I also loved A Christmas Quest! It helps that I visited Iceland a few months ago so it was extra fun recognizing places I had seen in person. Great actors, fun plot.

My brother and his team came in third in the Little 500 one year, and were in the crowd scenes of the movie! I haven't watched this movie yet, but I'm sure it will be on another 100 times or so in the next few weeks so I'll get a chance.

The Christmas Secret is in my top 10, maybe even top 5. The more recent The Christmas Promise reminds me of it in some ways and is one I also really like.

Now you have made me want to watch Jingle Bell Run, since I also love The Amazing Race

I like Northern Lights of Christmas, but that's about the only one I can watch with Ashley Williams. There is only one movie with Andrew Walker I can think of that I really dislike (Maple Valley Christmas). Last year Hallmark Channel sponsored our local holiday boat parade. Nikki de Loach and Andrew Walker were the Grand Marshals. When their boat passed the dock I was on, I yelled "I love you Nikki and Andrew" and he immediately replied "I love you, too!" So now every time he's on our tv, I look over at my husband and say "he told me he loved me" 😆

None of the previews made me want to watch Charlotte d'Amboise is a major Broadway star, so she was really in her element as Hazel.

I recognized the actress from last year's Heidelberg movie, but had forgotten about the Rockettes movie. She does have a fantastic voice.

I agree, it was a pleasant surprise to have Cal back, although still bittersweet knowing what's ahead. The movement thing was strange, and are roller skates a "vehicle"? Agree also about the guy using so many indigenous flavors.

Oooh I didn't know it started! Thanks for the prompt.

I liked the "Back to the Basics" episode, although I thought their judging of the Showstopper was inconsistent regarding whether supports were used. But honestly, most of the episode is a blur because "Cal is ill" at the beginning just has me waiting for what they will say next week.

Sumayah didn't get the handshake, Illiyin did, and she wasn't judged first (although the order shown is not always the order judged so we can't know for sure).

I wondered how they would deal with Cal's passing, and I like the choice they made to honor her with the opening "In loving memory of..." moment right off the bat. I enjoyed the first episode but it is going to be really tough to watch how happy and vibrant Cal seems for however many episodes she is there.

I watched a couple of episodes but need to watch the rest. It's pretty good, Nancy has some good insights.

I would be happy for any of them to win, but I'm mostly Team Pascha. I don't think she has had a complete disaster all season, her sewing is on point, and she seems to be having so much fun.

One of my former student workers is now a chef in the PNW and wrote warmly of being welcomed into Naomi's kitchen for a special event. So sad.
