Hallmark Countdown to Christmas - 2025 Ratings

Hallmark continues its Countdown to Christmas, though this year will feature "just" twenty-four new Christmas-themed films from October to December, a marked decrease from last year. Last year, the films averaged 0.12 in the 18-49 demo and 1.5 million viewers, a sharp 35% in the demo and 22% in total viewers. This year has marked another clear decline, with its declines being slightly worse than last year's, though ratings typically trend up as the season continues, so it's likely to end up with a better trend than last year. You can check out the full list of ratings for every film in this year's Countdown to Christmas series below, and you can return to this page over the course of the holiday season as more ratings come in. This page will include all of Hallmark's original films and specials, but not any of their holiday-themed original programming, including Mistletoe Murders and Finding Mr. Christmas.
