Cozy sweater weather is here, which means it's time to curl up on the couch with our favorite blankets, grab a glass of wine and some snacks, and dive into a feel-good movie marathon. If Women's recent dive into the perfect Paul Campbell Hallmark movies for a cozy girls' night in proved anything, it's that the network's leading men can deliver just as much on-screen magic as Hallmark's leading ladies, who are simply stunning without makeup. And when it comes to that effortless charm that grounds every romance or cozy mystery setup, no one holds it down like Canadian actor Andrew Walker. 

Although the 47-year-old took home an ACTRA for Best Actor in 2008 for his role in "Steel Toes," his work on more than 30 Hallmark movies has solidified him as the network's leading man. Whether he's playing a sharp investigative reporter in "Wedding Planner Mystery," an overly responsible firefighter caring for a baby in "Three Wise Men and a Baby," or a charming fisherman in "Bottled With Love," Walker brings a natural charisma to every single role he plays. If any of those character descriptions pique your interest, or you're a longtime Hallmark fan and just need inspiration for a Hallmark marathon, we've got you covered; these are five Andrew Walker Hallmark movies for a cozy night in.

Start your cozy fall movie marathon with Sweet Autumn

There's no better way to start a cozy, autumnal movie marathon than with a film featuring golden foliage, crisp air, and cozy date nights by a fire pit. If that sounds perfect, "Sweet Autumn" delivers all of that and lots of Andrew Walker charm. Walker stars alongside Nikki DeLoach and plays Dex, a handsome maple tree farmer. When he unexpectedly inherits half of a beloved small town candy shop with a big city marketing executive, Maggie, the two must set aside their differences and team up during the town's annual fall festival to unravel a sweet scavenger hunt of letters left behind by Maggie's late aunt.

More than 1.9k IMDb users rated the 2020 Hallmark film, and nearly 30% awarded it an 8/10 stars or higher. Despite recognizing a familiar Hallmark trope, one reviewer gave the movie a glowing 9-star rating, writing, "Andrew Walker and Nikki DeLoach were adorable together, they are such marvelous actors." They added that, while the plot was all too familiar, what 'might have been a been there, done that film captured my interest from the start and provided me the opportunity to enjoy the character and intriguing situations.' There's really not much more you could ask from a Hallmark movie than great chemistry, cozy seasonal charm, and a story that keeps you hooked even if you know how it's going to end.

Three Wise Men and a Baby is the ultimate festive holiday watch

A holiday-themed movie when it's cold out is almost non-negotiable, and Hallmark's 2022 hit, "Three Wise Men and a Baby" delivers festive cheer, an adorable baby boy, and three clueless brothers just trying to figure out how to take care of him during the holidays. Andrew Walker stars alongside Paul Campbell and Tyler Hynes, whose movies are also perfect for a cozy girls' night in. Of course, they're the three brothers, with Walker playing Luke — an overly responsible firefighter whose life is completely upended when a baby is left at his station right before Christmas.

The brotherly chaos is a fun change for a network like Hallmark, where traditional romance usually takes center stage; This is a cute movie with plenty of comedic elements. While you might be thinking a baby being abandoned is a little heavy for a feel-good Hallmark watch, the film handles the setup in a way that's both lighthearted and warm. 

This might be one of Walker's most popular and highly rated Hallmark films, as the movie maintains a 7.5-star average rating on IMDb from more than 4,500 users. A reviewer who gave the movie a 9-star rating referred to the three men as "the Holy Trinity of Hallmark's leading men," calling the movie "a brilliant film."

Bottled with Love is the perfect rom-com to add to the mix

"Bottled with Love" is an Andrew Walker rom-com at its absolute best, and it all starts with a bottled letter tossed into the ocean. So, you can imagine just how romantic this movie gets. Walker plays Nick, a fisherman who ends up finding the bottle with a message inside, written by corporate executive Abbey, played by Bethany Joy Lenz, after a disappointing date. Touched by the honesty, Nick reaches out using the anonymous email address she left inside, and of course, it sparks a cute penpal situation between two complete strangers.

That's not even the best part; Nick turns out to be someone who is much closer to Abbey than she thinks. The chemistry between Walker and Lenz makes every scene shine, and Walker is undeniably charming. The way he seamlessly transforms from a fisherman into a polished, suit-wearing executive is pure magic, and the cute dates they go on throughout the movie will have you swooning from start to finish.

This is another one of Walker's highly rated Hallmark movies with a 7.1-star average rating from more than 3,000 reviewers on IMDb. The review with the most comments gave the film a 9-star rating, writing, "I really enjoyed this movie! I'm a fan of Andrew Walker. I think he has some of the best acting chops of the Hallmark leading men ... I could watch this again!" 

Andrew Walker plays a completely new character in Curious Caterer: Dying for Chocolate

Longtime fans of the Hallmark channel know that the network excels in cozy mysteries as much as they do in heartwarming seasonal romance movies, and the "Curious Caterer" series, which stars Andrew Walker and Nikki DeLoach is proof of that. Go ahead and add the very first movie of this series, "Curious Caterer: Dying for Chocolate" to your marathon watchlist. The best part about this series is that, if you and your gals love the first one, there are four more to watch, and another one that's in the works. 

Walker isn't your typical small-town sweetheart in this series as he plays Detective Tom Schulz, a by-the-book cop who favors the facts over intuition and gut feelings. Starring opposite to him, DeLoach plays Goldy Berry, the curious caterer that stumbles into the middle of a high-stakes murder investigation when her catering gig ends up with a dead body.

An adaptation of the book series by Diane Mott Davidson, many fans of the original series note that, while Hallmark took some creative liberties to give the story signature Hallmark warmth, the film still captures the core spirit of the books. An 8-star reviewer hoped for more of the series after watching the first installment, and also wrote, "I've read all the Diane Mott Davidson books. If you're expecting a duplicate of the books, you'll be disappointed. But, the movie was good on its own."

It's not a Hallmark movie marathon without The Reluctant Royal

If you're a Hallmark fan, you'll know how much the network loves a good royal romance, but "The Reluctant Royal" is a fresh, comedic spin on the classic trope of a prince falling in love with an everyday American girl. Instead of a posh royal suitor, Andrew Walker stars as Johnny Payne, who's from South Philly but ends up discovering that his estranged father is actually a European duke. 

One day he's working at an auto shop, the next he's next in line for a title he never asked for. Johnny does his best to fit into his new role, and Prudence Thorp, played by Emilie de Ravin, is given what seems like an impossible task: turning a mechanic into proper royalty. Of course, sparks will fly, and viewers will be treated to an absolute feast of misfit newbie comedy and lots of romance. 

Fans loved this movie for being so typically Hallmark while also bringing a fresh and fun take to a beloved network trope. An IMDb user gave the movie eight stars, writing, "With all the terrible news in the real world, it's time to just give yourself a bit of time to enjoy a happy, make believe story. This movie does that." They also praised Andrew Walker for just being himself ... effortlessly charming, warm, and endlessly likable.

How we came up with this list

Whenever we think of a cozy girls' night in, there is nothing better than having options when it comes to what to watch. A lineup that includes a cozy mystery, a festive holiday flick, a too-good-to-be-true love story, or a regal fairytale is the perfect, well-rounded game plan for the ultimate movie marathon dedicated to Hallmark and Andrew Walker.

Of course, we still took ratings into consideration to ensure our choices hit that sweet spot of high quality and audience appeal. While we weren't strict about exact numerical ratings, we made sure every single one of the films listed holds a strong, solid audience rating that reflects genuine fan devotion. We're lucky that Walker has more than 30 Hallmark movies under his belt, giving us so many options to choose from.
