AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: TWELVE DATES 'TIL CHRISTMAS (EPISODE 3 & EPISODE 4) December 12, 2025 | Hallmark Mystery Channel CAST & CREW OF: TWELVE DATES 'TIL CHRISTMAS (EPISODE 3 & EPISODE 4) Mae Whitman as Kate Julian Morris as Callum Jane Seymour as Evelyn Nathaniel Parker as Mac BRAN’S TWELVE DATES 'TIL CHRISTMAS (EPISODE 3 & EPISODE 4) SYNOPSIS Kate is at the coffee shop the next morning, lost in thought about Richard. Laura shows up and immediately asks for the latest. Kate hands her the phone, and Laura sees that Kate still hasn’t responded to his text. Laura calls her out — she can’t do to Richard what she’s done to other guys. Text him back. Kate finally does, but she decides she’s still going to keep moving forward with the 12 Dates. The next date is with Liam, a guy she dated a few years ago — and apparently ghosted. Naturally, the date is an escape room, because nothing says closure like being trapped together. They end up working well as a team, make up, and the sparks start to fly. After they escape, Kate asks him to grab coffee the next morning. Later, she stops by the shop to help Calum bake for the upcoming event, since Sarah is too busy to show up — even though the whole thing was her idea. Meanwhile, Kate’s dad goes on a mysterious outing with Evelyn. They stop at a bar, where Evelyn opens up about her past. Eventually, they end up at a cliff and literally scream their grief into the void. Healing! The next day, Kate is feeling overwhelmed juggling two potential suitors. She even accidentally sends a text meant for Liam to Richard. What a mess. But when she shows up for coffee with Liam, he ghosts her — and then texts her to say he “wins.” Cool guy behavior. Back at the shop, Sarah brings in a potential investor for Calum’s posh pies. Calum immediately hates both the guy and his ideas. He kicks the investor out… then kicks everyone else out too — and ends up breaking up with Sarah. When Kate finds out, she assumes it’s because Sarah told him about his ex, which opens up a whole emotional can of worms Kate was not prepared for. It’s time for the next date: salsa dancing. Kate attacks it aggressively. But wouldn’t you know it — Richard shows up. They ditch the event, wander around the city together, and eventually end up at Kate’s place, where they kiss… only to be interrupted by her mom, Delilah, showing up unannounced. Total buzzkill. Kate wants nothing to do with her mom. When she goes to see Mac, he’s also not interested in dealing with Delilah — but Kate follows him to book club anyway, where Evelyn gets a little jealous seeing her there. Laura discovers that the 12 Dates needs a venue for the final event and suggests Calum’s shop. Calum is not thrilled with this idea. Meanwhile, Kate’s mom keeps trying to spend time with her and Mac, which Kate resists. It stirs up a lot of old memories — her first Christmas without her mom, and the Christmas after Calum’s mom died, when Kate was there for him. Eventually, Calum agrees to host the party at the shop. That night, he and Kate hang out while she tries to play wingwoman for him. When her mom shows up again, Calum encourages Kate not to push her away. Kate finally talks to her mom and promises they’ll spend more time together at home. Later, Kate goes back to Calum and starts listing all the reasons he’d be a great catch — including that he’s a good kisser. This triggers a memory from their childhood: them kissing, Calum telling her he loved her, Kate panicking and running inside… then coming back out to see him kissing another girl. Back in the present, Calum tells her that kissing her was never a joke to him. And then he kisses her again.

