Here's when all the Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas Movies Will Air

Any gays this year under the mistletoe?

R1, they tend to use plenty of gay actors in these things

[quote]Any gays this year under the mistletoe?

Jonathan Bennett, who previously played straight in a few Hallmark Christmas movies, will play a homo in Hallmark's first gay-themed Christmas movie.

My mug is ready to be cradled!

You have to give it to Hallmark, they do cast some very traditionally handsome men in their movies.

They're all generically handsome, like Mark Deklin, but still nice to watch since there are always gratuitous shirtless scenes.

I like the Christmas movies with Vanessa Hudgens, who is the Lacey Chabert of Netflix.

I'm sure we can look forward to at least 12 new Hallmark Christmas movies starring Candace Cameron Bure, who I think has been in as many of them as Lacey Chabert and Alicia Witt.

Luke Macfarlane has been the "straight" romantic lead in many of them.

I like Luke MacFarlane. He was believably straight on Killjoys.

Bumping

Who did I miss?

WTF is at 23 minutes 10 seconds...is it the spoof of a spoof?

Luke must make good money doing all this Hallmark crap

Candace Cameron Bure will be starring in MAGA Santa

I hosted the Miracles of Christmas Preview!

I just heard a radio ad for “Christmas in Vienna”! Hallmark Channel. Tonight, bitches.

Candace will be starring in Make the North Pole Great Again

Will Vancouver be starring as Vienna?

Vancouver is known for its acting versatility, although usually it plays Manhattan in these Hallmark movies.

Candace Cameron Bure as Megan Kelly in Santa Clause is White

Feisty drifter Nomi Utah shoved Crystal Canada right down the COVID stairs this year.

[quote]Hallmark typically films the majority of its Christmas movies in Canada because of tax breaks and beautiful locations. However, Utah and Utah County run a close second. The crews can’t get into Canada because of COVID-19, so the Beehive State won out this year.

I’ve seen some of those movies with the Elders & the newbies and I’m not sure they are the Holiday get togethers that Hallmark likes to hyperpeddle.

“CHRISTMAS🎄JAILBREAK” - has Candace smuggling in a loaded glock and some zip ties in a Kwanza Cake to Lori.

Who are the handsomest men in Hallmark Christmas movies? I personally prefer the rugged type over the boyish cookie-smelling type, but whoever you think is handsome is watchworthy for you, so name away.

WHEN is the GAY movie?????

[quote]WHEN is the GAY movie?????

"The Christmas House" premiers Sunday (Nov. 22) at 8 p.m. Apparently the main couple in the story are heterosexualist; the homosexualist couple is secondary. The parents of the brothers (one straight, one gay) are played by Sharon Lawrence and, of all people, Treat Williams (ehh, it's a job).

I love not Beyoncé. She was my favorite member of Destiny’s Children.

[quote]Who are the handsomest men in Hallmark Christmas movies?

Paul Greene (straight) and Luke Macfarlane (gay). Also Aaron O'Connell, Ryan Paevey, Michael Rady and Steve Lund.

Ryan Cooper is gorgeous!

Thank you, R29 and R30. I'll be on the lookout.

WTF?! So all that hype about "the first gay Hallmark" flick was fake? Having gay sidekicks is not new.

God, he's gotten fat at R3.

[quote]WTF?! So all that hype about "the first gay Hallmark" flick was fake? Having gay sidekicks is not new.

They're not sidekicks. They're part of the family in the story and have their own subplot (trying to adopt a child). And I don't remember ever seeing any gay characters (or at least openly gay characters) in a Hallmark movie. So this movie actually is a step forward.

Having a "subplot" to the main characters is barely one step up from the "gay best friend".

A gay best friend would have also been a step forward for the staunchly traditional Hallmark Channel.

I can never make it deeper than 10-15 minutes with these miseries. The Formula just keeps hitting you over the head. They’re no fun to hate watch.

R38, some of those titles are hilarious. They sound like SNL parodies.
