Here are the 10 best new original Christmas movies on UPtv for 2019

All movies premiere on Sundays at 7 p.m. ET.

A Christmas Movie Christmas

UPtv kicks off their holiday movie extravaganza on Sunday, October 27, at 7 p.m. ET. I previewed this movie a couple weeks ago and I can’t remember when I’ve laughed so hard. The film pokes fun at every Christmas movie cliche when two sisters (one aptly named Eve Bell) find themselves trapped in a Christmas movie. There’s the perfect ruby-cheeked grandmother who loves baking Christmas cookies, the perfectly handsome boyfriend, the other potential love interest that loves to handcraft greeting cards for his crush, the miserly boss and even a Christmas decorating montage. The film is written by real-life couple Kim Hildago and Brant Daugherty who also star in the film as Eve’s sister and her love interest, alongside Lana McKissack and Ryan Merriman.

Christmas with a Prince: Becoming Royal

In this sequel to Christmas with a Prince, this film takes place one year after Dr. Tasha (Kaitlyn Leeb) and Prince Alex (Nick Hounslow) met and fell in love. Tasha is on her way to spend the holidays in San Saverre and get a taste of royal life. When Alex surprises her with a royal engagement, she spends her first magical days there trying to stay grounded while managing the task of planning a royal wedding. But when Miranda (Anastasia Marinina) starts scheming to break the two up, it will take a big sacrifice and a Christmas miracle to make sure they get the holiday royal wedding of their dreams. Charles Shaughnessy also stars as King Edward. Premieres November 3.

Rock N’ Roll Christmas

An estranged mother/daughter country music duo (Catherine Mary Stewart, Beverley Mitchell) reunite after years apart to release a Christmas single after a video of them goes viral. Now, they’re going to need a lot of forgiveness and a little Christmas magic to write a song that perfectly captures the spirit of Christmas and brings their family back together. Premieres Sunday, November 10.

Christmas Cupcakes

When their family bakery may have to close its doors right before Christmas, rival sisters Kim (Erin Karpluk) and Gina (Cindy Busby) must team up in a national baking competition to win the grand prize.  Thrown into a world of fierce competitors and a ticking clock, it will take a Christmas miracle to save the bakery, though they may discover a prize much larger than they had hoped for. Premieres November 17.

A Christmas Recipe for Romance

When a prestigious food festival and cooking competition comes to her small town, Abby (Madeline Leon) sees it as the perfect opportunity to book up her failing family-run inn and win some much-needed cash to save it from foreclosure. The only problem is… Abby is a terrible cook! But when a Christmas miracle drops a well-known and slightly disgraced celebrity chef Jason Corwin (Sebastian Sacco) on her doorstep, Abby knows this is her chance to save her business, and help Jason regain his reputation. Add a pinch of sugar and a dash of Christmas magic,  and the two may just end up cooking up more than a winning recipe. Premieres November 24.

Snowbound for Christmas

A marketing executive (Zarrin Darnell-Martin) is invited by her charming and handsome boss (Henderson Wade) to pitch a major project to prospective clients at a posh resort.
