ABOUT THE BEST THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS This faith-based musical follows the story of overcoming hardship through community, family, and the magic of Christmas.

AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE BEST THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS December 20, 2025 | UPtv CAST & CREW OF THE BEST THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS Megan Alexander as Kara Hunt Derek Hinckley as Dylan BRAN’S THE BEST THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with Dylan playing a tune for his wife, Kara, while she folds laundry. He keeps singing, “I’m gonna make you romantic,” and she starts singing along with him. Dylan is an aspiring musician, even though he’s definitely getting a bit too old for this, especially with four kids — including 18-year-old Molly, who is also an aspiring musician. Molly goes with her dad to one of his gigs, where a record executive notices them and ends up signing them to a record label! Off to Nashville they go, despite Kara being really hesitant about the idea. But Dylan is the man of the house, and he makes the rules. On Christmas Eve, Dylan gets devastating news — Molly has been killed in a car crash. Dylan spends the next part of the movie acting like a bit of a dirtbag. The record label woman tries to make a move on him, and he realizes how much he’s been screwing things up. In frustration, he smashes his guitar on the ground. He visits Molly’s gravesite and has a heartfelt conversation with the pastor. Afterward, he apologizes to Kara and the rest of his family. He decides to hold a fundraiser in Molly’s honor, encouraging everyone to bring warm clothes to donate — something Molly was very passionate about. The fundraiser is a smash hit. Dylan brings out Mark Wills and his youngest daughter to perform a song that he and Molly were working on before she passed, The Best Thing About Christmas . The family ends the night by putting up the Christmas tree together, happy and united. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Alonso & Jacks are here to wrap up the Netflix Christmas season by reviewing the final Netflix Christmas movie of the year, My Secret Santa. ABOUT MY SECRET SANTA Taylor disguises as Santa at a resort to fund her daughter's ski lessons. Working with the charming manager Matthew, she finds holiday cheer and a chance at love amidst challenges. AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR MY SECRET SANTA December 3 2025 | Netflix CAST & CREW OF MY SECRET SANTA Alexandra Breckenridge as Taylor Jacobson Ryan Eggold as Matthew Layne Tia Mowry as Natasha Burton BRAN’S MY SECRET SANTA 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 the same gal, Sophia, pickpocket a guy who is being mean to some buskers. We then see that guy from the beginning, Nick, trying to find a new flat, but everything is too expensive. Sophia goes to work at a fancy store called Sterlings — the same store she was planning to rob at the beginning. She hates it when people are mean, so when a customer mistreats an employee, she steals the woman’s dog’s diamond collar. Nick, who works at a cell phone repair shop, watches the Sterlings security cameras and sees her do this — and also notices her stealing some petty cash. But there’s a good reason: her mom is very sick and needs 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, Sophia watches the video — it’s footage of her stealing, along with a message to meet him the next day. She meets him, and he blackmails her into helping him rob the Sterlings security locker. She says no while pickpocketing his locker. Needing the money, she reluctantly agrees to help him in exchange for a cut, since she knows his identity as the guy who installed the security footage and was previously arrested for theft. They successfully break in, only to find that the locker is already empty. They decide to call a truce. The next day at work, Sophia finds out that someone really did steal all the items (she suspects it’s Nick). She also overhears that Sterling keeps $500,000 in cash in his office’s personal safe. She goes to talk to Nick and overhears him having a conversation with his ex about her and their child moving away. He promises Sophia he didn’t rob the store without her. They agree to work together again. Sophia figures out what kind 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. Sophia tells Nick they need to find a way to get into Sterling’s bedroom to steal the fob. Nick admits to Sophia that he never actually stole from Sterlings. The owner did it himself for the insurance money. He framed Nick, who took a plea deal to avoid missing his daughter’s life. They consider giving up until they learn that Sterling’s wife — who hates him — will be at a fancy gala. They hatch a plan: get him in, seduce her, and have her bring him back to her place so they can steal the fob. They get all dressed up for the gala, and it works. But back at her place, Sterling’s wife recognizes Nick. They’ve been found out. She offers to give them the fob if they cut her into the deal. They plan a new break-in after the store closes on Christmas Eve. The fob works, but when the door opens, they discover another door requiring Sterling’s DNA. All seems lost — until Sophia uses her own DNA. It turns out Sterling is her father. Her mom worked there, Sterling got her pregnant, then fired her and cut her off completely. They get inside, grab the money, and on their way out, a security guard comes. They hide but are caught when Nick sneezes. They run, but are ultimately captured. Sophia offers to take the fall if Sterling gives her mom her cut, ensuring he can be with his daughter. Before escaping, she kisses Nick. While they’re being chased, Sterling shows up with the police to see what’s been taken. When the locker is opened, all the stolen goods are inside. We learn that Cynthia, Sterling’s wife, told Sophia and Nick she didn’t want a cut of the money — she wanted Sterling arrested to take over the company. She promises to take care of both of them for their help. She also reveals where Sterling had hidden his stolen goods before the insurance claim goes through. Sophia and Nick move the items into the safe, ensuring Sterling is caught for insurance fraud. When the security guard recognizes Sophia, she tells him what she knows, and he lets her go free. Later, Nick and Sophia meet up again and share another kiss, obviously. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Exclusive $45-off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/DECK // Promo Code: DECK --- Jacks joins us this week to break down the next two episodes of the Hallmark Channel Christmas show, Twelve Dates 'Til Christmas. ABOUT: TWELVE DATES 'TIL CHRISTMAS (EPISODE 3 & EPISODE 4) Episode 3: Kate confronts past dating patterns after she matches with someone she ghosted; Mac and Evelyn roadtrip to Brighton; Callum holds a pop-up at the Pear Tree. Episode 4: Kate's mother, Delilah, shows up for a holiday visit, throwing Mac and Kate for a loop; history repeating itself causes Callum and Kate to remember their past. 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 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.

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.

He goes to the coffee shop and bumps into Evalyn — and he’s not upset about it. Kate decides to give the service another shot and ends up on a skating date with a guy named Oliver. Despite the fact that he talks about his ex the entire time, they find themselves standing under mistletoe. They decide to go for it and kiss — which immediately leads to him breaking down in tears. Mac is walking around town getting a little exercise when Evalyn pops out and drags him into a dance workout class. He doesn’t stay long and walks out. It’s time for Date #3. She shows up for a baking competition date and meets her GIANT date, Anthony. The date doesn’t go terribly… until he suddenly wants to talk about marriage and kids. She doesn’t even know what she wants, and he’s like, “Well then why are you even doing this?!” Evalyn helps Mac home and basically tells him to stop feeling sorry for himself. He ends up back at her dance class and crushes it. Kate gets flowers and a card from Richard — the first-date no-show. He apologizes for goofing and says he’s down at the coffee shop waiting for her. But by the time she builds up the courage to go, he’s gone. He leaves his number, so she texts him that he missed out again . He replies that next time he’ll wait all night. This turns into a flirty texting conversation. She finds out he’s a journalist working on a story about the 12 Dates. He’s also a love skeptic. And he loves Die Hard. Maybe this is the perfect match. At the next date event, she talks with a woman who fell for her first date — but sees him dancing with someone else. So Kate becomes fully committed to getting those two back together… and she does. Mac is putting up Christmas lights, feeling himself, until he falls off the ladder and re-injures himself. Instead of calling Kate, he calls Evalyn. She comes over to help — but Kate is NOT thrilled when she finds out. It’s time for the next event: Mates & Dates. A lot happens here. Richard finally shows up… and he might be the hottest guy in the world. Crying-in-her-mouth Oliver is there — and it turns out his ex-girlfriend is Calum’s current girlfriend, Sarah. Calum shows up to support Kate. It’s A LOT. Richard gets frustrated that Kate is running around helping everyone else all night, so he goes to leave. Kate runs after him and ends up kissing him. He kisses her right back — REAL BIG ONES — while Calum and Sarah watch through the window… Sarah pumped, Calum not so much.

