How To Watch Hallmark Movies and Mysteries without Cable

We’ve covered how to watch Hallmark Channel without Cable using TV streaming services. You can watch Hallmark Movies and Mysteries using many of these same services.

Want a Quick Answer: The cheapest way to watch Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is with Frndly TV at just $6.99 after a 1-week trial, and includes all the Hallmark channels. Philo is the next most affordable at $25 per month and provides many more popular channels than Frndly, but both services lack sports and cable news. DIRECTV STREAM, and FuboTV provide an experience closer to cable TV with cable news, sports, and local channels, but they are priced around $65-$70 per month. Sling TV (with the Lifestyle add-on) and Vidgo also provide Hallmark Movies & Mysteries in their lineup at a price point and channel selection in between streaming services like Philo and services like DIRECTV STREAM.
