Hallmark Is Launching a Rosé Seltzer for Us to Sip During the Christmas in July Marathon
Updated: May 24, 2021
Pour a glass of Hallmark rosé before Mingle All the Way.
There may not be any snow on the ground, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t spread Christmas cheer. I’m all for sunshine and hanging out with family on a beautiful day. But the truth is…nothing beats a Hallmark marathon with some freshly baked cookies and hot cocoa.
Spending the evening with the Hallmark Channel already sounds perfect, but it can be made that much better with drinks and delicious snacks. It’s time to celebrate cheesy rom-coms with a glass of Cheers rosé!
Say “Cheers” for the New Rosé Seltzer
Hallmark Channel’s new rosé seltzer is super light and refreshing, with the perfect amount of champagne-style bubbles. As for the flavor? It’s delicious! This rosé seltzer has a blend of citrus and strawberry notes, so it’s as sippable as can be. Cheers comes in a 4-pack of cans, and let’s face it, cans are way more convenient than bottles. We’ll be taking these single-serve cans everywhere this summer, from the couch to the backyard and the beach.
Pair this wine-based seltzer with a bowl of popcorn and enjoy all summer! Don’t forget to mark the calendar with dates for Hallmark’s Christmas movie marathons.
What Are the Other Hallmark Wines?
Hallmark also makes a Jingle cabernet sauvignon, with a gorgeous ruby color and notes of dark chocolate, cherry and holiday spices, and a Joy sauvignon blanc, with notes of tropical fruits, white peach and ripe pineapple. Both are available year-round for celebrating Christmas in July or sipping in December. (I bet we could all use a glass of Joy right about now.)
Plus, there’s a fruit-forward Love Red Blend with smooth notes of blackberries, plum and fresh blueberries and a refreshing Blush Rosé with notes of strawberry and fresh white peach. Now you can officially find the perfect pairing for any Hallmark Channel movie!
Where to Buy Hallmark Wine
Hallmark Channel’s new rosé seltzer will be ready to grab in 4-packs of 250ml cans soon! You’ll be able to find it at select retailers throughout the U.S., or you can order to stock your fridge once it launches on the Hallmark website. For now, you can reserve your spot in line for guaranteed preorder and receive a sweet 10% off coupon.
The bottles of Hallmark wine are available in 2-packs, 4-packs, 6-packs OR 12-packs so you can choose the option that’s best for you. (Personally, I will be ordering the case of 12.)
