Hallmark Plus is a subscription video on demand service offering family-friendly movies, romantic dramas and television shows. It is owned by renowned greeting card maker Hallmark Cards.
The streaming service first got it’s start back in 2007 as SpiritClips and later Feeln after it was purchased by Hallmark. Feeln was rebranded in 2017 as Hallmark Movies Now and then Hallmark Plus in September 2024.
Christmas and holiday movies are a big attraction for Hallmark’s TV network, The Hallmark Channel. Many of these holiday movies can also be found on Hallmark Plus.
Hallmark Plus has apps for your favorite devices including Android and Apple as well as it can be found in the premium channel addons for Amazon Prime Video, The Roku Channel, and YouTubeTV.
New customers can decide whether the service is worth it by taking a 7-day free trial offered everywhere Hallmark Plus is available.
Below, I’ve outlined how to easily join the service and included other information you may need to know about the streamer.
How To Start a Hallmark Plus Free Trial
There are a number of different ways you can sign up for Hallmark Plus, all of them offering a 7-day free trial.
You can, of course, sign up by downloading an app for your device or you can use one of the other methods I’ll outline below.
Here are a few different ways you can get Hallmark Plus.
1. Direct (Hallmark Plus website)
One of the best ways to sign up is through the Hallmark Plus official website. There’s nothing else to free trial or subscribe to if you go the direct route and your login credentials can be used with the app for your favorite device.
You can check out the Hallmark Plus website here to start your free 7-day trial.
2. Subscription Platforms
Various third parties offer Hallmark Plus as a premium channel addon that you can subscribe to. They’ll manage the payments and you can normally watch content in their app or on their website in your browser.
Here are some of the subscription platforms offering a 7-day free trial to Hallmark Plus.
- Amazon Prime Video channels – if you’re already a Prime or Prime Video member then you can add Hallmark Plus and get a 7-day free trial to watch content in the Prime Video app.
- The Roku Channel – besides the Roku app for Roku devices and TVs, you can add Hallmark Plus as a premium channel inside The Roku Channel app. You can also subscribe via the website and watch in your browser.
3. TV Providers
Some services that offer digital television subscriptions also let you add premium channels to the base subscription.
One such service is YouTube TV which offers a 7-day free trial to Hallmark Plus and over a dozen other channels.
Check out below how to subscribe to Hallmark Plus and get a 7-day free trial with each method. You may even try them all back-to-back and get over 28 days of free Hallmark Plus.
Get a Hallmark Plus Free Trial Directly
As mentioned before, getting a free trial directly from the Hallmark Plus website is probably the best way to subscribe.
There are a few benefits to doing this.
- Only one subscription to manage
- Use login credentials on the website or with app
- Manage your subscription directly with Hallmark Plus
- Watch in app on TV or directly in your browser
To get started, you can find the Hallmark Plus website here.
After clicking on the “Start Your 7-day Free Trial” button, follow the instructions below for easy signup.
1. Create your account
The first step is to enter your name, email address and choose a password to create your account.
The form seems to have a lot more fields than most streaming service signup forms. You’ll need to enter your first and last name in two separate fields and after entering your email address you’ll need to enter it again to confirm it. Then choose a password.
Check the box below the form to agree to the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and more before you proceed.
2. Choose your plan
There are two plans to pick from – an annual plan ($79.99) saves you some cash if you’re planning on keeping Hallmark Plus that long and a monthly plan of $7.99.
I’d recommend choosing the monthly plan on a free trial. In the event that you forget to cancel you’ll get charged the smaller amount. You can always change your plan at anytime from your account settings.
3. Enter your billing information
The next step is to add your billing information. You will not be charged here. Your info is saved securely so that you can be charged when your free trial expires. To avoid charges, you’ll need to cancel before the end of the trial period.
When I first took this free trial, credit card was the only option. It’s good to see that they’ve now added PayPal for those who prefer to subscribe that way.
If you have a promo code, this is where you’d insert it.
Once your payment is approved, you’ll be forwarded to your dashboard where you can start streaming.
Get Hallmark Plus on Prime Video
Amazon’s Prime Video gives you access to lots of on-demand films and television shows. It also lets you add premium channels such as Starz, MGM+, and Britbox, all with a 7-day free trial.
Hallmark Plus is one of those channels and if you’re already a Prime member, it may make sense to just add it to your account. This way, you’ll keep all your subscriptions under one account and you can access the content in your Prime Video app.
If you’re not already a member, you can get a full 30-day free trial to Prime Video which will allow you to try out any of the premium channels available.
To get your 7-day free trial of Hallmark Plus, simply log into your Amazon Prime account and follow the instructions below.
- Go to the Hallmark Plus channel page in Prime Video.
- Click on the “More details” button on the channel banner
- Click on the “Start Your 7-day free trial” button.
- Confirm your details on the next page.
- Click on the “Start Your Free Trial” button to start watching.
Hallmark Plus Price After Free Trial
During the signup process, Hallmark Plus lets you choose from two plans. An annual plan which costs $79.99 works out to be about $6.67/month. The monthly plan costs $7.99/month.
Whichever plan you choose here is what you’ll pay after your free trial expires.
To avoid being charged after your free trial, Hallmark Plus allows you to cancel at any time and continue watching until the trial is over.
You can also enter a promo code at signup to get more savings.
On other platforms other than the official website, you may not be able to choose the annual option. Prime Video, for example, does not allow you to choose annual payments so the only option is to pay $7.99 each month.
What To Watch on Hallmark Plus
Hallmark Plus is a niche streaming service that focuses on family-friendly, feel-good content. You could say that the content fits the image of a Hallmark card.
You’ll find content from The Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, and Hallmark Hall of Fame.
Romantic dramas, Christmas and holiday movies, and TV series are all available on Hallmark Plus.
You don’t have to subscribe or become a member to see what’s available in the Hallmark Plus library because you can browse the website and view the library of films and series. Convenient tags let you find the type of movie you’re looking for.
Some popular series available on Hallmark Plus include:
Hallmark Plus has about 800 to 1000 hours of content to watch so it may be worth the $7.99 monthly fee required to watch. However, if you’re not sure, this is the reason why you’re getting a 7-day free trial – so you can decide for yourself.
