Thank you for keeping us up to date on the Christmas TV schedule! I can hardly wait for them to start.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any suggestions for Christmas themed movies from the 1950's & 60's? Something Doris Day like, lighthearted and entertaining.
I absolutely love your Question... because I, too, love a good Doris Day film! I would suggest, of course, On Moonlight Bay... for a Wonderful Doris film, with Christmas!
DeleteAnd, as for other Christmas films, with a Lighthearted "Doris Day" Movie feel, I would suggest: Meet Me in St. Louis, Bachelor Mother, Christmas in Connecticut, Holiday Inn, White Christmas, and It Happened on 5th Avenue.
Hope that helps, a little!
Would love to know your suggestions, Miss Jane, and others who read this comment...
do you know the name of a christmas movie of a single/divorced mom of 2. The lived at a motel, she worked in a café/restaurant and the 2 kids drew a Christmas tree on the wall in their motel room and used bottle caps and glued them on the wall for ornaments. Later the dad tries to come back and take one of the kids, then dumps the child back at the motel. The little town pools together and helps the mom and 2 kids to get a home of their own. A great movie but can't remember the name of it to find it. Please email me at tiffanysandykaye@gmail.com if you know the movie. Thank you
DeleteI don't know if anyone answered your question yet, but the movie is titled "A Christmas Wish" with Kristy Swanson playing the Mom. It's one of my favorites!
DeleteSomehow I can't seem to always make it when they play on TV... Good thing for PVRs and Video on Demand LOL
DeleteI Would like to see if A Christmas Romance is anywhere on tv to watch or buy, love that movie
ReplyDeleteI love that movie! A Christmas Romance with Gregory Harrison and Olivia Newton John has always been a favorite! And, YES, it is available on DVD!
DeleteHere are some other Christmas movies on Lifetime this year.

ReplyDeleteThank you for this warm and cheerful blog.
I'm glad I stumbled upon it.
With everything going on in the world, I already "need a little Christmas."
I also recently stumbled upon a great website that plays Christmas Music (free) 24/7.
www.foreverchristmasradio.com
(It's not my website; I just enjoy it so much that I wanted to share it.)
I'm so glad you found my blog, too! Welcome and thank you for the sweet message! I'm delighted to share the Christmas Cheer!!! It is, as you said, a wonderful escape from "everything going on in the world"!
DeleteI'll have to check out that radio station! Sounds Amazing!
Merry Christmas to You!!!
I'm looking for a movie I seen last year where a lady's car breaks down or runs out of gas. Not sure. Anyway, she is mistaken for someone's niece I believe and allowed to move in to a really nice house. And a sheriff keeps running into her and they begin to fall for each other. Please help. It was an excellent movie.
ReplyDeleteThe movie you are referring to is "A Season for Miracles"! It is one of my all time favorites. It is being played this year on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!
DeleteIt is also available on DVD:
click here for DVD on Amazon
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI am looking for similar Food themed Hallmark movies like: Recipe for Love, Just Desserts, A Taste of romance, Uncorked.
Anybody have any other movie titles?
Wayne
Great Question, Wayne. I thought of a few...
DeleteHallmark Movies: A Chance of Romance, Cookie Cutter Christmas, and Operation Cupcake.
UPtv Movies: Apple Mortgage Cake and Mayor Cupcake.
You might find some more in the non-Holiday Movie list:
http://itsawonderfulmovie.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-movies-on-tv.html
Hope that helps!
Hi.
DeleteThank you so much. I appreciate it. I loved those movies. I would recommend them to anybody and the other 2 non food themed movies which were great is Christmas Belle and Second Chances.
The Food themed movies are so great to watch.
Greetings from South Africa
Wayne
The Sweeter Side of Life is another one.
ReplyDeleteI am trying hard to find the title of a movie I fell in love with years ago, it is about a woman and a little girl that get caught stealing and have to be stuck with a cop over Christmas. I can't even remember who plays in it.
ReplyDeleteCheck out holiday in handcuffs😊 it is a 2007 movie with Melissa Joan hart...markie post ...mario Lopez.
DeleteMandy, it sounds like you are looking for the movie, "On the Second Day of Christmas". It's a Lifetime movie. They rarely play it anymore, however it is available on DVD:
DeleteDVD: On the Second Day of Christmas with Bonus MP3s for Christmas
Why did Hallmark ch not show the Christmas card this year?It was listed to be shown several times but never was. Very disappointed,I guess you can't trust anyone. Still waiting<<<<<<
ReplyDeleteThe Sweeter Side of Life is another one.
ReplyDeleteI have seen many of the past movies listed here and now have the plan of watching the 2015 films, thanks to this list. I have watched last 2014 Christmas the One Christmas Eve (Hallmark Hall of Fame) and Debbie Macomber’s Mr. Miracle. My family love it especially my 4 years old kid.
ReplyDeleteION will be airing 5 new Christmas Movies (via: http://www.ionmedianetworks.com/press/ion-television-invites-viewers-to-share-the-joy?id=324
ReplyDelete(A Prince For Christmas-11/29/15; Merry Kissmas-12/05/15; How Sarah Got Her Wings-12/06/15; A Christmas Truce-12/12/15; and A Christmas Reunion-12/13/15).
Thank you for keeping us updated love Christmas Movies!! Why is "I Hope You Dance, the Power and Spirit of Song" - a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Film scheduled for November 26th not on the list?
ReplyDeleteFrom my understanding, "I Hope You Dance, the Power and Spirit of Song" is more of a documentary type special with inspirational stories weaved in. It is not a Christmas movie.
DeleteHallmark also does NOT have this special included with their new Christmas movies list.
Angel of Christmas
ReplyDeleteNorth Pole: Open for Christmas
Just in Time for Christmas
There are three Christmas movies that I have searched for every year since 2007, one is with Naomi Judd & Gerold McRammey & the one with John Denver I think it is called The Christmas Gift also the one with with Randy Travis & Rue McCallahan They were on lifetime.
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful movies. I have seen The Christmas Gift with John Denver this year! It is on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
DeleteSee times airing here:
http://www.hallmarkmoviesandmysteries.com/the-christmas-gift-1986
The Christmas Gift is available on DVD, click here!
The other ones you mentioned are good, too!
The movie with Naomi Judd & Gerald McRaney is called "A Song for the Season". It is available on DVD, click here!

Hope you can get some of these movies on DVD, Barb, to add to your collection! I have them all on DVD, too - and I cherish them all still!
The Naomi Judd movie is AKA A Holiday Romance!!
ReplyDeleteHi looking for the name of a film please, its about a rich snob and she uses her assistant to decorate her bf home for christmas only the assistant and adam fall in love and they try figgy pudding and go on a horse a cart ride - the design for the house is based on 3 trees past, present, future.
ReplyDeleteAlso another one where a lady gets fired and applies for a new job but ends up being the childrens nanny and the husband comes home at christmas with a puppy for the kids
Thanks in advane
Hello Victoria! I'll be glad to try to answer your movie questions!
DeleteThe first movie sounds like the ION Christmas movie A Christmas Kiss. It's listed on my site, here:
http://itsawonderfulmovie.blogspot.com/2011/11/christmas-kiss-ion-television-christmas.html
The second one sounds like A Nanny for Christmas. It aired on Lifetime and I have it listed here:

