Hallmark Christmas Movies 🎄 comfort & joy ❤️

[Imzadi]

Yes. The trick is to have 2 actors that have a real chemistry, and some good dialog, and maybe a little twist in the plot. Which brings me to a question. What ever happened to "Finding Father Christmas". This meets all the above requirements but I have not seen it air in three years.

Sometimes Hallmark moves the older and BETTER movies to their lesser watched channels. I found two of my favorite older movies on Hallmark Family. (It used to be called Hallmark Drama and only pretty much shows reruns of Little House on the Prairie into infinity.) A couple of others moved to Hallmark Movies Now for a few years. They are finally returning back. Hallmark seems to think we will expand and move onto those channels instead of realizing we may not get all the channels, nor want to watch all of them even if we get them.

I wish they'd go really far back when they do bring older ones back. Only reaching back 4-5 years (usually) isn't really "old".

I completely agree that the older movies and with simpler storylines are often much more impacting than newer plots.

I have another movie question. I watched and overall enjoyed A Crafty Christmas Romance about Jonah and Mandy tracking down an elderly letter writer to Santa. I truly thought there was a similar lost/found movie where the person who was being searched for ended up being a longtime church member at the church one of the main character's regularly attends. Am I making this up? Thanks friends and Happy Thursday.

I wish Hallmark would show some of their "Hallmark Hall of Fame" movies. Specifically, I'd like to see "The Littlest Angel" with Johnny Whitaker and Fred Gwynne.

Starring: Ginna Claire Mason, Jordan Litz, Charlotte D’amboise.
Description: After moving to New York to make it on Broadway, Violette Wagner (Mason) gets a job at Fiore’s, a legendary theater district diner, famous for its singing wait staff, who bide their time there, while awaiting that big break. Luck seems to be on her side when she gets a coveted slot, singing during Fiore’s annual Christmas Eve concert, which is attended by a who’s who of the theatre world. But her big opportunity turns out to be a duet with Alex (Litz), who has been less than welcoming, and believes she was only given the job because the owner of Fiore’s is a family friend. They’re stuck with each other, though, since people have been plucked out of that show and put right on Broadway.

But as Dave and Nell tried to find one another, they were oblivious to the fact that they were work nemeses paired together to throw a Christmas festival for their town. Meanwhile in the present, Chris struggles with relationship issues of his own as he attempts to say “I love you” for the first time to his girlfriend Jo.

As their kids’ love blossoms, so does an unexpected friendship between their meddling moms, bringing both families together for a festive Christmas.

So my (unreliable) TV listings had A Christmas Cottage on this morning. I couldn't find anything else to watch (ha, ha) so I tuned to Hallmark. BUT, it wasn't A Christmas Cottage, it was (as some research found out) November Christmas (from 2010).

Yay, for older movies! A good tear-jerker movie.

My Sweet Austrian Holiday

It's basically the same storyline as "Christmas By Starlight" with Kimberley Sustad. But in Vienna (very minimally portrayed). Of course, Will Kemp is very good.

That sounds better than what I thought. I thought it might be a mediocre version of Love, Romance & Chocolate but without with Lacey Chabert. They have two of the three actors from that movie, Will & Brittany. They even have a chocolate shop in a European country! Glad the story is something else.

I would love a lot more older movies as well. Happy and healthy November, friends

I completely agree that the older movies and with simpler storylines are often much more impacting than newer plots.

I kind of feel like movie-makers can't win. I hear people complain on other threads about remakes - saying writers need to come up with new stuff. But then here we are, complaining that new stuff is too complicated and not as good as old stuff.

I have another movie question. I watched and overall enjoyed A Crafty Christmas Romance about Jonah and Mandy tracking down an elderly letter writer to Santa.

I think you're right. - I can't remember the name, but that story does sound familiar!


The Finding Mr. Christmas competition sounds cute. - I wish it was on the regular channel rather than the subscription one!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Thanks dear PollyannaMom. I do definitely agree some of the newer movies are great. I would appreciate more variety rather than the same movies being shown

On Great American Family this Saturday:

Tails of Christmas
Starring: Ash Tsai and Eric Guilmette.
Description: Caleb is injured in the Army and recovers through help from shelter therapy dogs. As a sign of thanks, Caleb returns home to help Amber run the local shelter and, in the process, discovers his feelings for Amber go beyond gratitude.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Tails of Christmas sounds interesting, thanks Imzadi!

I enjoyed Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas. I loved the town of Covington, ME. I cheered when the hospital patient who enjoyed dominoes got to go home for Christmas. Of course I loved the church choir scene and when the B&B owner placed her late husband's reindeer ornament on hrr tree--good for her! It was a refreshing different overall story that was well done.

Me too.

Spoiler: NOT a spoiler inside

Found this last night. I watched. It's definitely interesting. But, it's up to you to decide if you want to watch it.

Thanks! I'm on my phone right now but will pull this thread up on a bigger screen later and see if it's for me.

Don't wait too long. These have a tendency to not hang around very long.
