This time last year all I wanted to know was, How can I get the Hallmark Channel in the UK? You see, I’m a huge fan of Hallmark TV and movies. Christmas movies, Fall movies, holiday movies and even TV shows like Where Calls the Heart. But the Hallmark Channel doesn’t broadcast in the UK, which makes it hard to get a fix. Until now. So if you want to know how to get Hallmark Channel TV and movies in the UK, read on!
If you’re in the UK and have access to Amazon, then the exciting news is that you can watch all your Hallmark faves right here in Britain on Amazon Prime for just £4.99 a month. It’s perfect if you’re (like me) a massive fan of Hallmark Christmas movies!
WATCH HALLMARK CHANNEL IN THE UK FOR FREE
While the Hallmark Channel does cost £4.99 to UK customers, there is a way to get it (temporarily) for free!
I can’t wait to be cosied up in a Christmas sweater, drinking hot chocolate and enjoying movies. Or maybe you watch to catch up on the last season of Where Calls the Heart?
I had a few questions from people on my annual guide to Hallmark Christmas Movies in the UK post asking how to get the main channel in the UK, so here’s my little step by step guide. It’s really simple, and with my special affiliate links, you can get FREE access to UK Hallmark content for up to 7 days with each Amazon account your family has. That’s going to be perfect, if you need a cheese-fest Christmas movie fix!
By the way, if you’re looking for recommendations of movies to watch and you’re a fan of a good ole’ cheese-fest, then don’t miss these guides:

HOW TO GET THE HALLMARK CHANNEL IN THE UK
Step 1: Get yourself onto Amazon Prime or Sky TV
To get your Hallmark movie fix in the UK, you’ll need a subscription to Amazon Prime. This costs £79 per annum and includes unlimited next-day delivery on thousands of Amazon products PLUS access to Amazon Music and Amazon Video. If you don’t already have an account no problem – you can take a free 30-day trial using this link.
Don’t forget that if you have Amazon Prime, you can also watch Hallmark TV on Sky in the UK, using the native Prime app that’s available to Sky TV customers. Just scroll down to the “apps” section on your Sky TV guide, and log into your Prime account as usual.
Step 2: Add a free trial of the Hallmark Channel UK
You’ve already got an Amazon Prime account? Great. Now you’re ready to add the Hallmark TV channel UK to your package. Hallmark TV is a premium channel so will cost £4.99 per month, but you can cancel very easily any time. You can also take a 7-day free trial before you need to pay. In my experience, I can spend £5 renting a single movie so getting access to dozens of Hallmark movies for under £5 feels like great value to me. Here’s where to get your 7-day free trial.
If you’re watching on Sky TV be sure to download and save your favourite movies through the year, because they aren’t always available for a long time (just for a good time, lol).
And you’re all set!

£4.49 should be the price. They are investigating issues with the channel where not all 100+ titles appear although they can be found on search and play correctly.
Can I get where calls the heart series 7 and 8 on Hallmark channel or Amazon prime
I believe Season 8 is just airing so isn’t yet available on streaming services except for the full US Hallmark Channel. You can watch S1-6 on UK Netflix, and S7 on US Netflix, though.
Sally,
We have just signed up for Hallmark via Amazon Prime. Currently on the 7 day trial. It seems as if we can only see Hallmark movies and not TV shows. In particular we were after When Calls The Heart Series 7. Is Hallmark via Amazon restricted to Hallmark movies?
Hi Dave
Hallmark TV UK doesn’t show all the content from the Hallmark Channel (US) and I understand that When Calls the Heart is one of the shows that Hallmark pulled from streaming platforms last month, including Netflix.
To watch When Calls the Heart at the moment you’d need to have an account with either US Amazon.com (and Prime) or Hallmark’s own streaming service, Hallmark Movies Now. And of course access to those platforms is *technically* limited to US residents. Both of those platforms have Season 7 available to stream.
Alternatively if your DVD player supports it, you can buy the Season 7 boxset through Amazon UK.
tthe Good Witch. Am i able to see all 8 seasons an all the films for this amazing programme?
NB. my e mail address should all be lower case
Hi sheila, to the best of my knowledge, The Good Witch doesn’t screen on Hallmark Channel UK, you would need to watch the US channel via VPN, or it’s available in the UK on DVD.
I think there are 5 seasons on netflix at the moment
They are disappearing from the UK this month, though I read.
I have subscribed to the hallmark channel via amazon prime, so that I could watch the when calls the heart serie. Unfortunetlely it is not showing season 10 ? would you know why this is ?
It normally runs one season behind, it won’t be immediately available in the UK, I think it shows via Netflix.
Hi, are you able to watch all the new Christmas movies that the US has on this channel in the UK?
Not quite – the UK is generally one year behind, so we see the new movies from 2022 this year and we’ll see the 2023 ones next year – so there are always new films, just not the same as in the US. If you’re super keen to see 2023 movies, the only way to do that would be to get a US iTunes account and use a VPN to subscribe to Hallmark in the US or potentially Peacock in the US, I believe.
Helo! Don’t have a guide for 2024 please?
Coming soon!
I’m in the UK and pay for Hallmark on prime, the only thing I have found is that it’s the same movies on there and nothing new. So going to cancel it.
I think it updates a lot around Christmas but the way around it is to use the free trial!
Sorry Hallmark Channel, I’ve had this via prime for years. Unfortunately. I am unable to watch the follow up episodes of Murder she baked ie Hannah Swensen Mysteries & many more. The channel constantly plays. The same old. Same old Hallmark films!!! I’ve seen them all numerous times & thinking, depending on your reply, of unsubcribing. Look forward to hearing from you. Xxx
Hallmark Channel is available only via Prime in the UK, and it’s a curated selection of shows meaning not everything is available, and it is often not available until some time after it airs in the US. If you want to access the US Hallmark Channel that would require a VPN and a US credit card.
