It's almost time to start rocking around the Christmas tree because a bunch of Hallmark holiday movies are dropping way before Halloween even starts!

W Network will kick off the season incredibly early on October 22 — almost two weeks earlier than previous years and more than a week before Halloween — with 41 brand new movies and back-to-back flicks to watch every day until New Year's Day.

Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas will have premieres every Friday, Saturday and Sunday featuring everything from time travel to the bond between sisters to families finding hope after loss.

Plus, there are also movies with Canadian connections like You, Me & the Christmas Trees, The Christmas Contest and Christmas at Castle Hart.

While the full 41 movie lineup hasn't come down the chimney just yet, some titles have been revealed including Boyfriends of Christmas Past, The Santa Stakeout, Christmas in Harmony, Open by Christmas, A Christmas Treasure, The Nine Kittens of Christmas, The Christmas Promise, Small Town Christmas and Swept Up by Christmas.

If you're already in the festive spirit and want to start planning your holiday adventures for this year, there are going to be tons of Christmas markets, festive light trails and Christmas villages that you can explore across Canada.
