The new movies on Hallmark Channel begin airing Sunday, Jan. 1, with the premiere of The Dog Lover’s Guide to Dating. It stars Rebecca Dalton as a professional dog trainer named Alex who definitely prefers her canine clients to their owners. Alex is understandably skeptical when Simon (Cory Sevier) hires her to teach him how to win over his girlfriend’s beloved pug. But as Simon and Alex spend more time together, he begins to realize he’s falling for the standoffish dog expert. But will she open her heart and let him into her life? 

The Dog Lover’s Guide to Dating airs Sunday, Jan. 1 at 8 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel. 

A new ‘Wedding Veil’ trilogy is also on the Hallmark movie schedule in January 2023

Hallmark struck gold with last year’s Wedding Veil trilogy, which starred Lacey Chabert, Autumn Reeser, and Alison Sweeney as a trio of friends whose lives are changed by a magical wedding veil. The new movies pick up with each woman a year later. Emma (Reeser), Avery (Chabert), and Tracy (Sweeney) are all facing new challenges. Could the magic of the veil help them once again? 

Here’s when each new movie airs:

  • The Wedding Veil Expectations airs Saturday, Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. ET. 
  • The Wedding Veil Inspiration airs Saturday, Jan. 14 at 8 p.m. ET.
