i /just/ discovered the DELIGHT of hallmark xmas movies. my life will never be the same.
i’m delighted by your delight! i’ve watched A LOT of hallmark xmas movies. last christmas my sister and i watched pretty much every single one in their lineup and we definitely have our faves that we’ve watched multiple times since then.
here’s some hallmark xmas movie recs (that you definitely didn’t ask for but i’m giving you anyway because i’m excited and you’re new to the joys of these movies):
a princess for christmas:
highlights include: bby sam heughan and katie mcgrath, surprise royalty trope, and a royal christmas ball where katie looks amaaazing. goood shit.
i’d give it a solid 5/5 snowflakes; hits all the right tropes
highlights include: secretly royalty and runaway princess tropes, a magician, and biana evigan’s face
definitely merits a solid 3.5 christmas cookies
highlights include: a dope ass governess, a tiny princess who just wants someone to be her friend, a royal ball where, le gasp, the royalty dances with the governess.
this one earns itself 4 outta 5 jingle bells
edit: rachel says this is worth 6 outta 5 jingle bells at least, i see her point
this one is so damn good? tabloid reporter pretending to be runaway bride pretends to be someone’s girlfriend. it’s like hallmark trope inception. and it’s gr9.
highlights include: katrina law. which is the only thing i needed to know before wanting to immediately watch the thing.
edit: rachel pointed out i didn’t rate this one and i should have
i rate snow bride an easy 5,000,000 sugar plum fairies
highlights include: enemies to lovers trope, “he’s hiding something but it’s not what you think”, and “she’s hiding something but it’s not what you think”, “barely friendly competition”, trapped in a department store!
highlights include: “best use of the fake dating trope”, friends to lovers trope, and it’s just such a ridiculously cute movie
definitely earns 5/5 gingerbread ladies
the nine lives of christmas:
this. one. is. my. favorite. i’ve. watched. it. 6. times.
highlights include: cats! seriously. there’s cats. also accidental roommates trope, smart capable lady, will they won’t they, and a hot firefighter.
this one earns 7 outta 5 reindeer because i like it that much
mkay. there’s more i super like but imma stop now because this feels excessive now . . . ENJOY THE HOLIDAY CHEER AND WHAT NOT.
edit: thank you rachel for your input
