🎄"Wow. My grown up Christmas wish is not only family friendly but deals with a realistic treatment of sacrifice and commitment. Add this one to the military favorites list." ~JoCo
🎄"My Grownup Christmas List is family friendly is about a journalist & a military officer. A journalist named Taylor Nicols is ahead to her Grandpa’s Christmas Store.

Captain Adam Kearney & Captain Luke Malone dress in Military Uniforms & Taylor is a Christmas Bride in Wedding gown. The Christmas movie My Grownup Christmas List is so beautiful Christmas movie that inspired a Christmas song as the same name sung by Amy Grant, Kelly Clarkson, or Michael Babel." ~Anonymous
🎄"My Grown-up Christmas List. Mild spoilers ahead. If you can ignore all the many military faux pas, then this is definitely a family-friendly, cute movie with Christmas warm fuzzies. I loooove Kevin McGarry and I was valiantly trying to ignore all the military missteps and generally enjoying the movie.... until.... Hallmark had to go and throw in a little civilian excursion to a remote, secret, snowed-in, military training base in Eastern Europe (the whole scene was pointless and not necessary for the movie -- hi honey, I just thought I'd pop over and visit since I miss you so much and wanted to kiss you while you're on your dangerous military mission -- eye roll). Seriously, Hallmark?!? That totally blew it for me, I couldn't ignore that bit of silliness like I could ignore all the other stuff. It's like they don't even TRY to inject a semblance of some reality. Cute movie but not worth saving on my dvr, not even for cutie-patootie Kevin. ;) If you're able to ignore the military stuff, then this would be a sweet Christmas movie to watch." ~~Jane
🎄"My Grown-Up Christmas List - Family-friendly? Yes - Keeper? Not for me - I appreciate the uniqueness of this movie, showing a relationship over a period of a few years. But, therein lies the problem. Maybe it's because they had to cram so much into a 90-minute time frame, but it seemed like no sooner did they meet that they were expressing their love for one another. We never see them really getting to know each other and seeing their relationship blossom. And I found it jarring how the two of them are out at night, then a commercial break, then suddenly they're at his house where she's meeting his parents. I don't know, it makes me wonder if there was a lot left on the cutting room floor that didn't make it because of the time constraints. And like Jane said, the whole idea of her going to visit him while he is on a dangerous mission (with his dad's help!) is really far-fetched. One more thing - calling this movie "My Grown-Up Christmas List" after the song is stretching it. This movie has little to do with the lyrics of the song. I was really hoping for a greater tie-in to the song and didn't get it." ~Mark 25
🎄"Yes, there was no arch of swords, but there was a lot of hair on Kevin McGarry which was not a regulation length haircut. At the wedding Luke's awards crooked on his uniform jacket. All-in-all I liked it. Poor Kayla must have been freezing in that wedding dress!" ~Namegirl
🎄" "My Grown-Up Christmas List" – I enjoyed this family-friendly Christmas in July movie; however, like others mentioned, I thought the relationship was quickly rushed in the intro. It really could’ve used one of those filler segments where you see a couple enjoying one another’s company over a longer course of time. Also, the military portion at the end might not have been overly realistic. I agree. However, I liked how Taylor was willing to go to the ends of the earth (figuratively speaking) to be with Luke. It was nice to see how Taylor was supportive of Luke and his military service. No matter the distance, Taylor wanted to wait for Luke and plan their future together. Seeing the day-to-day service and sacrifice of those in the military and those who wait for them back home was extremely touching. The movie was filled with gorgeous snowy scenes and Kevin McGarry in a Santa suit and military uniform. "My Grown-Up Christmas List" is a movie I look forward to re-watching this Christmas season and beyond!" ~Net

