1) The Walking Dead
2) Hallmark's Looks Like Christmas
3) Hallmark's A Dream of Christmas
(This post is not a joke.)
"The total audiences for these each of movies — 3.9 million for “Looks Like Christmas” and 3.8 million for “A Dream of Christmas” — is larger than that for most of Fox’s Sunday prime-time lineup and pretty much every show on The CW that isn’t “The Flash.”
Hallmark’s cable channels debut original films year-round, making the company one of the most prolific producers, if not the most prolific, of made-for-TV movie content going. “Really, the Hallmark Channel is more reflective of Hallmark Cards and the retail calendars,” Abbott explained. “So we’ve gone into fall, and winter, and spring, and summer, as well as Valentine’s Day, Kitten Bowl, and a lot of other events that also do really big ratings. We’ve expanded our business and become much more of a 12-months-of-the-year consistent player.

Christmas is by far the most lucrative time of year for Hallmark’s channels, generating 30 percent of their annual revenue."
