Hallmark Media is proud to announce the renewal of fan-favorite mystery series Mistletoe Murders, returning for a third season. Sarah Drew (Grey’s Anatomy), who also serves as executive producer, stars as Emily Lane, a small-town shop owner with a secret past.

Mistletoe Murders follows Emily Lane (Drew), the outwardly friendly, and optimistic shop owner of a charming, year-round Christmas-themed store, who has been harboring a big secret. Residing in the quaint tourist town of Fletcher’s Grove, Emily finds herself compelled to investigate not-so-quaint local murders. As Emily works with Detective Sam Wilner (Mooney), a smart local cop – he discovers that the bigger mystery is Emily herself. Season two ended on a thrilling cliffhanger, leaving the stakes for Emily and Sam higher than ever.

Exciting casting news has been revealed for the upcoming Countdown to Christmas 2026 premiere, "A Grand Biltmore Christmas."
