Did some looking, and apparently Lifetime's "Under the Christmas Tree" in mid December is their first Lesbian couple Christmas movie.
Wow. Didn't even recognize him.

Flashback to the couple in college, and they look exactly the same.
This isn't a Hallmark thing, just a movie thing I always think is hilarious. Like "well we could hire younger actors, or we could try makeup. Or we could just not give a shit"

So there's only one cable Xmas movie this year with a gay couple, The Christmas House 2, down from three last year? What the fuck.
And if The Christmas House 2 is like the first one, the gay couple won't even be the B storyline, they'll be the C "plot" with barely 5 minutes of screen time.

watching one of these right now from 2008 and its incredible. It has Brooke Burns (looking amazing) and Fonzie. The love interest just knocked out a toy shop owner in an alley with a trash can and jacked his keys to steal a bike.
These had way more bite in the past.

My Mom and grandparents watch Hallmark shit year round. It drives me crazy lol. The plot generator is so accurate. I'm also a no fun allowed poster, sorry gang.

So, were the boyfriends dead or not?
Wait, why isn't this on the mystery channel?Looks like they're killing Santa tonight.
I think I just hate Summer Hallmark movies. This movie isn't any different but the Christmas setting just makes it so much better.Tonight's Experiment:
You, Me & The Christmas Trees:
Also Hallmark saves their better male actors for Christmas. They brought a lot of new actors to the mix and it's been bad.

The Santa Stakeout is set in "Denver". I wouldn't mind Denver looking more Vancouvery
They did at least use a real map of the place when they were showing the places that have been robbed.
Also a big fan of the comically generic "POLICE" logo.

Santa Stakeout was straight up good. Paul Campbell is pretty funny and he and Tamara worked well together. It was cute. Very Christmas-y.

We'll see how this pans out. GAC Family or Great American Country is also doing a spinoff of Calls the Heart with Lori Loughlin. Their CEO is the guy who left Hallmark over the LGBT ad that got removed. So expect more conservative values and a Candace Bure anti-vaxx movie soon.
More movies the better but Hallmark has been struggling finding the one thing that should be easy, finding charismatic actors in their movies. A lot of their new actresses are boring.

Movie was pretty good. Genuinely entertaining and cute. But the chime that went along with that "all new" graphic at the bottom of the screen was really distracting every time it happened.

Leads are in a park as the Christmas lights come on, and you can literally hear the guy off stage counting down to the light cue.
They just raised all the funds, and harmony sang the melody instead of...uh...melo d. And melo d was okay with it all which makes melo d in...uh...harmony with the whole thing.
All for a 10k fundraiser at the end of which someone reveals they've been sitting on 250k the entire time.

I think they got rid of the chime. I don't remember hearing it last night.

They keep showing previews for tomorrows movie, and I know I will be completely unable to take Starbuck seriously as a Hallmark Christmas lead.

Tonight is going to be weird...
Starbuck and Locke in a Hallmark Christmas film.
I wonder if she'll break anyone's nose...

Glad to see this thread, because I was shocked to see Christmas movies damn near on a marathon run on Hallmark the other day. I had to come post about it.
...before Halloween...
And it seems like I am about 2 weeks late. What the hell.
I'll take it tho, because I absolutely love Christmas time. Just waiting for 97.1 WASH FM in the DC area to start playing their 24/7 Christmas music. And the Music Choice Sounds of the Seasons on Comcast to flip to Christmas.
I actually checked the Sounds of the Season to make sure, but its still Halloween music.
What made me wanna post about this....while looking at NFL Countdown...I am trying to find the Hallmark channel, lol.
Watching it now...and they have Happy Halloween at the bottom of the screen with a Christmas hat and colors mixed with Halloween colors. They just straight up said fuck it, we doing this, so what. Even the commercials....they just went all in, lmao.

I feel it's missing the "Woman recently broke up with a longtime boyfriend (whom her family NEVER met, but they are aware she was dating him for a long time), but promised her family back home (in a small town, of course) that she was bringing him home for Christmas, but she either meets a stranger going to the same town for different reasons and they make a plan to act as each others boyfriend/girlfriend to keep the ruse up, but actually wind up falling in love with each other." That or the gender-swapped version (man brings stranger woman home for Christmas, telling his family she's his fiancee and both have to play it up for the family).Is there by any chance any movie about a hard working woman living in the big city who goes back to her small home town where she meets a man?
This too. Always find it funny that the country is seemingly somewhere IN the greater Europe area (not the British Isles), likely somewhere around Italy, France, Germany of such, a small little nation probably smaller than the size of Rhode Island, but everybody speaks in a British accent.

I skimmed the trailer. 80's, video games, Neil Patrick Harris, I'm in. What is with this trend of trailers being over 2.5 minutes long? Goddamn. I never watch more than a minute, or they tend to show all the key stuff from the movie.

Critic impressions are out for "Nine Kittens of Christmas" already. Some weird stuff's going on here.

A Mrs. Miracle Christmas
There's also a new one on Netflix. A Belgian film called "The Claus Family". It's on US netflix both subtitltes and with a decent dub. I watch this one earlier. It's alright.

Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson are going to be in a Hallmark movie about a time traveling train
This seemed dorky enough to share in it's own thread. Movie synopsis is exactly what you'd expect. I fully expect Lloyd to barely be in it.

When his grandfather suddenly falls ill, holiday-hating Jules learns of his family's magical legacy and realizes he's the only hope to save Christmas.

Anyone know if there is a way to get the hallmark channel without having cable? My mom is killing me asking about it so she can watch the holiday movies. Any of those services where you can pick what channels you want? I've never used them before
Not a bad set of films so far. I really enjoyed The Santa Stakeout.
This plan by GAC isn't going to work. Their station isn't as accessible as Hallmark Channel.
