Seasons 1 and 2 of Hallmark's cozy Christmas mystery just hit Netflix and peaked at No. 5 in the U.S. Season 3 is airing on Hallmark now, and What's on Netflix's best guess for its Netflix arrival is Nov. 1, 2027.
If you binged Mistletoe Murders on Netflix this month and want Season 3, you'll need Hallmark, or a lot of patience.
What's on Netflix said Thursday, Nov. 12, that Season 3 won't reach Netflix this Christmas. Its best guess is Nov. 1, 2027, with a likely window of late October to early November next year. Netflix hasn't announced a date.
Seasons 1 and 2 arrived on Netflix in the U.S. on Nov. 1, 2026. The show then spent eight days in Netflix's daily U.S. Top 10 and peaked at No. 5, What's on Netflix reported, citing FlixPatrol.
Season 3 premiered Nov. 5 on Hallmark Channel. So the new episodes are out there. Just not on the streamer where most fans found the show.
Where can I watch Mistletoe Murders Season 3?
On Hallmark Channel and Hallmark+. Here's the schedule:
Hallmark Channel: new episodes Thursdays at 8/7c, part of Countdown to Christmas
Hallmark+: each episode streams the day after it airs
Episodes: six, told as three two-part mysteries, What's on Netflix reported
Finale: Thursday, Dec. 10
Hallmark+ also has Seasons 1 and 2, according to Hallmark's show page.
Why is Mistletoe Murders Season 3 not on Netflix yet?
A licensing window. Under the multiyear Hallmark deal Netflix struck in September 2025, new Hallmark shows play on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark+ first. Netflix gets them after that exclusive run ends, What's on Netflix explained.
Recent gaps between a Hallmark finale and a Netflix debut, per What's on Netflix:
The Way Home Season 3: about 11 months (Hallmark finale March 2025, Netflix Feb. 1, 2026)
The Way Home Season 4: about six months (Hallmark finale April 2026, Netflix Oct. 1, 2026)
Mistletoe Murders Season 2: about 11 months (Hallmark finale November 2025, Netflix Nov. 1, 2026)
The window looks like it's shrinking. But a Christmas show landing on Netflix in June makes zero sense, so What's on Netflix expects Netflix to hold Season 3 for the start of the 2027 holiday season.
What is Mistletoe Murders about?
Sarah Drew plays Emily Lane, who runs a Christmas store in the tourist town of Fletcher's Grove and has a mysterious past. Peter Mooney plays Sam Wilner, the local detective who keeps ending up solving murders with her. It's based on an Audible original by Ken Cuperus.
It's a cozy mystery, so expect wreaths, cocoa and a body or two. Season 1 launched on Hallmark+ in 2024 with six episodes before moving to Hallmark Channel in October 2025.
What happens in Mistletoe Murders Season 3?
Season 3 picks up right where Season 2 ended, with Emily's ex, Aaron (Aaron Ashmore), on her doorstep. He's a hacker and her former partner at Chimera.
The first mystery, "Don't Fear the Wreather," has Emily and Sam investigating a wreathmaker accused of killing her husbands. Meanwhile, Violet and June nominate Emily for town "Cheerman" to keep her in Fletcher's Grove, Hallmark's episode guide says.
Next up is "We Three Kims." Hallmark also teases a case about a missing figure skater with a traveling show.
Catherine Bell of Good Witch and Holly Robinson Peete guest star this season, What's on Netflix reported.
Is there a Mistletoe Murders Season 4?
Not yet. Hallmark renewed the show for Season 3 on Feb. 20, 2026, as TVLine first reported. Drew told TVLine the show was her favorite job so far.
What's on Netflix expects a Season 4 decision in early 2027. If it happens, it would likely air during Countdown to Christmas 2027, right around when Season 3 could reach Netflix. There's also no guarantee Netflix licenses more seasons.
What should I watch while I wait?
Seasons 1 and 2 are on Netflix now if you haven't finished. For more Hallmark on Netflix, The Way Home Seasons 1 through 4 are there too, per What's on Netflix's timeline.
Or try Hallmark+ before the Dec. 10 finale. Waiting for Netflix is free, but it's also about 11 months.
