Start the weekend off on Friday night with some classic Christmas movies...
Storyline: In “A Lot Like Christmas,” Jessica Roberts (Maggie Lawson) owns the most popular Christmas Tree lot in the picturesque New England town of Hudson Springs. But when big-city marketing executive, Clay Moore (Christopher Russell) moves a “Big Box” store into the area and starts selling trees, Jasmine finds her business in jeopardy. As their professional competition escalates, Jasmine and Clay run into another complication – they start falling for each other.
I love the scene pictured above in A Lot Like Christmas when they give the mother in the movie a group hug. In spite of the possibility of losing their business, they look on the positive and feel so blessed to have each other and good friends!
Encores Friday night at 8pm/7c.
on Great American Family
Update/Correction: "Crown for Christmas" aired Friday night on the Hallmark Channel.

Hallmark Channel's newest original movie honors mothers this weekend...
Storyline: Danielle (Tamera Mowry-Housley), a one-time off-Broadway performer and former backup singer, and Claire (Chelsea Hobbs), a once-aspiring dancer, both had dreams of making it to the Broadway stage. Many failed auditions and years later, Danielle is married Mark (Roger Cross), a successful lawyer, and has a ballerina daughter, who is positioned for NYC ballet, living in the Upper East Side. Claire is a single mother raising two sons and working as a bookkeeper in the Garment District. Now consumed with motherhood, they no longer have time for themselves and have deferred their own dreams. Danielle’s brother RJ (Andrew J. Hampton) introduces the two after Claire begins taking classes at his dance studio. He is impressed with Claire’s dance technique and wants to bring the women together to compete in a nationally televised talent contest. As they start practicing for the show, Danielle and Claire begin to regain their sense of self and passion they once had as performers. When competing priorities arise with their families and cause them to reconsider, the pair ultimately realize they need to show up for themselves and set an example to never give up your dreams. They compete in the talent contest and with the support of their families, Danielle and Claire learn it’s never too late to become what or who you want to be.

Mother’s Day Movies
ReplyDeleteWhy Hallmark isn’t playing Mother’s Day movies?
Mom’s Day Away
Just the Way You Are
Great question! They will probably wait and play them on Father's Day, Halloween, etc... (just kidding)
DeleteVery funny, Net
DeleteNet, You mentioned Father’s Day movies on Hallmark
DeleteDad’s Home
Freshman Father
Wishing all moms, a Happy Mother's Day! I'm looking forward to some of the movies. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteI watched Quest for Love & Love on Repeat are family friendly movies & both movies are never air any TV Networks but it’s available on streaming services
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. We are so blessed to have you!
ReplyDeleteIts not Cross Country Christmas on tonight/right now, its Crown For Christmas
ReplyDeleteCross Country Christmas is playing on Friday May 26th not today May 13th. You have the wrong day. Crown For Christmas is playing right now on May 13th
ReplyDeleteThank you - to both Anonymous commenters. I have corrected that above.
DeleteIn your defense, Hallmark changed the schedule late. I’d set up Cross Country Christmas to record and was surprised that it recorded the other one.
DeleteBy the way I watched the Jane Mysteries and it was clean (unless I missed something). Unfortunately I thought it was pretty boring.
Thank you, Anon. I wasn't anticipating that schedule change. Hallmark has been better about that lately. Guess I'll have to keep a closer check on that.
DeleteAlso, thank you for the Jane Mysteries review. I appreciate you letting us know. By the way, did you catch the Friday night or Sunday night showing?
I DVRed the Friday one and watched Saturday. Personally I’m glad they are doing this since I have more time on Saturday and don’t get around to watching Sunday premieres usually till the next weekend.
DeleteSomeone brought up how crystals were discussed in the movie. They were part of a sham business so nothing positive about them was said (from what I remember) which is good.
Happy Mothers Day to all of you wonderful moms out there! May you receive a special blessing for all of the love and support you give to your family!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post for Mothers Day, Net. Haven’t decided abt the new Mystery yet. I might just wait until that encore airing Sunday night.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteNet, I grew up with The Waltons and how I wish now I could go back to those years and appreciate it more. Watching that video with Mary Ellen was such a treat. Brought back many good memories for me.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice that she acknowledged discrepancies from the tv show to the reunion movies.
Oh, what a sweet comment. I'm glad this video clip of The Waltons reunion movie brought you much joy and sweet memories. Going back in time does sound nice more and more these days in the current state of the world we live in.
DeleteMy One True Love is family friendly about a woman named Ali is told by a gypsy named Madame Zoe that she'll fall in love with a man named John, so her friends turn her life upside down to help her date every John they collectively know to find the one.
ReplyDeleteWhen an alarmingly accurate fortune teller steers Ali towards the supposed love of her life, she must choose between trusting destiny or her heart? Sean is an EMT paramedic when Ali meets him at Carnival 🎡. Ali choices Sean by riding Ferris Wheel at the end of the movie.
My One True Love is never air any TV Network. It’s available on streaming services, Freevee, YouTube
Dream Moms is family friendly about a former singer named Danielle & a once-aspiring dancer named Claire regain their passion to perform as they prepare to compete in a nationally televised talent contest called; “Take Two”. Danielle & Claire inspired their Broadway dreams got deferred when they enter a TV talent show competition together after their Broadway dreams end and discover that it's never too late to fulfill your destiny. They’d both trained at RJ’s Dance & Hip Hop Studio. RJ introduces Claire & Danielle to Bruce Tellin for Broadway show. Both Dani & Claire seem so exciting about it
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this review! :)
DeleteHappy Mother’s Day
ReplyDeleteJane Mysteries: Inheritance lost...