Exclusive $45-off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/DECK // Promo Code: DECK Get 10% off your first month of Better Help // BetterHelp.com/hallmark --- Kacy from The Heart of Reviews joins us to review Hallmark’s festive Christmas/Hanukkah combo movie, Oy to the World!. ABOUT OY TO THE WORLD! When a synagogue's pipes burst, a church offers space. As choir directors prepare a joint Christmas-Hanukkah service, old rivals Nikki and Jake must overcome their competition to unite their communities through song. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR OY TO THE WORLD! December 14 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF OY TO THE WORLD! Brooke D’Orsay as Nikki Jake Epstein as Jake BRAN’S OY TO THE WORLD! SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off in high school with two rival singers, Nikki and Jake. They’re always trying to outdo each other. But when Nikki goes up to sing, her voice cracks — totally embarrassing. Cut to the present day. Nikki is helping her dad at his church and working as the choir director, while Jake works at a music shop. His family’s synagogue is right across the street from her family’s church, and despite the rivalry, the families are friendly with each other. We learn that the synagogue is really struggling. The heat isn’t working and, to make matters worse, a pipe bursts. When Jake finds out that his grandma slipped on the water while checking on the damage, he rushes home from the city. With Hanukkah starting in two days, no one knows what they’re going to do. Jake goes to inspect the damage and spots Nikki across the street. He heads over, and the two immediately start bickering — clearly, nothing has changed. The church offers to let the synagogue use its space. Jake agrees to help with his dad’s kids’ choir, while Nikki helps with her dad’s choir. Naturally, they turn everything into a competition, just like when they were kids. They get so competitive that the kids stop having fun and many quit altogether. They’re encouraged to join forces and form one “super choir” for a joint service. As they start spending more time together, sparks fly. Jake helps Nikki work through her fear of singing in public, and they almost kiss — until he’s interrupted by a phone call. His band’s music is really taking off in the city. Soon after, Jake learns that a record label wants to meet with him. He has to go, even though it means missing the big performance. At first, Nikki asks him not to leave because she’s nervous about singing again, but she ultimately encourages him to go. It’s his dream. At the performance, Nikki’s voice cracks at first — but she powers through. Just when it matters most, Jake shows up, and they sing together. Afterward, Jake tells her the meeting was brief: the label wants to sign them and send them on tour. But he’s worked out a plan so he won’t be gone for long stretches — he’ll move back home and commute to the city for recording. They finally kiss.

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by Aura Frames. Exclusive $45-off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/DECK // Promo Code: DECK -- The amazing Doug Jones is back! This year, he joins us to break down the newest Hallmark Christmas movie, A Suite Holiday Romance. ABOUT A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCE Writer Sabrina stays at a luxury hotel to ghostwrite a memoir. She meets Ian at the bar and lets him think she's wealthy. He's actually a secretary posing as nobility while managing a royal jewels exhibit. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCE December 13 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCE Jessy Schram as Sabrina Dominic Sherwood as Ian BRAN’S A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCE SYNOPSIS We learn about the Cordelia books by Hazel Holly, a beloved series that has been read by many and adored by all. We meet Sabrina, a writer who penned a glowing piece about the books. As a result, she’s chosen to ghostwrite a memoir and is put up at the Grand Fairbanks Hotel in the legendary Cordelia Suite — a very big deal. She meets Grayson Westcott, the man who hired her. She’ll be interviewing him about his life as an art broker and writing his memoir, but she only has until Christmas Eve to gather everything she needs. One night, while working late, Sabrina craves a sandwich. She calls down to the bar, runs in, and starts eating the first sandwich she sees — which turns out to belong to Ian, who’s sitting nearby. He doesn’t mind at all and clearly wants to keep talking, but the bar is closing. Maybe another time. The next day, Sabrina continues interviewing Grayson and learns that he was once Hazel Holly’s butler at this very hotel. He’s hesitant to talk about that part of his life, but when he opens up, she’s completely captivated. Later, she runs into Ian again and they grab coffee. He tells her he works for a charity and that it’s his first time in the city. What