Hallmark+, Home to the Largest Streaming
Catalogue of Original Hallmark Christmas Movies, Features a
Distinctive Blend of All New, Exclusive Hallmark Original Series,
Movies and Other Feel-Good Content
FuboTV Inc. (d/b/a/ Fubo) (NYSE: FUBO), the leading sports-first
live TV streaming platform, announced today the launch of Hallmark+
as a standalone premium subscription service or add-on for Fubo
customers. The launch expands the companies’ existing long-standing
distribution agreement for Hallmark’s linear channels on Fubo.
Fubo customers can now subscribe to Hallmark+ as a standalone
service - without a base Fubo channel plan - or as an add-on to an
existing subscription. Hallmark+ joins recent standalone live
linear and SVOD content launches on Fubo that give more flexibility
to consumers, offering them the choice to subscribe to only the
content they want to watch.
Hallmark+ is home to the largest streaming catalogue of original
Hallmark Christmas movies with 600+ hours of holiday content. On
Saturday, December 20, all 2024 Countdown to Christmas and Miracles
of Christmas movies on Hallmark Channel will be available to stream
on Hallmark+ just in time for the holidays.
Hallmark+ content features:
- Hallmark’s first-ever foray into holiday limited series
(Holidazed and Mistletoe Murders) and a reality competition series
(Finding Mr. Christmas), bringing its pop culture-revered seasonal
content to the streaming space like never before.
- Unscripted, aspirational series with an emphasis on heart,
home, and community featuring fan-favorite stars like Lacey Chabert
(Celebrations with Lacey Chabert), Wes Brown (Ready, Set, Glow!),
Ashley Williams (Small Town Setup), and Luke Macfarlane (Home is
Where the Heart Is).
- An all-new movie trilogy (Groomsmen) inspired by the success of
The Wedding Veil, this time spotlighting the friendship between
three leading men played by Jonathan Bennett, Tyler Hynes and B.J.
Britt.
- An all-new scripted series adaption of KJ Dell’Antonia’s New
York Times bestselling novel and a Reese’s Book Club selection (The
Chicken Sisters).
“Hallmark is a beloved brand with feel-good content that offers
something for everyone,” said Todd Mathers, senior vice president,
content strategy and acquisition, Fubo. “This is the perfect time
of year to launch Hallmark+ for Fubo customers, and they can choose
the optimal way to subscribe for them: as part of our subscription
plans alongside Hallmark’s linear content or as a standalone
package.”
