How to get the Hallmark Channel in the UK
You can’t beat a romantic Christmas film, and Hallmark has them in abundance. That’s right, they’re not just well-loved for their Hallmark cards at Christmas, they also do movies too. Some might say that once you’ve seen one Hallmark Christmas film, you’ve seen them all. I guess they do tend to follow the same format most of the time! But that doesn’t mean we stop watching. You just can’t beat snuggling up under a blanket with the fire crackling and a Hallmark Christmas film playing on the TV. But we haven’t always been able to access Hallmark in the UK. Thankfully, that’s all now changed, and you can now get the Hallmark Channel in the UK.

How to watch Hallmark Channel UK
In order to get access to Hallmark TV in the UK, you will first need an Amazon Prime subscription. It works out cheaper to pay the annual subscription price for Amazon Prime which is currently £95 per year. If you would rather pay monthly so you can budget for it, then the monthly fee is £8.99 which works out at £107.88 over the year.
Once you’ve got an Amazon Prime account, you will then need to add on Hallmark TV. This is a prime add-on which isn’t actually included in your Amazon Prime fee and it costs an additional £4.49 per month. Note that this is liable to change at any time, so make sure you double-check the cost yourself before signing up.
How to add Hallmark TV to Amazon Prime
It’s really simple to add Hallmark TV to your account, and your subscription will begin immediately, so if you’re ready to start watching Hallmark movies now, then follow the steps below.
If you’re struggling to add Hallmark TV to your Amazon Prime account, then follow these steps:
- Head to amazon.co.uk
- Click on Prime Video
- Click on the subheading Channels
- Scroll down to Prime Video Channels
- Use the arrow to scroll to the right until you see Hallmark TV
- Click on Hallmark TV and you’ll then be given the option to add it to your Amazon Prime account
Once you’ve done that, then you’re free to watch the Hallmark Channel in the UK. There are lots of seasonal films on there, it’s a really heartwarming channel to have over the Christmas period in particular. If you just want to watch films over Christmas, then you can just sign up for one month and then cancel your monthly subscription, you aren’t tied in for a particular length of time. I tend to add Hallmark TV at the beginning of December so that we can access the Christmas films for the whole month of December.
How to get the Hallmark Channel in the UK for Free
It is possible to get access to the Hallmark channel in the UK free of charge, but only for a short amount of time.
If you haven’t already got an Amazon Prime account, you can get a 30-day free trial here.
Once the 30-day free trial has ended, you will then be charged £8.99 for a monthly subscription, so make sure you cancel before the 30 days is up if you don’t want to keep your Amazon Prime subscription.
Once you’ve got your 30-day free trial set up, you can then add Hallmark movies and get a 7-day free trial. Again, be sure to cancel your subscription before the 7 days is up if you don’t want to keep it.
