Hallmark is getting way ahead of the Christmas game this year with its new film releases. so fans better get ready to celebrate the spirit of the holiday season two seasons earlier than usual.

As detailed by Entertainment Weekly, the network will release two brand new mistletoe movies this summer, long before Santa has even had a chance to finish his naughty and nice list.

9 Hallmark Christmas Movies to Watch This Holiday Season

The first, titled Christmas Camp, centers on an advertising executive (portrayed by Lily Anne Harrison) who goes to the eponymous Christmas Camp to woo a toy company account and makes acquaintances -- and maybe more -- with the camp owner's son (played by Bobby Campo). That film will be released on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries on July 7 at 9/8c, nearly half a year before Christmas, and it will be part of a full slate of "Gold Crown Christmas" content, surrounded by reruns of old favorite films in the holiday tradition.

Then, A Merry Christmas Match will come next to bring us the story of Corey (played by Ashley Newbrough), who has a quiet life at a ski resort and antique shop but is left to wonder if she was meant for more after meeting Ryder (Kyle Dean Massey). That film will arrive on the Hallmark Channel on July 13 at 9/8c and will help launch the channel's "Keepsake Christmas" event as well.

Christmas Camp and A Merry Christmas Match are just two of the 40 Christmas movies Hallmark is planning for this year, so strap in. This is gonna be a very busy sleigh ride.
