Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to unwind with a cozy Hallmark romance. If you’re a Peacock subscriber, you know full well that the NBCUniversal-owned streamer used to house a whole slew of Hallmark TV shows and movies. The three-year-long contract between the two ended in May 2025, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your fill of small-town love stories, Christmas romances and light-hearted mysteries.
If you’re pining for that classic Hallmark goodness, I’ve got a tip for you. You can watch everything you’ve been missing to ring in Valentine’s Day right. And you won’t have to pay a dime. Yes, free, gratis, at no cost to you whatsoever.
What’s all the hoopla, you must be wondering. Well, not to be cheeky or anything, but it’s Hoopla, actually.
Fun wordplay aside, Hoopla is the streaming spot where you can find that Hallmark goodness you’ve been missing out on. It’s a digital entertainment platform with all sorts of audiobooks, podcasts, movies, TV shows, music and educational material to keep you engaged. Your local public library provides this cost-free app.
The Hallmark Channel’s entire collection is available here through the platform’s Hallmark Plus BingePass. With this feature, you can borrow premium content for seven days. Get ready to binge all the charming love stories you want. This is the perfect way to catch up if you’re behind on hit shows like Ride and When Calls the Heart. It’s all ad-free with just a single click.
I Love Hallmark Movies, but This New Netflix Flick Shakes Up the Rom-Com Formula
First, you will need a valid library card and email address to sign up for the Hallmark Plus BingePass on Hoopla. Visit the Hoopla website (or download the mobile app) and follow the steps to create an account. Keep your library card on hand, as you may be asked to provide your card number and PIN. You can sign up for one if you don’t have a library card.
Once you complete the setup process for your Hoopla account, you can start streaming. From there, simply pick the Hallmark Plus BingePass option from the BingePass prompt to watch. Not all libraries support Hoopla, so I recommend checking with your local branch to see if the service is available. If you would rather not rely on the library to scratch that feel-good movie itch, you can try Pluto TV and watch its curated channel, devoted to all things Hallmark.
Want the entire library and don’t mind paying? You can always sign up for Hallmark Plus — the channel’s exclusive streaming platform — for $8 a month or $80 a year. A paid subscription gets you access to Hallmark’s content library along with all-new exclusive original series and movies. Extra perks, as listed on the Hallmark Plus website, include a Hallmark Gold Crown Store coupon, Crown Rewards points, unlimited eCards and exclusive surprises.
