Wallet-friendly streaming service Philo already offers a wealth of general entertainment, movies, lifestyle shows and knowledge-based programming without breaking the bank. Now, the service is adding Hallmark Plus as an option for streamers to unlock a trove of holiday movies and family-friendly films.
Starting this week, Philo streamers who utilize the service’s free or paid tiers will be able to add Hallmark Plus for $8 per month, giving them access to holiday shows and films like “Holidazed and Mistletoe Murders,” Hallmark’s first-ever limited series; “Finding Mr. Christmas,” a reality-based competition show; and “Groomsman,” a trilogy inspired by “The Wedding Veil.”
The add-on is available to those who use Philo’s core TV service, which costs $28 per month and includes more than 70 premium cable networks, including three Hallmark-branded channels, as well as the premium movie service AMC Plus and a cloud DVR that saves shows for one year.
Philo offers a seven-day free trial of its premium service, and users can cancel at any time. The service also offers a seven-day free trial of all its add-on packages, including Hallmark Plus, without any obligation.
“With Hallmark Plus now part of our add-on lineup, you can customize your subscription like never before,” a Philo spokesperson said in a blog post on Wednesday. “From exclusive content to premium add-ons, Philo continues to bring you more of what you love.”
Hallmark Plus was originally announced in July, with Hallmark Media executives saying the streaming service would be the first point of distribution for a slate of new Christmas-themed movies, as well as 300 Hallmark films.
