 Amid characters going through love, heartbreak and evolutions of dear friendships, folks can't get enough of the show, particularly the plots involving Elizabeth Thatcher Thornton (Erin Krakow)'s love life. And the network clearly sees their fans' love of the drama, as When Calls the Heart is already set to air season 11 sometime in 2024.


Alongside the hit series, Hallmark always gave When Calls the Heart viewers a Christmas present via a film airing on Christmas Day. But over the last few years, there was unexpected coal in the stocking, as Hearties never got to see a movie dedicated to the holiday season in Hope Valley. 

 

While they were eventually compensated with an additional two episodes being added to later seasons that usually featured just 10 installments, fans have still held out hope that there will be a holiday film featuring Elizabeth, Lucas Bouchard (Chris McNally), Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry) and others.