Hope this answers your movie questions!!!
Hi l am looking for a beautiful film of a woman working for a publishing company. She has been badly hurt when her inner child comes into here life to rescue her. She fills in love with a writer who's book is about his aunt who has a 3rd eye . Hope this makes sense
ReplyDeleteThannkyou
Your description makes perfect sense to me - because I know the very Christmas Movie you are describing... it's "If You Believe" with Ally Walker (Profiler), Tom Amandes (Everwood), and Hayden Panettiere (Nashville). It's a fun story!
DeleteI found it in a 2 -pack DVD at Amazon, Click Here for all the details!
Hope this info is what you were seeking! :)
Thank you for letting me know so quickly. I really love this film and so very grateful for your help.
ReplyDeleteHave a very merry christmas
That movie is called If You Believe! Great movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm Looking for the name of the Christmas movie we saw on Hallmark starring Debbie Reynolds and Neil Patrick Harris. Debbie was Neil's Grandmother. Neil's parents were killed in a car accident and when his Grandfather passed, Neil came to discover his parents were killed by an elderly woman in a Nursing Home. His Grandfather bought a Christmas tree for the Nursing Home every year and went to visit the
ReplyDeleteLady in the Nursing Home. The Grandmother finally forgave the Lady in the Nursing Home after she learned who it was that killed her son.
I know just the movie you are talking about... that movie is "The Christmas Wish". It is an interesting suspenseful story - the Grandson is trying to discover the identity of a woman named Lillian.
DeleteIt is actually available on DVD at Amazon. here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C3R87E/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004C3R87E&linkCode=as2&tag=itsawonchr-20&linkId=MF5ZGMTT24FY6NYY
Hope you can get it, Judy! Enjoy!!!!
The Christmas Wish from 1998. It is on the Lifetime channel on 12/9/15 at 4:00 pm est.
DeleteWe are obsessed with finding the name of a Christmas movie about a woman who's car gets carjacked with the kids in it, there's an accident & they die (drown when car goes in water). She gets another chance to redo decisions that led to this. We can't remember if it is Hallmark or Lifetime or another but it is set at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteCould that possibly be "One Magic Christmas"? The Hallmark Channel used to play it a few years back. Fortunately, it is available on DVD at Amazon. Perhaps you might recognize some of the actors on the DVD cover. Click here to see DVD!
DeleteI hope this helps! Blessings to you & yours... Merry Christmas!!!
You're just a little off on the children's fate, but this sounds like a Disney release from the 1980's called "One Magic Christmas" with Mary Steenburgen. It is available, so hope you get to see it soon.
DeleteI can't remember the plot very well but I believe that there are two or three movies about this girl whose parents are dead(?). The second movie has her staying with a rich woman whose funds are running low and she wants her to marry rich or something. The woman end up liking this bad boy character who takes her to a bar for the first time. She ends up seeing her first crush/ love and he's worried about her. Later she ends up finding out that the bad boy guy is not loyal and she falls in love with the guy (from the first movie) who was her first crush. Its either during a victorian era setting or colonial america. It might have aired around 2008???
ReplyDeleteI'm not positive, but I think you are looking for An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving and An Old Fashioned Christmas.
Deletehttp://m.imdb.com/title/tt1217590/
http://m.imdb.com/title/tt1785287/
That must be it!!! That would absolutely be my guess, too, Cathie! They are definitely Victorian era. Personally, I am more fond of the first movie, than the second, but I usually love period type films.
DeleteI also have them both featured on my site, here:
http://itsawonderfulmovie.blogspot.com/2009/09/old-fashioned-thanksgiving.html
http://itsawonderfulmovie.blogspot.com/2010/04/old-fashioned-christmas-hallmark.html
Oh, I Hope Cathie has answered your question, Anonymous. A very Merry Christmas to you both!!! :)
Thank you so much for the collection of movies to watch for christmas
ReplyDeleteI am tickled pink that I've found this blogspot with other people who love Christmas and Christmas movies - I watch anything Christmas, even in July or whenever I feel life is overwhelming me and I need to get away into fantasyland. Warm memories of Christmases past return and the world fades for an hour or two (sometimes 4) and I return to the present, knowing I can run away again back to happier,kinder times any time I want. So much dark stuff on TV that doesn't interest us. Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great article. I really appreciate the hard work you put in it. Thanks a lot for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping this list and publishing it. Thanks mate.
ReplyDeleteCute Romantic Christmas Wishes
ReplyDeleteLast 20th March (2016) there was Karen Kingsbury's The Bridge: Part 2, aired on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, yet it is not listed up here. Maybe you can update the list accordingly ?
ReplyDeleteI was at Wal-Mart today & they have The Bridge complete story on dvd for sale. I can't wait to see what other new Christmas movies will be available this year.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait! I think it's a smart move to start with Lacey's movie. Last summer, her movie was the one they used as the one new movie in their Christmas in July celebration and it did well in the ratings.
ReplyDeleteIn past years, when Hallmark has started airing their new movies in early November, the first few movies almost felt like throwaways sometimes. It could be because it's so early and many people are not going to watch a Christmas movie a week after Halloween. But by starting their season with a big name like Lacey Chabert, and then following it one week later with Lori Loughlin, and then one week after that you have Danica McKellar, it seems obvious that Hallmark is trying to grab viewers early and keep them watching all season long and not just having people watch between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
They're starting the Countdown with "A Perfect Christmas" and "Family for Christmas" on the first Saturday and Sunday night, respectively -- unless the schedule changes and something else new gets added in. The way Hallmark has it set up now, they have got 2 "July sneak preview movies" (from 2015 and 2016) lined up for that first weekend of the Countdown (10/29 and 10/30), but if something new needs to be added into the Countdown they can easily bump "Family for Christmas" from the 10/30 slot.
Delete"A Perfect Christmas" only sneak previewed in July. It was not an official premiere. It aired only once, deliberately intended to officially premiere during the Countdown. There are a LOT of people who missed seeing "A Perfect Christmas" for various reasons, and so the official premiere is for them. It is still a "new" movie, by TV standards. It's just not 100% new because a lot of us watched it in July. Hallmark was always going to give it an official weekend slot to premiere during the Countdown -- just as they did with "Family for Christmas" last year in December -- but it was just a matter of where in the line-up it would go.
I actually think that it's a really bad programming decision to start off a 2-month Countdown, right out of the gate, with "A Perfect Christmas" -- even though it is still considered a new movie. The new Lacey Chabert movie is an entire, full week later -- not just a couple of days later -- which makes a big difference in the TV world.
The problem is that many, many people already complain about Hallmark starting the Countdown to Christmas too early. People are already in an uproar because they are "forgetting" Halloween. Starting even one week later could have quieted the mobs of angry viewers just a tiny bit.
IF Hallmark is going to be bold enough to actually start a Countdown to Christmas before 10/31, and jump into 1500+ hours of all day/all night holiday programming, they should start off with a bang -- as they always do, every year -- with a brand new/never-before-seen-by-anyone movie on that first weekend.
What this programming choice is going to lead to is grumpy viewers (who are already ticked off about losing The Golden Girls and Lucy for 2 months) and Halloween fans (who are angry about Hallmark skipping that holiday) complaining to Hallmark about starting out a 2-month Countdown without a new movie. They will say, "I already saw that movie in July... why are you starting before Halloween if you are not going to premiere a new movie? You show the same movies over and over, and you can't even show a new movie now?"
With all of the new movies Hallmark has to premiere, it would be very easy to just stick a totally new one onto that first Saturday or Sunday, no matter which one it is.
And I do think that whether or not the first few new movies were throwaways is subjective. I was not a fan of "One Starry Christmas," but many people LOVE that movie. That one premiered at the beginning of the Countdown in 2014. "'Tis the Season for Love," while not being a favorite of mine, stars Sarah Lancaster -- one of Hallmark's favorite "family" members. They didn't start the Countdown last year thinking that her movie was a throwaway. They started with her movie because they thought Sarah would bring in the viewers with that specific movie.
I hope the schedule changes and Hallmark puts a brand new movie on the actual starting weekend of the Countdown, not a movie that is "sort of new"! Lol.
Quite honestly, I don't care what movie they start with for the Christmas Countdown, as long as it starts! 😍 As for Halloween, they will be showing fall movies for 6 weeks prior to the countdown to Christmas movies. I'm not sure what they are yet, as I haven't looked, sorry NET, but they've been advertising the fall/autumn movies.
ReplyDeleteThey are showing 4 new Fall Harvest movies on the main channel, not 6 -- over 4 Saturdays in October. One of those new ones is connected to a series (which a lot of people don't watch, including myself and Net!).
DeleteMaybe, some of those 'unknown' movies like 'Curveball Christmas' will end up at Lifetime? The only movie listed for them is going straight to DVD as of Nov 1st.