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this film. It was kind of weak, but I enjoyed it. Jodie was cute with her different wigs with her disguises and Stephen wasn't uptight like he was in Ruby Herring. I did think her outfits were too revealing for my brother to watch and I didn't like the mention of crystals over and over again.
Abigail, Thank you so much for contributing this review. I feel the same way about New Age type things so I'm glad you mentioned that.
DeleteBless you! Net
Dear friends,
ReplyDeleteMy dad had his second heart attack yesterday. It's hard and I am scared. This is his third (heart/hospital issue. Last was in February. Could you please pray for him and my family. His name is Wade. Please pray that he doesn't develop any blood clots after catheterization.
Thank you. I know God is in control and sovereign and that gives me comfort.
My family and l will be praying. That is scary.
DeleteAbigail, Oh, honey, you know we will, as fellow believers in Christ, lift your dad, Wade, up in prayer to the Almighty who is the Great Physician.
DeleteSo sorry you and your family are going through this again. I know this has been such a heavy concern for you all for some time. I'm so glad you have your faith to lean on.
I know we aren't supposed to worry and we are to give our burdens to the Lord, but we often pick them back up again because we're human and we have such a deep love for our family.
Please know I will be keeping your daddy, you, and all of your family close in my prayers.
Sending you all much love. Hugs, Net
Abigail, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I will certainly keep Wade - and you - in my prayers!
DeleteI’ll keep your dad in my prayers. So sorry you’re all going through this hard time. CJ
DeleteSo sorry to hear.:(( -Maria
DeleteAbigail,
DeletePrayers for your dad, you and your family. So sorry to her this news!
Praying for your dad and your family, Abigail. Be still, and know that He is God! ~~Jane
DeleteMariah, Your Dad needs to drink plenty of water since I watched Magnum PI, that someone had heart attack & Thomas got him some water.
DeleteDrinking water before bed helps level out your blood throughout your body to prevent heart attacks throughout the night and the early hours of the morning.
Thinking of you and your family, Abigail and praying for a good outcome - Florence
DeleteThank you all for your kind and encouraging words and prayers. You make me feel so much better.
DeleteAn update..The doctors still don't know the reason yet. Since his first attack two Octobers ago, he's been eating really healthy and exercising and drinking lots of water, but unfortunately his arteries were still blocked. He had surgery yesterday, and was going to come home today, but is still having pressure in his chest, so it might take a couple of days.
I am so thankful for our friendship, my love to you all! God bless!❤
Abigail, Thank you for giving us this update, honey.
DeleteI'll be praying for the doctor's wisdom. Hopefully, they can discover a reason for the pressure. It sounds like your dad is doing his best to do everything just right, and I know you and your family are giving him such wonderful care.
I pray he can come home soon!
God bless you all, Net
My dad has been released from the hospital. We are still not sure what caused the attack, but we are so thankful to have him home with us. Thank you all again for your prayers!
DeleteSo wonderful to hear this, Abigail! Make sure he lays low for awhile and avoids anything even remotely strenuous!
DeleteAbigail, I'm so happy to hear your dad is home; I'm sure that alone will help him to feel so much better. Thank you for letting us know.
DeleteI'll be sure to keep him and your family in my prayers.
God bless! Net
Hi All,
ReplyDeleteI am not planning on watching Jodi's movie because she does not align with my core values. Sorry, she really did Candace wrong. Anyway, I did watch "Dream Moms". It was kind of cheesy, in some parts, but overall it was a cute movie. Family friendly, strong mom's, recapturing lost dreams, normal family relationships and good values. Plus, not your typical ending for a movie which was refreshing. All in all, worth watching.
Joan, I understand how you feel about Jodi. We'll just have to keep praying for her. I hope she and Candace can truly reconcile someday.
DeleteThank you for your review of Dream Moms. So nice to hear it is family-friendly! :)
Blessings to you! Net
Dream Moms- was kinda cute at times and it had its moments but I felt like it jumped around a lot. family-friendly from what I recall. CJ
ReplyDeleteCJ, I appreciate you sharing this info on Dream Moms. I've heard some others say the same thing, that it just didn't grab them. That is interesting.
DeleteThank you! Blessings, Net
We enjoyed the MSB marathon on Saturday, but I can’t figure out why they didn’t play that on Mother’s Day instead. Normally, I like Martha’s Vineyard mystery, but if you ask me, it didn’t make sense on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI can't watch anything with Jodie Sweetin after the way she verbally attacked Candace who is supposed to be one of her best friends. If Jodie doesn't agree with Candace's beliefs that's her right, but she had no right to publicly bash her! And it seems Hallmark rewarded with her by giving her a new mystery!! Jodie definitely needs our prayers!
ReplyDeleteIf Hallmark isn't worrying now they should be - Dream Moms on the main channel came in with a paltry 1.18m viewers overnight.
ReplyDeleteWhen are they going to realise what these should tell them?
But even worse The Jane Mysteries on HMM had disastrous 589k making it only the 101st most watched programme of the day. and the sma;;est HMM audience this year.
I wonder how much the switch to Friday nights was a factor in this? - Florence
Dream Moms-I couldn't finish. I realize I'm in the minority even here, and I'm more conservative than most, but I honestly did not think the dancing was all that family friendly at times. It made me uncomfortable and I decided not to finish it. The story really didn't grab me anyway so I didn't go into it expecting to like it.
