I've been watching a ton of Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. This is the first year I've done so and now I know what I've been missing! Yes, I know these movies are incredibly predictable with questionable acting but man, I love them! So far my favorite is The Misseltoe Promise. I can't be the only one! What's your favorite extra cheesy Hallmark movie??
The popcorn is hot! Cheesy Hallmark movies anyone?! 'Tis the season!

I love Northpole and Northpole: Open for Christmas. They are lighthearted and fun! I adore the over the top Christmas decorating in all the Hallmark holiday movies, too; every available surface is smothered in decorations and the gaudier, the better!
That’s so funny that you mention the decor!! I was watching a Hallmark movie last night, (can’t remember the name) and I was thinking the same thing! They had garland EVERYWHERE! It kind of made me want to do the same at my house.
I love them!! I have been watching since they started last month. lol Nice to see happy movies.
Lololol this is my guilty pleasure!! Love watching them all!!
I’ve been watching on and off. They remind me of those Mills & Boon romance books I used to read when I was much younger. I know the storylines are predictable with happy endings but I still love them! What’s weird is doing so made me like some of the actresses I used to hate like Alicia Witt. I used to get annoyed with the way she talked!
I think it’s funny when a well known actor or actress pops up in a Hallmark movie because you know what point of their career they’re at...
That doesn’t change the fact I still love the movies and dvr some of them!!
My husband thinks I am soft in the head because i watch them! I told him that it is true that the smell of cheese is pretty strong, but they always have a happy ending and for once i can turn something on that has no sex or violence. Actually, the actors in these movies have a high TV Q and they are easily recognized by most viewers. Many have been in family friendly TV series and/or have a strong religious identification. Candace Cameron Burre has both and is now producing her own movies. Many actors also want something their own children can watch. I will say that some of the plots go beyond lame and the surprise ending in the last 5-7 minutes go beyond moronic, but they all live happily ever after!!
I usually gravitate to shows like Homeland and Vikings so while some people might recognize these actors, I certainly don’t! I watch these movies solely for the cheesy-feel good factor which I especially yearn for this time of the year. I’ve honestly never seen a Hallmark movie before and probably will keep it to the holiday season if I’m being honest. I do like a fair amount of cheese but will most likely turn lactose intolerant after Christmas!
My DH came up with an interesting thought. He says that these movies are the romance novels of the 20 teens. I see his point as there is always a romance, they don't kiss until the very last scene and there is a happy ending

That observation is dead on!