Unless Hallmark just decided to drop "A Curveball Christmas" when it was already in development for the network, and Lifetime or another network jumped in at the right time and picked it up, I don't think it will go to another network this year.
DeleteThe titles that end up on other channels instead of Hallmark tend to be the ones that Hallmark/Crown never announced. For example, "A Snow Capped Christmas" was never announced by Hallmark or Crown itself. It was mentioned by other sources that it was going to Hallmark, but not by Hallmark itself.
That's the key -- it doesn't matter who says it is a Hallmark movie while it's being made or even after it has wrapped up. If Hallmark/Crown does not step up and announce the movie as part if its line-up, then the movie could end up anywhere, on any network.
But... in the case of Curveball Christmas, I believe that Hallmark/Crown actually named that title in its own press releases (and passed the info on to other outlets such as The Futon Critic). They claimed it, and it was in development specifically for Hallmark.
If CC doesn't end up airing this year, then it is likely because it got delayed in development (which could happen for a variety of reasons). The same thing would apply to other movies that may or may not appear in this year's Hallmark Countdown to Christmas line-up, such as the Jaime Pressly movie, the Brooke Shields movie, etc. Those were specifically announced by Hallmark/Crown as being Hallmark movies, so they shouldn't end up on another network -- especially not this year -- but they may have gotten stuck in development and delayed until 2017.
Hi I'm looking for a movie I watched a few years back it was about a little girl who saves a business man who she believes is santa he gives her his business card to ask for something as a thank you and she uses it to get her friends mum a party invite to stop her friends parents fighting, there is no money for Christmas and she goes to get chocolate pieces at a factory for the stockings, getting her father a job in the process and at the end of the film her little brother gets the trike he wanted sitting on the porch.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I come up with is Willa Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, But I don't know if that's right or not, as I've never seen the movie. If this isn't the movie, do you have any idea what year it's supposed to be in the movie?
DeleteThe only thing I'm coming up with is Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory. I've never seen the movie, so I don't know if it is or not. If it's not, do you know the time frame of the movie? Was it modern day or in the past? And if it's in the past, how far back? Depression era? 1800's?
ReplyDeleteI watched it about 5 yrs back its a colour film though I couldn't even guess how far back it's set, in the movie only the best friends family who are well off own a car and have a house phone and the mother has to trial hire a singer sowing machine on a 28 day hire so she can adjust clothes and make new 1s, all the poor kids in school also get a jumper for xmas. Thank you for replying
DeleteI believe that you saw Booky and the Secret Santa. Megan Follows, of Anne of Green Gables fame, plays the mother.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much it was driving me nuts trying to get the name
DeleteYou are quite welcome!!
DeleteThank you SO much for this awesome list! And for all the work you put into this whole site! It's such an amazing resource for anyone who loves Hallmark movies, Christmas movies, and other family-friendly movies as much as I do. I have been relying on your site to keep informed about Christmas movies for a few years now, but somehow have never commented. I thought it was high time I remedied that! I just wanted you to know how much I love and appreciate your blog. Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHello Amy Lama! It's wonderful to hear from you! I'm thrilled and warmly touched you have been enjoying my site for several years now, but I am even more excited to receive your sweet, thoughtful comment! Thank YOU so much, Amy!!! It truly means so much to me!!!
DeleteI am so glad you have been able to enjoy so many wonderful new Christmas movies over the years! I hope you feel welcome to comment whenever you like now on It's a Wonderful Movie!
Blessings to You & Happy Thanksgiving, Our New Movie Friend!!! Net :)
Hi can you help. It is about a man who lives with his dad and some kind of Christmas competition sponsored by where he works. Because he lives in the neighborhood they want him to win so they get a woman to help him who is in a higher position then him. All of the lights go out and think his dad comes out playing a saxophone
ReplyDeleteYes, I can help! That movie you are talking about is "Christmas on Chestnut Street." It's a Lifetime Christmas movie from 2006.
DeleteI love the ending at the Christmas light display! Actually, the father isn't the one who plays the saxophone. It's the male lead Lou Boyd, portrayed by Robert Moloney. He also just played Kristin Davis' brother in the new Hallmark Hall of Fame movie "A Heavenly Christmas."
Hopefully this will help... I just discovered you can see "Christmas on Chestnut Street" on Amazon's web-site!
Thank you for asking about this sweet little movie!
Thank you so much. Wow can not believe it is that old and came on lifetime. Thought for sure it was a hallmark how good it was. I know what I will be watching tonight when little one goes to bed. Thanks and Merry Christmas
DeleteI love that movie "Christmas on Chestnut St.". Wish they would put it on dvd. It costs $5. on amazon to watch it. I'd like to watch it more than once, but don't want to keep paying for it. Lifetime please put it on dvd. Haven't seen a listing for it on tv this year. RG
ReplyDeleteI am looking for the Hallmark Christmas movies about a little girl that has cancer and her Dad is having all the holidays early in case she doesn't live till Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie November Christmas to me. It is a very inspiring story!
DeleteIf you click on the title above - you will see more pictures and details of this movie - and hopefully it's the one you are seeking!!!
Blessings!!! Net
The first trailer for the star has been released ...
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVgQuZf5o1M&feature=youtu.be
Yes, I saw that, too. Looks kinda cute - with the story of the nativity told from the perspective of the animals. The bird shaking his... well, tail feathers may be a bit much, but kids will probably like it.

Hello Jennifer - Thank you! Yes, I saw this news! I've been in contact with UP and they informed me the details on their new movies would be released early this week! These movies all sound so good, don't they? - hope we end UP loving many of them this year!
DeleteI created a post today with these new UP Christmas movies here: http://itsawonderfulmovie.blogspot.com/2017/10/ups-we-get-christmas-movies-holiday-programming-schedule-2017.html
Thank you for making sure I saw this! I appreciate it so much!
Blessings! Net :)
Tv one will be premiering two movies this year. The first is called Miss Me This Christmas and premieres Sunday December 3rd at 7/6 central and the second movie is You Can't Fight Christmas and premieres Sunday December 10th at 7/6 central.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, thank you for sharing these two new Christmas movies from TV One! I'm not too familiar with that channel, so I appreciate it! I added both the premiere times to the Christmas schedule.
DeleteDoes anyone know when or if the 2016 Hallmark movie "Hearts of Christmas" will be released on DVD?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like hallmark and hallmark movies and mysteries have switched back the December 17th movies that will be premiering. Hallmark now lists christmas connection at 8:00 and apparently romance at reindeer lodge is scheduled now at 9:00 pm on hallmark movies and mysteries. I did find another listing though for that on the 19th at 10:00 pm on hallmark channel.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jennifer, for sharing this change! I just updated this above and in the schedule!
DeleteI so appreciate you discovering this and letting all of us know!
Thanks so much! Blessings & Merry Christmas!!! Net
Thank you so much, Jennifer, for sharing this change! I just updated the titles above and in the schedule!
DeleteI so appreciate you discovering this and letting all of us know!
Again, thanks so much! Blessings & Merry Christmas!!! Net
Yes and it looks like the 13th movie on HMM will be Rocky Mountain Christmas and it is showing it is on Fri Dec 22 at 9 pm. Maybe this is when they will say they have a "Bonus" movie. I always laugh when I hear them say one of the 12 most wonderful movies, I always wonder if the 13th movie isn't the MOST wonderful, just wonderful haha
ReplyDeleteI noticed that too. Hallmark movies and mysteries still lists it for December 22nd at 9pm but my xfinity app isn't listing it now when it had before.
DeleteAccording to the TWC/Spectrum guide, Romance at Reindeer Lodge isn’t showing at all. It’s showing Christmas Connection on both channels. I recorded both after looking at HMM’s schedule on their website. It does state it’s at 9 pm.
ReplyDeleteJust saw the brief trailer, and your listing, for Marrying Father Christmas! So excited - I love these Father Christmas" movies! FYI - This movie is currently scheduled to premier on November 11 (although we know of course that is subject to change).
ReplyDeleteNet!! I think that Paul Campbell and Kimberly Sustad are co-starring in "A Godwink Christmas" (also known as "A Carousel Christmas"). Kimberly is definitely in it, according to SQuire's post on Twitter, and I am waiting for SQuire to announce Paul's involvement too. That's a good match!
ReplyDeleteI am over the moon that Hallmark has finally paired up these two for a movie together! I was already excited for "A Godwink Christmas," but this puts it over the top!
DeletePaul Campbell and Kimberly Sustad are such Hallmark fan favorites... so I know this movie is definitely going to be a must see!
I've added the Instagram pic that Paul shared from their first day on set together - *here*!
I don't typically share all the film set shots because that can get overwhelming with the amount of them out there, but in this case, I couldn't help myself! I'm pretty excited that Hallmark has casted Paul and Kimberley in this! I say it's a "Match Made in Heaven!"
Thank You so much for sharing!!! :)

Hey net, I read that TV one will be premiering a movie during the holiday season called coins for Christmas starring essence Atkins
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this title, Jennifer, I recall hearing recently that TV One would be making more Christmas movies this year.
DeleteBlessings, Net
Net -- I'm not sure if I was mistaken because I was only half-paying attention, but I think the title of the new Daniel Lissing-Brooke D'Orsay movie was changed to "Christmas in Love." Did you hear/see that as well? A preview was shown for it today, and I think I heard it at the very end of the promo.
ReplyDeleteOooh! That's interesting! Will definitely have to keep a look out for that commercial preview! It's no surprise, is it, when titles change? Seems to happen quite frequently!
DeleteThank you for sharing this update! Blessings, Net
It looks like uptv will be airing beverly hills Christmas 2 on November 3rd under the title this is our Christmas
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennifer, for sharing this news! Looks like UP has updated their schedule and placed this movie in. It is rather interesting they chose to premiere it at 7am/6c., (isn't it?) instead of during the prime time hours.
DeleteI so appreciate you alerting me to this change!
Blessings on your day! Net
Ion revealed the six all new movie premieres for the holiday season starting on November 25th, Christmas cupid's arrow, December 2nd a wedding for Christmas, December 8th rent-an-elf, December 9th a snow white Christmas, December 15th country Christmas album, and December 16th a Christmas in royal fashion
ReplyDeleteOh, Yes! I was sent the press release early this morning! I've added the ION Christmas movies to the schedule, and I shared the press release with photos from each movie. It's so much better to see each new movie with an image of who is in it, I think.
DeleteAnyway, here's the ION Christmas movie post:

No sleep til Christmas will premiere on freeform on December 10th
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennifer! I saw that. So appreciate your reminder to add the date above. I've decided not to add it to the schedule, though, after checking more into it. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be family-friendly.
DeleteBlessings, Net
thanks for the listing of christmas movies every year!
ReplyDeletebookmarked!!, I like your website!
ReplyDeleteHi I'm looking for a movie that I had seen last year however I don't remember the whole plot but it was a Christmas Movie and it wasn't very old. There was a woman who was driving and she swerved in order to avoid a deer. The car wouldn't start and she told the deer "I will sue you." Does anyone know the title?

