Several of the paid streaming services have a FREE version that you can watch directly on your web browser, just like the regular YouTube movies. There are a few ads in the movies, which is how the services make their money without charging us. But, it's nothing like the amount of ads when watching TV.
I don't know I you've tried any of them. But, I'll have a list of links for you and everyone in a couple of days. They do have some Hallmark Christmas movies. Some of them even have a Hallmark channel on their service with many of the older movies Hallmark isn't showing anymore.
Finally have time to post the links for the
FREE streaming services that can be watched on a web browser - NO app installed needed to watch. I'm including the parent companies - the paid streaming versions, so you know these are all legit services. Again, they show some ads, which is how they offer the movies & TV shows free to us. But the ads are not as long or as many as watching regular TV commercials.
PlutoTV (is
Paramount/CBS's FREE streaming service. They have LOTS of older Hallmark Christmas movies and non-Christmas movies not showing on Hallmark now.)

Do a SEARCH in the top right of the window for "Hallmark" or "Christmas" movies.
They also have the Hallmark Movies & More channel:

Tubi (is

Xumo (is
Comcast and
Charter's FREE streaming service. It is ad supported. They also have many older Hallmark Christmas and non-Christmas movies and have some different content than PlutoTV and some episodes of
Cedar Cove.)

Roku Channel: Roku is a device to watch TV, yet they also have their own CHANNEL / streaming service. One does NOT need the device to watch their channel.

I think they have more UPtv Christmas movies, but there are a few Hallmark movies thrown in:

Freevee: This takes a bit of explaining. Freevee's free movies were part of the IMDb .com's free streaming service. Then the IMDb was bought by
Amazon .
They kept the name Freevee and the separate Freevee website to watch the movies. But, a short while ago, Amazon decided to just show all the FREE movies through their own Amazon Prime website. So the movies are mixed in with their paid Prime service.
You Do NOT have to have a Prime membership to watch the Freevee movies. They do want you to be logged into your Amazon account. You can tell which movies are the Freevee FREE movies as they will still be called "Freevee" OR it will say, "Freevee with ads." Any PAID movies will always list the price of the movie, so you won't accidentally buy a movie that you don't want to.