Movie Reviews:
🎄 “I watched Christmas in Toyland, and I loved it! Cute, fun, clean, haven't enjoyed a Hallmark movie like this since The Wedding Veil trilogy.” –Maria
🎄 "Christmas in Toyland is family friendly. Charlie Sawyer is a toy store Data Analyst at Big Treddy Bear Toy Company from Planning & Analysis Department who hopes to save hundreds of jobs during the Christmas season. Grant Levinston is a boss at Big Teddy Bear Toy Company. in Lincoln Tunnel, NJ. David is kinda a Christmas Grinch. The Corporate sends Charlie to New Jersey to toy store called; Big Teddy Toy Company. Grant reads a book A Magic Elf Dust by W.J. Levinston with a box of magic dust is kinda a green sprinkles: dark green sugar with a tiny scoop is a magical mythical mysterious magic dust to make wishes. Grant & Charlie are at his Grandpa’s Christmas store called; “Trinket Town”. Grant is a woodcarver to make Santa & Sally Claus prototype from Charlie’s sketch book. Charlie wants to be to design toys. Grant has a Sister named Isabel “Izzy” & his Niece named Emma. Charlie’s drawing toys from herb sketch book." ~Anonymous
🎄 "Watched Christmas in Toyland. So sweet and heartwarming." ~ denise
🎄 "Christmas in Toyland - Family-friendly? Yes - Keeper? Unfortunately No - I really wanted to like this movie! It has toys (yay!), a decent plot, and Vanessa Lengies, who I really enjoyed in Heart of the Holidays. And yes, the movie is family-friendly and cute. So why is it not a keeper for me? I can't get past the storyline and Vanessa's annoying character... If you need a summary of the plot, Anonymous gives a nice one above. Now, given the circumstances, wouldn't you think that she would show up at this store and say something like, "I'm here to see why your store is the one successful store in our chain, because we need to pass on the reasons to the other stores and hope for their success, otherwise, Corporate is going to close all of the stores, including yours?" That would have had him jumping to help her right from the start. But no, she just says she's there to see why his store is successful, nothing more. Of course being the Christmas season, he tells her he doesn't have the time, and she's surprised in his lack of interest. But she tells him the truth later on. Second - and this one really gets me - she seems to have no idea on how to find out why his store is successful. She arrives and wants to look at his books (which, being the data analyst, wouldn't she already have had this information in her office??). It doesn't seem to cross her mind to observe the store in action! And then, about two-thirds into the movie, her friend and co-worker tells her that she should "focus on what he does differently". She replies, "You're right!" I'm sorry, but this character just doesn't come across as the sharpest pencil in the case. Third, she mentions to her boss about this store being a flagship store. Her boss seems shocked and then pleasantly surprised by this idea. Wait, the boss never thought about having a flagship store before? And I don't think they know what having a flagship store means, because even though they decide to have one, they are still going ahead and closing most of their other stores. No, you give the stores a chance to replicate the flagship store. And then of course, what a great idea to have the flagship store in kid-friendly Las Vegas! So much doesn't make sense! And finally, I was getting tired of her puzzlement and her denial and her giggles over liking this guy. She seemed very immature. And both of the main characters came across as stiff. Okay, maybe with so many great Hallmark movies in past years I'm getting overly picky, but in my book Hallmark is 0 for 3 in their Christmas movies this season. As many of us have said before, it's time to put quality over quantity!" ~Mark 25
🎄 "Totally agree with Mark 25. For me, this movie was a cute one-time watch (maybe?), but definitely not a keeper; my time would've been better spent doing a re-watch of one of the older, tried & true Christmas movies I have on dvd or dvr." ~Jane
🎄 "CHRISTMAS IN TOYLAND - I do really liked this one. The female lead was new to me but she was very likable and had a great chemistry with Jesse Hutch. It was a really cute and fun Christmas movie with some cliches mixed in, and it was quite enjoyable to watch." ~CH Mom

Premieres: Sunday, July 31, 2022
Storyline: After historic love letters start anonymously appearing in Kallie Sharp's mailbox, the hobby farmer searches for her secret admirer and opens herself up to love.
Movie Review:
💕✉ "Got the chance to see 14 Love Letters and the good news is that it is definitely family friendly. It seems that the movies Hallmark buy in never quite measure up to their own productions and half way through this seemed to be the case. Basically Kallie (Vanessa Sears) was receiving anonymous historical love letters in her mailbox and had to figure out who was sending them, there was also the subplot of a neighbour wanting to buy her home for the land to set up a riding stable and she didn't want to sell. It was hard to get into and plodded along and then it was as if someone suddenly turned a switch and the movie took off for the second half was really good. I remember Franco Lo Pesti from his UPtv movie The Story Of Love with Brittany Bristow earlier this year and he's certainly a hunk - I thought he and Vanessa Sears whom I was unfamiliar with teamed well. I knew right from the beginning who was sending the letters - or I thought I did - I was wrong!! Overall probably worth a watch. Florence's rating 4 for the first half, 8 for the second so a 6" ~Florence
My Quick Take...
All of the *Christmas in July* movies look like they could be a lot of fun, as long as they are family-friendly. I'm especially looking forward to My Grown-Up Christmas List since it has a military theme. And... maybe, since I like Kevin McGarry, too!!!
Which movie sounds interesting to you? Please share your thoughts on the new July movies in comments below...
Note: I haven't pre-screened these movies. If you like, you can share a movie review in comments after the movie premieres. Thank you!
Also, in July... we will see plenty of familiar faces from previous Hallmark movies, including: Kayla Wallace, Kevin McGarry, Tori Anderson, Corbin Bleu, Vanessa Lengies, Jesse Hutch, Tamera Mowry and more!

Note: I haven't pre-screened these movies. If you like, you can share a movie review in comments after the movie premieres. Thank you!
Blessings to you all, Net