ReplyDeleteNet - I saw a promo for the new Kristin Chenoweth-Scott Wolf Christmas movie last night, and apparently the title has changed yet again.
ReplyDeleteIt is now being called "Christmas Love Story"!! Did you see the promo too?
This latest title change (title #3) is interesting, because there is nothing in it that hints at music or singing (like the second title did), nor is there anything that references angels (as the first title did). I wonder if they will change it again, before November!
Thanks so much for the Christmas movie tip! (Didn't get to watch last night - was away for Mother's Day with family.) That is interesting they changed the name of the movie and it doesn't include any hint of music or angels in the title.
DeleteI like it better, myself, when a movie actually corresponds with a film - as it makes it easier to remember which one it is, especially when we have 40 of them to keep straight... and Christmas movie titles can be quite similar. A generic title like "Christmas Love Story" could, frankly, apply to every Hallmark Christmas movie. Let's hope they change it again! :)
Maybe it’s a play on Love Story, Without the serious sickness?
DeleteNet -- That's exactly what I thought when I saw the promo. Well, first I had to get over the surprise of seeing the promo for this movie in May, during a commercial break near the end of "Summer Villa"! lol If anything, I would have expected the promo to be shown on Fridays, when Christmas movies are shown, but not during a summer film.
DeleteSo after I got past the surprise of seeing this unexpected advertisement, I felt exactly as you did about the title. It's not that it's a bad title. It's fine.
BUT there is nothing in this new title to clue viewers in to which movie it might be, in a sea of many movies. There is nothing in the title to indicate that music is a big part of the story.
And, as you said, with 40 new movies to keep track of, even the most seasoned Hallmark movie viewers have trouble keeping up with all of the similar variations of Hallmark titles (we're not even counting the Christmas movie titles on other networks too!). Imagine the new viewers trying to keep up!
It helps to have at least one keyword in any title that can help to identify which story it is, so it is not confused with another movie.
Great post.
ReplyDeleteAwesome list, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteIn last year's movie "A Midnight Kiss"...who is actually singing at the beginning, when Mai's Father, Gary, is singing like he's Frank Sinatra?
ReplyDeleteIn these troubled times it's a long way to look forward but I've just come across a film called Christmas On The Vine starring Julianna Guill and Jon Cor listed for 12 December 2020!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that there will be a sequel to romance in the wilds that will be called "Christmas in the wilds". Greetings from France. I love your site.
ReplyDeleteHello to you in France! I'm so glad you enjoy visiting here at *It's a Wonderful Movie*. Yes, I have heard about "Christmas in the Wilds." I recently shared the DVD at the Amazon U.S. web-site here:
Deletehttps://itsawonderfulmovie.blogspot.com/2021/09/christmas-in-rockies-and-more-christmas-movie-dvd-releases.html
I'm not sure if it is coming out on DVD in France, or not. You'll have to check your local DVD stores. Hope you can find it.
UPtv is playing "Romance in the Wilds" here. Do you have that channel? I'm hoping they will also air "Christmas in the Wilds," but we'll see! :)
Thank you for your comment! Blessings on your day!
Hello Net. We don't have us channels in France and we can't find any DVD of all the movies. But most of the time we can see them on our channels. A few even earlier than you. For the others I check your website to see when the movies air and almost all the time I find them the next day to stream.THis is why I am so grateful to have found your site. God bless you.
DeleteOh my! Thank you for sharing that. I'm glad I can be of help to you - even across the ocean and many miles apart! :)
DeleteHope you'll be able to stream this movie, too, after it premieres in the US.
Hadn't heard of the two Uptv Christmas movies for 2021.
ReplyDeleteLiking the titles but no descirpions seem to be available for them yet - Florence
Hope the Jana Kramer/ Ryan McPartlin movie has a decent storyline.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a pairing which should have sizzling chenistry - Florence
Yes! I'm looking forward to that one, too, with Jana Kramer/ Ryan McPartlin!!! Plus, it looks like they recorded something recently with Kristian Bush (from Sugarland)! I'm wondering if they are going to use it in the movie or to promote it.
DeleteI didn't realise that Lifetime had announced that number of Christmas movies for 2021.
ReplyDeleteI always give any movie a fair viewing but I'm quaking in trepidtaion at Holiday In Santa Fe with Mario Lopez after last year's Feliz Navidad which was one of the worst movies - Christmas or otherwise - which I have ever seen - Florence
Florence, I try to share the movies as they are officially announced. Key word - try. It's hard not to share more.
DeleteAnyway... these are all of the Lifetime movies that were shown in their recent Christmas promo, so each one is officially theirs. Looking forward to an actual press release so we can get plot details!
Doesn't seem to be any Christmas movies with a military theme this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Hallmark will be doing a Time To Come Home movie.
I wonder if BYUtv will air any Christmas movies this year - they had none last year but 2 in 2019 - Florence
Looks like Hallmark is still filming its Christmas movies.
ReplyDeleteReported by theday.com that production has just started in New London, Connecticut on Sugar Plum Twist centred around ballet due to be shown on Hallmark in December.
Director is Eric Close - Florence
Net, the ION programme was announced a few days ago.
ReplyDeleteThere are 4 new Christmas movies.
Nov 21 Christmas Down Under - Justine Kacir & Paul O'Brien
Nov 28 A Christmas Witness - Arielle Kebbel & Colin Egglesfield
Dec 05 The Christmas Thief - Michelle Booth, Vivica A. Fox (Male lead unknown)
Dec 12 A New Lease On Christmas - Claire Coffee & George Stults
Looks as if the only outstanding announcement is BYUtv.
Maybe they won't have any but they do never seem to be more than 1 month ahead so it is possible - Florence
Florence, Thank you for sharing that info with us! I just saw the press release you mentioned and posted it here: https://itsawonderfulmovie.blogspot.com/2021/10/press-release-five-new-original-ion-christmas-movies.html. Looks like there could be some possibilities there. :)
DeleteSo appreciate you leaving this comment and sharing this news!
Is Hallmark still showing A Dickens Of A holiday on 1o December?
ReplyDeleteI can't see it listef in the Upcoming Movies list and I don' think any of the others would be it with a name change - thanks, Florence
Florence - Yes, "A Dickens of a Holiday!" is still airing December 10th. Thank you for mentioning this. I just updated the list.
DeleteThanks, Net.
ReplyDeleteYou just never know when they change dates and titles and it's so difficult to keep track.
With the additional movies from GAC, BYU and a movie every might from Lfetime, I'm feeling particularly overwhelmed this year.
It's usually February by the time we get through all the Christmas movies but I think it's going to take a lot longer this time - Florence
Apparently Will Kemp is currently filming a 2022 Christmas movie for Hallmark titled Christmas In London.
ReplyDeleteHis co-star is Reshma Shetty whom I haven't heard of before - Florence
2022 Lifetime Christmas movie -
ReplyDeleteChristmas On Mistletoe Lake starring Gennelle Williams and Corey Sevier -
Interior designer Reilly finds herself this Christmas in the magical town of Mistletoe Lake with, albeit with no place to stay. She accepts the offer of the charming local boat owner Ray to stay in his boat, helping him renovate the boat for the town’s infamous Christmas Harbor Festival. As Ray shows Reilly the timeless magic of his lake town, they can’t help but get caught up in that magic themselves. Determined to stop the sale and renovation of the town’s harbor, Reilly embarks on a journey to save the towns she fell in love with; realizing in the process that the town isn’t the only thing that stole her heart.
Florence
Florence, Great catch on the Reel One web-site! I wonder when Lifetime will officially announce this?
DeleteWe all knew about the Will Kemp Hallmark movie months before Hallmark announced it yesterday. I like the way GAC is doing it much better - by announcing as they are filming. That way the actors can freely share on social media with their followers.
Anyway, thank you for sharing with us! :)
The one slight caveat is that last year Reel One listed a couple of 2021 Christmas movies as having been picked up by Lifetime - they never appeared and as fae as I'm aware weren't aired anywhere.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see if nthey mmight appear this year - Florence
According to Reel One Entertainment another Christmas movie for Lifetime.
ReplyDeleteA Candlelit Christmas - Nazneen Contractor & Mylie Selkin -
Ellie, a renewed chemist and perfume maker, decides to go back home for Christmas, and help her dad with the candle-making business. Little does she know, however, that her father has the struggling, but charming, writer Logan staying with him, looking for inspiration for his writings. As Ellie shows Logan the candle-making art she’s inherited from her mother, he is fascinated by the tale that started her family’s rich heritage. What starts as Ellie’s attempts to learn more about her family, becomes a magical journey through time with Logan, making Ellie realize that fairy tales do indeed exist!
Very interesting considering that Nazneen has recently starred in a couple of movies for Hallmark - Florence
It was a long haul but we eventually finished viewing almost all of the Christmas movies which Net listed.
ReplyDeleteThe results are in and this is my ilst of the best and worst Christmas movies of 2021.
ION movies in particular were pretty awful, HMM led the way, UP was a mixed bag Hallmark had a few good ones but quite a few disappointments,the majority of Lifetime left a lot to be desired and GAC had winners and losers.
Overall there were only a few we didn't watch either they just didn't appeal or the Family-Friendly content was unacceptable:
Christmas Sail
Our Christmas Journey
Deck These Halls
Under The Christmas Tree
The three worst were:
Christmas In Montana - Melissa Joan Hart, Duane Henry and Jamey Sheridan - Lifetime
A heatwave in Montana in December (yes really!)
An annoying voice with a weird British accent from the male lead and unappealing characters made this one long bore.
Christmas Down Under - Justine Kecir and Paul O'Brien - ION
Weird, vulgar and loud - terrible
Nantucket Noel - Trevor Donovan & Sarah Power - Hallmark
A complete train wreck, right from the start when the daughter shop-lifted, the grandfather was one of the most obnoxious Hallmark characters ever, the chemistry was zero, this was one long snoozefest.
Did Trevor Donovan really read the script before agreeing to do this?
Why he ever got involved in this mess I'll never know.
My top 10.
Actually a top 9 since I couldn't decide between a few for #10.
Just missing out:
Gingerbread Miracle - Merritt Patterson & John Ecker - Hallmark
The Holiday Fix-Up - Jana Kramer & Ryan Mc Partland - Lifetime
It Takes A Christmas Village - Brooke Nevin & Corey Sevier - Lifetime
A Very Merry Bridesmaid - Emily Osment & Casey Deidrick - Hallmark
Florence
to be continued
Florence, I always love getting your take! I actually have 1 Christmas movie to go, and then I'll finally be through them all! I keep meaning to watch, but then something else pops up.
DeleteAgree with your thoughts on a lot of these, especially ION and Nantucket Noel, Christmas In Montana and others, too! There were many I didn't love this go-around.
Can't wait to hear your top #9! :)