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 --- Chase Bridges , YouTube sensation, joins us to review the UPtv Christmas mystery A Christmas Murder Mystery — a holiday whodunit filled with secrets, suspense, and snow. ABOUT A CHRISTMAS MURDER MYSTERY The editor of the Metropolitan Ledger's puzzle section, who also works part-time as a consultant for the local sheriff, is invited to spend the holidays with a family harboring secrets. Soon, she finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation — all during the most festive time of the year. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A CHRISTMAS MURDER MYSTERY December 7 2025 | UPtv CAST & CREW OF A CHRISTMAS MURDER MYSTERY Vivica A. Fox as Cynthia Marshall Morgan Bradley as Vera Vexley Rob Mayes as Troy Sterling CHASE’S A CHRISTMAS MURDER MYSTERY SYNOPSIS Vera Vexley is the puzzle editor for a newspaper and a part-time consulting detective for the sheriff’s department. So imagine her surprise when, while staying with some family friends on Christmas Eve — the rich and powerful Sterling family — she is swept into a murder mystery. The father of the Sterling family, Harold Sterling, has been killed! Vera is on the case. It has to be someone in the house, but who? Was it Harold’s wife? One of his two sons, Troy or Michael? His daughter, Katherine? His daughter-in-law Jan? Or the family lawyer, Darren, who was invited for Christmas? Everyone has a motive. Michael had his father invest in his nightclub but then involved the mafia, which upset Harold. Harold gave him until Christmas to buy him out, or he would go public with the mess. Katherine hated her father’s business, even telling him, “someone needed to protect the public from people like him.” And Darren, the lawyer, was the last person to see Harold and had argued with him that night over business. As Vera digs deeper, she uncovers all sorts of family secrets: Michael and Jan are getting divorced; Troy was adopted because his mother had an affair with an employee, meaning Troy isn’t actually Harold’s son; and Darren was secretly having an affair with Michael’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Jan. Things get even more dangerous. Someone pushes Jan down the stairs in an apparent attempt on her life. Not long after, someone tries to kill Michael by bashing him over the head! Vera carefully pieces it all together while developing feelings for Troy. In a classic big reveal, she gathers everyone and announces that Darren, the lawyer, did it. He was furious about being left out of Harold’s will and, feeling betrayed, killed Harold. He then tried to kill Michael, blaming him for the will fiasco, and pushed Jan because of jealousy. But just when everyone thinks the case is closed… it isn’t! After Jan believes Darren has been arrested, she sneaks into Harold’s office to destroy evidence — proving she’s actually the killer. Vera, of course, is waiting. Jan tries to attack her with a letter opener, but fails. Vera explains the truth: Jan killed Harold because she feared that, after divorcing Michael, she would be cut out of the will. She staged her fall down the stairs to avoid suspicion and then tried to kill Michael so she could inherit his estate — still legally hers since they’re technically married. Vera saves the day, kisses Troy, submits her new puzzle to her editor just in time for the deadline, and the Sterlings… live happily ever after.

We’re finally caught up on Hallmark Christmas movies, so it’s time to head back to UPtv with Ryan. Today, we’re reviewing Christmas in Amish Country. ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY A faltering chef returns to her Amish roots in Pennsylvania, finds solace in slow-cooking, and rekindles a friendship with a sweet farmer from her past. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY November 30 2025 | UPtv CAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY Ella Cannon as Claire Jason Tobias as Jack BRAN’S CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY SYNOPSIS It’s December 20th and we’re at a fancy new restaurant. Chef Claire is making very fancy food — we’re talking liquid nitrogen levels of fancy. But it’s too fancy. The reviews are awful, and her manager encourages her to sell ASAP. There’s no saving this sucker. Reporters love a downfall story, so they’re outside her apartment. She mistakes one of the reporters for her rideshare driver. With her flight canceled, she asks him to drive her to Missouri — a 7-hour trip. Looking for the scoop, he says yes and doesn’t tell her who he really is. His name is Jack, and they actually kind of hit it off. She even moves to the passenger seat. They arrive in Versailles, Missouri. Jack is stunned to find out it’s an Amish town! Her mom? Amish. Her sister-in-law? Amish. The queen of modern molecular gastronomy… is Amish! Jack even saves her mom from an oncoming truck. Hero moment unlocked. This whole time, she thought his name was Chad — her “driver.” He corrects her: he’s Jack, and he finally comes clean. Claire is not thrilled, but since he saved her mom’s life, he gets to stay with the family. Her family doesn’t know what kind of food she really cooks… or about the bad reviews. Jack agrees to keep that quiet. Since he didn’t plan on this trip, he has no spare clothes. So naturally, he ends up rocking Amish garb. Jack volunteers to help a guy named Eli, who absolutely hates him. Who does Eli not hate? Claire. He’s very into her. When Jack tastes her family’s apple butter and pie crust, he’s like, “Why aren’t you serving this?!” She insists the outside world doesn’t want this kind of food. She opens up about her journey, and Jack seems genuinely interested — though that might just be because he’s churning butter and can’t escape. His back starts hurting, so she gives him an old Amish back rub, and the sparks definitely fly. Jack keeps helping around the farm and loving all the food. He tells her that incorporating her family’s cooking could really bring her restaurant to life. Sparks continue… until she finds his initial story draft, which basically calls her a fraud. The family tells him to get lost first thing in the morning. Here’s something important about Claire: she’s terrified of riding in a horse and buggy because of a past accident. So she’s walking to Christmas dinner when she finds her pregnant friend on the path — her water has broken. Claire has to conquer her fear, take the buggy, and get her to the hospital. On Jack’s way out of town, he sees Claire walking into the hospital. He offers to help, and she tells him to go pick up the woman’s husband — which he does. When he gets back, he tells her he was never going to turn in that hurtful article. He has a new story ready and wants her to read it before he submits it. He brings her back to the farm and gives the whole family a copy of the new article. They all forgive him, and he and Claire kiss.

