S6E17 Sugarplummed
Monday Dec 09, 2024
Monday Dec 09, 2024
Well, Hallmark went full meta with Harmony Home and its Sugarplum series. Honestly, we’re rooting for this to become a real franchise and need that rule book published immediately. Hallmark needed to decide if it wanted this to be funny or heartfelt. And while the sugarplum whimsy was delightfully fun, even gin cookies couldn’t make this family believable. We still wish this could have been our gay movie of the year. We hope they try again—just without the dad.

S6E15 The Christmas Quest
Friday Dec 06, 2024
Friday Dec 06, 2024
While this was one of the most disappointing treasure hunts we’ve been on, the stunning Icelandic landscapes and views almost made up for it. We’d suggest renaming this movie to "Maybe the Real Treasure Is the Friends and Family We Met Along the Way." While it tried to nod to Indiana Jones and The Da Vinci Code, there’s a reason those movies don’t include a baking montage. The pacing felt as uneven as the terrain they crossed. On the bright side, we learned a valuable lesson: always leave a cryptic letter for your children when you discover your next treasure. We did agree this movie featured the best ball gown of the season!

S6E13 Three Wiser Men and a Boy
Tuesday Nov 26, 2024
Tuesday Nov 26, 2024
Well shucks. We were annoyed…by how good this was. Can a sequel be better than the original? The Godfather taught us it’s possible, and while this isn’t The Godfather, it’s one of those rare moments where a sequel delivers. Join us as we indulge in a steady diet of sparks—not often found in such abundance in our Countdown to Christmas reviews. We may do a little bit of fan-girl/boy-ing over Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad, but don’t worry—we still managed to find a healthy dose of snarks to snack on. Also, we’d absolutely pay to see How the Grump Ruins Christmas.

S6E10 - BONUS - Hot Frosty
Sunday Nov 17, 2024
Sunday Nov 17, 2024
We veered off the Hallmark path and straight into Netflix territory for Hot Frosty. Why? For you, for us, for snowmen everywhere. With Lacey Chabert in the mix, it’s basically Hallmark-adjacent. The logic? Utterly absurd—and we couldn’t look away. A snowman, born today years old, can read and talk (but doesn't know all the words). It’s giving Kate & Leopold meets The Knight Before Christmas with a dash of Sabrina the Teenage Witch’s man dough episode. We strongly suspect this town has more snowman-to-human husbands than it’s letting on.
