Viewers seem to be wanting something new this Christmas, and ITVX’s crime drama Mistletoe Murders is currently proving popular – it’s currently the most-watched show on the platform. It’s a departure from the typical holiday story about a woman returning to her hometown and finding love.
The show, which originally aired on Hallmark last year, centers around Emily, who relocates to a quaint town only to find herself investigating a series of mysterious deaths with a Christmas theme.
All twelve episodes from both seasons are now available to watch on the streaming service, and some of the episodes have clever, pun-filled titles – like ‘Poison in a Pear Tree’.

Generally, the most popular shows on ITVX today are mostly TV series. There’s only one movie in the top 10, along with a couple of Christmas specials – the animated film The Grinch and the newest holiday episode of The Only Way is Essex.
People clearly crave some sunshine during the winter months, as evidenced by the popularity of three different versions of Love Island – the British, American, and Australian editions – all ranking among the top 10 shows.
Fans on IMDb generally agree that Mistletoe Murders successfully combines the cozy, heartwarming feel of Hallmark movies with engaging mystery stories and suspenseful moments.
One viewer was immediately captivated by the first episode, saying it was “definitely worth watching” and praising Hallmark for offering something more thought-provoking for viewers who appreciate it.
Many murder mysteries follow a predictable pattern – gloomy storylines, unlikeable characters, and unsatisfying endings. However, one viewer noted that Mistletoe Murders stood out because of its well-written script, cheerful atmosphere, and strong performances.
One viewer commented that just as things seemed clear, another mystery would appear, which kept the show exciting and made them want to know more. But it wasn’t only the puzzles and suspense that were good – the show also managed to combine those thrilling parts with heartfelt stories, similar to what you’d expect from a Hallmark movie.
Another fan expressed hope for a third season, praising the show as a standout production for Hallmark. They noted that while many Hallmark movies are average and easily forgotten, this series is different and truly memorable.
Mistletoe Murders is available to stream on now on ITVX.
