I thought that if i let anyone in, they’d find out what was broken about me. And then not only would they know, i’d know too.

Welcome to the Hallmark Metaverse

Chinggay and Patty have called it—the first terrible movie of the year has made it to the lineup (consider yourselves warned). Ali Sweeney fails to appeal to BMIH’s cold, cynical hearts, but Marlo Thomas becomes a contender for Christmas mom of the year. Two of the HCU’s biggest leads go head to head this week in two different movies: Andrew Walker gets sappy in a maple farm and Kimberly Sustad takes over Hollywood. Bonus content—Tyler Hynes Tiktok: an education.

Catch us every week until December for our roundup of holiday hits!
