From the shoreline beaches to the fall foliage and charming downtowns, we have a lot of beautiful places in Connecticut and several have been on display in Hallmark movies. Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas lineup has been announced and one of the movies is set in Connecticut while another was filmed here.

Hallmark Channel is celebrating 15 years of “Countdown to Christmas” with 31 new movies, while Hallmark Mystery will air nine new movies as part of “Miracles of Christmas.” The annual event kicks off on Oct. 18.

No, we aren’t talking about Christmas morning. We are talking about the day that we get the full schedule for Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas and Miracles of Christmas on Hallmark Mystery. And it is so much bigger than before!
