Hallmark New Year's Movies

The top score here at 8.4 with over 600 votes. A Hope Valley New Year's, with the town throwing a grand celebration while Elizabeth and Jack patch up a jealousy spat and Rosemary tells a whopper about being married to impress a reporter. This is a true New Year's film, the countdown and fresh-start theme right at the center, though it is also a When Calls the Heart ensemble piece with several threads. There is a famously odd recipe headed for a time capsule. Warm and busy. A real delight for series fans, and the best-rated title here.

Carley takes on a list of New Year resolutions she left unfinished the year before. With Wyatt’s help, she works through the goals before the year ends and starts to make room for the life she wants.

Rated 6.7 with nearly 1,500 votes. A New Year's Resolution is a true New Year's film: workaholic TV producer Kelly (Aimee Teegarden) vows to say "yes" to every invitation until her 30th birthday, turns it into an on-air segment, and falls for a marketing exec (Michael Rady) whose bank lands in her newsroom's crosshairs. The resolution premise and the integrity-versus-romance conflict are the draw, plus Kelly's intense phobia of magicians. Light and breezy. One of the genuine fresh-start movies here, right down to the title.

After a New Year's Eve breakup, magazine writer Cara starts a dating detox and takes on an assignment about it. The holiday split sets the winter romance in motion.

The Bridge faces a January 1 sale deadline, and Molly and Ryan reunite to help save the bookstore that shaped their lives.

Rated 6.2 with over 2,100 votes. Royal New Year's Eve is a true New Year's film: aspiring designer Caitlyn (Jessy Schram) falls for a man she thinks is a struggling model but who is actually a prince (Sam Page), all while designing the gown for his socialite girlfriend's New Year's Eve ball. The countdown and the royal-ball climax are the whole structure. A Cinderella-flavored romance with a memorable bit about a prince's life-altering reaction to a New York street-cart hot dog. Cheryl Ladd appears. Genuinely New Year's, and fun.

Matchmaker Amy gives herself until the next New Year's Eve to find a partner. The deadline turns her matchmaking skills toward her own love life.

Rated 6 with over 1,800 votes. A Rose for Christmas: art teacher Andy (Rachel Boston) takes over her ailing father's family business building a Rose Parade float, clashing with a rigid corporate exec nicknamed "The Bulldozer" (Marc Bendavid). This one has a genuine New Year's hook, the Rose Parade deadline lands on New Year's Day, so the tag fits better than most Christmas crossovers. The draw is the art-versus-commerce romance and the oddly high-stakes drama over the parade's all-botanical materials rule. Pleasant and warm. A nicely on-theme pick.

Rated 6 with over 1,000 votes. A Midnight Kiss is a true New Year's film, right down to the title: a brother and sister preparing to take over the family party-planning business land a high-stakes New Year's Eve event, and perfectionist Mia (Adelaide Kane) clashes with a free-spirited filmmaker (Carlos PenaVega) brought on to help. The midnight-countdown climax is the whole structure. A breezy save-the-business romance with the holiday baked in. Light and easy. One of the genuinely New-Year's-centered films here, if you want pure midnight-kiss energy.

June and Alex get engaged on New Year's Eve, launching plans for the June wedding she wants in her mother's memory. The holiday moment sets the family conflict in motion.
