But when her colleague drops out of the tournament to do a month-long lecture tour in Asia, Celeste's team must adopt Max (Daugherty), the football team's new offensive coordinator.

Celeste can't help but delight in Max's infectious enthusiasm, love for all things Christmas and perhaps most importantly, his comfort with the unknown. And after a romantic wintery night at the campus observatory with Max, Celeste starts to wonder if being open to life's surprises is more important than knowing the answer to everything.

  1. I'll start off by saying: This is seriously still too many movies!

    I read the descriptions, and unless I'm wrong, I don't think there's a single gay led movie on this whole list! That, would seriously be incredible for this network! We have been hoping every year to see them try to go back to their real roots, and not pandering to the wrong audience each year would be a big step back in the right direction!

    No clue on how many I'll watch, but maybe I'll get lucky this year again like last year.

  2. This is actually my 10th year watching this network. And while there's been many up and downs these last 4 years, I still have hope that going into next year that they really try to capture the real magic and spark that they had before 2020. It would be fitting given the political shift that will be happening this November. -Maria

    1. Hey Maria, it is my 10th anniversary for watching the network too. 2014 was my 1st countdown to christmas. The 1st movie I ever saw was Nine Lives of Christmas. I love cats so it drew me in. Then I saw Let it snow and Snow Bride. I think I didn't know about the new movies til Christmas Under Wraps in December. But I started in Nov 2014. I was very HEAVILY into watching HGTV back then. I never changed the channel from that. Til I stumbled on Ambrose and Merrilee in Nine Lives. Thats why those are still some of the beloved movies too me. I loved Starry Christmas back then too. It took me a while to like A Very Merry Mix up.

      Back then, they didnt have enough movies I guess so they played Once Upon and Twice Upon a christmas. It had Kathy Ireland as Santa's daughter. I liked those movies and those days.

      Many of the HMM movies look good, but many HM look like I will miss them. Really, Wil Kemp in another chocolate movie? Chandler massey in another time travel?

      Believe In Christmas looks good. To Have and to Holiday too. Rachel Boston is now Ms Miracle???? She can play a nosy and get in your business character well, but I sure miss Doris Roberts. The lady that played the last ms miracle was good too.

      Confessions of a Christmas letter, maybe cause The Office stars in it.

    2. Nine Lives of Christmas was my very 1st new movie too! And I loved those 2 Once Upon a Christmas movies! -Maria

  3. And may I also say, it is so nice to not see another Mahogny movie (they were nothing but ratings failures anyway) or another Holly movie! (no offense to Lacey and Wes, but those movies were so ridiculous!). -Maria

  4. On paper this looks an absolutely fantastic line-up from Hallmark there must surely be something for everyone

    All our favourite stars are there.

    Caution of course as last year much of what I was looking forward to turned out below par and what I wasn't expecting to enjoy so much turned out be good.

    What catches my eye is:

    A well-deserved lead role for Amy Groening, long overdue.

    Christmas Charade with Rachel Skarsten and Corey Sevier.

    Our Holiday Story with Nikki DeLoach and Warren Beatty - this looks like a more mature movie with some depth.

    Jingle Bell Run with Ashley Williams and Andrew Walker - this one has caught many on the hop, it was kept quiet! - hope it's clean but with AW I think it's likely to be.

    A 90's Christmas with Candler Massey who I love to bits, hope it's better than his last couple but why another time-related one for him?

    The Finnish Line with Kim Matula and Beau Mirchoff, this sounds intriguing.

    The Christmas Quest with Lacey Chabert and Kristoffer Polaha - this one has me both excited and apprehensive.

    Surely, surely. surely after the last couple of poor years they will have come up with a decent script for Lacy.

    And my one big gripe - they have paired my favourite Hallmark actress - Kimberley Sustad - with my least favourite Hallmark actor, the decidedly boring and underwhelming Benjamin Ayres.