She discovers there are multiple ways to serve a community. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE CHRISTMAS CUP November 30th 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF THE CHRISTMAS CUP Rhiannon Fish as Kelly Brandt Ben Rosenbaum as Quinn Stokley BRAN’S THE CHRISTMAS CUP SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with Fish returning from the army — her name is Aunt Kelly. Her brother and daughter pick her up from the bus, and when they get home, there’s a surprise party waiting for her! Apparently, it’s the 50th Christmas Cup! We don’t know what that means yet. It turns out there’s a friendly rivalry between two neighboring towns, Bridgeport and Longleaf. To make things more complicated, the towns now share a school board, police, and fire department. When the mayor of Longleaf shows up with a hot firefighter, she has alternative motives: she wants to shut down the troops’ welcome-back party. The firefighter, Quinn, is clearly smitten with Kelly, but it seems like it could never work. Kelly reluctantly agrees to lead her town in the Christmas Cup this year — and ropes Quinn into helping. The Christmas Cup is a friendly competition between the towns, consisting of challenges like a snowball fight, eggnog chug, and more. Kelly soon learns she has to leave town again soon, which makes her sad. Luckily, Quinn is there to lift her spirits. He invites her on a romantic date wrapping presents for kids, and the night goes beautifully. But then she gets a call — the Marines need her to leave on Christmas Day. She tells her friend the news: she won’t be there for the Christmas Cup. But what about Quinn? Kelly insists, he’s a stranger, who cares! Unfortunately for her, Quinn is right around the corner and overhears everything — and he’s not happy. Kelly starts to rethink leaving and goes to talk to Quinn, but he’s upset: he heard what you said. She realizes she doesn’t want to leave, so she announces to her family, after blowing out the going-away cake candle, that she’s not leaving! The military can wait. Christmas Cup time arrives, and Kelly is initially sad to see Quinn has joined the other team. Longleaf falls behind early after losing the singing and eggnog chug challenges. But then they make a comeback, winning the light untangle and trivia challenges. Bridgeport takes the spice contest, so it all comes down to the snowball fight, worth 20 points. Longleaf is about to win, but a little girl decides to be kind and not throw a snowball at her bully. The teams agree it should be a tie, but the bully concedes: Longleaf won fair and square. Kelly and Quinn make up — and share a big, romantic kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

ABOUT THE SNOW MUST GO ON Isaiah Heyward returns to Broadway after a decade, but faces challenges in finding a director. He saves a Christmas musical and discovers love, family, and friendship as the greatest holiday gifts. He reunites with his family and friends. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE SNOW MUST GO ON November 28, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF THE SNOW MUST GO ON Corey Cott as Isaiah Heyward Heather Hemmens as Lilly-Anne BRAN’S THE SNOW MUST GO ON SYNOPSIS The movie starts with a Rudolph musical. It’s safe to say this is off-Broadway. Actor Isaiah Heyward wrote, directed, and stars in the one-man show that no one cared about. He put his heart and soul into it, working on it for over a year. His sister, Jess, and her daughter, Aurora, show up to cheer him on and invite him home for Christmas. He says he has a big Broadway audition tomorrow, so he can’t come. Isaiah shows up for the audition and sees a poster for a musical he was in long ago. Now, he can’t even get in the room to audition before the casting director leaves for the day. To make matters worse, he gets fired from his caroling gig for showing up late. With nothing else going on, he heads home to Hancock. His sister picks him up and immediately guilt-trips Isaiah for not being around for Aurora, who is struggling to adjust to her parents’ divorce. To make it up to her, he offers to pick her up from school — and naturally ends up taking over as director of the Christmas musical when the old director quits. The school guidance counselor, Lilly-Anne, gets roped into being the staff supervisor. But it turns out Isaiah doesn’t just have to direct — he has to finish writing the show, which happens to be about reindeer. It doesn’t take long for Lilly-Anne to open up to him about her past. Isaiah discovers that one of the kids in the theater program is the daughter of the woman cast in the musical he wanted to audition for. He hatches a plan: he’s going to cast himself as the lead to impress her. Aurora hears about his plan and volunteers to help make his vision come to life. Lilly-Anne helps Isaiah learn how to work with kids, including helping one student, Steven, conquer his fear of singing in public and audition for the musical. There’s a lot of confusion over why Isaiah cast himself as the lead, but Aurora convinces everyone they’re lucky to learn from a Broadway legend. He starts spending more time with Lilly-Anne outside of rehearsals — holding hands while looking at Christmas lights, watching a movie together, and shopping for a bad Charlie Brown-style Christmas tree. After showing off his stage lighting setup, Isaiah and Lilly-Anne share a kiss — but he’s conflicted because he hasn’t told her the truth about why he’s the lead. To help the kids feel comfortable performing in front of an audience, they go Christmas caroling. The more Isaiah cares about the kids, the wiser he feels — but it’s time for the final dress rehearsal. He finds out a producer will be in the audience, so he goes out there and crushes it. The producer finds him backstage and invites him to the city on Christmas Eve to audition. Isaiah is thrilled — it’s what he’s been waiting for. Unfortunately, Lilly-Anne overhears, is upset, and demands he tell the kids the truth, or she will. It does not go well. He goes to the audition but can’t focus, constantly thinking about letting the kids down. He tells the producer he has to return to Hancock to see the lead — the kids’ performance — and pleads with her to come with him. She shows up just in time to give a pep talk, and Isaiah arrives behind her to apologize to everyone. The show is a smash hit. He tells Lilly-Anne this is his favorite standing ovation. He confesses that he has a new dream — one with her — and decides he doesn’t want to go back to Broadway. The snow machine starts, they kiss, and he quips, “The snow must go on.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR WE MET IN DECEMBER November 27, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF WE MET IN DECEMBER Autumn Reeser as Annie Lane Niall Matter as Dave Weeks BRAN’S WE MET IN DECEMBER SYNOPSIS We meet Annie and Dave. They’re about to say goodnight after having an amazing night together in the hotel lobby. They’re talking like they’ll be on the same plane in the morning, so they’ll see each other again in just four hours. The next morning, he’s nowhere to be found. She really has to leave for the airport. She knows his last name but not his room number, so she leaves her number on a sticky note with the lady at the front desk. Cut to Dave — his alarm was set for PM. He rushes to the airport without stopping by the front desk. Womp womp. They both start searching online for each other, but it’s just impossible. We learn how they met in the first place: a bad storm delayed both of their flights, so they went to a nearby hotel. She bumped into Dave on the way in, the doors instantly flew open, and they spent the whole night talking. They know Chicago is home for both of them. Through conversations with their loved ones in the present day, we get flashbacks of the night before. We find out she’s in fashion, and he’s in finance and wants the perfect Christmas to honor his late father. They’re different, but it works. She remembers some of the things he told her he was going to do on Christmas, including visiting his childhood home. She’s explaining it to her friend, and her friend’s like, “Oh, I know that house.” When they pull up, it’s a new construction still being built. Dead end. He remembers her talking about this coffee shop, so he goes there. Another dead end — but he leaves his number. She posts her story on a missed-connections app and gets a hit — a guy named David asks to meet at that same coffee shop. A woman shows up saying she works for a guy named Dave. Unfortunately, wrong Dave. Hate to see it. They have another close encounter at a Christmas concert — she went to the early show, he went to the late show. He remembers that she invited him to a Christmas Eve service. He just has to find that church. But first — the Christmas tree lot. They both happen to be there at the same time but don’t bump into each other. We get to see the goodnight scene again, but this time we see that he stopped the elevator from closing completely and came back to kiss her real good. They also bump into each other again at another Christmas pageant — he even sees her through the crowd but assumes he’s hallucinating. She makes one last-ditch effort by asking a radio DJ to read a message on-air asking him to meet her in front of a Christmas tree — but he never shows. He discovers that his sister bought one of Annie’s handmade dresses at the market. He runs down there, but it’s closed. Still, he decides to give the church a shot — and wouldn’t you know it? They find each other. They both say they’ve been looking for each other! He immediately gets her number and asks her out on a proper date. They celebrate finding each other with a kiss as the snow falls around them. