‘Tis the season for snow days, hot chocolate, and holiday movies from Hallmark. If you don’t have access to Hallmark through cable, you don’t need to worry about missing out. Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the Hallmark Channel without cable.

Hallmark productions have become synonymous with the holiday season, and a full slate of holiday-themed made-for-TV movies are airing this month. The network’s “Countdown to Christmas” is an especially beloved tradition, which premiered the much-anticipated “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story” earlier this year. The iconic channel isn’t just for romantic movies during the holiday season. Hallmark also releases content year-round, including a few popular TV series like “When Calls the Heart,” “Chesapeake Shores,” and “Good Witch.”

Whether you’ve been watching Hallmark your entire life or there’s an upcoming movie you watch to tune in for, we’ve got you covered when it comes to live streaming the channel.

Philo

Philo is one of the cheapest ways to live stream the Hallmark Channel. At $28 a month, the streaming service carries the Hallmark Channel and 70+ other live channels, including AMC, the Paramount Network, and MTV. The app offers a seven-day free trial. Notably, Philo also includes a Hallmark+ add-on option for an additional $8 per month, which unlocks a huge on-demand catalog of past Hallmark classics and new exclusives.

Philo TV

If you want your streaming service to cost less per month than a single trip for the family to Starbucks, Philo is made with you in mind. It features over 70 channels for just $28 a month, but it is missing popular sports and local networks.

Sling TV w/ Lifestyle Extra

Sling TV is another relatively affordable live TV streaming option. Sling’s two base plans carry anywhere from 35 to 45 channels for $40 monthly each. To access the Hallmark Channel, you’ll need to opt in for the Lifestyle Extra, an add-on that costs an additional $6 per month. These add-ons unlock the Hallmark Channel and 10 other lifestyle-themed channels. In total, this will cost you $46 per month, although new users can usually get about $20 off their first month of service.

Sling TV Subscription

For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you’re looking for. It’s more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members often get a chunky discount on their first month.

Fubo

Fubo carries the Hallmark Channel and more than 185+ other live channels. The streaming service carries most of what you’d find in a standard cable lineup (local networks, ESPN, etc.), with a few exceptions. Subscriptions start at $80 per month, but new users can get up to $35 off their first month of service.

Fubo Essential

Fubo’s most essential tier features most of the same offerings as its Pro plan (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, etc.), but it lacks regional sports networks that show NBA, NHL, and MLB games. This will remove any applicable extra RSN fees from your monthly bill.

DirecTV Stream

DirecTV Stream is one of the most comprehensive month-to-month live streaming cable alternatives, offering everything you’d find through cable (including the Hallmark Channel) through its various plans. Subscriptions start at $87 per month, but new users can get a five-day free trial. The base Entertainment subscription offers 90+ channels, and each additional plan or add-on offers even more.

DirecTV Stream

Previously known as AT&T TV, DirecTV Stream offers streaming access to a large selection of live channels, including most key networks typically found in traditional cable packages.