    To add insult to injury he's also in a second movie with Daniel Lissing and Erin Krakow -grrrrr.

    Then there a couple of same sex relationships to be avoided - Sugarplummed plus a Jonathan Bennett movie on one of the other Hallmark channels.

    I'm not sure about Holiday Mismatch on this front.

    I'm hopeful for this year's batch but we'll find out in due course - Florence

    3. From what I’ve gathered sugarplums is not a LGBTQ movie

  5. Okay, some sound good, but not as many as last year.

    Rachel Boston is Mrs. Miracle? That was unexpected. Not quite what I was picturing.

    Also, good for Amy Groening getting her lead in "Twas the Date Before Christmas"! Finally!

    I’m probably alone, but I’m just not sure about Lacey and Kristoffer. He looks like her older brother to me.

  6. Aside from the football ones and the Hanukkah ones, majority of these sound really good! I am especially interested in the storylines that seem to have a little mystery hidden within the scripts. I’m not going to complain about there being too many movies because I would rather have too many than not enough. It is my choice to choose what I record/watch so if one doesn’t interest me, I simply won’t watch it. I never have time to watch all of the holiday movies and they end up lasting me until at least summer of the next year, which is fine with me. But I have to say, as much as I love Rachel Boston, I don’t know if she can do Mrs Miracle justice….

  7. I think that Kris and Lacey will make a lovely on screen couple but i understand you. With all those plastic surgeries i've always thought Damon Runyan was too old for Danica. Now i know she is actually a year older than him but she looks so cute and youthful and he looks at least 10 years older than her.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I'm questioning Hallmark's morale, describing a lying as a harmless fun (Holiday Crashers)? I know it's pretty recurring thing in Hallmark movies - lying about all sorts of things but i would prefer if they would've described it differently.

    So, i have 9 movies on my list, that's not bad. I've only focused on movies with actors i know and like. I'm looking forward the most to Santa tell me and Believe in Christmas.

    1. Chris, Yes, the Day Spring Christmas movie this year is actually airing on the Hallmark Channel.

      You can see the description above. It's near the end of the list.

      The storyline has a lot of similarities to the Great American Family movie, "The Christmas Star."

    2. While we are on the subject of reviews, I would like to be serious for a minute and make a request that I have made in the past, but I think it bears repeating.

      When we review a movie, can we please, please, PLEASE just focus on the movie itself and not give any consideration to 1) what network the movie is airing on and b) who is starring in the movie. There have been times when a movie has been labeled good (or better) or bad (or worse) solely because of where it has aired (GAF, Hallmark, Lifetime, etc.). Also, there have been times where a movie has been labeled solely because it has an actor/actress we particularly like or dislike. To review a movie by focusing on anything other the movie itself does a disservice to those who are looking at our reviews to determine whether it is worth watching or not.

      But to be clear, I am not saying that we should ignore any immorality or likewise that may be in the movie - not at all. That should always be a consideration! But to focus on only the network or only the actor/actress and ignore the movie itself - that is wrong.

      Please know that I say this only with the intent of making what is already a great site perhaps just a tiny bit better. That's all!

      Okay, I will get off my soapbox now!

      Delete
    3. Well said, Mark 25.

      The one thing I would say is that if you particularly like an actor you are probably more inclined to like a movie they're in - that's human nature - Florence

      Delete
    4. Just my 2 cents, Mark. But I find that if an actor one likes actually chooses to be in an movie (producing it even!) that has inappropriate content in it, it's a bit hard to look past that in future films! Especially if that actor keeps on being in movies that has bad content in it!

      I can name several Hallmark actors that I never had to be paranoid about before 2020, but guess what? They kept on willingly doing movies that go against what family friendly stands for, and now I have to be cautious or just straight up avoid whatever movie they make because odds are, the movie will be bad.

