These four Christmas in July entries premiered in July. Christmas Under Construction is the Hallmark title for Renovation Romance (2024), so its 2026 date is a Hallmark airing rather than a new production. The group is listed separately from the Countdown to Christmas announcements because this page does not claim to cover the full Christmas slate.