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Exclusive 10% off entire order - www.kringles.com // Promo Code: HALLMARK25 --- The amazing Dave White joins us to break down this year’s animal-themed Hallmark Christmas movie: Christmas at the Catnip Café. ABOUT CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉ Olivia Pierce , a marketing executive, discovers her late great aunt's cat café in New York, which she believes will be a Christmas miracle. As she helps plan fundraising events, Olivia gains a deeper appreciation for the feline inhabitants and the special place her great aunt created. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉ November 30, 2025 | Hallmark Movies & Mysteries CAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉ Paul Campbell as Ben Erin Cahill as Olivia BRAN’S CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉ SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with a TON of kittens . Suddenly, we flash back 30 years: a young Olivia is walking into her house when she hears something… could it be a cat? And that’s it for the flashback—obviously, a necessary flashback. Cut to the present day. Olivia is checking out a place way out of her price range when she gets a text from a lawyer: they need to talk about her aunt’s estate. She’s been given half of a cat cafe . Olivia’s wheels start turning—if she can convince the other owner, Ben, to sell the cafe, maybe she can afford that dream place! But Ben is no ordinary owner. He’s an overly generous vet, giving pet care away for free and taking on way too many patients. The good news for Olivia: Ben never says no . She walks into the cafe, plays peekaboo with a cat, and dives straight into business with Ben. She wants him to sell. He’s not having it—the cafe is very important to him and also acts as a place to get cats adopted. It turns out Ben lives right down the block from Olivia’s aunt’s house. He’s searching for a binder about Catnip Christmas that’s gone missing and is surprised to find Olivia there. She finds the binder, and he explains that Catnip Christmas was his aunt’s pride and joy. He’s not sure how he can manage it all on his own. Olivia offers to help—but only if he agrees not to delay the sale of the cafe. Ben says he doesn’t want to sell. Olivia reminds him he can’t stop the sale, only slow it down. She says she’ll be all in on the project as long as he agrees to sell. He reluctantly agrees, thinking she won’t actually want to move forward with the sale. Olivia quickly realizes she’s in for a lot more than she expected: cat puppet shows, story time, and all sorts of festive events. Along the way, Olivia and Ben start getting closer. He even helps decorate her Christmas tree. Through a flashback, we learn that little Olivia once found a kitten outside her aunt’s house. Could this cat cafe all stem from that moment? As they spend more time together, Ben opens up about feeling like life’s big moments happen for everyone else—babies, milestones—and that he wants something for himself before it’s too late. The sparks begin to fly, and while decorating the cafe for an event, Olivia and Ben share a big, sweet kiss . Complications arise when Olivia admits she still plans to sell—the life she has in California can’t be ignored. She tells Ben it’s hard because she really likes him. He reminds her that they made a deal, so he’ll move forward with the sale. On her way out of town, Olivia stops at a mechanic and sees a kitten. The mechanic tells her he adopted it from this cat cafe. Olivia takes it as a sign and rushes back to the cafe—only to find the contract has already been signed with a developer. But the developer is holding a cat, so Olivia asks nicely… and he rips up the contract . Olivia is staying, and the movie ends with her and Ben celebrating—and kissing again .

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by Racine Danish Kringles. Exclusive 10% off entire order - www.kringles.com // Promo Code: HALLMARK25 --- It's time to start our journey through the Thanksgiving week movies! Up first, we’re joined by Alonso Duralde to dive into this year’s big Saturday release: A Grand Ole Opry Christmas — where country music, Christmas magic, and time-travel nostalgia meet under one roof. ABOUT A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS Gentry Wade, who gave up music after her father's death decades ago must confront her past when Nashville's Grand Ole Opry invites her to honor her late country star dad at their Christmas celebration. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS November 29, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS Nikki DeLoach as Gentry Wade Kristoffer Polaha as Mac BRAN’S A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off like you’re watching a VHS of an old Opry performance: the Winters & Wade Farewell Show at the Grand Ole Opry Christmas Special. Cut to present day, where we meet Gentry Wade , daughter of Jett Wade. She gets a knock at the door from her pal Mac , who keeps pushing her to let him sign her and record some songs. She insists that’s not happening. Mac owns a bar in Nashville, where Gentry works and is mostly happy—despite everyone constantly asking about her father. Why did he quit music? And where is his missing guitar? Family friend Rita stops by with a plea from the Opry: they want Gentry to attend the Opry’s 100th anniversary to honor her dad. Gentry isn’t sure. Over drinks, we learn that Mac and Gentry have been friends since high school, but Mac insists he has zero romantic interest in her. Mmmhmm. Sure, pal. Gentry, Mac, and Rita head to the Opry and tag along with a tour guide who looks suspiciously like Erin Cahill. Backstage, Gentry bumps into Von Winters , who asks why she’s hesitant about attending the anniversary. She explains she always wanted to be a songwriter, but it didn’t work out, and she never earned her place in the Opry Circle. Von tells her that her time may not be up—it's Christmas, after all. She goes out onto the Opry stage to think. A blinding light hits her and suddenly—she’s transported back in time. There onstage are her dad and Von doing soundcheck. Before she can talk to him, she’s zapped back to the present. She runs to tell Mac, who absolutely does NOT believe her. Determined, Gentry sneaks back onto the stage again. Another blinding flash—and boom—she’s back in time, bumping into a younger Rita. Mac, worried about her, goes to the Opry. He sits in a pew, gets blinded by the light, and he time travels too. He finds Gentry and she explains they’re in 1995, right before the final Winters & Wade performance. She tells him she needs to find out why her dad walked away from music. Young Rita spots them and assumes they’re a married couple, insisting they stay at her apartment. The next day, Gentry goes to the Opry pretending to be a label rep so she can talk to her dad. Jett tells her he and Von are getting along great and have songs ready for their next album. This makes Gentry wonder if they’re in some alternate timeline where the breakup never happens. Mac urges her to stop overthinking—maybe they were brought back for a reason. Later, Gentry overhears Von talking with their manager, who wants the duo to change their style. Jett is absolutely not on board. At a Christmas party, she overhears them discussing bringing in new writers. Jett is furious. When he sees her, he assumes she’s part of the label agenda and storms off. Gentry goes outside to the fire pit with Mac and opens up about memories of her father, including a song they started but never finished. Mac asks her to sing it. She does—and Jett secretly listens from behind them. The next day, Jett approaches her to apologize and tells her the song is really good. He asks why she never finished it. She says he passed away before they had the chance. He invites her to come to the Opry the next day so they can work on it together. She agrees, and they spend the day bonding while Mac records a video of them singing. Their session is cut short when Von and the manager show up—they’ve moved the recording session up to December 26 to prep for a world tour. But that means Jett will miss Christmas with his family, and the long tour makes him uneasy. The next day, Jett is missing. Gentry knows exactly where to find him—his “thinking spot.” She and Mac go there, and she basically convinces him to walk away from the duo and choose family. Afterward, Mac and Gentry finally kiss . The next day, Von calls Gentry in and reveals he knows she’s not a label executive—but he thinks she’s a great songwriter and wants to work with her. Before the big performance, Jett tells Von he’s out. This will be their final show. Right before the set, Mac realizes Jett doesn’t have his pick. He runs it over, trips, falls onto a pew—BOOM—transported back to the present. After the show, Jett finds Gentry, gives her his guitar, and she hugs him. Suddenly—bright light—and she’s transported back to the present with that very guitar in her hands. Von is about to give a speech and calls her up onstage. He tells her that her dad was proud of her and that they actually wrote a song together. Von knows . He invites Gentry into the Opry Circle. She speaks about her father, and Von reveals he invited Brad Paisley to perform the song she wrote with Jett. As the song plays, we see 1995 Jett return to the Christmas cabin and hug his family. In the present, Von says he’s ready for that songwriting meeting. Gentry gives him her dad’s guitar, then goes to talk to Mac—and they kiss again. Mac shows her the video he recorded of her singing with her father and tells her he can’t remember a time he didn’t love her. They kiss even more, right there in front of the Opry.