      Do I hope 1 day they stop doing those bad movies? Yes! But based on their continued political beliefs, I doubt that'll happen anytime soon. -Maria

      Delete
    5. I agree, Florence, and yet I feel that we should really try to disassociate the actors from the movie when giving our reviews. As some may know I am a huge fan of Laura Osnes, but I panned her movie from last year. I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but...

      Delete
    6. Mark 25, I absolutely agree! Although, I must admit, it's harder to do with some actors, but I always try to do my best to think of those people as their character and not who they are in real-life.

      I can think of one or two Christmas movies last year that had an actor/actress in it that I really like, and I was hopeful that I would enjoy their movie, but once I watched it, I simply wasn't impressed. Their acting was fine, but the story just didn't really hold my interest as I had hoped.

      Thank you, Thank you, Mark, for your interest in making the movie review page even better this year; I'm truly appreciative of the time you and every one here takes to contribute to it throughout the busy Christmas season.

      Delete
    7. Mark 25-thank you for this, I agree with you as well. I actually ended up watching both of the movies last weekend with an actress I don't exactly agree with in choices, but the movies were clean and well done. I would like to add that for those of us who are Christians here, I think we need to be a good witness and not so critical and judging of actors who do not share our views. A better response would simply be to pray for them to be convicted and turn to the Lord. It has been uosetting to me to read such bashing on this site. I have extremely conservative Christian views (I don't even watch PG13) but I do not want to join in the harsh condemnation of actors who are lost, I'd rather pray for them and not judge. -LR

    8. All right, Mark 25, since you stepped off the soapbox, can I get on it now and make my yearly request? (Net, don't you just love how we take over your site?!?) 🀣🀣 My yearly request is please, please, please sign your reviews. Please?! You don't have to use your real name, make up a fun name or something like "Elf #1" or "Movie Momma" or "Movie Princess" or "Sugar Cookie" or whatever. Since we all have different taste in movies and we come from different perspectives, it is EXTREMELY helpful when reviews are signed. I respect everyone's differing movie opinions and thoughts but we don't always agree on what is entertaining or funny or sweet. After a while of reading all these reviews, you come to know with whose opinions you most usually agree, and it makes it easier to decide what to watch. But that is not true when the reviews are not signed. So, please....?

      And Mark 25, I'll try to be good this year and follow your suggestions (but does this mean neither one of us can say anything about Christopher Russell?? 🀣).

      ~~Jane (p.s. - I'm thinking about changing my name on here to Sugar Cookie or Gingerbread Girl or Snow Angel. LOL)

    9. Friends, these recent Christmas movie announcements have me feeling that fun anticipation! For months, I've only felt well enough to enjoy scrolling posts and comments, but I'm hoping to help review for some of Hallmark's Christmas movie deluge and (hopefully) Lifetime's, even if it's just a note on family-friendliness when I can't gather thoughts enough to comment more.
      I like your philosophy, Mark 25, and look forward to everyone's comments this year!

      Jane, your reviews could put an even bigger smile on my face if you were to begin signing them as "Jane-gle Bells" or "Jane-gle All the Way!" :-D

    10. Jane (aka Sugar Cookie aka Gingerbread Girl aka Snow Angel) - I agree, I would love to see more people use a name rather than Anonymous for all the reasons you said.

      And yes, we must be careful about our Christopher Russell comments, otherwise we will be incurring the wrath of Net (and we know what that is like)! ;)
      (FYI - I actually praised a couple of his recent performances!)

    11. LR, I 100% agree! It is hard to read the comments posted on here sometimes….a simple “I will not be watching this film” would be sufficient, instead of judging, using poor language etc.

      And Mark, I totally agree with your suggestion! And I will try my best to not be biased in my reviews.

    12. Jane! You crack me up πŸ˜‚
      I am joining in on Christopher Russel; I mentioned last time that I see him everywhere but a milk carton and it’s just too much for me! So if I do choose to watch a movie with him, I feel like I am already annoyed from the beginning so I need to just skip his altogether.

