…they aren't just for Christmas anymore!
“A Timeless Christmas” was one of the movies on my list of movies I was looking forward to – it starred Erin Cahill, a leading lady I’m growing quite fond of with every movie I see her in, and Ryan Paevey, who’s growing on me as well. Add in director…
“Christmas in Vienna,” a movie that was filmed almost a year ago in pre-COVID shutdown times, aired on November 14, 2020. It starred Sarah Drew and the ever-popular Brennan Elliott. And yes, the movie was partially filmed in Vienna, Austria. Additional footage was taken in Bucharest, Romania. And it was…
“The Christmas Bow” aired on November 8, 2020. It starred violinist and actress Lucia Micarelli and Hallstar (and one of my personal faves) Michael Rady. It was filmed in Provo, Utah. Clare Niederpruem directed the movie, having jumped on the Hallmark train in 2019 with such movies as Love, Fall…
“Christmas With the Darlings” aired on November 8, 2020. It starred Katrina Law and Carlo Marks and was filmed in Vancouver, Canada. Catherine Cyran directed the movie, and while I didn’t recognize her name when it scrolled by during the credits, she directed last year’s “The Christmas Duet” and A…
“Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater” aired on November 7 2020. It starred Hallstars Ashley Williams and Niall Matter, with principal photography taking place in British Columbia, Canada.

“On the 12th Date of Christmas” aired on November 1, 2020.

In fact, the Devonshire Hotel in the movie was portrayed by the gorgeous Fort Garry Hotel. Christine…
“Cranberry Christmas” aired on October 31, 2020. It starred Nikki Deloach and Benjamin Ayres, with principal photography taking place this past summer in British Columbia, Canada. The screenplay was provided by Joie Botkin, who has been writing Hallmark screenplays since 2017, including “Miss Christmas” (which I like a lot), “Christmas…
I can’t be the only one that wishes “One Royal Holiday” had kicked off 2020’s Countdown to Christmas, right? The whole time I watched this movie, I thought, “Why was THIS not the first movie we got to see?” “One Royal Holiday” aired on October 31, 2020. It starred a…
I know this writeup has been a long time coming, but the fourth movie from last weekend was “Deliver by Christmas,” which aired on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel on October 25. This one starred Alvina August and Eion Bailey, who hasn’t appeared in a Hallmark movie since 2017’s “Switched…
When I tell you that Nikki Deloach must be one of the kindest people in the Hallmark universe, that is not hyperbole. I say it because in my experience it is 100% true. Tomorrow night (Oct 31, 2020), Deloach stars in “Cranberry Christmas” on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. And despite…
The third movie from last weekend was “Chateau Christmas,” which aired on Hallmark Channel on October 25. This one starred the gorgeous Merritt Patterson and McCharmin’ himself, Luke Macfarlane. I know the first question people have is: WHERE WAS THAT CHATEAU? Well, it was the Fairmount Chateau Whistler, in British…
The second movie of the weekend was “Christmas Tree Lane,” on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel, airing on October 24. The movie starred Alicia Witt and Andrew Walker, both Hallstars with huge fan bases. This was their first time in a movie together and I wondered how these two would…
