Cozy mystery but make it Christmas? Now that’s something we can get behind! Sarah Drew has taken the lead in the last two seasons of Hallmark’s Mistletoe Murders, and ever since Season 2 concluded, fans have been waiting around for Emily Lane’s next adventure.
Back in February, Sarah Drew and Peter Mooney took to social media to announce that a third season would be headed our way, and just yesterday, Hallmark finally gave us a glimpse at what’s to come when the new season hits screens as part of this year’s Countdown to Christmas. Here, everything we know about Mistletoe Murders Season 3.
Hallmark’s ‘Mistletoe Murders’ is a fan-favorite holiday series
In Hallmark’s Mistletoe Murders, Sarah Drew plays Emily, the owner of a Christmas shop living in the quaint community of Fletcher’s Grove. Despite her unassuming appearance and positive presence within the community, Emily is hiding a secret past life that gives her a unique edge when it comes to solving the murders and mysteries that plague her home. Along the way, she forms a connection with Detective Sam Wilner, and over time, he comes to accept the assistance she provides.
In the second season of the series, viewers learned more about Emily’s backstory while Sam learned to cope with the knowledge that Emily was hiding details about her identity. All the while, they used their individual skills to work through several mysteries, but things truly came to a head in the season finale. Trapped in a walk-in freezer with their lives at risk, Emily came clean to Sam about her past as an intelligence agent. After Sam reacted with acceptance and empathy, the two shared a kiss, altering the trajectory of their future to come.
‘Mistletoe Murders’ Season 3 promises more mystery—and perhaps more romance
Just a few days ago, Hallmark unveiled a first look at Mistletoe Murders Season 3, and there’s much on the horizon for Emily, Sam and the Fletcher’s Grove crew. Sam and Emily look to share a sweet reunion in this brief preview, with one scene giving a glimpse at their crime-solving dynamic.
“My job is to follow the evidence, not my heart,” says Mooney’s character. “Sometimes the heart just knows,” Emily responds.
Though not much has been revealed about the specific mysteries set to unfold this season, we do know it will debut during Hallmark’s 2026 Countdown to Christmas, and viewers are truly thrilled to see the show back on screens. Hallmark shared a glimpse at the preview in a post shared to their Instagram, and fans flooded the comments with words of excitement. “The real mystery is how many more times I’ll rewatch the first two seasons before the third season premieres!,” wrote one user. “Such a wonderful series,” wrote another fan. “Hallmark hit it out of the park. A true crime mystery that has a quality script with a fantastic cast that is authentically portraying believable characters…hope to see many more seasons!”
While we wait for Mistletoe Murders Season 3, now’s the time to either dive into this show for the first time or do a rewatch before the story continues. Catch it on Hallmark+ and embrace your inner sleuth!
