Hello Fans of Christmas Movies! A couple of weeks into this... what movies have been the winners so far? Quite a few for me. Pretty much anything airing on Great American. I've loved them all. Last week, my favorites were... "Dash of Christmas" with Laura Osnos and Christopher Russell did not disappoint. Seriously, Christopher Russell could not Be more charming. "Mystery on Mistletoe Lane" on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries was a delightful bit of fun with plenty of mystery to solve. I really enjoyed this one a lot. "The Santa Summit" on Hallmark, was the surprise for me this past week. What a fun little movie. I liked it so much, I watched it twice. Honorable mention goes to UpTV's "We're Scrooged". A little slow at the start but overall, as is the case with ALL takes on this classic Dicken's tale, there was a fantastic, and very timely, message for today. So what do we have coming up this weekend? You know, I really should be doing earlier because the fun really begins on Friday. So, I'll be mentioning last night's movie on Hallmark first, even though we have already watched and chatted through it. Friday, November 10th "Everything Christmas", 8 pm on Hallmark, starring Cindy Busby and Corey Sevier A woman and her roommate embark on a road trip to Yuletide Springs, a town where Christmas is celebrated year-round. Delightful movie, as all movies with Cindy Busby are, but will save it for next week as far as rating it on the favorites list. We have so much more fun to have! Saturday, November 11th "Christmas Keepsake", 8 pm on Great American, starring Jillian Murray and Daniel Lissing A father (Lissing) bonds with his daughter and stumbles upon an unexpected romance (Murray) while tracking down the original owner of a Christmas time capsule. A couple of things I didn't know. Daniel Lissing is Australian? I heard we will get to hear him use his native Australian accent in this movie. Why did I always assume he was Canadian? Also, now that Great American and Pureflix have merged, it seems these new movies are available to stream on Pureflix before actually airing on the network. Good to know. "Christmas Island", 8 pm on Hallmark, starring Rachel Skarsten and Andrew Walker When a snowstorm diverts Kate's first private flight to Christmas Island, she must team up with an air traffic controller to secure her dream job as the family's pilot. This one does look fun. Always like Andrew Walker. And if you don't change the channel when it's over, you could get to see one of last year's favorites with Andrew Walker. "Three Wise Men and a Baby". Sunday, November 12th "Christmas Time Capsule", 7 pm on UpTV, starring Marco Deufemia and Paula Tiberius When Tiffany’s best friend James arrives at her house looking for the family heirloom engagement ring he left in her care, she quickly realizes that he wants to use it to propose to another woman. Now Tiffany has 3 days, a road trip and some Christmas magic to make James realize that the woman he really wants has been in front of him the whole time. "A Christmas Blessing", 8 pm on Great American, starring Lori Laughlin and James Tupper A TV chef is divinely inspired to take over her late aunt's charity with help from a new friend and handsome neighbor. "A Heidelberg Holiday", 8 pm on Hallmark, starring Ginna Mason and Frédéric Brossier Heidi Heidelberg receives a dream opportunity to sell her beautiful, handmade glass ornaments at the prestigious Heidelberg Christmas Market in Germany. While there, she meets Lukas, a local artisan who helps her reconnect with her lost heritage. Thursday, November 16th "A World Record Christmas", 8 pm on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries starring Nikki Deloach, Lucas Bryant, and Aias Dalman An autistic boy attempts to break a world record on Christmas Eve, uniting his family and community in the process. Inspired by real events. Not your typical Rom-Com, but wanted to include it because it could be a wonderful, heartwarming story. So many Christmas movies; so little time. The Christmas Movie season is up and running! Enjoy!

Hello fans of the Christmas Movie Season! I didn't make it to doing this page early, did I? My week gets away from me sometimes. In fact, I almost feel like I should just do this on the Sunday page but then people who could care less about it will be forced to see all the news. However, they are seeing it anyway so... will think some more on it but in the meantime... what about today and tomorrow's new movie premieres? Keep in mind, both Great American and Hallmark are running these movies 24/7 already so great time of year to re-live some of the oldie's and get to know some new ones. UPTV will begin their tomorrow. And, Lifetime, November 18th. Beginning with Great American Family.... Saturday, November 4th "A Dash of Christmas", 8 pm, starring Laura Osnes and Christopher Russell To apply for her dream job at a foodie startup, an executive must learn to bake. When she recruits a handsome baker to help her, she inadvertently ends up in a Christmas Bakeoff. Great American hasn't had a bad one yet.... I've enjoyed them ALL. On Hallmark, we have... "Never Been Chris'd", 8 pm starring Janel Parish and Tyler Hines Home for the holidays, BFFs Naomi and Liz reconnect with high school crush Chris Silver. A complex love triangle forms, forcing them to take stock of their lives and find the value of friendship. This one has potential... I think. Sunday, November 5th "We're Scrooged", 7 pm on UpTV, starring Tamara Duarte and Andrew Bushell When ex-high school sweethearts return to Minneapolis for the Christmas Snowball 10-year high school reunion weekend, they each check in to the hotel single and alone. Although their friends called them “Ross and Rachel,” Sarah and Scott parted ways after college and pursued their high-end careers. After a run-in at the kickoff event, they are both warned that they are going to be visited by 3 Christmas ghosts over the next 3 days. While dreaming each night, they have shared experiences reliving their past and present Christmases. These unsettling yet comedic visits help them both see what they gave up. And that they gave up on each other. When the Ghost of Christmas Future visits them separately, they must each make a choice to reunite or lose their love forever. A take on a classic Dicken's tale. Will have to make sure to catch this one. "Our Christmas Wedding", 8 pm on Great American, starring Holly Deveaux and Drew Seeley Roles reverse as Nicole's boss plans newly engaged Nicole and Michael's wedding in two weeks at Christmas. Is this a sequel to something? Anyone know? "The Santa Summit", 8 pm on Hallmark, starring Hunter King and Ben Hollingsworth Jordin returns home to regroup after setbacks, and attends the town's annual holiday celebration with friends. She bonds with Liam, but doesn't get his name before they're separated in a sea of Santas. Lost in a sea of Santa's. Sounds almost nightmareish. heh. Really like Ben Hollingsworth so I'm sure I'll try to catch this one. A full list of schedules for this Holiday Season... though I hear that Ion TV has some pretty good ones but a schedule is not yet available. So many Christmas movies; so little time. The Christmas Movie season is up and running! Enjoy!
