    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 Holidays as her sleeper pick, and now wishes she hadn't • The gowns and cinematography, which actually look like high fashion instead of a Mervyn's clearance rack • The dad math: how is Adam's father this peppy when Lori and Tom are in their sixties? • Eric's case that Lori played her big emotional moments the same way she ordered hot chocolate, and Andrea's theory on why • The no-socks suit and a fifteen second hug where a goodbye kiss should be • The "it's on me" scene Eric calls the best written moment in the movie • A rare Hallmark marriage with no kids, and how it compares to Garage Sale Mysteries • Similar picks: Family for Christmas, A Dream of Christmas, The Birthday Wish and A Kiss Before Christmas • Full House trivia about Lori's real wedding dress, plus Tom Cavanagh's malaria and avocado stories Chapters: 0:00 - Andrea's Sleeper Pick: What If Christmas 0:40 - The Recap (and That Choppy Synopsis) 1:30 - Why Andrea Dropped Double Booked, and Her 3/5 4:00 - What Worked: Cinematography, Gowns and Tom Cavanagh 6:25 - Too Much Gala Talk and Some Shaky Dad Math 8:00 - Slow, Low Stakes, and Lori's Flat Delivery 10:10 - Why Some Performances Read Flat on Screen 12:00 - No Socks, No Goodbye Kiss 14:10 - Standout: Jonathan Whittaker and the "It's On Me" Scene 17:20 - The Romance: A Long Marriage With No Kids 18:50 - If You Liked This, Watch These Instead 21:10 - Full House Trivia: Lori's Real Wedding Dress 23:20 - Tom Cavanagh, Malaria and Avocados 23:55 - IMDb Scores and Poll Results 25:50 - Next Week: Who's Coming for Christmas?, Adopting St. Nick, A Danish Christmas Andrea gave What If Christmas a generous 3 out of 5, and the early poll is all over the map.

    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 Victor Webster along for the trip • A Winter Wonderlanes follow-up, where 69% of poll voters landed on one star, plus whether a zero-star rating is ever on the table • Why Andrea loved the first twelve minutes and then couldn't get past a family asking Kathryn to re-date Rob after she ran from his proposal • Why Eric calls it well written and authentic, from the meet cute and the cookie-making scene to the Ingrid Michaelson "Winter Song" moment • The slow vs. slow burn argument, a charity invitation that looked made in Canva, and Andrea's real-life gala auction story • Standout scenes: Gabrielle Rose as Rob's mom and the Christmas Eve pancake talk with Kathryn's dad • Amnesia movie recommendations, including Falling for Vermont, Single on the 25th, and the 2013 Hallmark Hall of Fame drama Remember Sunday • Trivia on Daniel Lissing's surfing, Janel Parrish's third-place Masked Singer run, and how rare localized amnesia actually is • Audience poll results for Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story and Mr. & Mrs. Christmas, plus an early verdict on The Nights Before Christmas Chapters: 0:00 - Remember It or Forget It? 0:29 - Mystery News: Curious Caterer Returns, Hannah Swensen Goes to Malta 3:27 - Winter Wonderlanes Follow-Up: The 69% One-Star Poll 5:53 - Forgotten Holiday: Janel Parrish & Daniel Lissing 6:20 - Andrea's Take: Great Start, Then a Premise Problem 9:41 - Eric's Take: A Contender for Best Movie of the Year 15:00 - What Didn't Work: Slow vs. Slow Burn and a Canva Invitation 18:36 - Andrea's Gala Story: Who Bids $25,000? 20:56 - Standout Scenes: Gabrielle Rose and the Christmas Eve Pancakes 23:35 - The Romance: Fire Before the Accident, Rebuilt After 26:48 - Amnesia Movies to Watch Next 31:24 - Trivia: Daniel Lissing, Janel Parrish, and Localized Amnesia 33:24 - Poll Results: A Bears Love Story vs. Mr. & Mrs. Christmas 34:45 - Coming Up: What If Christmas and The Nights Before Christmas 36:03 - Slow Starts and Last Year's Ratings Eric thinks Forgotten Holiday is one of the best of the year, and Andrea is breaking up with it.

