****not Christmas related My Hallmark facebook page I'm subscribed to is blowing up. The Way Home is premiering season 3 in January but on Hallmark + and will not show on regular Hallmark until the fall of 2025. They left it as a huge cliff hanger and now want to make people pay for the plus channel to see it 10 months earlier. My son pays the cable/internet for his rent so just told him for Christmas, get me the plus for a few months and then cancel after that. (I really don't want more channels)
Good news about
The Way Home:
"Where Can You Watch ‘The Way Home’ Season 3?
The new season was initially slated to air exclusively on Hallmark’s streaming service, Hallmark+, but has since changed.
In December, the network announced that
“due to overwhelming demand,” The Way Home will air on Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel. New episodes will be available on Hallmark+ the next day.

I bet the new-ish Hallmark CEO, got an earful of complaints when it was announced
The Way Home would only stream on a channel most of us have no interest in paying for. We are all sunshine, roses and candy canes until they mess with the TV programming.
They made a second, weird scheduling decision.
The Way Home marathon will be on HM&M, not the Hallmark Channel, as they didn't want to mess with airing non-stop Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel.
Schedule:
The marathon for
The Way Home, Seasons 1 & 2 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, 2pm - 12am ET, on Dec 31 (Season 1)
and Jan 1 (Season 2.)
Then,
The Way Home,
Season 3 will premiere on Friday, Jan 3 at 8pm ET/PT, 7CT on the Hallmark Channel.