The Great Christmas Switch - Sarah Lind, Dillon Casey, Jon McLaren - GAC
Although not universally liked, this for me was one of the GAC hits of the Season.
I never thought Sarah Lind was a great match for Jesse Metcalfe in the Martha Vineyard Mystery series but she came into her own in this.
The interaction between the two "different" actors was witty and each was able to show the other the right path to take - it was very well scripted.
I was especially pleased that the couple about to divorce realised they actually still loved one another although I found it hard to believe that the children would not have sensed that this was not their real mother.
An engrossing movie.
Review previously submitted
#8
Next Stop Christmas - Lyndsy Fonseca, Chandler Massey - Hallmark
It was quite hard to put this down at #8 for in so many ways it was THE outstanding movie - it had a bit of everything including Christmas cheer.
There was great acting by all involved, the plot was intriguing, highly amusing and the dialogue flowed smoothly unlike so many Hallmark movies nowadays - there were a number of subplots but they all interweaved.
There were parallels to Back To The Future and Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson were both in the cast although personally I remember Lea more for Jane Doe.
The lead actors were simply fantastic - their facial expressions were superb and told a story.
From the credits it was obvious who Angie would end up with and I was with Ben all the way - he was a salt-of-the-earth normal guy who had given his heart to Angie from his youth while she didn't seem to see him other than as a friend but they were so natural together and he wasn't a boring guy - he had a dry wit and natural charm.
The angst on his face almost had my heart breaking at times especially when Angie got engaged to her news reporter boyfriend and he congratulated her and told her he wished the best for her and would always be there for her.
Who couldn't have been moved when Angie finally received the note Ben had written for her years ago but had been misplaced?:
"You have my heart Angie, you always have.
No matter where life takes us that will never change".
Angie suddenly realises she loves Ben - I will be honest though and say that is probably the least convincing bit of the movie - it seems a bit empty.
When she phones him and tells him OMG the look on Ben's face and then the masterful WHERE ARE YOU?
He arrives just too late as the train takes Angie back to her life 10 years later and this is where everything seems to fall apart.
I can accept that the situation at the beginning of the movie is what Angie is taken back to change but surely the two paths have to corelate at some stage?
Nothing seems to make sense after this - Ben knew where she was so could go after her which apparently he did.
Supposedly they have been dating for 10 years (really?) however back in the present day Angie doesn't seem to know this seems to think her mother and father might be divorced , that Ben arranged an adoption for her sister etc, etc.
None of it makes sense, she doesn't even know anything about the past 10 years even thathey had last met just a couple of days previously and why would Ben think that she would accept his proposal now when she had been holding off for those years?
I have just question after question.
Instead of being able to wallow in the joy that Ben had achieved his heart's desire I am left feeling disorientated and confused.
No-one else in the family has a clue either and I have seen several others write that the ending doesn't make sense.
I really wish the writers could explain to me just what exactly happened.
What should have been the clear #1 finishes at #8
Florence
Florence, I just love your take on Next Stop, Christmas! Those time travel type movies always get to me at the very end. That same sort of ending also happens with Candace Cameron Bure in A Shoe Addict's Christmas. At the end, it appears as if she doesn't know who she is even married to - when the guy comes in (the brother) and teasingly says, "Honey, I'm home!" She has to look at the frame of their wedding to know who her husband is. Very odd. The same ending scenario happens in Eve's Christmas, too. Otherwise, these movies are great, but I agree, the end is baffling.
DeleteSo far, I'm agreeing with most of Florence's thoughts. Can't wait to see the rest of her list. (I, too, have a few more Christmas movies to watch, mainly on GAC, which I'm watching through a Frndly TV subscription since Verizon still won't get on board with GAC).
Delete~~Jane
Jane, I'm still finishing up with the Christmas movies, too! It has never taken me this long before, but I've stopped here and there to watch other movies that premiered this year, as well. Usually, I'm done by late February or mid-March.
DeleteI recently watched Joy for Christmas with Cindy Busby and Sam Page, which was great, and now, I'm finally on my last one - Hallmark's 'Tis the Season to Be Merry!
Hope you enjoy your last movies on GAC Family. Glad your able to watch through Frndly TV. So nice to hear from you! :)

This a great example of never to judge a book by its cover.
I'm already dreading this Christmas as it seems there are going to be even more Christmas movies than last year - it was past Easter before we finished 2021's.
If you try to cut corners then you might just miss a gem.
I'm not at all a fan of"older" lead actors, not big on country although I like the pop-slanted material and an not overly impressed by Lifetime so in trying to save time this is one I could easily have said "Maybe we could skip watching this".
How wrong I would have been.
This was superb.
I'm familiar with Reba McEntire but can't say I knew much about John Schneider - there was an electric connection between them, the chemistry jumped out of the TV set, the banter between them was scintillating and I actually enjoyed the music!
It was lovely the way they tied in the military connection and even the daughter's secondary blossoming romance added another dimension to the movie.
One of the few Lifetime highlights.

Time For Them To Come Home For Christmas - Jessy Schram & Brendan Penny
If asked to name Hallmark actors I'm sure that neither Jessy nor Brendan would immediately come to mind. yet both have been appearing for some considerable time now and are the backbone of the company - they very rarely set a foot wrong and their movies are always enjoyable.
This was a great pairing - not for the first time Brendan was playing a nurse.
Jessy had lost her memory and Brendan obviously had something big playing on his mind - I particularly enjoyed the mystery element to this and did not have a clue where the plot would go
The road journey to where they believed Jessy originated from was enchanting with a different aspect to the various stopovers (nice to see Alison Sweeney make a cameo appearance)and it was lovely to see the growing affection between the pair.
It did go off the rails for me a bit towards the end - Brendan talking to his brother over his grave spooked me to some extent and the attitude of Jessy's sister was off-putting but overall this was an engrossing movie worth watching over - Florence
I posted my # 6 and 7 movies here for 20121 a few days ago but nothing has appeared - Florence
ReplyDeleteFlorence, I got it! So sorry - I was a little behind this week in posting comments.
DeleteAnother two great movies for your list! I also thoroughly enjoyed Reba McEntire's Christmas In Tune. You are so right - Reba and John had a wonderful connection on screen, both are so natural. I think since they've known each other for years that worked well for them.
As for Time For Them To Come Home For Christmas, I keep re-writing that ending in my mind. I so want Brendan's brother to be alive and maybe... he just didn't want to see him sick. It could've been a beautiful, heartwarming ending, with him finally reaching out to his brother and being there for him, but this way was too real. So sad. Otherwise, I agree, the movie is great.
Once again, Florence, I enjoyed your assessment... So far, every movie you've mentioned is in my It's a Wonderful Movie Awards nomination list for the 2022 Christmas movies. (coming soon!!!)
The two Christmas movies which Reel Entertainment advised last year (2021) had been sold to Lifetime
ReplyDeleteLoving Christmas - Btittany Bristow and Loivier Renaud
A La Carte Christmas - Erin Agostino and Dillon Casey
are reportedly in Lifetime's line-up for Christmas 2022
I'm worried about Hallmark's A Cozy Christmas Inn - how is this going to play out?
If the two leads are Jodie Sweetin and David O'Donnell then surely Lauren has either
a) moved on without committment
b) she and Andy married and divorced
c) passed away
I can't see any other scenario.
Whichever is the case in my mind it's going to bring into question the endings in all other Hallmark movies - Florence

