Avabelle November 8, 2023 Share November 8, 2023 Watching A Nashville Christmas with Jessy Schram and Wes Brown and it’s really nice. Making me feel festive despite how early it is. 1 Link to comment
absnow54 November 10, 2023 Share November 10, 2023 (edited) We're Scrooged on Up!TV was kind of decent. Former high school sweethearts get trapped in a retelling of A Christmas Carol while attending their class reunion. It drags a bit near the end, but I thought it was more engaging than most of what Hallmark has offered so far this season. Edited November 10, 2023 by absnow54 Link to comment
Avabelle November 10, 2023 Share November 10, 2023 Watching Take Me Back for Christmas on Hallmark and enjoying it. I don’t know either of the leads at all. Does Hilarie Burton still work with Hallmark? I haven’t seen her do one in a while. Link to comment

Irlandesa November 18, 2023 Share November 18, 2023 I liked EXMas on Freevee. It was more comedy but Leighton Meester and Robbie Amell had good chemistry. 2 2 Link to comment
GeorgiaRai November 19, 2023 Share November 19, 2023 I started watching Kristin's Christmas Past a few years ago based on comments in this thread; it has become one of my favorites. Now, I try to watch it at least once every year, and thanks to Lifetime, today's the day! 3 Link to comment
twoods November 19, 2023 Share November 19, 2023 I will follow Robbie Amell anywhere. Thank you! Link to comment
memememe76 November 20, 2023 Share November 20, 2023 Watched Best Christmas Ever, the cast gave it their all. But I don’t understand why Netflix kinda stopped trying with holiday movies, both in terms of quality and quantity. Link to comment
anniebird November 20, 2023 Share November 20, 2023 I tried watching two Lifetime movies, Planes, Trains, and Christmas Trees and Christmas Plus One and thought they were both awful. I didn't get very far with either one. 1 Link to comment

absnow54 November 27, 2023 Share November 27, 2023 Lifetime Holiday movies are generally rough, but since they scored Jake Epstein's Laughing All the Way this year, they won my viewership last night. I thought it was pretty decent, although the romance seemed like a shoehorned afterthought. I didn't love his Adam Sandler-esque bits, but the song about fake Christmas Trees was pretty funny! 2 Link to comment

statsgirl November 28, 2023 Share November 28, 2023 (edited) I enjoyed A Biltmore Christmas. Kristoffer Polaha and Bethany Joy Lenz can generally be counted on for a decent film but add in Jonathan Frakes (ST:TNG) and Robert Picardo (ST:Voyager) having fun hamming it up and a lot of easter eggs from the fake movie (a combination of It's a Wonderful Life and The Bishop's Wife with Polaha in the Cary Grant role, to Lenz pronouncing 'poinsettias' harking back to a 2018 movie of hers, to Rachel Boston playing the actress in the remake saying that this movie will be better than Check Into Christmas, a movie that Boston made in 2019. Margaret, the geeky Christmas movie lover, worked as a stand-in for me. ETA: apologies, I just realized that this may be in the wrong thread. All the Christmas movies here air on the same channel and I have trouble knowing what is Hallmark and what isn't n Edited November 29, 2023 by statsgirl 4 1 Link to comment

Chaos Theory December 1, 2023 Share December 1, 2023 Not a it re I am in the right place but couldn’t find it elsewhere so here I go. Last night I was bored so I gave Netflix’s Family Switch a try. While not necessarily a Christmas movie it took place during the season so I am counting it. For the most part it was fun if predictable. I did like that the entire family got into the fun and not just two people. Yeah the baby and the dog were just sight gags but whatever. The adults/teen stuff was actually pretty well done. I really liked the juxtaposition between a popular father and his nerdy son. The mother and daughter stuff was good as well. I mean not usually my type of movie. But it’s Christmas every network pulls out its sickly sweet wholesome inventory. 1 Link to comment

WendyCR72 December 5, 2023 Share December 5, 2023 As this thread is also titled for non-Rankin Bass Christmas specials as well as movies, I guess this thread is the best spot to put this: Today only, you can purchase the original animated How The Grinch Stole Christmas on Amazon Video for just $3.99. It is usually a little over $13. 1 Link to comment
chitowngirl December 13, 2023 Share December 13, 2023 Genie on Peacock with Melissa McCarthy. A cute little movie you can watch with your family. Not breaking any new ground, but an enjoyable way to spend a few hours. 4 1 Link to comment

Kaoteek October 24 Share October 24 For some reason, I ended up putting GAF's A Vintage Christmas in the background, and... welp, although I liked the leads, it was all so generic and been there seen that ten-fifteen years ago on Hallmark that I've already forgotten most of it. Link to comment
Featherhat October 27 Share October 27 Does this go here? Netflix have released the trailers for their Christmas/holiday movies 2024. It features the last of Lindsay Lohan's movies with them among others. As a side note I didn't even realise she'd done "Irish Wish" with them in March: Netflix Christmas Movies 2024 Link to comment