Violet bonds with her mother. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: MISTLETOE MURDERS – 'TWAS THE FIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS November 21, 2025 | Hallmark Mystery Channel CAST & CREW OF: MISTLETOE MURDERS – 'TWAS THE FIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS Sarah Drew as Emily Peter Mooney as Sam BRAN’S MISTLETOE MURDERS – 'TWAS THE FIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS SYNOPSIS We’re at a restaurant and Emily gets attacked by someone with a knife! WHAT’S HAPPENING?! Flash back one week: Emily is full of Christmas spirit, singing Jingle Bells . Famous Ray stops by to tell Emily there’s a new fine-dining spot opening across town. His friend is opening it and asks if she’d help come up with a Christmas meal for the soft launch. Cut to the restaurant, where they’re still scrambling to get it ready. The owner, Danny, is in a huge argument with the contractor because he owes him a lot of money. Danny can’t afford anything and his wife, Lauren, is not thrilled. Danny introduces Emily to Carrie, their sommelier, and Chef John Mark. John Mark is not impressed with her Victorian cookbooks, so she leaves—only to witness Danny and Famous Ray arguing. Later, Sam gets a call: there’s been a murder. Danny is dead in the snow, his knuckles red. Emily goes to talk to Famous Ray to ask more about Chimera and notices his knuckles are red. I’m sure it’s nothing. She asks if he went straight to the Chimera source. While they’re talking, he gets a call—Danny is dead. Flashback: Emily in her Chimera days, stealing money from a billionaire—“You gotta do bad to do some good.” She kisses Aaron (the guy from the last episode). Sam brings Lauren in to question her. She hopes Sam won’t shut them down because “this is Danny’s legacy.” Sam asks Emily what she knows. She mentions the contractor… and the argument she saw with Famous Ray. That night, Emily gets home and finds Famous Ray waiting inside (totally normal, very chill). He’s like, “Listen, I can’t have the police poking around my business. I did punch Danny, but that’s it. He was fine when I left.” The next morning he makes pancakes but has to hide when Sam drops by. Sam tells her Famous Ray left town and to call if she hears anything. Emily checks in on the staff. She discovers the chef and Lauren have a past—and he took the job to be close to her, even though it was a step down. Emily also witnesses a big argument between Chef John Mark and Carrie, the sommelier. On her way out, she sees Sam—and Sam is shocked to learn that Violet’s mom (his ex), Monica, is in town. Flashback: Aaron tells Emily he’s the one who framed their principal back in the day. He was “just trying to protect her.” Violet meets with her mom but doesn’t stay long. Clearly, there are feelings there. Emily goes to get her cookbooks from John Mark and sees the place nearly empty. So she snoops—naturally—and finds paperwork showing Lauren owns 100% of the business. Weird, huh. She tries to crack the safe but gets interrupted by Carrie, who says she probably won’t be around long anyway. Later, Emily runs into contractor Jason, who apologizes for his earlier behavior. She walks into the diner and sees Monica, who asks if things are serious between Sam and Emily. Emily brings Sam to talk to Famous Ray so he can clear his name. His story holds up, but Sam warns her not to trust the wrong friend. Flashback: Emily has trusted the wrong person before. She once confronted her boyfriend after discovering some pretty bad stuff. Back in the present, Emily grows more suspicious of John Mark. Before she investigates, Sam shows up. The place looks closed, but he walks in anyway. It’s dark. He pokes around. We see a hand grab a bottle of wine. Emily calls him—because she’s getting nervous. We see Sam get knocked out and dragged across the floor. Emily panics and goes inside. She sees the wine trail leading to the walk-in freezer. She opens it and finds Sam. She steps inside—the door slams shut. No cell signal. But they see scratches on the steel door… maybe that’s why Danny’s knuckles were red? So these two lovebirds are stuck in a freezer together. Flashback: Emily confronts Aaron. He’s been diverting stolen money into offshore accounts and making deals with terrorist organizations. Cops burst in. Aaron escapes. Emily tells Sam her name used to be Grace. He says it suits her… and then they KISSSSSS!!! Thankfully contractor Jason appears and rescues them. He brings them to a fire to warm up and says someone texted him to come, but he doesn’t know who. Then he saw the safe had been broken into. Jason swears it wasn’t him. John Mark shows up. They drop the act—he’s not French. He gives in immediately. During questioning, he says they should look at Jason. Jason knew the freezer handle was broken. And he “just happened” to know to come help? Shady. Sam questions Lauren next. She says the safe was empty when someone broke into it—because she emptied it earlier and found $30k. No idea where it came from, but she used it to pay Jason so the opening could happen. Sam invites Emily to the grand opening—because all the suspects will be there. Flashback: Aaron is missing and appears to be rebuilding Chimera. The feds ask Emily to help track him down. Grand opening time. Sam and Emily walk in looking SPIFFY. First course begins. The sommelier spills wine on Jason. Lauren sends her home. John Mark then slips up and mentions Danny’s chipped tooth—something no one knew. John Mark panics and runs. Sam chases him. John Mark insists Danny confronted him about not being French, flashed a chipped tooth, and then John Mark later found him dead in the freezer. He moved the body so it wouldn’t ruin the opening. The sommelier returns and disappears with Lauren. Emily follows and finds the sommelier holding Lauren at gunpoint. She spills everything : Danny promised her an ownership stake in exchange for 100k, but since he didn’t own anything, she wanted her money back. He didn’t have it. So she trapped him in the freezer. A fight breaks out—bringing us back to the movie’s opening. She holds a knife to Emily’s throat. Emily fights back, kicks her down, and knocks her out. Criminal: obliterated. The movie ends with Sam bringing Emily to a gazebo for their first date. She says it’s perfect. She tells him he can ask her anything. She’s ready. She reveals she used to be in intelligence, was hunting someone down, and walked into a trap. Grace “died” that day. She took a new identity. He says he’s glad she did. They kiss BIGGGG ONESSSSS. She says there’s more she has to tell him—things she’s not proud of—but he says he knows who she really is. More kissing. The next morning she wakes up excited to get coffee with Sam. There’s a knock at the door—she thinks it’s him. It’s not. It’s Aaron. “Merry Christmas, Grace. You look pretty good for a dead woman.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

