Happy Last Weekend of April, Everyone!
It’s hard to believe we are already celebrating the final weekend of April, with May just around the corner and so many wonderful things to enjoy this season! I hope your weekend is filled with sunshine, joy, and a little time to relax.
The Hallmark Channel premieres its final Spring into Love movie, I'll Be Seeing You, this weekend, featuring a fun road trip, a touch of adventure, and potential romance with Stacey Farber and Tyler Hynes. It looks like a delightful way to close out Hallmark’s spring movie event!
And over on Great American Family's When Hope Calls: Brookfield, the children learn to play baseball from an unexpected source! This episode is filled with heartwarming moments and a few surprises along the way- see details below!
Plus, this weekend we mark the 25th on Saturday, which means it’s time once again for our Countdown to Christmas... and to the Christmas movie season, too! Each month brings us one step closer to those festive premieres, cozy classics, and all the holiday joy we all love so much!
There is plenty to look forward to this weekend, so settle in and enjoy all the fun ahead!
See details below...

Happy 8 Months until Christmas Day!
In addition to it being just 8 months until Christmas Day, we’re now around 6 months away from the start of the Christmas movie season!
Saturday, April 25th, is that special time again… to “Mark the 25th” day of the month with a cozy Christmas movie! If you're planning to join in, I'd love to know which movie you are choosing. It can be a new movie, a classic movie, something you love, or something you've never seen. Please share your Christmas movie pick in comments below. (And the Christmas movies airing Friday night can count, too!)
I decided my “Mark the 25th” choice will be the classic Hallmark Channel movie, A Boyfriend for Christmas, starring Kelli Williams and Patrick Muldoon. I chose this movie in honor of the recent, sudden passing of Patrick Muldoon, which is still so hard to believe, and because this movie has always held a special place in my heart.
I have many favorite lines from the movie, but here are two I especially love:
Ryan Hughes (AKA Douglas Firwood): I may be difficult to exchange without a receipt.
Holly Grant: That's okay, I think I'll keep you!
I hope whatever Christmas movie you choose... also brings joy to you! Please share your pick in comments below.

Weekend Thoughts...
The new episode of When Hope Calls: Brookfield is one you'll definitely want to *catch*! The new pastor teaches the children to play baseball, and Mountie Michael appears to be a little jealous of the new minister spending extra time with Nora.
Also, I sure hope we will all enjoy Tyler Hynes’ new movie, I'll Be Seeing You, premiering this weekend!
Hopefully, some of you have also had the chance to see the touching videos Tyler recently shared on Instagram. If not, I've included them below. It has been so heartwarming to see the genuine respect and admiration Tyler shows for the legendary Christine Ebersole, who portrays a grandmother in his new movie. They also previously worked together on Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, and it was Tyler's wish for them to reunite on screen again!
What a wonderfully talented and accomplished actress Christine Ebersole is! Her acting credits (as seen on IMDb) date back to the 1970s, and she has appeared in countless films, television movies, and series over the years. And my goodness... what a spectacular singing voice she has, too! I’m so glad these two were able to work together again on this movie and, hopefully, many more!
Tyler's video below highlights their time working on both movies - Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, and I'll Be Seeing You, and even a trip to the grocery store!
And this video from Tyler Hynes is such a touching tribute to why he so wanted to make this new movie... (warning: tissues may be required!)
Also, Hallmark hasn't officially announced, yet, but in case you haven't heard, earlier this month Tyler Hynes filmed a new Christmas movie for Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas 2026 with Laci J. Mailey (Chesapeake Shores, A Little Park Music) titled The Christmas Loop. In this new holiday movie, Tyler Hynes plays a character trapped in a Christmas Eve loop who falls for a woman. More details to come!

And... more Christmas-related news for Tyler... the Hallmark stores are releasing a brand new Tyler Hynes Christmas ornament. Last year's release was Lacey Chabert.
Tyler Hynes's ornament can't be purchased yet through the Hallmark store/website - it will be released on October 10th.
Lacey Chabert's ornament (from 2025) is no longer available through the Hallmark shop website; however, there are several purchase options through Ebay - click here for price and more details.
You can see the new 2026 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Dream Book - click here.
I hope you'll enjoy dreaming with me! So many sweet new ornaments! Anything with Charlie Brown always catches my eye, and I love that Hallmark is honoring the 80th Anniversary of the classic film It's a Wonderful Life with a lovely new ornament featuring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed! I would love to know... which ornaments do like best?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend... full of joy and happiness! As always, thank you for spending a little of your time here... your visits truly mean so much.
If you'd like to share a review for any of the programming this weekend or any previous weekend... please feel free to share in comments.
Blessings to You All!
