πŸŽ„Happy February 25th - It’s Time to *Mark the 25th*!




πŸŽ„✨ Happy February 25th, everyone! ✨πŸŽ„

Wow! Can you believe it’s already been TWO months since Christmas? Time really does fly once the decorations come down!

Are you already counting down to Christmas 2026 with us?

Okay… it might seem a little early. But if you’ve been following It’s a Wonderful Movie for a while, then you know that every 25th day of the month we celebrate our ongoing Countdown to Christmas tradition!

A little Christmas cheer sprinkled throughout the year makes everything feel warmer and brighter. ✨

Only 10 months to go… but who’s counting, right?

If you'd like to join along to celebrate the 25th... all you have to do is choose a Christmas movie to watch today (or sometime this week or weekend) and share in comments below your Christmas choice!

I decided that my Christmas movie pick will be the hockey-themed movie, Checkin' it Twice, due to the recent amazing wins from our American hockey teams in the Olympics. Their American patriotism is so inspiring, especially from the men's team who hadn't won since 1980! I didn't see the first Miracle on Ice, but this certainly feels like another miracle win.

And what a proud moment it was - seeing the team last night at the State of the Union Address! Go Team USA!




Please share your Christmas movie picks in comments! I would love to know which Christmas movie you are feeling drawn to this week.

Merry Mark the 25th!

"Hearts Around the Table" 4-Movie Collection Releases Today on DVD - See Reviews:




I just wanted to share that this delightful collection of four Hallmark movies, "Hearts Around the Table," is now available together in one special DVD collection!

This heartwarming series follows four adult foster siblings who are all grown up, but still cherish the bond they formed as children. They truly are family - as they walk alongside one another through life’s joys and heartaches.

One of my favorite parts is their weekly family dinners with their foster mom, Angie. There’s something so beautiful and meaningful about seeing them gather around the table, sharing love, laughter, and support.

Each movie focuses on the family and one of the siblings as they find love. This collection is deeply touching from beginning to end!








I've included reviews from the It's a Wonderful Movie family below...




"Hearts Around the Table: Jenna's First Love"

Starring: Ashley Newbrough and Steve Lund

Storyline: Jenna plans a charity event for Billionaire Tom Redlands. But working with Tom's right hand Andrew is proving difficult, especially since Jenna and Andrew have a romantic history.

Movie Reviews:

❤️ I did watch Hearts Around the Table--Jenna's First love--It was pretty good. I like Mishael Morgan so I wanted to give this series of movies a try. I can't wait to see her movie next week. I love how the family always gets together for Sunday dinners and how close they all seem to be. I am looking forward to learning more about the others. You only get a glimpse of them all in Jenna's story. I think you see Shari more, so will be interested in Kiki and Josh too. Love seeing Mondy Cohn too. ~Sabrina

❤️ Hearts Around the Table: Jenna's First Love - Ashley Newbrough and Steve Lund have such wonderful chemistry in this as Jenna and Andrew, past loves from high school who reconnect again years later. It's really thoughtful and caring how Jenna's foster siblings want to protect her from Andrew since he broke her heart many years ago. Like Sabrina mentioned, I also love how they all come back home for Sunday dinners and how close the siblings are with each other. That connection, especially now that they are older, is very sweet. ~Net



❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️





"Hearts Around The Table: Shari's Second Act"

Starring: Mishael Morgan and Brendan Morgan

Storyline: Shari just moved back to D.C. after a breakup and hopes to start painting again. Inspiration hits when she meets Evan, a repairman who winds up actually being a gallery owner.

Movie Review:

❤️ Shari's Second Act is another sweet entry in the collection! –Maria



❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️





"Hearts Around the Table: Josh's Third Serving"

Starring: Jake Epstein and Stephanie Bennett

Storyline: Josh, the beloved math teacher and track coach, and Ella, the dedicated English and music teacher, find themselves on opposite sides of a school funding debate—until an unexpected partnership reveals they might have more in common than they ever imagined.

Movie Reviews:

❤️ Josh's Third Serving is safe, and quite the sweet movie! Looking forward to the last movie -Maria

❤️ … My husband and I really enjoyed the third installment of the “Hearts Around the Table” movie series. I normally don’t care for Stephanie, but she was so lovely in the movie. And I really liked Jake and her together. They were adorable. Plus, I loved Mindy’s character even more in this installment. Really looking forward to the final installment of this movie series. ~Joan

❤️ I have to say, I really enjoyed the Hearts around the table movies. I just started Kiki's movie, so I do not have a verdict on that, but I am sure I will love it.

These have been such heartwarming movies, how Angie opened her heart and home to all and so many more kids who didn't have loving homes, or didn't have parents that could take care of them. The 4 adult hearts, Josh, Shari, Jenna and Kiki are so wonderful and always there for each other, and for the new fosters Angie takes in. And Angie, just what a delight. So far, I have loved Josh and Ella's story the best. ~Sabrina

❤️ I have one "Hearts Around the Table" movie left to watch, but I just had to say how much I have enjoyed this series of films. It is beautiful to see how this foster family has flourished, and how they continue to care for, look out for and love each other, even as adults. Angie is such an incredible woman, who continues to give love to others by opening her home up to foster children, mostly teenagers, who simply need someone to care. I’ve enjoyed each of these stories and loved the way the writer weaved various storylines of each character, Jenna, Shari, Josh, and Kiki into each of these movies. Looking forward to the last one! ~Net



❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️





"Hearts Around the Table: Kiki's Fourth Ingredient"

Starring: Kathryn Davis and Torrance Coombs

Storyline: Kiki, a spirited food truck chef, takes on catering her sister Jenna’s wedding. When setbacks arise, she finds unexpected help in Clay, the charming best man and a chef himself. As sparks fly, Kiki discovers that love—whether for family, food, or romance—means taking chances and following her heart.

Movie Reviews:

❤️ Kiki's Fourth Ingredient is safe, and therefore makes the whole collection safe! Well done, Hallmark. –Maria

❤️ We watched the last "Hearts Around the Table" movie last night. I have to be honest. It was just okay. I was hoping for more. We did like the resolution to Jenna's father story. And, the wedding was lovely. The movie was clean, which was good, but I don't know. We liked the first and the third movie's more. ~Joan

❤️ I was finally able to finish the last hearts around the table movie. I wish that this could become a series. But I would also want to guarantee that they didn't sneak anything in it that would ruin it, if you know what I mean. These four movies were so good! ~Grace



❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