She can’t stop watching the game, her date isn’t having it, and they leave. But at least now she can enjoy the game while sipping a drink made by Andrew Walker. The next day, she’s with her family, the Quinns, who are hanging out with their best friends and next-door neighbors, the DeLucas family. Morgan lights up when Gabe shows up. They’ve been best friends forever, but Gabe has secretly been in love with her all along. With both of them single, maybe now’s the time to finally shoot his shot. They go to snag a Christmas tree — at the same lot where Tyler Hynes and Hunter King are inexplicably picking out a tree. And, of course, the magical Santa tree is there too. When they get back home, they find an envelope addressed to Uncle Tommy. Inside is a Christmas ornament. He explains that someone has been sending gifts like this for 55 years — starting as groceries and cash when their family was struggling during his draft into the war, and evolving into ornaments every year. It’s a mystery who the giver is. Morgan and Gabe decide to track down the mystery giver — harder than they expected. After a day together and seeing her in her element at the hospital, Gabe tries to confess his feelings but gets distracted by the Christmas light display at his house turning on. They ask Uncle Tommy to show them more ornaments, and on the bottom of one, they spot a store name. They track down receipts from the ’70s and start combing through them. Eventually, they get a lead — though the giver’s name isn’t visible yet. It’s obvious to everyone else that Gabe is in love with Morgan, but he can’t bring himself to say it. Finally, they track down the mystery giver: Mia, a childhood friend of Tommy’s who’s secretly been in love with him all these years. Feeling a kinship with her situation, Gabe insists she tell Tommy. Mia resists, but Gabe won’t let it go. Morgan confronts Gabe: “What’s up with you?” He blurts, “I LOVE YOU, OKAY?!” She walks away to process it. It’s time for the big Christmas game, and Gabe is nowhere to be found. Turns out he orchestrated Mia’s daughter to be the “troop shoutout of the day,” and gets Tommy to publicly thank Mia. He finally tells her he’s always loved her, and they kissssss. Everyone cheers — including Morgan, who can’t believe everything Gabe did to make it happen. Her sister goes into labor, so they can’t take their traditional family photo. Luckily, Gabe pulls some strings again, getting them back into the stadium to play catch with Bills legends and take their pictures. Morgan thanks Gabe with a big ol’ kiss. Merry Christmas!

It's time to break down A Royal Christmas Hope . ABOUT A ROYAL CHRISTMAS HOPE A nonprofit director meets a prince volunteering incognito at her charity during Christmas. While helping families in need, they develop unexpected feelings for each other — and face the challenge of balancing duty, identity, and love. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A ROYAL CHRISTMAS HOPE November 23 2025 | UpTV CAST & CREW OF A ROYAL CHRISTMAS HOPE Jenna Michno as Julia Carter Robert Adamson as Prince Christopher BRAN’S A ROYAL CHRISTMAS HOPE SYNOPSIS We open at a non-profit, and things are… not great. Director Julia is scrambling to figure out how to save the place. She started Hope for All to give hope for all — but if they run out of money, there’s going to be hope for none. What can they do? Well, they could cancel the Christmas tree lighting. Over Julia’s dead body! She’s determined to figure something out. Cut to a castle. Prince Christopher is over palace Christmas and wants to experience the holiday anywhere else. His parents are not into it, but his mind is made up: he wants to go to America. His dad, the King, agrees on one condition — he must take a chaperone: Malcolm. Malcolm is… not thrilled. So off to America he goes, and off to her family farm Julia goes — which must not be too far away, because she’s quickly back in town to oversee an event the non-profit is hosting. Prince Christopher goes out for a jog, wanders into the event (thinking it’s a store for some reason), and Julia assumes he’s hungry and tries to give him food. He politely declines and runs off. But he cannot stop thinking about her, so he shows up later that night and asks her out to dinner. She reluctantly agrees and ends up opening up about the non-profit’s financial struggles. She also teaches him the finer points of eating nachos and drinking cola. He tells her he wants to volunteer at her non-profit. He does — and he’s great with kids. She even asks if he has any, because he’s so natural with them. He doesn’t, but they keep sharing, and she eventually tells him she was married once — her husband Keith died in a car accident a few years ago. Naturally, this leads to them eating Chinese food in her apartment. They keep hanging out… and he keeps not telling her who he really is. Julia’s friend starts getting suspicious — he’s not on social media, his backstory is shaky, and something just isn’t adding up. So she sleuths. And she discovers: he’s a prince. Of course she tells Julia. Julia confronts him and breaks things off — she feels betrayed. She’s stunned when she later sees that he made a massive donation to the non-profit. And, honestly? It works. She goes to see if he’s still at the hotel, but he’s already left. When she gets back to her office, though — he’s there waiting. They reconcile, head to the Christmas tree lighting, and KISSSSSSSS. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Alonso and Jacks are joining us to jump into a Disney+ holiday movie! Today, we're chatting about A Very Jonas Christmas Movie . Let's road trip! ABOUT A VERY JONAS CHRISTMAS MOVIE Three famous brothers race against time and face mounting challenges during a chaotic journey from London to New York, desperate to make it home in time for Christmas. AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR A VERY JONAS CHRISTMAS MOVIE November 14, 2025 | Disney+ & Hulu CAST & CREW OF A VERY JONAS CHRISTMAS MOVIE Kevin Jonas , Joe Jonas , Nick Jonas as themselves Chloe Bennet as Lucy Billie Lourd as Cassidy Laverne Cox as Stacy KJ Apa as Gene Andrew Barth Feldman as Ethan Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Santa Claus BRAN’S A VERY JONAS CHRISTMAS MOVIE SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Williams — which is how you instantly know this is a Disney movie and not a Hallmark movie. Suddenly, Will Ferrell is there with his family. Apparently, they flew all the way to London to see the Jonas Brothers. Tonight is Will Ferrell’s Super Bowl. When people ask him when he’s making Elf 2 , he’s using the Jonas Brothers to mentally push through it. We’re transported to the theater where the JoBros come out and sing Feels Like Christmas , and we could not be more in. Neither could Will Ferrell. He is loving it. The show wraps and they head to the end-of-tour party. They’ve got a flight in the morning, but their manager is leaving tonight, so he gives each of them a whistle “in case they need it,” and a card for a 24/7 travel agency. Joe rips it up — they don’t need that. Joe wants to go out with his brothers, but they aren’t having it. They’re tired dads in their 30s — what could they possibly be missing out on? Joe breaks into a full musical number about what could happen that night. It does not work. Nick FaceTimes Priyanka to say how excited he is to get home. He’s exhausted. Touring is hard and, according to Nick, he’s the only brother who really works. Kevin FaceTimes Danielle, and she asks if he’s told the brothers his “news.” He has not. Joe heads to the hotel bar where he chats with Santa, who asks what’s got him down in the dumps. Joe just misses the good old days when the brothers actually hung out. After Joe walks away, Santa sings a spell that will remind them of their brotherly magic. Unless they find that bond again, they won’t make it home for Christmas. And to make sure that happens? Santa blows up their plane. The brothers arrive at the airport to find their plane destroyed. Luckily, Brad (their manager) slipped the travel-agency cards into their wallets. They call, and the agent gets them a flight out of another airport — but they have to catch a train in 30 minutes. Their driver is absolutely unhinged, like Dan trying to make it to the Kelly Clarkson Show taping on time. They grab their tickets and even have time for a song about coming home for Christmas. Kenny G pops in for a sax solo because of course he does. But once they board the train, it magically switches from heading to Paris to heading to Amsterdam. Uh oh. On the train, Joe bumps into his childhood love, Lucy, who moved to Portland back when they were in love. She’s going through a breakup and came to Europe for some space. They hug and part ways. Definitely nothing to worry about. They’re shocked when they actually end up in Amsterdam and are forced to stay the night with no guaranteed flight in the morning. Luckily, Ethan — the guy Nick