The Christmas Chronicals
|
The story of sister and brother, Kate and Teddy Pierce, whose Christmas Eve plan to catch Santa Claus on camera turns into an unexpected journey that most kids could only dream about. |
Christmas Inheritance
|
Before ambitious heiress Ellen Langford can inherit her father's gift business, she must deliver a special Christmas card to her dad's former partner in Snow Falls, the hometown she never knew. When a snowstorm strands her at the town inn, she's forced to work for her keep, and in the process, finds romance and discovers the true gift of Christmas. |
Christmas With A View
|
Secret aspirations between a failed restaurateur and a celebrity chef threaten their blossoming Christmas romance.
We are a HUGE fan of these Christmas movies. They're cheesy yet lovely and always have a happy ending. They're a form of escapism. But this one is so disjointed and awkward. The story line is off and nothing makes much sense and the blatant miscommunication of the two main characters becomes quickly annoying. We were disappointed. |
The Holiday Calendar
|
A struggling but talented photographer inherits an antique holiday advent calendar, the contents of which seem to predict the future. Will this magical calendar lead her to love this holiday season?
Lots of positive representations of diverse races, and Abby's close-knit, loving family offers a lot of great role models for African Americans especially. |
Merry Kissmas
|
Merry Kissmas is a Christmas romance. Kayla (Karissa Lee Staples) should be the happiest woman on earth as she is engaged to world-famous choreographer Carlton Wells (David O’Donnell). Unfortunately, Kayla feels more like Carlton’s personal assistant lately than his fiancée. Her feelings become more complicated when she meets lonely caterer Dustin (Brant Daugherty) in a mistletoe-festooned elevator. The two share a kiss, and due to the elevator’s reputedly magical properties, neither of them can forget it – leaving Kayla confused about her love life.
The plot is pretty predictable, but the movie is charming. Both Kayla and Dustin are likeable characters – Carton is not, but that’s what allows the audience to entertain Kayla’s attraction to Dustin as permissible instead of seeing it as infidelity. |
The Christmas Project
|

But now that Matthew has been learning that he’s supposed to do good to those who hate him, what will he do when a little push becomes a great big shove? “The Christmas Project” is a heartwarming comedy the whole family will love |

Emily's sister is out of control. A drug abuser and a resulting neglectful mother at times, she almost overdoses and ends up in the slammer. Emily has a good relationship with her sister's two children and is there to take care of them. However, she is between jobs and has no place to stay in Providence. The child welfare case worker wants, therefore, to take the children away from Emily. Alanna and J.T., the kids, are already traumatized by the whole situation to the point where J.T. will not utter a word. Emily makes a decision to escape with the children to another venue. On the way to nowhere, her car breaks down in the small city of Bethlehem. There, she and the children are treated with uncommon kindness, partly because of a case of mistaken identity. However, the city truly is capable of performing miracles. Will Emily and the children finally have a rewarding life all around? This wonderful film is a must for the holiday or any season. The actors are appealing, the script is beautiful, and all of the extras that make for superior film-making are present. A romance is always welcome and this one is, but the movie's attractions go far beyond that. If only Hollywood would make this kind of film at times! However, Hallmark is dedicated to giving us these incredible cinematic gifts and this one is one of the loveliest. Seek this one out without delay. As a companion to Miracle on 34th Street, this "Miracle" movie is topnotch. |
