Happy 8 Months until Christmas Day!

In addition to it being just 8 months until Christmas Day, we’re now around 6 months away from the start of the Christmas movie season!

Saturday, April 25th, is that special time again… to “Mark the 25th” day of the month with a cozy Christmas movie! If you're planning to join in, I'd love to know which movie you are choosing. It can be a new movie, a classic movie, something you love, or something you've never seen. Please share your Christmas movie pick in comments below. (And the Christmas movies airing Friday night can count, too!)

I decided my “Mark the 25th” choice will be the classic Hallmark Channel movie, A Boyfriend for Christmas, starring Kelli Williams and Patrick Muldoon. I chose this movie in honor of the recent, sudden passing of Patrick Muldoon, which is still so hard to believe, and because this movie has always held a special place in my heart.

A Boyfriend for Christmas premiered in 2004, when there were only about 3 or 4 new Christmas premieres on the Hallmark Channel during the holiday season, so each movie was truly special. It felt like everyone who loves Christmas was marking their calendar, too, and watching with you. Streaming wasn't available then, so ratings were much higher. And this movie did not disappoint - it was funny, festive, family-friendly, and yes, there's a fake-boyfriend, Douglas Firwood, who Patrick Muldoon portrays perfectly! I've probably seen this movie hundreds of times since, and it never disappoints - it always puts a smile on my face!

I have many favorite lines from the movie, but here are two I especially love:

Ryan Hughes (AKA Douglas Firwood): I may be difficult to exchange without a receipt.

Holly Grant: That's okay, I think I'll keep you!


I hope whatever Christmas movie you choose... also brings joy to you! Please share your pick in comments below.

When Hope Calls: Brookfield

Season 3 - Episode 4

Season 3 - Episode 4:

Premieres Sunday, April 26, 2026

at 8pm/7c on Great American Family

*******************************


Weekend Thoughts...

The new episode of When Hope Calls: Brookfield is one you'll definitely want to *catch*! The new pastor teaches the children to play baseball, and Mountie Michael appears to be a little jealous of the new minister spending extra time with Nora.

Also, I sure hope we will all enjoy Tyler Hynes’ new movie, I'll Be Seeing You, premiering this weekend!

Hopefully, some of you have also had the chance to see the touching videos Tyler recently shared on Instagram. If not, I've included them below. It has been so heartwarming to see the genuine respect and admiration Tyler shows for the legendary Christine Ebersole, who portrays a grandmother in his new movie. They also previously worked together on Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, and it was Tyler's wish for them to reunite on screen again!

What a wonderfully talented and accomplished actress Christine Ebersole is! Her acting credits (as seen on IMDb) date back to the 1970s, and she has appeared in countless films, television movies, and series over the years. And my goodness... what a spectacular singing voice she has, too! I’m so glad these two were able to work together again on this movie and, hopefully, many more!

Tyler's video below highlights their time working on both movies - Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, and I'll Be Seeing You, and even a trip to the grocery store!

And this video from Tyler Hynes is such a touching tribute to why he so wanted to make this new movie... (warning: tissues may be required!)

Also, Hallmark hasn't officially announced, yet, but in case you haven't heard, earlier this month Tyler Hynes filmed a new Christmas movie for Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas 2026 with Laci J. Mailey (Chesapeake Shores, A Little Park Music) titled The Christmas Loop. In this new holiday movie, Tyler Hynes plays a character trapped in a Christmas Eve loop who falls for a woman. More details to come!

And... more Christmas-related news for Tyler... the Hallmark stores are releasing a brand new Tyler Hynes Christmas ornament. Last year's release was Lacey Chabert.

Tyler Hynes's ornament can't be purchased yet through the Hallmark store/website - it will be released on October 10th.

Lacey Chabert's ornament (from 2025) is no longer available through the Hallmark shop website; however, there are several purchase options through Ebay - click here for price and more details.

You can see the new 2026 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Dream Book - click here.


I hope you'll enjoy dreaming with me! So many sweet new ornaments! Anything with Charlie Brown always catches my eye, and I love that Hallmark is honoring the 80th Anniversary of the classic film It's a Wonderful Life with a lovely new ornament featuring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed! I would love to know... which ornaments do like best?

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend... full of joy and happiness! As always, thank you for spending a little of your time here... your visits truly mean so much.

If you'd like to share a review for any of the programming this weekend or any previous weekend... please feel free to share in comments.

Blessings to You All!

Adam is ambitious and wants to move up in the world, but he takes this question to heart as the holidays approach. He discovers Robbie's mom, Lucy (Mowry-Housley), is a single parent working hard to take care of her son. The last thing she needs is anything complicating a very busy schedule, including Adam. As new friendships form and Adam gains a healthy perspective, his reporting changes. He starts covering feel-good stories about hometown heroes during the holidays. A romance develops between Adam and Lucy, and Lucy lets go of always being so self-reliant as she and Adam draw close. But when Adam's reporting leads to bigger opportunities, he must decide what matters most this holiday season – the bigger job he has been longing for or his newfound community, including the love of a boy who thinks of Adam as his hero."

The Brothers are Back: All New "Three Wise Men" Movie Coming to the Hallmark Channel this Christmas

During tonight's airing of "Unwrapping Christmas: Mia’s Prince," Hallmark revealed that an all-new "Three Wise Men" movie starring Andrew Walker, Tyler Hynes, and Paul Campbell titled "Three Wisest Men" is coming this Christmas season to Countdown to Christmas. This is the third movie in the "Three Wise Men" series.

Andrew Walker recently shared on social media that he would be filming soon, so it's possible he was referring to this movie.

Hallmark shared this memorable scene of the Wise brothers doing their festive dance. I have a feeling it will somehow be included in the third movie, as well.

The Brenner brothers are back to celebrate another holiday season with some dance moves! Get ready for #ThreeWisestMen starring @AWALK35, @tyler_hynes & @ThePaulCampbell. #ChristmasInJuly 🎄 pic.twitter.com/KU6aDqHV7w

So... did you watch any of these Christmas movies over the holiday season?

My pick of these three Christmas movies is Santa Tell Me since it's a true romantic-comedy. It's lighthearted and hilarious, with a great cast of supporting characters. Was it my #1 pick of ALL the Christmas movies for the 2024 holiday season? No, but it was still an enjoyable watch; it's one that I would watch again when I need a good laugh-out-loud laugh!

I'd love to know your thoughts on these movies, as well. Ratings, of course, do not equate whether a movie was likeable. So, did you like/love/dislike these three movies? Do you have a favorite of the three?

Please share your thoughts in comments below.

Happy movie-watching!

Hallmark Media announces to their Christmas Movie fans on the first day of the NFL football season...

Save the date for kickoff! 🏈 🎄

"Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story," starring Tyler Hynes and Hunter King, will premiere Saturday, Nov 30 at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel as part of Countdown To Christmas!

Storyline: “Hunter King plays Alana Higman, who’s sure that her family’s lifelong history as Kansas City Chiefs superfans makes them a frontrunner to win the team’s ‘Fan of the Year’ contest. Tyler Hynes stars as Derrick (Hynes), Director of Fan Engagement, who is tasked with evaluating how Alana and her family stack up against the other two finalists. As the pair spends time together, it’s clear there’s a spark between them but when her grandfather’s (Ed Begley Jr.) vintage Chiefs, good luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick – unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary.”
