*Two back-to-back episodes!

Reviews:
(*Note: The reviews below are from those of us who streamed this series last Christmas on Hallmark+)

πŸŽ„ Mistletoe Murders is family friendly (1st episode) and liking it so far. -Elizbeth

πŸŽ„ Mistletoe Murders - Okay, so I decided to get Hallmark+ for the Christmas season. I’ve watched the first two episodes of “Mistletoe Murders,” and it is a cozy sort of mystery.

Sarah Drew (“Guiding Emily”) is the lead and she is good in this genre. Her character, Emily Lane, owns and runs a Christmas shop, but she also has a covert mysterious past.

The show has a sort of “Murder, She Baked” vibe to it with all the community involvement in Fletcher’s Grove, and Emily has two adorable cats. Sarah Drew’s opposite is Peter Mooney (“Fly Away with Me”), who plays local police officer, Sam Wilner. He is a single divorced father with a daughter in high school, who also works with Emily at her Christmas shop.

I won’t give any of the mystery away, but one of the suspects is an unmarried pregnant woman. There is some mystery as to who the father is of her unborn baby. Another male suspect is referred to as her (and I quote) “Baby Daddy.” Due to that and some violence centered around the murder, the episodes are best-suited for a mature audience.

Thus far, “Mistletoe Murders” is an intriguing mystery series. ~Net

πŸŽ„ I’ve been watching the Mistletoe Murders Mystery series and so far it’s pretty good. I just finished the first half of episode 2 and so far it’s been family friendly. ~Abigail

πŸŽ„ So I started a 7 day free trial of Hallmark + last night because I wanted to watch the Mistletoe Murders and I watched the first movie (episode 1 &2 as it breaks it up into 2 episodes I don’t know why) and it was surprisingly good! I personally don’t care for Sarah Drew, never cared for any of the movies she did, but this one surprised me! I think she was good in the sleuthing role and I’m excited to watch the other 2 mistletoe Murder movies. The only thing I don’t care for is how she narrates in the movie. I’m okay with that in the beginning to set the stage but she does it throughout the entire movie and it is kind of distracting to my own thoughts when I watch a mystery movie. I want to dissect it in my own mind and her narration is distracting. ~Paula

The partnership isn't without its challenges: Monica is a by-the-book traditionalist who follows every heavenly rule, while Michael embraces spontaneity and delights in earthly joys like hot chocolate, snowball fights, and holiday dancing. Their clashing styles – and the undeniable spark growing between them – complicate their mission. As Christmas Eve draws near, Monica and Michael worry that their differences will keep them from completing their mission in time. But just when it seems all hope is lost, a surprising turn of events changes everything — leading to a Christmas connection no one saw coming."

SHINING THE LIGHT
OF CHRISTMAS


Christ Born of Mary

"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.

But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” "


Matthew 1:18-22


πŸ’« Faith Channel Debuts First Christmas Movie: "Christmas At The Cabin"

The Faith Channel is premiering an all-new Christmas film this holiday season titled "Christmas at the Cabin"! This premiere will be the very first original movie from Faith Channel Productions, which launched in April 2025 with a mission to create uplifting Christian films and content.

"Christmas at the Cabin" will make its big debut in theaters starting November 14, 2025. After its run, it will be available to purchase online, and streaming will be available through various platforms.

And more exciting news... Faith Channel is already developing two brand-new Christian comedy series!

You can find all the details for this new Christmas movie in the official press release from Faith Channel below.



************



FAITH CHANNEL PRODUCTIONS
DEBUTS FIRST ORIGINAL FILM
WITH HEARTWARMING HOLIDAY FEATURE
“CHRISTMAS AT THE CABIN” –
IN THEATERS NOVEMBER 14TH

Feel-Good Holiday Movie Produced In Association With CineMammoth Productions, 21 Five Films, And Imperishable Media

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 15, 2025) — “CHRISTMAS AT THE CABIN,” a new holiday romantic comedy from Director Tori Hunter (“Shades of Violet,” “The Christmas Letter,” “The Shift,” “Washington's Armor”) and Writer Marianne Haaland, is set to hit theaters nationwide on November 14, 2025. This heartwarming feature marks FaithChannel Productions’ first original production, delivering a family-friendly film that embraces the chaos, comedy, and emotional highs and lows of the holiday season. Check out the trailer here.

Produced by FaithChannel Productions in association with CineMammoth Productions, 21 Five Films, and Imperishable Media, the film was beautifully shot on location in Breckenridge, Colorado, capturing the charm and wonder of a snowy mountain Christmas. Executive produced by FaithChannel Productions, the movie is part of the studio’s larger vision to deliver inspiring, high-quality entertainment rooted in faith, family, and fun.

“We at Faith Channel are proud to present our first original feature film, ‘CHRISTMAS AT THE CABIN,’” said John Stewart, CEO of Faith Channel. “Filming on location in Colorado was an extraordinary experience, and we are excited to share this heartwarming story with audiences worldwide this holiday season.”

A heartfelt, funny, and uplifting film perfect for audiences of all ages, “CHRISTMAS AT THE CABIN” is a holiday story about love, friendship, forgiveness, and finding peace amid the imperfections of life. The film follows Michelle and Josh, a couple planning a peaceful Christmas getaway at their remote mountain cabin. Hoping for a calm and cozy holiday, they invite Michelle’s free-spirited sister Poppy to tag along. But their plans unravel when their car slides into a snowbank and they find their cabin mysteriously occupied by a squatter. Things get even stranger when the squatter turns out to be Guy, Josh’s unpredictable college buddy and is promptly blasted in the face with bear spray.

Michelle, a holiday traditionalist and meticulous planner, finds herself at odds with Guy’s chaotic energy. As a winter storm rolls in tensions flare, laughs are shared, and unexpected connections begin to form. When Michelle storms off after a heated argument, she is rescued in the blizzard by Luke, a mysterious stranger who helps her see that sometimes, surrendering control is the key to rediscovering joy.

The ensemble cast features Todd Terry (“1923,” “Lioness,” and “The Unbreakable Boy”) as “Luke,” and Corey Cannon (“Angel,” “The Secret” and “Singularity Stories Vol. 1”) as “Josh,” Marianne Haaland (“The Forge,” “Vindication” and “Divine Influencer”) as “Michelle,” Sharon Oliphant (“Disciples In The Moonlight,” “Triumph Of The Heart” and “Beyond Belief”) as “Poppy,” Corey Cannon (“Bringing Back Christmas,” “Vindication,” “Kids Who Flip”) as “Josh,” and Stacey A. Sheffield (“Lawmen: Bass Reeves,” “Wu-Tang: An American Saga,” “The Senior, Lioness”) as “Guy.” The film is produced by Corey Cannon, Russell David Hobbs, Ryan T. Johnson and Sharon Oliphant, with cinematography by Chase Bowman, music composed by Erick Schroder, and editing by Denzil Laughren.

After its theatrical run, “CHRISTMAS AT THE CABIN” will be available to purchase online, followed by a streaming release through platforms yet to be announced.

Movie Review:

Christmas Love and Fudge is clean and quite sweet. -Maria

Christmas Love and Fudge – I agree with Maria’s review; this movie is family-friendly and very sweet. The female lead, Amanda (Erin Karpluk), is quirky and cheerful, and her opposite, Simon (Christopher Russell), is a lot of fun! The two team up to uncover the secret ingredients behind Simon’s Aunt Jackie’s Joy to the World Fudge recipe.

It's just good, cozy comfort entertainment. The heart of the story was all about the fudge and their amazing teamwork, which of course leads to love. This ended up being a lighthearted, delightful watch. ~Net