    13. Jane, I love that idea with the creative Christmassy names and all! That's such a fun idea! I was grinning from ear to ear as I read your comment!!! I will definitely be sure to mention that when I post the movie review page this year.

      And, please know, I love everyone participating and giving suggestions! It's one BIG happy family here!!! :)

    14. Jane,

      I love the Christmas names. I will be Toasty Christmas Mittens since my favorite cats name is Mittens :) Or Buffalo Plaid Mittens since I do love the buffalo plaid decor and got a shower curtain recently thats a buffalo plaid with mittens on it. I love decorating the bathroom for the different holidays.

    15. LR, Well said! I know we all have different views on various actors, and frankly, if most of us watched solely based on who we really like, the list of movies would likely be pretty short.

      Thank you for sharing this positive, uplifting perspective! :)

    16. Mark 25, Okay, I just found some time now to respond, as I've been extra busy heading up the Christopher Russell fan club page and all. Just Kidding!!! LOL!!!

      Anyway, I do like some of Christopher's movies here and there; however, I wasn't a fan recently of "A Costa Rican Wedding" or either of his Christmas movies last year, "The Secret Gift of Christmas" and "Peppermint and Postcards."

      But I did think "Operation Nutcracker" was fun (minus some talk about the universe making things happen); plus, I like "Warming Up to You," "Love in the Forecast," "The Most Colorful Time of the Year," and "A Lot Like Christmas"!

      So... it's a mix for me. I don't necessarily love any movie based on WHO is in it.

      I mean, I mostly love Candace's Christmas movies, but I still don't like "If I Only Had Christmas." First, the title sounded somewhat sad, as if someone were dying. And then on paper, I was so thrilled that she was going to be paired with Warren Christie (Morgan from "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"). But the story, well... it just didn't grab me, personally, and I just didn't feel that special spark between the two of them.

      Overall, I think it's good to give an honest opinion, in a constructive, thoughtful way.

      Delete
    17. Alicia, Oh, honey... it's so extra good to hear from you! I always look forward to hearing your thoughtful Christmas movie reviews, but if you have to keep it simple this year, we will all understand. Just having you here means so much! :)

      Your suggestion for Jane to use "Jane-gle Bells" or "Jane-gle All the Way" is so creative.

      Blessings to you! Take care, Sweetie! :)

    18. Hey! Ya’ll crack me up! Glad to hear Net is keeping busy managing the Christopher Russell fan club for us! And Sassy Starbucks Girl with the “everywhere but a milk carton” comment almost had me spitting out my tea! Sabrina, I adore kitty cats and Toasty Christmas Mittens is such a sweet name (and I agree buffalo plaids are so cozy on flannel shirts and blankets – I don’t think I’ve ever seen a b.p. shower curtain but one with b.p. as well as mittens sounds very “winter-cabin” cozy chic and inviting!). Mark 25, I did happen to see your review for Operation Nutcracker and your glowing accolades for Mr. Russell (and his, finally, lower-wattage smile😊); and because of your review I’ve decided to give it a go whenever they air it again. And, Alicia, you are absolutely the sweetest thing and I’m so sorry you’ve not been doing well. I always look forward to your reasoned, articulate and thoughtful reviews at Christmastime. But this year don’t stress, just enjoy some cozy Christmas movies and only do a review if you’re feeling up to it; the rest of us will try and fill in the gap and provide reviews (and I’ll attempt to be sweet like you and not so much my usual snarky s-elf πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ…).

  12. I have to admit I am wondering about “Sugarplummed”. There are no male leads mentioned and the phrase about it leading them on a “heartwarming adventure-one that might just amount to an entirely different kind of Christmastime perfection” makes me think this could not be family friendly.

      It feels like they ran out of pronouns to do another Time to come home. I did like them, I haven't watched the last one yet and for some reason I cannot ever get into the one with Lacey.
