Hallmark+ on hoopla!

I know it’s only September, but Hallmark Christmas movies will be here before you know it. And if you are a fan of those and other Hallmark offerings, be sure to check out the latest Binge Pass from hoopla – Hallmark+.

Hallmark+ is an all-new streaming service that provides unlimited access to exclusive new original series, reality shows, movies, and other feel-good content featuring beloved Hallmark stars. There is a huge selection of Hallmark rom-coms, cozy mysteries, heartfelt dramas, and holiday movies!

From the old (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) to the new (Chicken Sisters – Hallmark+ exclusive), there is plenty of series to watch as well as the numerous movies available.

And all of this is available to you and your patrons for only one hoopla borrow. Now that patrons have fewer borrows per month, this Binge Pass means access to more movies and series options to watch.
