The Christmas Heart
Hallmark Crown Media Family Networks

Storyline via Hallmark: In "The Christmas Heart," the tight knit neighbors on Arthur Avenue have proudly been lighting Christmas luminaries for 40 years, but that long-standing tradition is cancelled this year when Matt Norman, a boy in the neighborhood, is hospitalized and desperately needs a heart transplant. A donor is found, and Life Flight quickly gets the heart airborne on Christmas Eve, fighting a winter storm with no time left to lose. The neighborhood lights the luminaries in honor of Matt and his family, and their loving exhibition turns out to be the miracle that save's Matt's life.

Rocky Mountain Christmas
Hallmark Crown Media Family Networks

Storyline via Hallmark: A broken-hearted New York interior designer retreats to her family’s dude ranch in Colorado for the holidays, but the arrival of a movie star who wants to learn how to ride and wrangle for his next film changes everything, as the unlikely pair find common ground and a romantic spark that begs to be fanned.

🌟🌟🌟

Hallmark Channel's
"Countdown to Christmas"
classic Christmas movie feature is
"With Love, Christmas"
on Friday, April 17th at 8pm/7c.

Rocky Mountain Christmas
Hallmark Crown Media Family Networks

Storyline via Hallmark: Advertising execs Melanie Welsh and Donovan Goodwin disagree on a cellphone Christmas commercial they’re pitching. He says his sleek design will win over the client but she knows it lacks holiday spirit. Christmas is definitely in Melanie’s wheelhouse, but when she draws Donovan’s name for Secret Santa, she’s at a loss. He’s even more minimalist than his advertising style. Determined to give Donovan and their commercial holiday joy, Melanie tries to get to know him via a Secret Santa email. She also takes him to a Christmas tree farm for a crash course in holiday cheer. As they work together, Donovan slowly opens up to Melanie, and she begins to fall for him. What she doesn’t know is he’s her Secret Santa too! As they create the perfect commercial, they also realize they might be perfect partners as well.

🌟🌟🌟

May you enjoy all of the Christmas movies airing this week!


MY PICK of the Week:

"Rocky Mountain Christmas" AND "With Love, Christmas!"

However, I do like the end of "The Christmas Heart," which is a beautiful reminder to follow the light!

As for "Rocky Mountain Christmas," there's the handsome Kristoffer Polaha, gorgeous horses and the beautiful great outdoors! What's not to like? Plus, my absolute favorite part is when the parade begins and we can hear Alan Jackson singing in the background, "Let it be Christmas!"

My other pick, "With Love, Christmas," is definitely one of those feel good Hallmark Christmas movies that is lighthearted and heartwarming, too! It's a movie that always uplifts my spirit, especially when Donovan opens up his heart again to Christmas!

I hope you also open up your heart to Christmas this week! May it fill you up - with joy and peace!

I hope you enjoy watching "Christmas in Angel Falls" and "With Love, Christmas" this week!

First up, "Christmas in Angel Falls," from 2017, has two of Hallmark's well loved actors: Paul Greene ("When Calls the Heart") and Rachel Boston ("The Last Bridesmaid"). Watching these two "possibly" fall in love is so sweet. My favorite scene is when Rachel's character, Gabby, in a moment of uncertainty and desperation, remains still and quietly says The Lord's Prayer. What a powerful moment, a turning point in the film that is truly impactful.

I hope you'll enjoy watching this Christmas movie Thursday night, but the story does not end there, a sequel premieres this Christmas with Jen Lilley and Carlo Marks! Look for "Angel Falls: A Novel Holiday," currently premiering December 13, 2019 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

Starring Emilie Ullerup from "Chesapeake Shores," the Christmas movie "With Love, Christmas," also from 2017, is a delightful Hallmark rom-com and a bit of a mystery, at least for the two main characters, Melanie and Donovan, who are trying to determine who their Secret Santa might be! What a fun, sweet story!

Be sure to check the Christmas Movie List or Christmas TV Schedule to see when your favorite Christmas movies are airing this Holiday Season!

UPDATE: I'm also noticing there might be another little Christmas schedule change for both Hallmark networks. Stay tuned for further details!

Happy Thanksgiving!


Here Comes Santa Claus!!!

Of course, Thanksgiving morning on TV always begins with...
The Thanksgiving Day Parade!

My favorite part is always when Santa comes (finally) at the end waving to the crowds of cheering spectators who line the parade route to get a glimpse of jolly Old Saint Nicholas waving back at them! I just love when he gives that twinkle in his eyes, shakes his belly "like a bowl full of jelly," and "lays his finger aside his nose"! After that, it truly feels like the Christmas season is officially here!!!

The Mistletoe Inn

Storyline via Hallmark: When aspiring romance novelist Kim Rossi (Alicia Witt) is unceremoniously dumped by her soon-to-be-published romance novelist boyfriend, Garth (Casey Manderson), Kim takes stock and decides to take a leap. She signs up for a romance writing retreat at a quaint Vermont Inn shortly before Christmas, where a top romance novelist is scheduled to attend. Shortly after arriving, she crosses paths with...

Anne of Green Gables: The Good Stars

(I'm not sure if this movie is Holiday related in any way, but I'm sure this is something your entire family will enjoy!)

Storyline via Breakthrough Entertainment: (via Lucy Maud Montgomery online) When Anne Shirley turns thirteen, she faces complex issues with her friends, inspirational adults and Marilla and Matthew. At the same time, she begins a friendship with Gilbert Blythe that emotionally escalates to disrupt the status quo of her peaceful world. Her free-spirited nature is challenged by her perceived need to become sensible, and her journey toward this goal is fraught with confusion and more than a few unfortunate – albeit, amusing – mishaps. Through school events and playtime after class, Anne continues to... Click Here to Read More...

Instrument of War

Storyline via BYU press release: Instrument of War is an original scripted holiday television special inspired by first-hand accounts of WWII bomber pilot Clair Cline, an American B-24 pilot captured and held as Prisoner of War (POW) in a German prison camp, Stalag Luft I. After being shot down over Nazi-occupied Holland during a bombing mission, Cline and the surviving members of his crew struggled to keep themselves psychologically sound while living in captivity under the rule of a ruthless Commandant. To resist helplessness and bitterness that plagued POWs, Cline, a self-taught musician, crafted a violin from bunk bed slats, the leg of a chair, dried glue from the bottom of chairs and a shard of glass as a wood carving tool.

This year’s audience for the parade promises to be in the millions, thanks to a national morning show that has chosen Green River as the site of its Christmas Eve day program.
