"Snow in Montana" by Mighigander played in last year's DECK THE WALLS and it's a really lovely holiday song.

Checked out THE CHRISTMAS SHOWDOWN on OWN/HBOMax and while it’s nothing special, and sadly about party planning, everyone in it is good and I liked that the central “love” story is about the friendship. It also looked really good. OWN has stepped up their production game since last I checked in.

"I think a lot of us have probably been in a situation similar to Liv’s. Where you’re in a relationship and it’s great at first, but then maybe things start to change? People get in their own way sometimes."

With just two movies yet to air, IMDb and Letterboxd viewers agree on the same top 3 of the Hallmark holiday season so far: 1. MERRY CHRISTMAS, TED COOPER!, 2. A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS and 3. SINGLE ON THE 25TH

Will note TWELVE DATES ’TIL CHRISTMAS is also effortlessly diverse, in various ways, in manner that feels very un-Hallmark, extremely refreshing, and like something that likely won't be happening moving forward at the rapidly retreating network.
Will also add that, depending on how the final episodes play out, limited series TWELVE DATES ’TIL CHRISTMAS could end up being my favorite Hallmark thing of the year. It definitely LOOKS the best, has the best cast, and the most intriguing premise.

Still no new Hallmark titles I've loved this season, and honestly a little over trying more given general meh-ness of slate, but the ones I've liked best so far remain…

1. MERRY CHRISTMAS, TED COOPER!
2. CHRISTMAS ABOVE THE CLOUDS
3. A KELLER CHRISTMAS VACATION

A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCE was…fine. Jessy Schram more-charming-than-most Hallmark lead, and they found decent actors to round out what is essentially ensemble story (Adam Hurtig good as screw-up brother), but like too many Hallmark titles this year, started strong then fizzled into muddled mush midway

"Tying to prep film that didn’t have big budget, with all these wonderful actors, and all these children, knowing I was first-time director and producing it and [acting], and I only had Helen Mirren for 16 days. There was pressure of, How am I going to do this?”

Hollywood: this is a serious biopic, not an SNL skit

George Costanza: i'm in it

Rob Riggle: and i'm in it

Shooter McGavin: me too i'm in it

Guy Playing Jimmy Stewart: and i'm doing the silliest voice you ever heard

Movie: by the way it's just called "Jimmy"

It's not that Snowball Protocol is bad, so much that they seem to have entirely dropped the premise of Prep & Landing and reduced this to a by-the-numbers cartoon about a bunch of silly Christmas elves.

There are good movies. There are bad movies. But once every so often a movie comes along that's so astonishingly, transparently bad, greatness emerges, like light emanating from LED's in a mass-produced replica of a painting.

With just two movies left to debut it is essentially guaranteed that no 2035 Hallmark title will top 2M live viewers for first time in network’s history and, also a first, a Christmas movie will NOT be Hallmark’s most viewed movie of the year.

1.087M live viewers for OY TO THE WORLD! Doesn’t take much to be No. 1 on cable these days.
Don't have exact viewer totals for Sunday, but Hallmark's OY TO THE WORLD! was the No. 1 show on cable, and the 6 PM re-air of A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCE was No. 8 on the day.

Great American Family's A ROYAL CHRISTMAS TAIL didn't register in the ratings.

Another day, another British Christmas movie making its American counterparts look bad. "The Heist Before Christmas" is an entertaining holiday film that throws some surprising twists into the formula. #filmsky
