Hopefully they opt for a movie too

I'm surprised Hallmark is airing The Bad Date Chronicles after it aired on Pixl 3 years ago

Yes she had to teach the male lead to loosen up a bit.

I liked the secondary couple in Once Upon a Date more than the main couple. UP is already working on a new Christmas movie. It was in their latest survey. Emily Nichols, a successful business consultant, has missed every family gathering this year, so getting home for Christmas is very important to her. But when a series of mishaps – from delayed public transport to diverted flights and broken down trains and finally, a lost wallet – put her holiday plans in jeopardy, she’s forced to find a way home with a fellow road warrior, Simon Allein. While Emily is more a Type A planner who hates disruptions and inconveniences, Simon is a go-with-the-flow type who sees the bright side to any misfortune. So, having to rely upon one another to get to their final destination tests their will, but also provides ample opportunity to get to know each other and, perhaps even, fall in love.

Yep and the orchard or farm festivals are small and not that big of a deal. I live ina mid size city and we only recently started getting alot of festivals. Before it was just holiday parades and two summer festivals. The smaller surrounding towns just started trying to do summer and festivals as well.

It's become a joke at this point. It's actually funny how all these small towns have these huge festivals on Hallmark because one complaint I always hear about small towns is the lack of festivals and big events.

It was also nice to watch a romance set in a large city instead of a small town and not have small town ideals forced upon us.

Another Hallmark book was recommended too me and while most of their books sound as bland and boring as their recent movies this sounds somewhat interesting. Jenny always dreamed of getting married at Heart’s Landing. But when she finally visits the charming small town, she’s there to make wedding arrangements for someone else: her cousin, who also happens to be her boss and a famous movie star. To keep the event secret and avoid a media circus, Jenny pretends she’s the one getting married. Nick is intrigued by this bride-to-be who starts visiting his bakery every afternoon for sweet treats and conversation. He has to keep reminding himself that she’s already spoken for. As Jenny deals with her cousin’s ever-changing demands, she tries to hide her attraction to Nick. Planning this wedding couldn’t be more complicated…and what will happen once the truth comes to light?

It's been awhile since I watched Casa Vita and Late Bloomer but I have them saved to my Google Drive along with Diagnosis Delicious so I can watch anytime.

I liked her movie that aired on Pixl Late Bloomer

I'm watching The Wedding Do-Over again.

It is one that they never released. It was filmed in 2016 I think. I remember hearing about it during filming.

A few of us talked mentioned it in the UP thread too.

ION aired Blue Bloods all Christmas day instead of Christmas movies

I shed some tears during A Christmas Winter Song.

It always makes me laugh when they do colorblind casting for the family members in these movies. Ashanti having a white mother, Vivica Fox as mom to those obviously Eurasian girls, Tiya Sircar having a black mom and white dad in a movie.

ION doesn't produce their movies in house. They just buy the rights to air some movies from different studios.

I don't understand why they don't at least make holiday themed Christmas movies. Most of their Christmas movies are from cozies mysteries any way and there are whole cozy mystery series themed around Christmas.

Her character was white in that movie

I'm not even Jewish and I thought the same. I said he doesn't seem like a Hasidic Jew who never left a small community so I don't buy for a second he never heard Christmas carols or experienced Christmas. Especially living in NYC. And as an actor. I didn't get UP TV vibes though. UP wouldn't have acted like Jewish meant alien from outer space.

At this point Hallmark seems to be catering to conservative Christians. Ironically UP which was founded as a Christian channel has always been more diverse.

Its not bullying to want representation and love and respect shown during the holiday season. One Million Moms runs like a hate group under the guise of caring about the children.
