If you can believe it, the very first When Calls the Heart Christmas special aired nearly a decade ago. After that, Hearties could look forward to watching an annual holiday episode of the series every Christmas Eve for another four years. Then, the show abruptly ended its Christmas tradition after season 7’s holiday special.

Although it doesn’t look like there will be a new Christmas special to look forward to this year, you can always go back and rewatch the older ones to get in the holiday spirit. Below you’ll find a list of every When Calls the Heart Christmas special and exactly how to watch them this holiday season, plus a couple other show and movie recommendations to watch if you’re a fan of show.
