What would you do if your best friend signed up you for 12 dates before Christmas? That’s exactly what Kate needs to deal with on 12 Dates ‘Til Christmas.

This is a new Hallmark limited series, which does sound unusual for a lot of people who are used to romantic movies this time of year. It just allows for a little more time to tell the full story, as there is a lot to go through when it comes to 12 dates in the run-up to Christmas.

How to watch 12 Dates ‘Til Christmas

There is only one place to watch the new series live. 12 Dates ‘Til Christmas airs on Fridays at 8/7c on Hallmark. You will need the channel connected to your cable provider to enjoy.

What if you like to watch things on streaming? Hallmark has its own streaming platform, Hallmark+. If you have this, you’ll be able to watch the new Mae Whitman series starting on Saturday mornings. The best thing is that this show will be available after all episodes have aired, giving you something fun for Christmas Eve has you prep all the food.

The 12 Dates ‘Til Christmas finale will air on Friday, Dec. 19. There are only four episodes to the story.

What is 12 Dates ‘Til Christmas about?

Kate lives in England with her father, who is in need of her help after suffering a motorbike accident. He would love to spend his time alone, and Mae has found that is the way to live as well. That is until her best friend signs her up for 12 Christmas-themed dates without her even knowing about it.

Rather than let the opportunity pass her by, Kate decides to give the experiment a chance. Along the way, she meets a few men who may or may not be the perfect match for her. How will they react when they learn Kate didn’t choose to sign up for the dates, though? Or will she be honest about that from the start?

This is the first time Hallmark has brought a rom-com series like this, and it’s going to be a great test to see if it will happen again. Honestly, sometimes a limited series is just right to tell the full story and not rush the romance, and I get the feeling that 12 Dates ‘Til Christmas will benefit from the longer form of storytelling.

12 Dates ‘Til Christmas airs on Fridays at 8/7c on Hallmark.
