Adopting St Nick Review
We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Adopting St. Nick, starring Amy Groening and Michael Rady, is a Christmas movie that aired on Halloween. So was it a trick or a treat? Andrea gives it four out of five stars and calls it her favorite of the 2026 season so far (and she is not handing out fives this year). Eric thinks it might be the most complete traditional Hallmark movie of the year: real stakes, a Santa who may or may not be Santa, and a lead actress who...

Hallmark's What If Christmas | Watch It, Skip It?
We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Andrea picked What If Christmas, starring Lori Loughlin and Tom Cavanagh, as her sleeper hit of the Hallmark season. It turned out to be a sleeper, just not the kind she meant. Andrea lands on a generous 3 out of 5, Eric thinks Tom Cavanagh did all the heavy lifting, and both of them came away feeling like they'd spent the evening planning a charity gala. What You'll See: • Why Andrea swapped out Double Booked for the Holi...

Hallmark's Forgotten Holiday Review | Watch It or Skip It
We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Eric and Andrea review Forgotten Holiday, the Hallmark Countdown to Christmas movie starring Janel Parrish and Daniel Lissing. Eric thinks it will be hard to beat as the best movie of the year. Andrea started at three stars and, by the end of the conversation, had talked herself down to two and a half. What You'll Hear: • Mystery news: Curious Caterer is coming back in 2027, and Hannah Swensen is headed to Malta with Victo...

Hallmark's Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story Review
We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story brought Hallmark's NFL franchise to Chicago, and Eric and Andrea are back on the football field to decide whether it scored. Lyndsy Fonseca and Robert Buckley won them both over, but the heavy Bears branding kept pulling them out of the story. Before kickoff, they also give a quick verdict on Mr. & Mrs. Christmas with Brendan Penny and Pascale Hutton, and it is not a generous one. ...

Tis the Season for Setups Review | 2026 Hallmark Christmas Movie
We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Countdown to Christmas 2026 is officially here, and Eric and Andrea kick off eight weeks and 34 movies with 'Tis the Season for Setups, starring Victor Webster, Amanda Schull and Barbara Niven. Andrea gives it three and a half stars, Eric calls it a strong, solid opener, and both agree this is the best Victor has been in years. The one sticking point? Whether the back half moves fast enough. What You'll Hear: • Why Andrea ...

Hallmark's The Spirit Halloween Preview
We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. The Spirit of Halloween takes A Christmas Carol, trades December for October, and hands Meghan Ory three ghosts and a firm grudge against Halloween. Eric and Andrea both landed on 4.5 stars for this Hallmark movie, and Eric went a step further, calling it one of the top three Hallmark movies of the year. The only real split is over which moment made it: Andrea says the ghosts, Eric says the ending. What You'll Hear: • Why ...

Previewing Countdown to Christmas with Hallmark Jenny Blog
We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Hallmark's 2026 Countdown to Christmas has 34 new movies, and Jenny Forwark, Hallmark's former Chief Fan Officer, is back for her annual visit to help Eric and Andrea pick the five they are most looking forward to. Three lists, fifteen slots, and only two movies managed to land on more than one of them. Along the way, everyone also names the movies they are dreading, the pairings they can't wait to see, and one sleeper hit...

Hallmark's A Knight to Remember Review
We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Eric and Andrea review A Knight to Remember, Hallmark's October rom-com where museum conservator Emily (Julie Gonzalo) kisses the statue of a 1400s English knight and accidentally brings Sir Griffin (James Trevena) to life in Chicago. Andrea gives it 2 stars and found it slow going. Eric lands at 2.5, calling it corny, light Hallmark fun with two leads who were better than the script. Neither of them is calling it memorabl...
