VOD/DVD options and indies on Amazon Prime, nor all the specials, series, etc.
Main player still waiting on is whatever is going on with Viacom titles. MTV Films made at least 5 movies—A CLUSTERFUNKE CHRISTMAS, ADVENTURES IN CHRISTMASING, MIRACLES ACROSS 125TH STREET, LET'S GET MERRIED and A HIP HOP FAMILY CHRISTMAS—that will theoretically be on Paramount+

In case anyone wondered where Ashley Williams, and pal Nikki DeLoach, stand on diversity, this is Williams' response to bigots ridiculously calling her G-rated SISTER SWAP: CHRISTMAS IN THE CITY movie, "not family-friendly."
By the way, my goal wasn't to get attention of any of actors, just expose the hate.
It's not even clear what these folks object to in very family-friendly photos Hallmark posted. Is it that Williams co-star is of another race? Two guys ice skating? Women's ankles being exposed?
Representation matters isn't slogan. Proven time and again that diversity in entertainment changes hearts and minds, especially in insular communities—exactly why folks are terrified about loss of TV "safe space." What if they see how wrong they've been?
Also shot in Chicago, A PRIVATE EYE CHRISTMAS, starring Vivica A Fox and Michelle Borth, now known as THE CHRISTMAS THIEF, and set to air December 5th.
Someone sent me this and I'm sharing in case there was any confusion at all about crowd GAC is catering to…These are their biggest fans.
Look at photos from SISTER SWAP: CHRISTMAS IN THE CITY yourself. Nothing even CLOSE to objectionable in ANY of them: hallmarkchannel.com/sister-swap-ch…
Previously blurred names, but why give bigots courtesy they don't deserve when proudly posting in public forum? This person monetizes their blog from (at least) affiliate links, so maybe consider whether you want to support that hate with your clicks.
Nobody deserves space space where their bigotry is catered to. You don't get to close your eyes and pretend people you dislike or disapprove of don't exist. True faith would want no part of hate, and these people are a very vocal, yet very tiny, minority.
Of note, A HOLIDAY IN HARLEM is the official title for the movie that filmed as CHRISTMAS IN HARLEM and Will Adams is Olivia Washington's co-star in the Connecticut-shot movie directed by Keith Powell.
Haven't been following as closely (just burned out), so Hallmark movies haven't learned leads of are just-wrapped A VERY MERRY BRIDESMAID, plus now-filming EIGHT GIFTS OF LOVE and A GODWINK CHRISTMAS: MIRACLE OF LOVE. Also don't know Nikki DeLoach's co-star in CHRISTMAS FOR KEEPS
Still 2 movies for season unaccounted for (1 if Hallmark goes back and counts CRASHING THROUGH THE SNOW among their 41). Beginning to run out of time for additional shoots, so thinking might see some acquisitions, perhaps THE PICTURE OF CHRISTMAS and/or CHRISTMAS IN TRINKET TOWN?
Just speculation. One would think—a.k.a. it would make sense—with Countdown to Christmas starting tomorrow, Hallmark would release their final schedule today, but, yeah, who knows at this point? Someone does, obviously. Just saying, I am not that someone.
