What better way to kick off Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas 2025 celebration than with a holiday-themed murder mystery series? Mistletoe Murders is coming to Hallmark Channel after debuting during the 2024 holiday season on Hallmark Plus. The series is based on the popular Audible original story.
What is Mistletoe Murders about?
Here’s the synopsis of Mistletoe Murders from Hallmark Channel:
“Mistletoe Murders follows Emily Lane (Sarah Drew), the outwardly friends and optimistic shop owners of a charming, year-round Christmas-themed store, Under the Mistletoe. However, her inner voice reveals a sardonic sense of humor, cunning intellect and keen eye for details most people would miss…because Emily has a big secret. Residing in the quaint tourist town of Fletcher’s Grove, Emily finds herself compelled to investigate not-so-quaint local murders. And when Emily begins her personal investigations, Detective Sam Wilner (Peter Mooney), a smart local cop – with a crush on Emily that is not completely unrequited – begins to wonder if there’s more to Emily than meets the eye.”
Who is in it?
Mistletoe Murders features Sarah Drew (Grey’s Anatomy, Cruel Summer) as Emily and Peter Mooney (Rookie Blue, Saving Hope) as Sam.
