For many fans of “Mistletoe Murders,” November 7 is a date they’ve had marked on their calendar for a while. While revisiting Season 1 when it premiered on the Hallmark Channel was fun, most are ready to dive into Season 2. For the show’s star, Sarah Drew, it’s been a chance to really get to know Emily. She’s also overcome her own behind-the-scenes catastrophe, all the while contemplating the show’s future.
HallmarkCreative Cinematography Used to Hide Sarah Drew’s Broken Hand
Those who have watched all of Season 1 of “Mistletoe Murders” will recall that Drew wore a cast on her hand for part of the season. Towards the end of Season 2, she broke the same hand, and the crew had to strategically hide it from the cameras.
“I had to shoot the last ten days of the season, well, it was like six full shooting days that I still had to shoot,” Drew told Hallmark Mysteries & More. “But I broke it in the middle of the final block, which was episode five and six. So we shot half of both five and six.”
“There’s a scene where I’m walking up to this restaurant and I have both hands working,” Drew explained. “And then I walk into a kitchen and only one hand works. Then I walk down a hallway, and two hands are working.”
Ever the professional, Drew refused to hold up filming, recalling that she broke it “right before lunch, doing a scene, and I was back on set shooting the next morning at 8:00 am.”
HallmarkSarah Drew Pitches Year-Round Mistletoe Murders Concept
Drew describes Emily as “relentlessly hopeful,” which she says is also “a piece of who I am, for sure.” She and Emily also both “have a deep desire to connect with people. And we see her, at least she’s starting to allow that to happen in her life and in her world.”
“She fights for people that she cares about, for people that are often falsely accused,” she continued. “She wants justice. I think all those ways I’m pretty similar to her.”
The one aspect of Emily’s life Sarah doesn’t share — nor would she want to — is her job. “I wouldn’t own a store for Christmas,” Sarah admitted. “I don’t think I’d ever want to work in retail, if I’m being honest.”
While Hallmark hasn’t greenlit a third season yet, the second season ends on a cliffhanger, leaving the door open. While Drew definitely wants to continue exploring Emily’s background and persona, she could also envision even more for “Mistletoe Murders.”
I think it could very easily be a whole year-round show,” she said. “I mean, especially with Christmas in July, her shop is a Christmas shop that’s open all year round. It could still be ‘Mistletoe Murders,’ but happening in the summer because it’s under the mistletoe in the store. There’s lots of ways to make it work.”
Yes. It must continue. Love trying to figure out. Emily’s back story mystery.
I love this show! The mysteries are well done and Emily is a perfect sleuth. I adore Sarah Drew in any part, but she brings believability to this part. Year round?…YES!

I Truly Love this Mobie. It Definitely MUST Continue. Sarah Drew is Fabulous as Emily. Keep it Going.
Love Season 1 so excited for Season 2.
Love the show. Love trying to figure out the murders. So far I have been correct. What I would like to know is what was she before she had the Mistletoe store? What’s her mysteries pass?

I love this show! I just found this show in November 2025 and binge watched season 1 in 1 afternoon/ evening! Please give it another 10 seasons at the very least. The show and fans all deserve it! As for all year, YES, PLEASE! That is definitely something I would go for! Keep up the good work!
I really enjoy watching the Mistletoe Murder Mysteries. Look forward to the next one and hope they keep making them for a long time.
So disappointed in Hallmark discontinuing so many mystery / movies series or transferring them to Hallmark+. I pay extra to watch the 3 Hallmark channels-channel, mysteries and family. I can not pay more and more for Hallmark+ and whatever Hallmark wants to add. Cha-ching, cha-ching.
I really do enjoy watching the movies and mystery movies and hope you continue with this series.
Thank you,

If it ends on a cliffhanger it has to come back. They ended Mystery 101 on a cliffhanger and for some reason it got cut. They could have done one more episode to wrap it up. So if Mistletoe Murder ends in a cliffhanger either renew or do 1 more episode to wrap it up.
Echo all of the other comments!!! Love this series and can easily see it expand to year round! My favorite!! Please continue! Sarah and all the other actors are excellent!
Love this show, really hope it continues.
I love the show. It is refreshing to see something a little different. I hope it continues to Season 3, 4, etc. I like the characters which bring romance, mystery and joy to the series. Hope it is picked up for the next season.
Keep this show on, I love mystery movies!
