Hot cocoa, twinkling lights and a murder or two: that’s the recipe for Mistletoe Murders. If you’ve been meaning to catch up on Hallmark’s festive mystery, Netflix has just made it easy. Both seasons arrive in the US this November, giving you the perfect window to binge before the new episodes begin.

A Perfectly Timed Binge
Both seasons of Mistletoe Murders will stream on Netflix in the United States from November 1, 2026. The timing is no accident. Season 3 premieres on Hallmark Channel on Thursday, November 5, as part of the network’s annual Countdown to Christmas event. That gives new viewers just under a week to catch up before fresh episodes begin airing, which is tight but doable for a show with such bite-sized, cosy episodes.
What Is Mistletoe Murders About?
Based on the Audible original by Ken Cuperus, the series follows Emily Lane, played by Sarah Drew, the owner of a Christmas store in the tourist town of Fletcher’s Grove. She has a mysterious past she’d rather keep quiet. When a string of murders shakes the town throughout the holiday season, she teams up with local detective Sam Wilner (Peter Mooney) to find out who’s behind them.
The show launched with six episodes on Hallmark+ in 2024, then made its linear debut on Hallmark Channel in October 2025, with season 2 following that November.
That Cliffhanger and What’s Next
Season 2 ended on a major cliffhanger, with Emily coming face-to-face with her hacker ex, Aaron (Aaron Ashmore). Season 3 picks up right from that moment, so this is a great time to rewatch the setup. Good Witch star Catherine Bell joins the cast for the new season, which should bring some fresh energy to Fletcher’s Grove.
Netflix and Hallmark: A Growing Partnership
Mistletoe Murders is the latest in a growing list of Hallmark titles on Netflix. The relationship was revived in 2024, when Netflix licensed 10 Hallmark Channel Christmas movies, including Haul Out the Holly, A Biltmore Christmas and Christmas in Notting Hill. Hallmark said that deal benefited its linear viewership and Hallmark+ subscriptions. In September 2025, the two companies announced an expanded multi-year licensing deal, led by The Way Home, whose first two seasons landed on Netflix in October 2025 and quickly topped the charts. Season 3 followed on February 1, 2026.
The pattern is consistent: new titles debut on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark+ first, then move to Netflix once the exclusive window closes. That suggests season 3 of Mistletoe Murders probably won’t reach Netflix until later, perhaps in time for the 2027 holidays.