Sabrina doesn’t know is that he actually works for the royal family — something he’s keeping very quiet. After overhearing a conversation at dinner, she mistakenly assumes he is royalty. Could he be Lord Braxton? She keeps her suspicions to herself as they continue spending time together and sparks fly. Ian suddenly has to leave town to make sure Lord Braxton doesn’t marry a woman he just met. They reunite at the Christmas ball, where they dance and share a magical evening — until Ian notices Lord Braxton leaving early and has to follow him. He does return for a kiss first, though. Sabrina is both smitten and increasingly frustrated by how Ian disappears without warning. For various reasons, Sabrina never quite asks him outright if he’s Lord Braxton, and Ian never tells her that he works for the royal family. When she joins him at a charity event, she’s having a great time — until she spots a jewelry box in his bag. Lord Braxton is known for proposing quickly… is Ian about to propose to her ? During a dinner date, Sabrina finally admits she thinks he’s Lord Braxton — but before Ian can explain, he’s called away again . After hearing more of Grayson’s story, Sabrina decides to end things before Ian can break her heart. Grayson is baffled and basically says, “How on earth did you get that from my story?!” Sabrina attends a gala and finally learns the truth: Ian is not Lord Braxton. Overwhelmed, she storms out. After more conversations with Grayson, he encourages her to rethink everything. Speaking of Grayson, Sabrina reunites him with his long-lost love, Charlotte — who is Lady Braxton. Grayson insists he’s too old for love, but Sabrina shuts that down immediately. They rush to see each other, and it’s beautiful. Sabrina races to find Ian, but she’s told he’s already left for the airport — except he hasn’t. He stayed because he’s fallen for her. He gives her the jewelry box, revealing not an engagement ring, but a snowflake necklace. They talk things through, make up, and he tells her he’s moving to the States to expand the charity.

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by Aura Frames. Exclusive $45-off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/DECK // Promo Code: DECK -- Brian is back to help us review another UPtv Christmas movie. This time, we’re heading to Montana for Christmas in Big Sky Country. ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRY Becca Collins collaborates with Logan Johnston, the oil company's new PR agent, to ensure her brother-in-law returns home safely for the holidays after an incident on an oil rig. Can Becca trust Logan's intentions? AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRY Decembr 14 2025 | UPtv CAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRY Rebecca Dalton as Becca Collins Olivier Renaud as Logan Johnston BRAN’S CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRY SYNOPSIS We meet Becca Collins, who runs Woof Moon. The company is not doing great. She’s even taken an online business course, but it hasn’t helped much. Then we meet Logan Johnston. He used to work in sales but has recently been promoted to PR at an oil rig company — despite the executives not believing he’s the right fit for the job. Becca’s brother-in-law works on an oil rig, and his communication suddenly gets cut off. Panicked, Becca calls the company and is connected to Logan. Logan doesn’t really have any information. She calls back again, and Logan starts to feel guilty about how little he can offer. Wanting to do something meaningful, Logan decides to visit the family in person to reassure them and share what good news he can — that the workers are safe. He meets the family and tries to stick up for Big Oil. His boss then instructs him to take photos with the family to show that the company “cares.” Logan does, which upsets Becca. She gets over it fairly quickly when Logan returns to check on her. He offers to help update Woof Moon’s website — web design is his real passion. They spend time together in the mountains and nearly kiss, until a kid shouts “EWWW!” from far away. Becca’s brother-in-law eventually comes home safe — but then promptly goes back out to the rig to help a buddy. Because he’s returning voluntarily, he won’t be covered by insurance, and his family doesn’t know. Logan does. Logan knows a lot more than he’s letting on. His boss is pushing him to get the families of the remaining workers to sign paperwork that would essentially waive their rights. When Becca and her sister discover that Logan knew the truth, they’re furious. But Logan has set up a radio system that allows them to communicate with the rig, so they reluctantly keep him around. They finally make contact, only to find that Becca’s brother-in-law has his arm pinned under debris. Logan talks to him to keep him awake, and during the tense moment, he admits to Becca that he has feelings for her. Everything works out, the rescue is successful, and Becca and Logan finally kiss.

