Hallmark Exits Peacock: Free Alternative for Fans

After three years, the programming deal between Hallmark and Peacock is now over. All your favorite holiday movies, small-town romances, and low-stakes murder mysteries are no longer available on the NBC-owned streamer. But don’t worry, we’ve got a free alternative for you to keep enjoying that feel-good content.

Have you heard of Hoopla? It’s a digital app that offers a wide range of entertainment options like audiobooks, podcasts, movies, TV shows, music, and manga, all for free thanks to your local public library. With Hoopla’s Hallmark Plus BingePass, you can access Hallmark’s entire programming collection, including festive love stories and popular TV shows like Ride and When Calls the Heart, ad-free for seven days with just a click of a button.

To sign up for the Hallmark Plus BingePass on Hoopla, all you need is a valid library card and email address. Simply head over to the Hoopla website or download the app, follow the sign-up steps, and enter your library card number and PIN if prompted. And if you don’t have a library card yet, don’t worry – you can sign up for one easily.

Once your Hoopla account is set up, you can start streaming right away. Choose the Hallmark Plus BingePass option from the BingePass prompt and enjoy your favorite Hallmark content. If Hoopla isn’t available at your local library, you can also try Pluto TV, which has a curated channel dedicated to all things Hallmark.

If you prefer to have access to the entire library and don’t mind paying, you can sign up for Hallmark Plus, the channel’s exclusive streaming platform, for $8 a month or $80 a year. This subscription gives you access to Hallmark’s content library, exclusive original series and movies, along with extra perks like a Hallmark Gold Crown Store coupon, Crown Rewards points, unlimited eCards, and exclusive surprises.
