Both of these Christmas movies airing this week are family friendly!
Christmas at Holly Lodge is a fun Christmas comedy, with a heartwarming military tribute. Again, it's another Christmas movie starring Alison Sweeney, who starred in both Christmas movies last week on Hallmark. She's definitely on a role lately. Plus, you can also see Alison in Love on the Air at 6pm/5c. on Thursday night, just before Christmas at Holly Lodge. Plus, her fan favorite rom-com movie, The Irresistible Blueberry Farm, airs Friday night at 8pm/7c. (I was given the pleasure of interviewing Alison for "The Irresistible Blueberry Farm" - if you liked to see it - click here!) And, if you want even more movies with Alison Sweeney, look for the Murder She Baked marathon this Sunday, May 2nd, on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!
In addition to those movies, have you heard this latest scoop? Alison Sweeney will be starring alongside Hallmark favorites: Lacey Chabert, Kevin McGarry and Autumn Reeser in - "The Wedding Veil" movie trilogy. This movie has just begun production and is coming to Hallmark in 2022. See details *here*.
The second Christmas movie airing this week, Christmas in Vienna, is a lighthearted holiday movie - that has adventure, romance, and beautiful music! I've personally only seen it one time during Christmas last year, so I'm looking forward to watching it again.

Christmas At Holly Lodge isn't a bad movie but it's by no means one of Alison Sweeney's best.
ReplyDeleteOthers may disagree but Christmas In Vienna was for me one of the worst of last year's Christmas bunch.
Although Brennan Elliott is only 5 years older than Sarah Drew in the film it looked as if he was old enough to be her father, was very staid and seemed as if he was disinterested in the role - so disappointing.
Also Net, are you doing your usual annual awards?
I thought the polls were usually up by this time.
Yeah, both of these movies have some great actors. I wouldn't say these are my faves for any of them either, but thankfully, they are still lighthearted and fam-friendly.
DeleteAs for the awards, I have been trying to decide on whether or not to continue them this year - with the way movies are going these days; however, I still think it's important to honor the good, wholesome movies, even if they are fewer. With that said, I hope to have something up mid-May. Sorry for the delay this year, it seems time is flying by.
