Hallmark Christmas Movies

Does anyone else get caught up in watching Hallmark Christmas movies? I know many of the production values are weak and the stories are similar in their themes; but I cannot seem to help myself. Am I alone in all of this? If you are addicted feel to post your favorites. Mine would be the Mrs. Miracle series with Doris Roberts. PS. The new 2015 movies have very obvious Folgers coffee product placement and it is kind of amusing.

I love them. There's some God awful ones but there's also some pretty excellent ones, "A Dog Named Christmas" being my personal favorite.

My mother's been watching these nonstop. I enjoy walking into the living room, saying, "I'm gonna ruin it. They fall in love," and leaving.

I feel better knowing I am not the only one! LOL!

^That scene cracks me up when he blows out the Hanukkah candle much to the chagrin of his "girlfriend".

The Hallmark holiday movies are a guilty pleasure of mine. I also like, Naughty or Nice, featuring Jessica Tuck.

Once in a while they premiere one on a major channel which is kind of cool since that was done on a regular basis during my childhood. The Hallmark Hall Of Fame. The commercials were always about finding the perfect Hallmark card for your loved one. Maybe Folgers merged with Hallmark.

There was one on a few years ago called Christmas In Conway with Mary Louise Parker and Andy Garcia which had higher production values than normal and the two were good together. A lot of the Santa casting in Hallmark films seems to come from the Dinner Theatres out of Ohio but in some weird way it kind of works.

One of my favorite Non Hallmark Christmas movies is Home For The Holidays with Holly Hunter. She nails it and I identified with the whole idea of how adults return home to their parents and they are no longer adults but children. I also can watch The Family Stone over and over again.

Lord help me. I have now moved over to Lifetime Christmas movies. I may have to go a 12 step program for Christmas movie addiction. I just watched one with Captain Awesome from Chuck and the girl from Beaches.

Between the two Hallmark channels, ION and UP, I've got 26 DVRed and another 8 scheduled. Can't schedule further than seven days out. Still have 4 more to schedule. These are only 2015 movies. Oh, and I have a Word doc. Title, debut date/time, and channel bolded and highlighted yellow. Movie synopsis follows. After DVRing, highlight color changes to blue and movie gets crossed out in red. I take my Christmas movies seriously!!

I think Window Wonderland is one of the better acted ones starring our beloved Paul Campbell from Trick.

It was also nice to see another Broadway actor, Kevin Chamberlain, as a supporting role in A Christmas Melody. I like both Lacey and Mariah and I was glad I saw it, even though parts of it did seem rushed.

SmoothLover said: "The 12 Gifts of Christmas stars a gorgeous Calvin Klein underwear model who plays a gay character or the Haves and Have Not's."

I loved The 12 Gifts of Christmas this year -- it hit all the notes that a Hallmark Christmas movie should, IMO. And, yes, Aaron O'Connell is as good as they get when it comes to Hallmark Channel hunks.
