Skip the Christmas section, because Luke Perry never filmed one. Across eight movies between 2005 and 2016 he top-billed six of them, and he spent that stretch well away from the small town under fake snow that defines most of the network. His best is Love in Paradise from 2016, which at 6.5 edges out the 2011 western Goodnight for Justice at 6.2. He worked the small town now and then, four of the eight, but the season label on most is simply "Multiple," so there is no signature month to pin him to. No fixed co-star either. The faces around him rotate from one picture to the next, which means he was the anchor rather than half of a permanent pair. If you want a Hallmark lead who skipped the holiday playbook entirely, his run is an easy left turn from your usual rotation.
