After opening a 100-year-old time capsule and meeting a charming chef, Lou (Sparks) questions whether or not she should move to New York after Christmas and further her writing career.
I’m planning to watch/record all the new Christmas movies above. I was going to choose three favorites, but seriously, I just couldn't narrow it down. Here are my thoughts on all the new ones this weekend...
πGingerbread Miracle on the Hallmark Channel-
Hope it's just as sweet as the poster looks! Love the gingerbread theme!
πThe Great Christmas Switch on GAC Family -
Love a fun twin switch places story, a la the classic, "The Parent Trap!"
πChristmas With A Prince: The Royal Baby on UPtv -
It's the third movie in the series - can't wait to see the adorable royal baby!
πNext Stop, Christmas on the Hallmark Channel -
This movie has a "Back to the Future" mini reunion with a time travel story - I'm so there!
πA Christmas Treasure on the Hallmark Channel -
This story centered around a historic time capsule sounds intriguing and captivating. Perhaps, it will also involve a little mystery, too, along with Jordin Sparks beautiful singing!
πDebbie Macomber’s A Mrs. Miracle Christmas on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries -
It's delightful to see the continuation of the "Mrs. Miracle" series! This one looks emotional and comical, too! While I'm looking forward to this, I do wish they could've played one of the original "Mrs. Miracle" movies with the incredible, Doris Roberts, to honor her memory before this new premiere. She was a wonderful first Mrs. Miracle, and I will always treasure her in that role. I am curious to see how they will carry on the series with this new movie. Will there be any link or mention of the original? I sure hope so!
Would love to know your thoughts, too, on the new movies in comments below.
