Hallmarked Up!!

We are back for another season, albeit not quite in line with the new releases, due to a relatively dull start. But luckily this movie, MERRY CHRISTMAS, TED COOPER! caught our eyes. Mary is on a bit of a break, but luckily seasoned Countdown to Christmas Watchers, Megan and David join us to share in Bingo & #Relatable moments as we rewrite this early goodie! Weatherman Ted Cooper (Buckley) loves Christmas, but the past three have been terrible. This year, Ted has made up his mind that things will be different – this will be the Christmas things turn around for him. But Ted’s relentless optimism is about to be put to the test as he is faced with a litany of injuries and obstacles when he travels back to his hometown of Lackawanna, NY for the holidays. Within hours of arriving at his sister Kate’s house, he finds himself making a trip to Urgent Care after falling off a ladder while hanging decorations. While there, he runs into Ruth Mittens, his former high school science teacher wh...

Sarah is back with faithful watcher, Bettina who helps us get updated on all of the Thanksgiving movies.  We do a decent recap of Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Lovestory.  Sarah has a controversial opinion of it.  Bettina tells us which movie is the worst one ever.  Full review of the one we were waiting for, The Christmas Quest with #MorePolaha. Alana Higman is sure that her family’s lifelong history as Kansas City Chiefs superfans makes them a frontrunner to win the team’s “Fan of the Year” contest. Derrick, Director of Fan Engagement, is tasked with evaluating how Alana and her family stack up against the other two  finalists. As the pair spends time together, it’s clear there’s a spark between them but when her grandfather’s vintage Chiefs good-luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick – unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary. Starring...

Mary is on a travel break for Thanksgiving. But not to fear, Bettina and Missy join Sarah again to rewrite this sequel (previously suggested by us back in Season 4 wink wink). What will our favorite trio+1 get up to in our hopefully predicted addition to this trilogy? Find out in our #morepolaha version of THREE WISER MEN & A BOY. The story begins five years later with the Brenner brothers preparing for another memorable Christmas. In a crazy turn of events, possibly brought on accidentally by the brothers themselves, the director of Luke’s son Thomas’ school holiday musical steps down. Luke is desperate to make his son’s stage dreams come true, so he enlists the help of his brothers Taylor and Stephan. Meanwhile, the trio navigates meeting their mom Barbara’s new boyfriend and the brothers grapple with their own feelings about this relationship. In true Brenner brother fashion, they are all in for a Christmas they will never forget. Starring  ⁠ Paul Campbell ⁠ ,  ⁠ Tyler...

Mary and Sarah are back for this week's episode appropriately guest hosted by Sarah's brother, Jonny, and his wife, Chris. Mary is convinced this movie kind of works as it is steers outside the regular Hallmark realm. Find out how we bring in #morepolaha, what happens when people where the same Christmas Onesie for too many days in a row and if quirky families can be in Hallmark movies in CONFESSIONS OF A CHRISTMAS LETTER. Settie Rose, a quirky family matriarch, enters her town’s annual holiday letter-writing contest but needs help, so she hires struggling novelist Juan to craft the perfect letter. When a mix-up leads to the rumor that Juan is engaged to Settie’s daughter Lily, the whole family scrambles to keep up the charade. As Juan bonds with the Roses and overcomes his writer’s block, Settie learns that embracing her imperfect family is what truly makes her story special. Starring Angela Kinsey and  ⁠ Alec Santos ⁠ . *Features a cameo appearance by Brian Baumgartner. J oin...