'Tis The Season To Be Merry - Rachael Leigh Cook, Travis Van Winkle - Hallmark
They (almost!) saved the best for last.
The final 2021 Christmas movie for Hallmark and what a cracker it was.
I'm not a big Rachael Leigh Cook fan but I always go into a movie with an open mind and fair's fair,she really nailed this one - easily the best performance I have ever seen from her as a blog writer extraordinaire on relationships writing a book outlining how rules have led her to meeting Mr Right, ostensibly her fiance - who actually doesn't exist.
She plays the naive but lovable dork to perfection and is the perfect foil for the outgoing and brash Travis Van Winkle, her Editor's brother.
TVW has the sort of happy face a la Paul Greene or Andrew Walker which makes you want to smile and is much underused by Hallmark.
They were so awkward yet also natural around each other and there was obviously some history between them which could have been minor or major - it was actually never explained.
The banter between them was superb but there was great acting all round from the whole cast, excellent scripting, good dialogue and the movie moved along at a great pace with never a dull moment.
There were a few odd things such as the mother and father selling their business which had been in the family for three generations without telling their offspring but it was entertaining the way three love stories were intertwined.
The romance between the coffee shop owner and Merry's boss was a bit bland but I really enjoyed the sister's story where the guy appeared to have an interest in Merry but was actually looking for her professional opinion!
The ending added the final touch for me - up to a couple of years ago at THE final kiss you always knew the characters were in it for a long and happy relationship however recently I am often left feeling that this is just for the moment in time and even a long-distance nwhich doesn't work for me.
Showing a short epilogue a year down the line, with Merry's revised book and focusing on the big ring on her tihrd finger, left hand just rounded off a really lovely movie.

ReplyDeleteA Christmas Miracle For Daisy - Jill Wagner, Nick Bateman GAC Family
I thought this was the pick of GAC's inaugural season but there were more critical reviews than there normally would be for a Jill Wagner movie and I was quite surprised to even see a comment here that there wasn't much connection between Whitney and Connor.
I thought they'd great chemistry but I'm a sucker for "Lovers Reunited" and I really adored the initial remeeting with the shock, awkwardness and then sniping and bickering.
Children can be awkward on movies, so often they overact and are 13 going on 30 but the girl playing Daisy was excellent.
This was just like one of those Hallmark movies of yesteryore which they could churn out seemlessly.
I previously submitted a review for this so suffice to say that this was a delight from start to finish - Jill and Nick had such a warm
and delighful presence on screen, the story was engrossing and there were all the elements of Christmas.
This could very well have been my #1 but sad to say there was a downside for me - I found Whitney's best friend and business partner very annoying - she had a grating laugh. far too much of an interest in Whitney's love-life and after blowing off a guy for years when he "decided" to move on she capriciously then decided he was the one for her.
But Jill and Nick just made such a lovely couple together and I had that lovely warm and fuzzy feeling when the movie ended - Florence
Florence, So fun to see your Christmas Movie Countdown continue! All of the ones you've mentioned, so far, would make my top ten list, too!!! Can't wait to see your #1!!!! :)

#3 Ghosts Of Christmas Past - Annie Clark, Dan Jeannotte Lifetime
Well now, this is a turn up for the books.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if most here haven't even seen this.
We never thought we would get to the end of watching the Christmas 2021 movies and if you tried to pick and choose which ones you could pass over then this low budget movie could have fit the bill and what a shame it would have been.
I know some will be upset by Ellie's meeting with a medium at the office Christmas party (I respect thse views) but I personally thought it was a bit of fun.
I've previously submitted a review for this.
Basically Ellie is afraid of commitment and one week before Christmas she is warned by the medium that she has to apologise to all the men she has ghosted in the past before Christmas Eve or she will never find true love.
Charlie is (wrongly) regarded as the office joker and he and Ellie are paired to submit a pitch for a new game, in the process he gets involved in helping Annie search for all those she has ghosted.
The pair have such a great on-screen presence, the whole film is really quirky and the banter between them is so warm-hearted and exhilarating that I found myself really engrossed.
The secondary cast of Ellie's mother, brother and sister-in-law all turn in good performances, there is a great and unexpected twist at the end of the film and what a great ending it is!
Who knows why one person enjoys something so much when others don't? - this has only a modest 6.2 rating at IMDb but at least I do see a couple of others here liked this.
For me a real little gem, one of the unexpected highlights of Lifetime's Christmas movies - Florence

ReplyDelete#2 My Family Christmas Tree
You're never going to get a movie without negative reviews but surely thus is the one with the least of those.
With a score of 7.7 on IMBd this is the highest ever rating for Hallmark.
It is an enthralling movie, excellently scripted and produced, overall realistic with a lot of Christmas devices and every single cast member puts in a stellar performance.
Perhaps it was fortunate that we watched this early in the season for usually a couple of weeks in and you get a whiff of a Gingerbread House Competition you're ready to run for the hills!
Aimee teegarden as Vanessa once again stole the show with her expressive face and you were with her the whole way through her ups and downs.
James Tupper as Richard the father though gave her a good run for the accolade of best actor of the movie.
I would actually say that he was the main male character rather than Anndrew Walker and I think this deliberate on the part of Hallmark.
The focus of the film was on a DNA test which indicated Richard and Vanessa were father and daughter rather than the romance between Vaness and Kris (AW).
I loved all the little one-liners which Hallmark throws in such as when Richard was explaining to his wife that the affair with Vanessa's mother was long before he met her and without missing blink she comes back I know that, I've done the maths!
to be continued
I have watched Moriah's Lighthouse 3 times already. Obviously, I really like the movie. I saw nothing bad in it so I'd say it is family friendly. Hope it comes out on dvd soon. Still waiting for Return to Christmas Creek, Christmas Bow, Eight Gifts of Hanukkah, Christmas CEO, My Christmas Family Tree, Twelve Gifts of Christmas, Finding Christmas, Window Wonderland, Christmas Land, Thanksgiving House, Christmas Cottage, and Love in Paradise. Hopefully, some will come out during Christmas in July. Also, would still love to see Farewell, Mr. Kringle on dvd.
ReplyDeleteMy Family Christmas Tree Cont'd
ReplyDeleteThey threw some doubt into the relationship of father and daighter by revealing that Richard had met her mother whose name was Trish in Rhode Island whereas Vanessa called her mother Paddy and believed she had lived all her life in New York, however in my part of the world Trish and Paddy are both relatively common nicknames for Patricia also this was 30 years ago when attitudes towards unmarried mothers were still heavily frowned on in especially in rural areas so wouldn't it make sense for the mother to move to a big city, "change" her name perhaps even make out she had been married?
Overall it was a lovely warm-hearted Christmassy movie with a feel-good factor and touch of realism.
Despite this for me there was one downside and that was the romance between Vanessa and Kris - it was not that it took second place to the DNA story but it was just too low key and really needed to be more sharply defined and to some extent Andrew Walker's contriburion was diluted.
Black mark to Hallmark too for their trailer which gave away one of the major plot developments so you knew what was coming - it would have had much more effect if you hadn't known in advance.
Still, one of THE major hits of the 2021 Christmas season and kudos to all involved - Florence
Corey Sevier seems to be breathing, eating and sleeping new movies at the minute.
ReplyDeleteYet another new Christmas movie for 2022 from him co-starring Emily Alatalio:
Christmas Plus One
When sisters Cara and Amy make a pact to find their soulmates by next Christmas, they’re not expecting to be so successful! One year later, Amy’s winter wedding approaches and Cara finally finds her own perfect man, inviting him as her plus one. But after immediately losing his number, all hope is lost. Will she find him in time to make her Christmas wish come true? Or does love have other plans for Cara?
He already has the one assigned to Lifetime so could this be Hallmark (doubtful), UPtv (perhaps) but I just wonder if this is one we might not get to see.
He has several out there such as Meet Me In New York which don't look as if they are going to be aired - Florence