starred with in Home Alone: The Musical — is doing a one-night-only show called Egg Nog with an EGOT and is flying out on a private jet. Maybe they can hitch a ride. Unfortunately, Ethan hates Nick. Ethan played Kevin, Nick played his dad, and it created… weird vibes. They show up to the show, Nick sings a duet from the musical, and he accidentally embarrasses Ethan. So: no plane. Crazily, Lucy is also there. Joe hangs out with her for the night, which gives Santa the opportunity to swipe the passports Joe keeps in his fancy passport pouch. Joe and Lucy jump into a freezing canal and get chased by police — a whole thing — but Joe fumbles the moment romantically. He knows it, so he sings about it. The brothers call the travel agent again, who says if they can get to Germany, her ex-boyfriend can fly them home on his private jet. They rent a car, it breaks down, and they end up hitching a ride with a Christmas tree truck driven by… Santa, naturally. After a heart-to-heart with Santa, Nick hops in the back to hang with his brothers, complete with a song and childhood Christmas home videos. They finally reach the jet — which is piloted by Archie from Riverdale . The dude is unhinged, gets knocked out, and they’re forced to crash-land the plane. It’s freezing. This leads to a massive argument. Nick extended the tour without them. Joe thinks Nick is mean to him. Kevin just wants to sing a lead vocal on one song. They storm off and — of course — sing about it. They eventually find their way back to each other… but now they’re surrounded by wolves. Luckily, wolves hate loud noises, so they all take turns yelling apologies. Santa scares off the wolves. Then Brad shows up to save them and finally get them home for Christmas. The brothers convince Lucy to show up and surprise Joe. He tries to give a romantic speech that absolutely stinks, but it’s good enough because they kisssssss. Then they break into song — and Kevin finally gets to take the bridge. The movie ends with Will Ferrell at yet another Jonas Brothers concert as they sing Sucker.

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by "A Tyler Shaw Christmas". Listen to this amazing Christmas album HERE . -- Alonso joins us this week to continue our journey through Season 2 of Mistletoe Murders with a double-episode breakdown of The Ides of December (Part 1 & Part 2) . It's time to get artsy! ABOUT: MISTLETOE MURDERS – THE IDES OF DECEMBER Part 1: A murder at Fletcher's Grove art show leads Sam and Emily to investigate off-grid. Sam's ex-partner was killed guarding a valuable painting, while Emily's past emerges. Part 2: Emily and Sam investigate deception surrounding a mysterious painting, revealing hidden motives and Emily's own secrets, while Violet makes a special gift. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: MISTLETOE MURDERS – THE IDES OF DECEMBER November 14, 2025 | Hallmark Mystery Channel CAST & CREW OF: MISTLETOE MURDERS – THE IDES OF DECEMBER Sarah Drew as Emily Peter Mooney as Sam BRAN’S MISTLETOE MURDERS – THE IDES OF DECEMBER SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with an art influencer live-streaming. We're at an art gallery for missing artist, Angela Wells. It's got a bunch of never-before-seen stuff that has been found by her granddaughter, Moira Wells. Famous Ray has funded this gallery. Classic Famous Ray. Emily walks into the diner and sees Sam. Violet is back at the Mistletoe and Emily is pumped. We see Sam's mentor and old partner, Reed, come in and give Sam a big ol hug. He's in town doing security for the art gallery. Reed gets there to accept some shipping for the gallery. The dude is running late and when he finally arrives, Reed looks terrified. Obviously, Sam discovers him dead the next day. Emily goes to the bookstore for Moira's book reading when a police officer comes and pulls her aside. They need her to identify if one of the paintings left behind is an authentic Angela Wells. She says it is. It doesn't take long for Emily to find out about Reed. She goes to check on Sam and obviously tries to find out if there are any suspects. He's looking at the security footage and he notices that the live streamer poking around the art house late at night. Sam brings him in for questioning. He says he came across someone with a gun and got out of there quick. The "Bad News Guy," Kyle, is heading out of town for the holidays but while he's still in town, has a flirty fun time with Violet and they talk about the Christmas presents they bought for each other, despite Violet most definitely not having a Christmas gift for him. Sam finds out that Reed was struggling with a painkiller addiction before his death. Sam continues to feel guilty because Reed took a bullet for him early in his career. And Reed asked Sam to help him at the gallery but he said no. He should've been there. We see a flashback of Emily as a kid using her "wiz powers" for bad and changing the grades of a bully to make his grades worse. The boy she's hanging out with is a fan, and they kiss. Back to present day, Emily and Sam sneak around the art gallery to listen in on the investigation since Sam is too close to the case to actively investigate. They catch wind of a guy named Benny who may have a grudge against Reed. They go to do a stakeout and find Benny talking to the art influencer and Moira Wells. How are they all connected? The next day at a book signing for Moira, Emily watches as Moira gets really weird around a girl who said she's adopted too. After that, the bookstore owner, Noah, confronts her. He thinks she's lying about who she is because of inconsistencies in the book. She quickly leaves. Emily goes to talk to Famous Ray about getting them on the guest list for the big art exhibit. On her way out, she asks if he knows anything about underground hackers. She rattles off a few including Chimera and Ray is like, "Oh, are you and Sam working on the same project?" It's at this point that she realizes Sam is still investigating her. Emily is poking around some more and sees the art influencer clean his glasses with the same glasses cleaner found at the crime scene. He said he was there because he paid the security guard to let him see the painting first. Which is why when the painting is finally displayed at a party, he looks confused. Obviously, Emily notices and asks him what's wrong. He says, "That's not the painting I saw." Sam takes this information to his boss and he tells him to stay out of this; he's not on this case. We get another flashback and we see the principal of the school come to talk to her hacking club about someone who stole money from the school's bank account. They think some student hacked into the system and she shuts down the hacking club. Back to present day, Emily meets with Noah. He's continuing to dig into his suspicion about Moira. He thinks she's definitely a fraud, so he decides to apologize to her and ask her for drinks to bury the hatchet. The "Bad News Guy" art influencer is found dead. That's unfortunate. And Piper, the girl who Moira got mad at at the book signing, had her art piece destroyed. Noah tells Emily that he has a glass she drank out of and wants to do a DNA test. But compare it to what? Well, Emily remembers that Angela Wells' paint brushes were made out of her hair. So with the help of Famous Ray, Sam, and Noah, Emily breaks in to steal a strand of it. Sometimes you gotta do a little bad to do a little good. Cut to a flashback showing the principal getting arrested for stealing the money. Young Emily looks concerned. Her boyfriend not so much. Oh hey good news - the art influencer is not dead and he wants to help with the case - he's mad at Moira for not giving him the exclusive. He has a blurry picture of the real painting - it's clearly different, and actually looks a whole lot like Piper. Sam and Emily finally talk about Sam still looking into her further. Emily says she's nervous that if he keeps looking into her, he's not going to like what he finds. Sam brings Moira into questioning, and brings the DNA test to prove that she's not related to her. Moira comes clean - she convinced a very old daughter of Angela that she was her daughter. They believe that Moira came to Fletcher's Grove to scare Piper off. She basically confirms all of that but says she didn't kill Reed and asks for her lawyer. When the cop that was working the case finds out about this, he's pissed. Sam was supposed to be on leave! But that's not the only reason he's mad. He's mad because HE DID IT! Once Sam questions him, he admits to everything. He just wanted to send his kid through medical school and things got away from him. Piper ends up still winning the painting competition and everyone now knows that she's the real heir of Angela Wells. The movie ends with Sam and Emily going for a walk. Sam apologizes for continuing to investigate her. He's more interested in who she is now. They promise not to keep any new secrets from each other. Emily is happy until she thinks she sees her ex-boyfriend from school, Aaron. