Hallmark Christmas Movie formula -small town -snow -single parent -local store at risk of closing -town comes together for a Christmas miracle -all white people
Sorry for trying to take the internet so serious. I need to brush up on my SJW obviously. Next on: Santa's Out For Christmas, only on Hallmark
its amazing how early they started playing this stuff luckily the wife aint so good at setting the dvr. but i will be damned if she doesn't default to this channel on a weekend of working around the house
Watched a Christmas melody this morning followed by a rose for Christmas. Lacy chambert is always in these movies.
Same with Candace Cameron.. In fact I saw a commercial tonight for one coming up in which she plays twins. It's like they're self aware.
I'm always somewhat happy when the fiancé puts on Merry Matrimony bc the main actress is Jessica Lowndes the rest of that movie is fucking atrocious though
Lead male character working a menial job around town has a law degree/medical license but would rather chop wood in small town because money isn't everything. Lead female character is married to her work and never has time for Christmas. She hates his attitude when they meet, but they unexpectedly fall in love. I've seen way too many of these fucking things.
I have already watched at least 10 Hallmark Christmas movies this year and will continue to do so until the New Year. Don't @ me you fucking scrooges.
You left out: - big misunderstanding between the love interests that puts the relationship and storyline at risk with fifteen minutes left in show - misunderstanding resolution with 2 minutes left followed by kiss
Also, person from big city/big business forced to go to small town and or home town and falls then realizes how great the town is.
My wife was in the kitchen last night and when I turned on the TV in the living room it was naturally on Hallmark Channel. Before I could change the channel, there was maybe 5 seconds of dialogue and my wife yells "Oh, is that Enchanted Christmas?". I check the guide and sure as shit it is.
This the thread whew someone points out the fa la la la lifetime movies Santa baby, and the sequel, Santa baby 2, are the best things Jenny McCarthy has done since playboy?
Left out out of town advertising exec - or - former local person who’s become a successful big shot in the big city that initially hates the small town / holiday / protagonist (ie local bakery owner that literally makes the best Christmas cupcakes ever) but learns to fall in love with it all by the end of the movie.
I'll watch anything wifh Taylor Cole - goddess. Even a movie where she gives up a career in law to pursue her true passion - ice sculpting.
The wife is already back on it.. Tonight on Hallmark: Julie left her small mountain town to make it big in marketing in the city. Despite a big due date at work approaching she manages to make it home to her town with a perfectly intact main street in time to run her father's vet clinic while he recovers from a fall. Julie's plans to return home on Christmas Eve are ruined when the town gets their first snow all season, closing the road to the airport. But when Julie arrives at the annual Winter Wonderland Festival she runs into her widowed ex-boyfriend and his daughter who instantly creates a bond with Julie and the sparks fly. Also, the big fat guy with a white beard in the town that runs the gas station is Santa.
I'm smiling at the many of you who know every trope and cliche, and the roster of actors backward and forward because "the wife had that channel on goddam it".
Haha....I never saw this thread before. My wife does not watch anything else besides Hallmark at this time of the year. I am told to leave the room within 5-10 minutes of watching because of how sarcastic I am and the easy prediction of the plot.
In my defense, last year we lived in an apartment so really only had the one TV in the living room. Now that we bought a house I've been retreating to my man cave and playing Red Dead.
There is already a dinner date scheduled with another couple so we can all watch, a Christmas prince wedding. I give it 10 min before the other male and I are kicked out of the room for being ass holes.
My dad, brother, and I have an annual Christmas Eve tradition of getting plastered, finding the worst Christmas movies on tv, and going MST3K on them. Hallmark never lets us down. You guys are doing it all wrong.
My fiancée and her twin sister are consumed by these movies, but Christmas is definitely the worst time of year for their addiction. Thanks for giving me a safe space to express myself, OP.
Good Morning America plugged some comedic podcast that covers Hallmark Christmas movies this week. I couldn't hear the name of the pod itself, but it sounds like it could be good.
Can't recommend A Christmas Belle on Netflix (starring Haley Duff) enough. Hilariously bad. Rough rip-off of Beauty and the Beast except instead of being a beast, the guy is just an asshole (and then he's not).
Mama Wu records all the Hallmark holiday movies “I just love when they have happy endings”, so precious