    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. What You'll Hear: • Why Mr. & Mrs. Christmas landed at two stars for Andrea, and why Pascale Hutton's storyline should have been the main one • Andrea's three star rating (up from two and a half) and the wave of oddly identical Instagram comments that followed it • The One Tree Hill connection with Robert Buckley and Barbara Alyn Woods, plus cameos from Marilu Henner and Tamera Mowry-Housley • Why Eric calls this the best of the three Holiday Touchdown movies, starting with a meet-cute over a book at a bar • Grandmother math that does not add up, and an entire city still reading print newspapers • A split decision on the Santa and a Secret Santa who cannot keep a secret • Football romance picks beyond Hallmark: Heaven Can Wait and Jerry Maguire • Trivia on Barbara Alyn Woods' acting daughters, Marsha Mason's herbal medicine business, the real 1971 Bears vs. Vikings game in the scrapbook, and the Holiday Touchdown curse • Instagram poll results for 'Tis the Season for Setups and a look at next weekend's Winter Wonderlanes, Forgotten Holiday, and What If Christmas Chapters: 0:00 - Touchdown or Fumble? The Opening Verdict 0:35 - Mr. & Mrs. Christmas: Why It Missed 3:30 - Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story Recap and Cast 4:35 - Andrea's Rating and the One Tree Hill Connection 6:15 - Those Suspiciously Identical Instagram Comments 8:10 - Eric's Take: Best of the Three Holiday Touchdowns? 11:10 - Grandma's Age and a Town Full of Newspapers 13:15 - Too Much NFL, Boundaries, and the Santa Debate 16:05 - Standouts: Jody and Ron, Plus Marilu Henner 19:00 - The Romance: Lyndsy Fonseca and Robert Buckley 20:20 - If You Liked It: Heaven Can Wait and Jerry Maguire 21:45 - Trivia: Barbara Alyn Woods and Her Acting Daughters 23:40 - Marsha Mason, a 1971 Bears Game, and the Curse 26:10 - Poll Results: 'Tis the Season for Setups 27:15 - Next Week: Winter Wonderlanes, Forgotten Holiday, What If Christmas Andrea landed on three stars, and Eric liked it more than the Chiefs and Bills movies while wishing the NFL would take a back seat.

    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 thinks Hallmark is missing a huge opportunity by not slipping a real mystery into Countdown to Christmas • The Hallmark+ math that has Andrea paying more for the Timberwolves than for every Hallmark movie of the year • Victor Webster as a free-spirited snowboarder, and what director Jeff Beesley told Eric about his performance • Amanda Schull's slow, believable thaw, plus Andrea's case that Hallmark is underusing her (see: One Tree Hill) • An escape room, karaoke, a real snowdrift and Barbara Niven playing a pre-Dolores Dolores • Eric's gripe about acts seven and eight, and his strong feelings about the name Ridge • The early kiss that broke a Hallmark rule, and the snowshoe scene that made Andrea miss Minnesota winters • Recommendations: Coyote Creek Christmas, Holiday Hearts and Sense, Sensibility & Snowmen • Trivia on Amanda Schull's San Francisco Ballet past and Victor's sneaky Love Blossoms callback Chapters: 0:00 - Countdown to Christmas 2026 Kicks Off 0:55 - Why Hallmark Needs a Christmas Mystery 2:10 - Hallmark+ vs. Paying $20 for the Timberwolves 5:06 - 'Tis the Season for Setups: Andrea's 3.5 Stars 8:54 - Eric's Take and the Jeff Beesley Text 10:33 - Escape Rooms, Karaoke and a Snowdrift 12:11 - What Didn't Work: Backup Plans and a Slow Act 7 16:04 - Standout Scenes: Snowshoes and an Early Kiss 18:29 - The Romance: Two Opposites-Attract Couples 20:16 - If You Liked This, Watch These 22:15 - Trivia: Ballet, One Tree Hill and Love Blossoms 24:08 - Next Week: What If Christmas & Forgotten Holiday 25:50 - Andrea's Ayurveda Hallmark Movie Quiz Did 'Tis the Season for Setups ease you into Christmas the way Andrea says it should, or did acts seven and eight lose you too?

