Welcome back to another tinsel-covered episode of our Hallmark holiday deep dive, where we take festive movie titles far too seriously and use our Predictability Scorecard like it’s a scientifically validated diagnostic tool. (Maybe one day.) We kick things off by revisiting last week’s trifecta of holiday cheer: We Met in December, The Snow Must Go On, and An Alpine Holiday. Did our predictions melt under the pressure, or did we snowball a perfect score? We break down the meet-cutes, the mis...

Hallmark has unleashed a blizzard of movies, and frankly, even we have limits — so in this episode, we’re changing things up to survive the holiday onslaught. And yes, we know this episode is dropping later than planned — consider it fashionably late, Hallmark-style. First, we review our Predictability Scorecard results for last week’s premieres: Hallmark’s Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story and Melt My Heart This Christmas. Did we accurately forecast the football-themed romance and heartw...

Fluff up your favorite holiday blanket—it’s time for another cheerful romp through the Predictability Scorecard! We start by revisiting last week’s festive double feature, Hallmark’s: Three Wisest Men and Tidings for the Season. Did our predictions hold up like sturdy Christmas stockings, or did they sag a little under the weight of unexpected plot twists? We unwrap the tropes, celebrate the hits, and lovingly laugh at the misses, all in the spirit of good holiday fun. Then we suit up for thi...

The tinsel is twinkling, the snow is suspiciously foam-like, and our Predictability Scorecard is ready for another test. This week, we’re checking in on Hallmark's Christmas Above the Clouds and A Keller Christmas Vacation to see if our predictions soared or totally crash-landed in a snowbank. Then we turn our merry gaze toward Hallmark's Three Wisest Men (yes, they made a third one!) and Tidings for the Season, which sounds like it’ll deliver exactly what it promises: tidings...

The Hallmark machine keeps cranking out Christmas cheer — and we’re here to decode it one predictable plot at a time. This week, we revisit our predictions for Christmas on Duty to see if we nailed the tropes, misread the mistletoe, or underestimated Hallmark’s ability to recycle its own storylines. In true holiday fashion, we forgot something on our list — Hallmark’s A Newport Christmas! This Hallmark title won’t get the full Predictability Scorecard treatment, but we did watch it and we’ll ...

The countdown continues, and we’re back on the front lines of Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas movie predictions! This week, we’re reviewing our battlefield results from A Christmas Angel Match and Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! —two festive missions full of angels, a weatherman, and more small-town charm than a snow globe factory. How accurate were our guesses? Let’s just say our Predictability Scorecard is seeing both victories and tactical errors. Then, it’s time to salute our next challeng...

In this special Halloween episode, we temporarily ghost our traditional Predictability Scorecard (don't worry, it'll haunt us again soon) to simply discuss Hallmark's spooky-season offering: Haul Out the Halloween. Join us as we unwrap this cinematic candy corn of a film — complete with autumn clichés, supernatural small-town charm, and romantic misunderstandings. We’re not here to judge. Okay, we are — but only in the most festive, flannel-wrapped way. Is it scary? No. Is it logical? Also no...

Mount up and curtsy, cowpokes — this week we’re blindly predicting A Royal Montana Christmas, the latest Hallmark holiday export straight from the wild blue yonder. We don’t know the plot, but we’re pretty sure it involves royalty, horses, a flannel-loving local, and at least three montages involving hay, cocoa, and unresolved emotional baggage. PLUS: We saddle back up to see how our wildly confident predictions panned out for Home Turf. Who took the lead after week one of our seasonal showdo...