#1 Eight Gifts Of Hanukkah - Inbar Lavi & Jake Epstein, Hallmark
You just never know in paper how a movie will come over.
Every year when I see the Christmas list I would pick half-a-dozen or so which I would expect to be the best but it rarely works out like that.
I certainly wasn't expecting this #1.
Afew years back I couldn't have told you anything about a Jewish Christmas but then Lifetime aired Mistletoe and Menorahs curiously also starring Jake Epstein which was really excellent.
Since then it has become almost oblgitory for the main channels to have a Jewish themed Christmas movie and Mr Epstein seems to be the "go to" star for lead actor - Hallmark won the race for 2021!
My favourite plot is that of lovers' reunited or where someone has unrequited feelings and has never declared themselves.
I had never heard of Inbar Lavi (Sarah) before but she and Daniel (Epstein) were both brilliant in their roles, such a strong bond between them, seemingly like brother and sister although Daniel has been in love with Darah for yrears and has now decided to make his move by anonymously sending her a gift on each of the eight nights of Hanukkah.
Sarah recovering from a recent break-up is beginning to have deeper feelings than friendship but it is confusing her.
There is a personal background to each of these gifts and Daniel really wants Sarah to recognise that he is the sender.
I was quite amused later in the movie when he sulked that she never even considered him!
The whole cast was excellent in their roles - Srahs had three other suitors who were all personble although the ex-boyfriend who was trying to make a comeback was slightly "dodgy".
Sarah's brother who was also Daniel's best friend was particularly good and there was great interaction between Sarah's family (Daniel included as the boy-next-door) as they gathered each night to light another candle.
There was a delighful succession of Jewish traditions displayed throughout.
It was a warm-hearted, engrossing movie which drew you right in.
There was one flaw in the plot for me.
Sarah was an intelligent woman and the gifts had a personal meaning so after the third or fourth one she should surely realise that the sender could only be someone who knew her almost intimately which would have ruled out the two men she had only recently met.
This only left either the ex-boyfriend or someone close to her she hadn't considered.
It was highly amusing when Daniel lost his temper and reveals he is the sender and he has loved her for years and Sarah realises her true feelings they even manage initially to have a row about that!
It always leaves me mushy when someone who has secretly worshipped a person for years finally gets those feelings returned.
I was delighted too when in the final scene Daniel produces the eighth gift - a ring.
In a lot of Hallmark movies now I am left with the feeling that the relationship is very much of the moment and may not necessarily last.
In my ignorance I initially thought it was an engagement ring and didn't register he was putting it on her right hand but apparently it was a Jewish friendship ring which had a deep meaning.
It's not like Hallmark to miss a trick but I feel they did here.
One of the gifts was a photo frame and they could jave concluded by showing FIVE TEARS LATER with a photograph in it of Sarah and Daniel and a couple of kids - this would only have taken 15 pr 20 seconds.
Simply superb.
I would like to mention two other movies which were worthy but fell foul of me.
ReplyDeleteFive More Minutes - Nikki DeLoach & David Haydn-Jones
Well constructed and poignant and you needed a box of Kleenex handy! but it crossed a personal line for me when David made a decided play for Nikki even though she was in a committed relationship
The Christmas Promise - Torrey DeVitto & Dylan Bruce.
I must admit I am a purist and I believe there is that one true love for everyone, which is why I mainly feel when one of the leads has been married before then it is always a case of second best.
I was particuarly looking forward to seeing Dylan Bruce after so long.
Loved him in A Novel Romance with Amy Acker, a movie which we re-watch a couple of times a year.
If say one of the partners is divorced or has a broken engagement then I feel the first love was not the true one.
Where Hallmark erred for me was that they started by showing Torrey in the final days of her engagement before her fiance (played by the perennial "loser" Giles Panton) was killed.
But you could see the deep love between them so that Dylan could never be anything but second best and it ruined what could otherwise have been a compelling movie.
Had they not showed thise initial scenes I would have been happy to believe that the first fiance was a "mistake".
Since I started keeping records these have been my top Christmas movies each year.

Kimberley Sustad & Brandon Routh
2015 A Christmas Detour
Candace Cameron Bure & Paul Greene

2020 Time For Us To Come Home This Christmas

Apparently one of Hallmark's Christmas movies is:
ReplyDeleteMaple Valley Christmas starring Kimberley Sustad and Andrew Walker - can't wait to hear the synopsis.
Two for Lifetime 2022:
Reindeer Games starring Sarah Drew and Justin Bruning
Destination Christmas starring Natasha Wilson and Edward Ruttle:
Emma Warner feels like she lives Christmas year-round. As SVP at a toy company, she has had a great year with the season’s most successful toy but she is exhausted. All she wants is a non-holiday vacation with hot guys and a beach. Her assistant books her a flight to St. Johns but she ends up on the wrong plane and lands in St. Johns, Alaska, a town that goes all out for Christmas. Local holiday hero, Connor is stuck dealing with Emma who he considers a scrooge until her childhood Christmas memories thaw her to this town and to Connor.
Like the sound of this - Florence
Florence, Yes, Andrew Walker is currently filming "Maple Valley Christmas" for Hallmark. He shared a pic on his instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CgP5TC2v8Dc/) that had everyone guessing who his co-star might be. While to me, it looked like Rachel Boston, and many guessed Rachel in comments, along with Kimberley Sustad and Bethany Joy Lenz, it was revealed that his co-star is actually Peyton List, of The Tomorrow People and Star Trek: Picard. (I don't know those shows, but I noticed on her IMDB she was also in an episode of Monk, and I remember her on there as the Magician's assistant.)
DeleteSo... from what I hear, she's Andrew's co-star. I'm sure Hallmark will officially be confirming this at some point. There's a lot of filming going on right now and various productions in-the-works. I keep hearing all sorts of Christmas movie details, here and there, and I've tried to report on all of these happenings in the past, but it's too time consuming to do so now with the incredible amount of holiday films coming out.
It is fun to hear Christmas movie news, though, on social media, and that image Andrew Walker shared in front of the barn all decked out for holidays... looks like a beautiful Christmas dream.
Thank you, Florence, for also sharing the synopsis for Destination Christmas! Love that she ends up in a Christmas town! I agree, that sounds soooo good! :)
Destination Christmas is not family friendly. His sister and her wife featured throughout.
DeleteIMDb was right - it had Peyton List as his co-star!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much information floating around and unfortunately a lot of it turns out to be incorrect - Florence
New Steve Lund Lifetime Christmas movie - co-star Kathryn Davis
ReplyDeleteSix Degrees Of Santa
Christmas enthusiast and single mom, Steph, has created a program, Six Degrees of Santa, in which anonymous “Santas” give a gift (along with instructions) to be passed along, temporarily enjoyed, and re-gifted, indefinitely. Her goal is to create a Christmas experience that’s real-life, magical, and unexpected. When Steph’s own gift lands in the hands of a leading internet entrepreneur, Jason, he’s convinced that the original Santa might be his soul mate. He seeks out Steph, as the architect of the program, to help him track down this mystery woman (that happens to be her). Jason represents everything Steph is against, especially when it comes to Christmas, so she gets to work immediately… on leading him astray.
We are really going to be weighed under with Christmas movies this year and I am going to have to try and find ways of cutting back on viewing.
Difficult but even though Steve Lund is one of my favourites the plot-line is one of my pet hates so this is one I can happily igore - Florence
Florence, Great catch on Reel One adding Lifetime to their web-site on Six Degrees of Santa. That storyline is definitely something. I recall they filmed this one back in April.
DeleteI know what you mean about cutting back this year. There's no way I'll be able to watch them all. I think I'll watch the trailers and determine from there.
Nicely Movies has been coming on in leaps and bounds recently with several of their movies airing on the main TV channels.
ReplyDeleteThere's some good new ones I hope get shown including Christmas-themed ones however they've succumbed to the woke brigade and have a new title A Christmas To Treasure where the leads are a gay male couple.
One to avoid - Florence
Thank goodness they're giving Lacy Chabert a decent male co-star this Christmas - apparently she and Wes Brown are starring in Haul Out The Holly.
ReplyDeleteAlso Alison Sweeney and Luke MacFarlane in Christmas Village.
And apparently there's a sequel to Five More Minutes.
What I'm really looking forward to though is another outing for Chandler Massey (with Katherine Barrell whom I'm unfamiliar with) in Flight Before Christmas.
I really loved him last year in Next Stop, Christmas
Florence
Florence, Katherine is who was in last year's Godwink movie, which was not a favorite of mine. Either her performance, or the story in general, just didn't inspire me to root for her. I liked both of her boyfriends more than her character and felt terrible for the ditched one! Maybe her movie this year with Chandler will be a winner, though. :-) I found "Next Stop, Christmas" to be a delight, as well!
Delete~Alicia
I wasn't a big fan of that Godwink movie either - probably the weakest to date.
DeleteI can just about remember her, hopefully there will be more chemistry with Chandler.
With the big Christmas announcements imminent these are at the top of my Christmas wish list:
DeleteChristmas in Rockwell - Stephen Huszar
A Merry Single Christmas - Chelsea Gibson, Andrew Rogers.
Two ex's sign up fpr the same single Christmas retreat - my favourite plot of lovers re-united.
Christmas In Pine Valley - Rene Ashton, Andrew Biernat
Christmas Retreat - Rhiannon Fish, Clayton James
Planes, Trains & Christmas Trees - Kathryn Davis, Oliver Renault
My Favourite Christmas Tree - Emma Johnson, Giles Panton
Destination Christmas - Natasha Wilson, Edward Ruttle (hoping he can redeem himself from the disastrous A Honeymoon To Remember earlier this year).
An executive who wants to escape Christmas is booked by her assistant into St. John Alaska instead of the Caribbean and it turns out to be a town big on Christmas! Love these.
My #1 hope though is Christmas Plus One with Emily Alatalo and Corey Sevier however it's hard to see who might take it up
Lifetime are showing Corey's Christmas On Mistletoe Lake and while an odd time they do air more than one Christmas movie by a particular actor it's not the norm.
Highly unlikely to be Hallmark nor GAC which only really leaves UPtv which had a weird line-up last year showing several movies previously shown by ION.
Last year's ION movies were simply dreadful so I hope they don't repeat this.
However, UP did screen a few from Reel One so I'm pinning my hopes on them for Corey.
Jesse Hutch had the July Christmas outing on Hallmark and doen't seem to have made any other holiday ones. - Florence
Christmas In Rockwell with Stephen Huszar goihg straight to DVD on 08 November - Florence
ReplyDeleteSurely GAC and Lifetime will declare tomorrow? - they're being very slow.
ReplyDeleteThrough bits and pieces and if the info is correct there are around 26 movies reckoned to be airing on Lifetime so that does leave a few more and I'm really hoping that these will include a couple which I would like to see.
GAC have about 6 or 7 up their sleeve which we haven't heard anything about so it will be intriguing what these are - I wonder if they will be their own originals or might they "buy in" a few? - Florence
Hoping that Hallmark will put Christmas CEO and My Christmas Family Tree on their own dvd. Still hoping for Return to Christmas Creek and Christmas Bow to come out on dvd. Maybe this year.
ReplyDeleteWe've also yet to hear from BYU and ION - Florence
ReplyDeleteApparently the Lifetime Scheduke has now been published and while I am in some ways pleased they have cut it back form 35 last year to 26 this year I'm also disappointed since I was hoping that they might come up with a few movies I would like to have seen.
ReplyDeleteHowever I think in previous years Lifetime has sometimes added a few extra ones later on so who kniows - Florence
Of course Channels don't liase but it's all out of sync this year.
ReplyDeleteLast year there was a new movie every night because of Lifetime - this year there can be 5 on a night, maybe only 1 another night and many weeks there's nothing at all on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
I wonder if maybe the mid-week movies got poor viewing figures last year?
Really odd that there's no new Christmas movie on UPtv from 20 November until 02 December.
Interesting that Hallmark is airing a double-bill on 25, 26 and 27 November at 6.00p.m. and 8.00p.m.
This may be a mistake - it may be a holiday weehend but is 6.00p.m really a viewer-friendly time? - Florence