    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 a story everyone already knows still plays fresh as a Halloween movie, and how it skips the usual mid-movie lull • Meghan Ory carrying the whole film, and why Eric says this is the first time he has seen her go from good to great • Three ghosts with three completely different energies, including the "small old man from Up" line that made Andrea laugh out loud • Andrea's late realization about who played the Ghost of Halloween Future (Lachlan Quarmby) • A cheating scene Hallmark almost never puts on screen, and why Andrea thinks it worked • The gripes: a storyline that hit a little close to home for a solo parent, an end-credits song even Siri could not identify, and one snarky party line • Why Eric thinks the dance party finale is one of the best endings Hallmark has done in a while • What to watch next: A Nashville Christmas Carol, Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Ghost of Christmas Always • Trivia on Meghan Ory and Lachlan Quarmby, writer Nicole Baxter's track record, and how viewers voted on A Night to Remember Chapters: 0:00 - Trick or Treat?

    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 apiece. What You'll Hear: • Why Eric's age-gap rule knocked Eight Nights for Love out of his top five, and why Andrea isn't buying it • Jenny's case for Christmas Delivered with Autumn Reeser and Wes Brown, despite its Thanksgiving Day slot • Rachael Leigh Cook playing twins in Double Booked for the Holidays, the one movie two of the three couldn't resist • Eric's behind-the-scenes word from the sets of Noelle Nomads and Save the Date for Christmas • Amy Acker and Luke Macfarlane in My Christmas Cowboy: Eric calls it fire, Andrea is nervous about another Western • Three different number ones: The Nights Before Christmas, The Christmas Eve Feast, and A Season of Promises • The least anticipated list, from Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story to Winter Wonderlanes and The Snowflake Effect • Sleeper picks What If Christmas, An Angel in My Stocking, and Barking All the Way (and its scene-stealing dog, Twizzler) • The end-of-season banger streak, the loss of Finding Mr. Christmas, and high hopes for Mistletoe Murders season 3 Chapters: 0:00 - Jenny Forwark Returns for the Annual Preview 2:22 - First Impressions of the 34-Movie Lineup 6:57 - Eric's Age-Gap Rule (and Andrea's Eye Roll) 9:10 - #5: Christmas Delivered 11:13 - #5: A Danish Christmas and a Hygge Lesson 14:27 - #5: Noelle Nomads 16:45 - #4: Double Booked for the Holidays 18:43 - #4: Return to Santa 20:13 - #4: A Danish Christmas, Round Two 21:34 - #3: Holiday Unplugged 26:04 - #3: Who's Coming for Christmas? 28:02 - #3: Our Holiday Playbook 31:07 - #2: Double Booked Gets a Second Vote 32:28 - #2: My Christmas Cowboy 35:09 - Detour: Amy Acker in Crashing Through the Snow 37:46 - #2: Save the Date for Christmas 40:03 - #1: The Nights Before Christmas 42:02 - #1: The Christmas Eve Feast 44:43 - #1: A Season of Promises 46:08 - Jenny's Jake Foy vs. Jake Epstein Mix-Up 47:00 - All Three Top 5 Lists Recapped 48:40 - Least Anticipated: Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story 50:14 - Least Anticipated: Our Holiday Playbook 51:30 - Least Anticipated: Who's Coming for Christmas? 52:17 - Least Anticipated: Winter Wonderlanes 54:44 - Least Anticipated: The Snowflake Effect 56:29 - The Pairings Everyone Is Most Excited For 1:01:18 - Sleeper Pick: What If Christmas 1:03:50 - Sleeper Pick: An Angel in My Stocking 1:05:25 - Sleeper Pick: Barking All the Way 1:07:19 - The Final-Movie Streak and No More Unscripted Specials 1:10:57 - Mistletoe Murders Season 3 1:12:36 - Early Verdict on 'Tis the Season for Setups Which of these three lists is closest to yours?

