Hallmark Channel's "Royal" Themed TV Movies:

Smooch

*First premiered on the Hallmark Channel - February 1, 2011.

-Hallmark Crown Media-

Storyline: In "Smooch," Kiernan Shipka plays "Zoe," a young girl obsessed by fairytales and happy endings who is searching for the perfect man for her widowed mother Gwen (Kellie Martin). It is Zoe's belief in a frog's potential charm that compels her to abduct one from her middle school science class, carrying him to the San Francisco Bay in a water-filled lunchbox where she intends to set him free. Having skipped class, Zoe is surprised to see another schoolmate at the Wharf, and in her anxiety, accidentally drops her green friend overboard. As she surveys the scene, a male monarch (Simon Kassianides) in full royal regalia emerges from a dinghy in which he fell after a wild night of partying. The dazed prince looks more like Humpty Dumpty, sporting a giant goose egg on his head, courtesy of his fall from the pier. Though the prince has little memory of who he is or how he got into such a predicament, he is in luck. Zoe knows precisely how this fairytale ends.

A Princess for Christmas

*First premiered on the Hallmark Channel - December 3, 2011.

-Hallmark Crown Media-

Storyline: In "A Princess for Christmas," McGrath plays Jules Daly, a frenetic twenty-something who becomes guardian to her young niece Maddie (De Meza) and nephew Milo (Turner) when her sister and brother-in-law are tragically killed in an accident. While balancing the daily hysteria of becoming an overnight parent, Jules was recently laid off at work, her car is on the fritz, and the kids' shenanigans have caused a dozen nannies to flee like vampires before garlic. When an ominous knock on the door comes late one evening, Jules wonders, what now? At the door is Paisley Winterbottom (Miles Richardson, "Midsomer Murders"), a proper English butler, with a most curious invitation: a Christmas holiday with grandfather, Edward (Moore), the Duke of Castlebury Hall, who was absent from the kids' lives, but wants to reconnect out of love for his late son. Jules initially wants to decline the trip, though she and the kids eventually travel to Castlebury to meet the Duke. On more than one occasion, Jules feels woefully common trying to blend in with her late brother-in-law's ostentatious family. Eventually, however, even with missteps and mistakes, a mystical influence begins to fall over the family, like the comfort of a dusting of snow over the quiet countryside. This Christmas, the family won't lament what has been lost, but will celebrate all that has been found!

From the beginning, I know I personally fell in love with Hallmark’s “Royal” Christmas movies, beginning with “A Princess for Christmas.” Each additional "Royal" movie that has come along the way since then, whether it was holiday or non-holiday themed, has been enchanting and charming in it's own way.

Now, which “Royal” movie would you crown King of all? Please share in comments below!

  2. I have to say A Crown for Christmas 1st and then A Royal Christmas.

    I love the line at the end of A Crown for Christmas when Max said, "you had me at sewing kit". I was so happy when they rode back to the castle and were hugging with the little girl slipped my mind her name.

    I love on the Royal Christmas, Emily was just so down to earth with everyone and they all loved her except the queen of course.

    Then, 3rd best, I love My Summer Prince, Jack Turner is so adorable and I loved the story and Lauren Holly was so funny saying she never had chicken pox as a kid cause she didn't associate with kids even as a kid.

  3. I do love on the Princess for Christmas, when the boy asks why they got the shaft all Christmases in the past. He just blurts it out at dinner. I love how the little girl really gets to grandpa, he just adores her.

  10. Crown for Christmas is the clear favorite in our family.
    Royal Matchmaker, A Princess for Christmas and Once upon a Holiday have all made the I'd rewatch list.

    Smooch is by far the worst Hallmark movie I've ever tried to get through. I was embarrassed for it. They've come a long way since then.

  11. A Princess for Christmas for me, too! There's more to the story than just a romance. It's nice to see the children and the rest of the family heal by being together for Christmas. Sally
