Jill Wagner stars in the classic Christmas movie...

"Christmas Wishes & Mistletoe Kisses"

Storyline via Hallmark: Former interior designer Abbey Fuller can’t resist the opportunity to redecorate businessman Nick Sinclair’s grand family estate. But her challenge involves more than furniture, paint and a tight Christmas Eve deadline. The real conundrum is Nick, a buttoned-up workaholic who surprises Abbey, and himself, when he begins to reveal the kind, thoughtful man beneath the polished façade.

Jill Wagner and Cindy Busby are two of my favorite actresses on Hallmark! I've had the pleasure of interviewing both of them; they were both so down to earth and sweet. (You can see my past interview with Jill Wagner - here and Cindy Busby - here.)

Some of my favorite Jill Wagner Hallmark movies are "Autumn Dreams," "Christmas Cookies," "Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa," "Pearl in Paradise," "Christmas Wishes & Mistletoe Kisses," "The Angel Tree," and of course, "Mystery 101!"

And my favorite Cindy Busby Hallmark movies are "Unleashing Mr. Darcy," "Royal Hearts," "Wedding March 5: My Boyfriend's Back," "A Godwink Christmas: Meant for Love," and "Love in the Forecast!"

The Miracles of Christmas

A surprise gift from Ryder convinces Corey to attend a holiday soiree at the Donnelly estate. When Corey sees Ryder at her Christmas Pageant, she reaches a crossroads.

Oliver hires Angela as his personal tour guide but gets far more than he bargained for, as a romance blooms between them amidst the backdrop of Rome at Christmastime and he must learn that life and business work differently in Italy.

I must say... this week there are many wonderful options each night for Christmas movie viewing!

On this February 25th, as we continue to "Countdown to Christmas" and *Mark the 25th* day of each month, I can hardly believe 2 whole months have passed since Christmas day, bringing us now to 10 months until Christmas DAY 2020, and even less (approximately 8 months!) until Christmas movies play 24/7 - around the clock!

So... Ho! Ho! Ho!
*Merry Mark the 25th*, Everyone!
Only 10 months to go!

Until then, we can look forward to three delightfully festive Christmas movies airing this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night - with such great casts!

Here are the CHRISTMAS MOVIES we can see this week on ALL THREE HALLMARK NETWORKS...

🌟🌟🌟

Hallmark Drama's
"Home for the Holidays"
classic Christmas movie presentation is...
"Northpole"
on Wednesday, February 26th at 9pm/8c..

Storyline via Hallmark: “Northpole” tells the charming tale about a reporter who, with the help of her son and his teacher, recaptures the joy of the holiday season and in the process saves Christmas.

As the first full-length, two-hour original holiday movie that Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Cards, Inc. have created together, “Northpole” is a magically thrilling holiday adventure never been seen before on the network that will employ state-of-the-art CGI technology taking viewers right into the enchanting and vibrant world of Santa Claus and Christmas magic.

Santa’s magical home, Northpole, is real and greater than anyone has ever imagined, yet this wondrous place is in trouble as a loss of togetherness and Christmas spirit spreads across the globe. Who can help save the cherished traditions of Christmas? One young boy might be able to if he can convince his overly protective mom to open up and rediscover the magic every holiday season bestows. With the help of his teacher and a mischievous elf from Northpole, Kevin is bound and determined to win over his mom and prove that one small voice can change the hearts of many in this big world.

Tiffani Thiessen plays reporter “Chelsea” whose son “Kevin” (Max Charles) takes it upon himself to reinvigorate the spirit of Christmas. The boy’s efforts are powered by free-spirited Elf from the North, “Clementine” (Bailee Madison) and by Kevin’s teacher, Ryan (Josh Hopkins), who believes anything is possible when one dedicates heart and soul to the effort.


*"Northpole" is available to order on DVD!

🌟🌟🌟

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries
"Miracles of Christmas"
classic Christmas movie presentation is
"A Godwink Christmas: Meant for Love"
on Thursday, February 27th at 9pm/8c.

Storyline via Hallmark: Storyline via Hallmark: Multiple coincidences and a chance meeting bring Alice and Jack, two strangers from very different family backgrounds, together for a weekend wedding celebration. What follows is a completely unexpected Christmastime courtship filled with personal revelations, misread signals, and a very real health scare that will either destroy or strengthen the budding romance.

*Based on: Godwinks book series by SQuire Rushnell and Louise DuArt

🌟🌟🌟

Hallmark Channel's
"Countdown to Christmas"
classic Christmas movie presentation is
"Christmas in Evergreen: Tidings of Joy"
on Friday, February 28th at 10pm/9c.

Storyline via Hallmark: As the town searches for a rumored Christmas Time Capsule, a skeptical writer arrives in Evergreen to get the story on the town's "too-good-to-be-true" Christmas-fever.

Novelist Katie meets Ben en route to picturesque Evergreen, where her holiday retreat is interrupted by an assignment to write an article about the town. Though Katie is skeptical about the town’s love of Christmas, she’s enchanted by Evergreen and Ben. Katie and Ben grow closer while enjoying Evergreen’s Christmas traditions, and even help unearth a time capsule hidden 50 years ago. Meanwhile, inn owner Hannah struggles to confess feelings for a long-time friend, and town mayor Michelle is happier than ever in her relationship. As Christmas approaches, Evergreen’s holiday magic holds promise and hope for each unique love story.

🌟🌟🌟

Hope you enjoy all the Christmas move options this week! I personally love all three of these! If possible, I hope to catch them all!

Northpole - I just love all the magic and wonder of this adventure to save Santa and Christmas! What a sweet little movie! My favorite scene is the lighting of the Christmas tree... "Merry Christmas to all... and to all a Good LIGHT!"

A Godwink Christmas: Meant for Love - I was instantly mesmerized by this delightful love story, that was filled with inspiration, family and faith. This is such a beautiful movie where chance meetings, also known as Godwinks, become more than just a happenstance, that was obviously meant to be!

Christmas in Evergreen: Tidings of Joy - There's something so charming and warm about this close-knit town! With it's perfectly decorated main street of Christmas garlands, bows, and lights... you instantly feel that welcoming Holiday Spirit! Plus, the magical red truck, a snow globe that grants wishes, and a life-size countdown calendar are all really cool, in addition to the awesome all-star cast!

What is your Christmas movie pick of the week?

Here at "It's a Wonderful Movie" we highlight every 25th day of the month - TOGETHER! - as we countdown to Christmas! You can also join along!
