It's not even Halloween, but the Hallmark Channel is overflowing with Christmas greenery.
The Hallmark Channel, and its sister Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, will deliver 36 new holiday movies starting Saturday, Oct. 27.
Stars include LeAnn Rimes and Hallmark regulars Candace Cameron Bure, Lori Loughlin, Lacey Chabert, Danica McKellar and Tatyana Ali.