    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 memorable, but they don't agree on how forgettable it is. What You'll Hear: • Why both hosts think James Trevena has the comedic timing to keep landing Hallmark leads, even if a 1400s knight wasn't the role to show it off • The Chris McNally cameo at the archery contest, opposite his real-life wife Julie Gonzalo, that Andrea completely missed • The tone problem: an ex-boyfriend FBI subplot that stalled whatever whimsy the movie managed to build • Andrea's case for more magic and more fish-out-of-water chaos than one quick joke about indoor plumbing • Whether Emily and Griffin worked as a couple, or felt more like a woman taking on a 600-year-old project • Similar watches: 2023's Made for Each Other, 1987's Mannequin and Making Mr. Right, and Life-Size with Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan • Trivia on two Southern Hemisphere-born leads starring in a movie set in Chicago • Instagram poll results for Garage Sale and Pumpkin Regatta • News on Private Eyes West Coast coming to Hallmark+ and a first look at next week's The Spirit of Halloween with Meghan Ory Chapters: 0:00 - Intro: A Knight to Remember 0:23 - Private Eyes West Coast Lands on Hallmark+ 1:32 - Coming Up: Christmas Movie Preview with Jenny 2:56 - The Recap: A Kiss Brings a Statue to Life 3:08 - Andrea's 2 Stars and James Trevena as Griffin 5:06 - Eric's 2.5 Stars: Leads Better Than the Script 7:04 - The Chris McNally Cameo Andrea Missed 8:10 - What Didn't Work: Too Serious, Not Enough Magic 10:52 - Standout Characters 13:29 - The Romance: Did Emily and Griffin Work? 15:21 - If You Liked This: Made for Each Other 16:02 - 1987 Throwbacks and Life-Size 17:55 - Trivia: Two Southern Hemisphere Leads 19:24 - Instagram Polls: Garage Sale and Pumpkin Regatta 20:47 - Next Week: The Spirit of Halloween Andrea wanted Griffin to be far more lost in the modern world.

    Hallmark's Good Witch Curse from a Rose Review

    We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Eric and Andrea kick off mystery month with Good Witch: Curse from a Rose, the 2019 Halloween movie that turned out to be the final Good Witch film. Andrea gives it a full five stars, and Eric makes the case that the whole franchise is still the bar for Hallmark series. The only real dispute is whether Middleton's official population would survive a census. What You'll Hear: • Andrea's five-star verdict, and why a town of 3,017 people should not look that big from the air • The pumpkin regatta neither host remembered, and why Cassie feels a lot like Andrea • Why Eric thinks Good Witch set the standard, from Cassie and Sam's chemistry to Hallmark paying for two American leads • The franchise timeline from 2008 to 2021, and how Curse from a Rose became the last movie • What didn't land: no Grace, a softer Nick, and a cast too big for everyone to get a turn • Eric's complaint about the mummy marathon and bowling events that never made it on screen • Cassie and Sam's first married Halloween, plus Martha's surprisingly wise line about love • Trivia: the Middleton monster cameo, a truck that changes color mid-scene, and what Catherine Bell planned to do before acting • What to watch next: Kentucky Roses and Acorn's Queens of Mystery Chapters: 0:00 - Mystery Month Starts in Middleton 1:07 - The Recap: Cassie's College Roommate Comes to Town 1:46 - Andrea's Five-Star Verdict (and a Census Problem) 4:31 - Andrea's Inner Cassie and the Pumpkin Regatta 5:44 - Eric's Take: Why Good Witch Is the Bar 9:18 - The Last Good Witch Movie and a 13-Year Run 11:25 - What Didn't Work: No Grace and a Different Nick 13:50 - Where Was the Mummy Marathon? 14:53 - Standout Character: Cassie vs. the Whole Ensemble 16:49 - The Romance: Cassie and Sam, Tom and Martha 19:32 - What to Watch Next 20:37 - Trivia: Bessie, a Color-Changing Truck and Catherine Bell 22:26 - IMDb Rating and Coming Up Next Andrea wants Hallmark to bring Good Witch back every Halloween.