Alonso & Jacks are back to dive into the newest Netflix Christmas movie Jingle Bell Heist — a holiday rom-com with equal parts mischief and heart. ABOUT JINGLE BELL HEIST At the height of the holiday season, two strangers — retail worker Sophia and repairman Nick — reluctantly team up to rob one of London’s most famous department stores on Christmas Eve. As their heist plans unfold, secrets surface and unexpected feelings begin to grow, proving that sometimes the best kind of trouble leads straight to the heart. AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR JINGLE BELL HEIST November 26, 2025 | Netflix CAST & CREW OF JINGLE BELL HEIST Olivia Holt as Sophia Connor Swindells as Nick Lucy Punch as Cynthia Sterling BRAN’S JINGLE BELL HEIST SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with a guy and a gal about to rob a joint. He says, “Let me do it, I have a record.” She says, “Let me do it, I can break into the safe.” They both go for it. Cut back two weeks. We see this same gal, Sophia, pickpocket a guy who’s being mean to some buskers. Then we see that guy from the beginning, Nick, trying to find a new flat — but they’re all too expensive. We see Sophia go to work at a fancy store called Sterlings, the same one she was planning to rob at the beginning. She hates it when people are mean. When a woman mistreats an employee, Sophia steals her dog’s diamond collar. Nick, who works at a cell phone repair shop, is able to watch the Sterlings security cameras and sees her do this — and also sees her steal some petty cash. But there’s a good reason: her mom is very sick and needs an expensive treatment. Nick visits her the next day, asks if she knows where he could find a diamond collar, and hands her a USB before scurrying off. That night, she watches it: it’s a video of her stealing, with a message to meet him the next day. She does, and he blackmails her into helping him rob the Sterlings security locker. She says no way — while pickpocketing his locker. Needing the money, she agrees to help him in exchange for a cut, because she knows his identity as the guy who installed the security footage and who was arrested for stealing already. They successfully break in — but everything in the locker is already gone. They decide to call a truce. The next day at work, Sophia finds out that someone really did steal all the stuff (she suspects Nick) but also overhears that Sterling keeps $500,000 in cash in his personal office safe. She goes to talk to Nick about it and overhears him having a conversation with his ex about her and their kid moving away. He promises Sophia he didn’t rob the store without her, and they agree to work together again. Sophia discovers the type of safe it is and assures Nick she can crack it. But they need a key fob that generates a new code every sixty seconds, which Sterling keeps in his bedroom. She tells Nick they need to figure out a way to get him into Sterling’s bedroom to steal the fob. Nick admits to Sophia he never actually stole from Sterlings. The owner did it himself for the insurance money. He framed Nick, who took a plea deal for a shorter prison sentence so he wouldn’t miss his daughter’s life. They consider giving up — until they find out that Sterling’s wife (who hates him) will be at a fancy gala. They hatch a plan to get him there, seduce her, and have her bring him back to her place — hopefully stealing the fob along the way. They get all fancy and head to the gala. It works. But when they get back to her place, they find out she recognized him. They’ve been found out. She offers to give them the fob if they cut her into the deal. They hatch a new plan to break in after the store closes on Christmas Eve. The fob works, but when the door opens, they discover another door that requires Sterling’s DNA to unlock. All is lost — until Sophia gives her DNA. Turns out Sterling is her dad. Her mom worked there, Sterling got her mom pregnant, then fired her and cut her off completely. They get in and put the money in a bag. On their way out, a security guard comes to investigate. They hide but are caught when Nick sneezes. They make a run for it but are ultimately caught. Sophia says she’ll take the fall if she can give her mom her cut, so that he can be with his daughter. Before running out, she gives Nick a kiss. While they’re being chased, Sterling shows up with the police to see what’s been taken. When the locker opens, all the stolen goods from the vault are in there. Cynthia (Sterling’s wife) had told Sophia and Nick she didn’t want a cut of the money — she wanted Sterling arrested so she could take over the company. She promised to take care of them for their help. She also told them where Sterling hid his stolen goods before the insurance claim went through. Sophia and Nick moved all those goods into the safe so Sterling would get caught for insurance fraud. It works. When the security guard recognizes Sophia, she tells him what she knows, and he lets her go free. Nick and Sophia meet back up later, and, of course, they share a kiss.
