According to New Yorker magazine journalist Sarah Larson, The Hallmark Channel, launched by the greeting card company in 1991, has found a niche so profound in the hearts of viewers, that original films, broadcast 24/7 by the network, have made this channel the No. 1 destination for female viewers between the ages of 25 and 54.
It’s the channel of choice for nursing homes and hospitals because the content is so uplifting, romantic, lighthearted, and compelling, it’s must-watch TV for everyone hungry for nostalgia who is eager to spend a few hours escaping from reality. Best of all, “Hallmark takes pains to be apolitical,” say network execs. No wonder this channel is so beloved!

One of the most inspiring facets of movies made for the Hallmark Channel is the lush locations used to create idyllic backgrounds for storylines. Producers search the world for gorgeous landscapes that drive storylines forward. From romantic sleds sweeping across snow-filled fields to vibrant cityscapes, few locations rival those of tropical beaches where silence is interrupted only by waves washing ashore. Few beaches rival those found in Belize, according to travel writers and photographers.
Which beaches won the hearts of Hallmark cinematographers? Those along the Placencia peninsula and they didn’t have to go far to find colorful, exotic locations off the shoreline. For practical crew members, shipping equipment, sets, and props were easy thanks to short flights from major North American hubs. Further, producers found no shortage of English-speaking extras eager to be part of the filming. See for yourself why the Placencia peninsula was picked to star in the film Caribbean Summer, debuting on the Hallmark Channel on June 11 at 8 p.m. ET.
