Cancel your weekend beach plans because it's never too early for Christmas—at least according to Hallmark! 😂

The channel that's responsible for some of our favorite festive, romantic movies announced a new sequel to one of their most popular flick's on last year's Countdown to Christmas line up. Of course, we're talking about Haul Out The Holly starring Lacey Chabert and Wes Brown.

If you were one of the many fans to watch the Hallmark Christmas movie last year, you probably already know that the hilarious comedy became an instant holiday classic. Well, now you can prepare for an early Christmas gift because Chabert and Brown are back for the follow up film: Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up.

"As the holidays approach, Emily (Chabert) and Jared (Brown) are looking forward to celebrating the holidays together again, this time as a couple," the folks at Hallmark said in a statement.

The sequel won't premiere until later this year when Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas returns, but if you're looking for a little holiday spirit, you're in luck! A sneak peek of the new movie will debut during Hallmark's Christmas in July movie marathon programming which is happening right now! On Saturday, July 22 at 8 P.M. ET, the Hallmark channel will show the original film and debut a special first look at the new Haul Out the Holly sequel.

So what will the new movie be about? According to Hallmark, Emily is ready to embrace Evergreen Lane's festive spirit, but when a house in the neighborhood goes up for sale, the town becomes a flurry of gossip—especially since the new residents turn out to be holiday royalty! "As the welcoming committee prepares for the new arrivals, only one thing is certain—this Christmas, Evergreen Lane is going to sleigh!"

I guess it's time to break out those matching Christmas pajamas and get ready for a Hallmark movie marathon! 🎄
