On the heels of Hallmark Channel's unprecedented #1 rated 'Countdown to Christmas,' the network invites viewers to continue the celebration and cozy up at home with its seasonal programming event 'WINTERFEST.' The holiday cheer doesn't have to end once the season concludes, as the network will premiere three new original movies for viewers to fall in love with by the fireplace. Julie Berman, Andrew Walker, Merritt Patterson, Jessy Schram and Luke Macfarlane are just some of the stars set to warm up the cold, January nights and help you kick-off the New Year to a bright, fresh start!
Hallmark Channel will also engage viewers on social and digital platforms to celebrate Winterfest. The network will solicit viewers to "Show Us Your Snow" where fans can upload photos of their winter festivities on their social media platforms and engage with Winterfest enthusiasts. Users are encouraged to use the hashtag #ShowUsYourSnow and tag @HallmarkChannel to help create a social wall that features fans enjoying the snowfall this winter - whether it's skiing, vacationing, building snowmen or sharing majestic landscapes the beauty of Winter has to offer. Additionally, the network will also host on HallmarkChannel.com "Season Your Selfie," where viewers can select filters to add the merriment of the winter season to their personal photos. Lastly,
Hallmark CHANNEL will also offer its Winterfest Sweepstakes, featuring a grand prize pack including a home entertainment center, sofa and more to help our viewers stay cozy and warm at home while enjoying Hallmark Channel! The sweepstakes will run from January 1, 2017 - January 27, 2017.
