To start off this year, the Hallmark Channel premiered FIVE NEW ORIGINAL MOVIES as part of *WINTERFEST*!
Please share "YOUR TAKE" on this recent block of Original TV movies in comments below by answering these Two Questions... (you can choose more than one!)
1. Which "WINTERFEST" movie did you like/love the most?
2. Which "WINTERFEST" movie poster (above) do you like best?
And, if you're curious which Winterfest movie won me over?
1.) Well..... I thought they were all pretty great, but my top favorite from this Winterfest is "Winter Castle." There was just something about that ice castle that I found completely mesmerizing, plus Emilie Ullerup and Kevin McGarry were perfect together! So cute!
As we are experiencing our own frigid temperatures now, I'm not sure the idea of staying at a Winter Castle sounds appealing, but it was truly enchanting on screen!
2.) My favorite poster from Winterfest is "Winter Love Story;" it just looks so warm and cozy! The crackling fire in the background with a good book is the ideal image for this cold winter's day! Plus, Jen Lilley and Kevin McGarry were exceptionally wonderful together, as well!
Also, I think the poster for "A Winter Princess" is lovely, too! I only wish we could see more of her gorgeous dress!
Looking forward to hearing your favorites from Winterfest!
Today, July 25th, marks FIVE MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY!!!! Here at *It's a Wonderful Movie* we are celebrating *Christmas in July* ALL Month Long! According to the Countdown Clock, at the bottom of this page, today is 93 days until October 27th, the day Christmas movies begin once again on the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and 152 days until actual Christmas day!!!
While in discussion with one of the visitors here, Mark, regarding a shared interest in a Hallmark Christmas movie, one we both enjoy, but isn't quite as popular as many others... Mark asked if I might inquire from all of you of any *Christmas Movie Treasures* you may know of... perhaps something unique or sentimental to you, that may or may not be well known, or often shown, and is definitely not as popular, as say "It's a Wonderful Life," "White Christmas," "Miracle on 34th Street," etc...
Whatever Christmas show you share - it can be a Theater movie, TV movie, cartoon, or special, etc... There's only one main requirement - it must be family friendly!
My Christmas Treasures...
I am going to start it off by sharing three!
1.) I absolutely love the heartwarming, nearly 30 minute special of a much older Jimmy Stewart (of "It's a Wonderful Life"), who spends Christmas all alone in "Mr. Krueger's Christmas," and yet, still finds joy in the true meaning of Christmas! It's truly, without a doubt, one of the most touching shows I have ever seen... tugs at every heart string!
2.) For my second choice, I decided to choose a Christmas special that I hold so dear... it's "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." It's a children's version of the nativity pageant that is traditionally held each year, but this time around when the rowdy Herdman siblings, who've never even been to church before, get involved - it becomes a Christmas pageant the adults and children alike, never forget! This precious story will lift your spirit and warm your heart... it's a true Christmas treasure!
"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" - watch video here:
3.) There are several classic Christmas movies that I love, but I'll just mention one today... "Love Finds Andy Hardy!" Mickey Rooney plus Judy Garland - what more can I say? Well, plenty! It's a delicious piece of Americana hometown apple pie at Christmastime! Simply delightful, old-fashioned, and downright captivating! When Andy Hardy (portrayed by Mickey Rooney) has too many dates for the upcoming Christmas dance, it's quite a mixed-up mess! And, when Judy Garland sings - it's the most loveliest Christmas!!!