DeleteChristmas Goals - new hockey-themed Christmas movie for Hallmark with Kevin McGarry!
ReplyDeleteWonder who his co-star is? - Florence
Apparently the female lead is Kim Matula whom I haven't heard of before.
ReplyDeleteI'm just wondering if this might be a "Christmas In July" movie? - Florence
Florence, That's my hunch, too... Christmas In July! Although, Kevin McGarry had a Christmas movie premiere in July last year with "My Grown-Up Christmas List." Hmmm???
DeleteIf they premiere this new Christmas movie, "Christmas Goals," in July, it would probably be a good lead up to the 10th season of "When Calls the Heart!"
Or, they could promote "Christmas Goals" during "When Calls the Heart," trying to draw viewers into watching their Countdown to Christmas movies. Either way could work!
Just wrapped up - Coupled Up For Christmas with Sara Canning and Marcus Rosner:
ReplyDeleteThis is the year Tiffany Williams is finally going be reunited with her longtime family friend/crush Brett, only to find out he has a serious girlfriend. This is when Tiffany pairs up with a recently-heartbroken Peter, to win back the affection of their respective soulmates.
Really hope this gets picked up by one of the main channels because that plot is one of my favourites - Florence
Florence, I've had my eye on that movie, as well. It certainly has an interesting storyline. There's so many Christmas movies being filmed these days, that's why I typically wait to share when the networks make their official announcements. "Coupled Up For Christmas" does sound like a cute one, though!
DeleteI also hope Reel One Entertainment distributes it to a channel we like, instead of streaming. Since Hallmark, UPtv, and Great American Family obtain movies from them now, it's a great possibility it could end up on one of those!
I'm a bit worried about Reel One Entertainment although the Christmas movies will probably be okay.
ReplyDeleteThere's no pattern to base anything on with GAF yet, Hallmark buy very few and although the position probably won't be clear for a couple of months it does look as if UPtv is pulling away from them.
Whether this is because of the cost or because a lot of these movies now seem to be purchased by European countries like Serbia. Croatia, Hungary, The Netherlands etc and will not see the light of day in the US so there isn't the same choice for UP, who knows?
It could be too that the woke brigade has gotten to Reel One for there are gay couples appearing with more regularity now whuch UP wouldn't want and if I'm not misunderstanding there seems to be a movie about someone getting pregnant through in vitrio fertilisation (Zoe's having a baby).
Rell One only deal with the movie industry and there doesn't seem to be anyone to contact for the general public.
The position doesn't look good - Florence
Marcus Rosner is really churning out the movies.

ReplyDeleteReporting For Christmas - Tamara Feldman, Matt Trudeau
Mary Romero is a serious journalist who aspires to use her platform as an investigative TV producer to make the world a better place. The general manager of her struggling Chicago-based TV station, Hank, gives Mary an assignment as far removed from that goal as it gets: a puff piece for their biggest advertiser, Johnson Toys, commemorating the 40th anniversary of one of their signature toys that will air just before Christmas. Mary grudgingly leaves for the rural town of Brunswick, Iowa, which boasts having “The Holiday Spirit All Year Round” largely because Johnson Toys, the country’s largest manufacturer of Christmas toys, provides hundreds of local jobs. She gets right to business and meets Johnson Toys’ enthusiastic CEO Alton Johnson as well as his handsome son Blake, who is next in line to run the company but wants nothing to do with Mary’s documentary, which he believes will only focus on their commercial success. After initially butting heads, Blake shows Mary around the Christmas-loving town and shares more about its rich history. The two begin warming to one another over dinner, a stroll down main street, and peppermint lattes.

The market is awash with new Christmas movies so the writer's strike won't really have any impact on the Chritmas season this year - Florence
ReplyDeleteAccording to Reel One Meery Magic Christmas starring Andrew Dunbar and Patricia Isaac has been bought by Lifetime.
ReplyDeleteAs Christmas nears, a financial advisor starts seeing a recurring number: 624. It’s the time she wakes, an address, the change at a Christmas shop. She’s told the number is from a Christmas angel to help make her heart’s secret wish come true. A numbers person, she calls it a statistical coincidence. But when she discovers the number’s meaning, she finds love.
This may not appear this year however as sometimes Kifetime have helc Christmas movies back for a year.
The situation at Lifetime is unclear.
With the personnell changes there are suggestions that they may be cutting back on their Christmas programme but where this is coming from and how true it might be is open to question - Florence
So far behind this year - only now starting to list all the Christmas movies in chronological order leaving gaps to insert Lifetime - Florence
ReplyDeleteOne Christmas movie announced by Lifetime - Merry Liddle Christmas Vacation will NOT be airiing.
ReplyDeleteDue to the writer's strike it wasn't filmed - Florence
This is awful this year - information seems to be so slow coming through - I can't get a full schedule listed.
ReplyDeleteI remember a few years back Hallmark had a couple of Seasons where they kept switching the dates of the Christmas movies round and it was a complete mess but they seem to have learned from this and now stick to their advertised original schedule.
Kudos to them and BYU who have nailed their colours to the mast.
GAF appeared to be ahead of the game when they announced their listings but for some reason has gone coy and hasn't listed the airing dates after the end of October but at least this is better than the others remaining.
Lifetime is always late and there is a lot of speculation about their position this year although I am hopeful there will be a good number of Reel One Entertainment originals.
There's nothing official from Fox Nation, ION,CBS etc.
BYU sometimes slip in a few at the last minute so I wonder if they will do the same this year?
I wish they'd all get a move on - Florence
Well, the strikes did a lot of damage this year with the companies that didn't film before this summer, so some slow down was to be expected. And honestly, if any network needed to drastically cut down on it's lineup, it was Hallmark. Like, how is anyone going to have the time and interest to watch over 40 new movies?!
DeleteAnd whatever Lifetime does, I'll probably be too busy watching other movies or fighting to keep from having burnout to care much about their lineup is to care much, if most of their lineup doesn't come from Reel One or Nicely that is.

Reel One's How to Fall in love by the Holidays (written by Ansley Gordon) will begin streaming on Roku on November 3rd, per TV Insider. -Maria
ReplyDeleteMaria, I saw Ansley mention this a few weeks ago. It looks like it could be a good one with Teri Hatcher and Dan Payne. That was interesting to hear that the Roku Channel picked it up.
DeleteI always wonder how the process works with the networks and streaming platforms purchasing the rights to air each film.
If I have time with all of the other Christmas movies, I will try to check it out.
Blessings, Net
