Christmas In July

Merry Christmas In July ⭐️.  These two mini pillows were made from a few fat quaters left overs from last year or season.  

They were made from quilting two easy straight forward quilt blocks.  To my surprise they came out okay.

One block was the square in a square method used and the other made with 4 - 3 1/2 squares sewn together and then turned into the square in a square method.  Then by adding a backing and stuffing accordingly.

Great easy projects to make on a hot summer day.

The fat quarters bundle was purchased at Amazon but apparently unavailable at the moment.  I have inserted the link anyway here if you like to go and check.

What is Christmas in July All About?

Christmas in July is a fun, unofficial celebration that brings Christmas-themed activities into the middle of the year, usually during July. People might exchange gifts, watch holiday movies, decorate trees, enjoy festive meals, or take advantage of seasonal sales. 12

Why it exists depends on where you are:

• In the Southern Hemisphere (such as Australia), July is winter, so it feels more like the traditional cold-weather Christmas celebrated in many Northern Hemisphere countries. 12
• In the Northern Hemisphere, it's mostly a lighthearted excuse to enjoy holiday cheer during summer. Retailers also often use it for special promotions and sales. 23

The modern tradition is often traced to a girls' summer camp in North Carolina that held a Christmas celebration in July in 1933, complete with decorations, gifts, and Santa Claus. The phrase gained wider popularity through the 1940 film Christmas in July. 435

In short: it's an extra dose of Christmas spirit halfway between one Christmas and the next. 🎄 2

That's a lovely idea! If you're celebrating Christmas in July as a sewing month, you can use it to get a head start on handmade gifts and decorations for December.

KNOWLEDGE INFORMATION

The unofficial holiday Christmas in July will be celebrated on Saturday, 25 July 2026. While the specific date marks the mid-year occasion, the entire month of July 2026 features major television programming events, massive retail shopping sales, and unique summer beach festivals. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

📺 Hallmark Channel Movie Schedule

The annual Hallmark Channel Christmas in July programming block returns Friday, June 26 through July 31, 2026. Old favorites will air around the clock, while four brand-new original movie premieres debut every Saturday night at 8 pm ET/PT: [4, 6, 7]

• July 4: Christmas Under Construction (Starring Jessica Lowndes and Daniel Lissing)
• July 11: O Little Christmas Market (Starring Katherine Barrell and Stephen Huszar)
• July 18: Snowbound for the Holidays (Starring Vanessa Lengies and Marcus Rosner)
• July 25: Love Under the Mistletoe (Starring Jen Lilley and Nick Bateman) [7]

Additionally, the second season of Christmas at Sea begins streaming on the Hallmark+ platform on July 1, 2026. [4]

🛍️ "Christmas in July" Retail Sales

The summer event serves as a major target for mid-year retail discounts. Major online marketplaces and brick-and-mortar storefronts use the theme to kickstart early holiday shopping: [5]

• Amazon Prime Day: Typically landing in mid-July, this site-wide event is heavily branded by consumers as a "Christmas in July" discount avenue.
• Independent Retailers: Expect deep clearout discounts on last year’s holiday decorations, winter clothing items, and home goods. [5]

🏝️ Featured 2026 Summer Festivals [6]

If you prefer celebrating out in the sunshine rather than watching television on the couch, several large-scale events are taking place: [1, 8]

• Xmas in July Party (British Virgin Islands): Taking place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at Pond Bay, Virgin Gorda. This massive annual Caribbean beach party attracts thousands of boaters ("The Puerto Rican Navy") and features live music and beachside events. Check the official updates via the Xmas in July Instagram Page. [1]
• Mid-Winter Pub Events: Many establishments in the Southern Hemisphere (where July is peak winter) hold authentic, cold-weather feasts. For instance, localized charity dinners, such as the Cancer Council Christmas Fundraiser on July 11, host winter-themed raffle nights. [3, 8, 9]