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by "A Tyler Shaw Christmas". Listen to this amazing Christmas album HERE . --- Brian returns to review the second Hallmark Christmas movie of the week: Tidings for the Season . ABOUT TIDINGS FOR THE SEASON A serious TV newscaster’s life changes when he meets his young superfan and the boy’s hardworking single mom. As he embraces positive holiday stories, romance blooms — but a career opportunity forces him to choose between ambition and love. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR TIDINGS FOR THE SEASON November 16 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF TIDINGS FOR THE SEASON Tamera Mowry-Housley as Lucy B.J. Britt as Adam Kade Elijah-Justus Lewis as Robbie BRAN’S TIDINGS FOR THE SEASON SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with Lucy and her son Robbie watching the news—well, really Robbie is watching because he wants to be a news anchor when he grows up. Lucy, on the other hand, hates the news, specifically news anchor Adam Kade. Lucky for Robbie, he’s going on a field trip to the station. He ditches his group to sit next to Adam and do some “bits.” Adam is confused, but the rest of the news crew loves it. Robbie even tells Adam he needs to work on smiling and sharing good news, and encourages him to try to get viewers to come around more. Luckily, Robbie leaves his folder at the station with his address on it. Adam goes to return it—and ends up asking if Robbie wants to shadow him at the station for a week. He’s unsure at first, but he ends up taking a liking to Robbie—and a different kind of liking to Lucy. At the end of the week, Adam talks to Lucy about what it would take for her to start watching the news. She says they need more good news—and that he needs to wear more color. Since he thinks she’s hot, Adam takes her advice to heart. He shops for a red jacket, bumps into Lucy and Robbie, and agrees to help with the Angel Wish Toy Drive funded by Thrivent Financial. He decides to do a story on it, thinking it’s the uplifting kind Lucy wants—but his producer says no, it’s too happy. Adam pushes back and goes with the story anyway, angering his boss. He takes some time off, which he spends with Lucy and Robbie. They go pick out a Christmas tree, decorate it, and sparks fly. Soon, Adam gets a call from his boss: his happy story is crushing it online. They want more. So Adam starts reporting only happy stories—like one about a retired art teacher decorating trees in the woods to win back his long-lost love. Feeling good about himself and his job, Adam asks Lucy out. Their date ends with a kiss—but is cut short when he gets a call about a Chicago interview tomorrow. Lucy overhears and is upset. Has this all been about his promotion? She’s sad for herself but mad for Robbie. On the night of Robbie’s school Christmas concert, just as it’s ending, Adam comes running in and says, “ONE MORE THING!” He lets Robbie interview him, and it ends with Robbie asking what’s next for Adam’s career. He says he’s staying put. Lucy comes up, and they kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

ABOUT THREE WISEST MEN Three siblings deal with personal changes and their mother's decision to sell the family home before Christmas. Between in-laws, wild animals, and a mall Santa, they try to make the holidays perfect. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THREE WISEST MEN November 15, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF THREE WISEST MEN Tyler Hynes as Taylor Andrew Walker as Luke Paul Campbell as Stephen BRAN’S THREE WISEST MEN SYNOPSIS Luke kicks the movie off by looking in the mirror… this time with a shirt on. BOOOOOO. He and his wife are expecting twins , and that’s making Thomas feel a little forgotten. Stephen and Susie are wedding planning, and it’s a lot. Taylor is touring a video game company where the owner wants him to come run the place—which includes the biggest office I’ve ever seen. But Taylor doesn’t want to move, and since he hasn’t talked to his girlfriend about possibly moving out of state… this gig is probably a no-go. Also, he’s in love. Luke goes to a Lamaze class and it’s an absolute disaster. Apparently Stephen isn’t a pet psychologist anymore—he has authored three books and has a massive leak in his living room. Everything is freaking him out. He and Susie end up moving in with his mom while they get the house repaired. Before Taylor can leave the office, he bumps into his ex, Fiona, who gives him the hard sell about taking the job—and even grabs his hand. When he gets home, he does not tell his girlfriend about that part. The brothers all meet up at Mom’s house and are shocked to learn she’s selling it. They all handle the news very maturely (lol). So it’s time for the last family Christmas. But it’s going to be an even fuller house when Susie’s dad (and his pet bird) unexpectedly show up. They all eat some King’s Hawaiian rolls and agree to make this last Christmas in the house the best Christmas ever. The next day, Stephen gets the holiday off to a rocky start when he accidentally lets Bob’s bird escape. Taylor is stunned when he finds out his girlfriend is actually excited about the idea of moving to San Francisco for the job. He gets weird about it, and she gets upset. Thomas starts acting out because he feels forgotten, and Luke can’t figure out what’s going on. That night, Thomas finally opens up, and Luke has a really sweet moment with him. The next morning, all the brothers commit to making Thomas feel special again. They build a giant Christmas fort, celebrate medieval Christmas, and go pick out a Christmas tree. It’s a great day. When they get back with the tree, Jared the bird shows up and rats Stephen out for letting him escape. Then they try to catch a rodent that’s living in the tree. Then the tree falls over. And just as Thomas declares it the worst Christmas ever… Taylor’s ex-girlfriend Fiona shows up. Taylor promptly faints. Taylor opens up to his family about the San Francisco job offer, and they emotionally unpack it—while literally unpacking a HomeGoods bag. Taylor grabs coffee with Fiona to talk things through. He tells her that if he takes the job, she has to be okay with the fact that he’s moved on. She’s like, “Okie dokie.” Bad news, everyone—Luke forgot his anniversary. He goes to talk to his brothers, which leads to a heart-to-heart-to-heart. They go to get Thomas the one gift he wants for Christmas: a Turbo Man doll. This adventure leads to them getting arrested. Don’t ask. At dinner that night, Mom gives Bob a speech about how amazing Stephen is and all that. And then Sophie goes into labor. She gives birth to the twins, and Stephen immediately steals the spotlight by proposing to Susie right there in the hospital chapel. Then Luke steals the spotlight back by giving Sophie a late anniversary gift. And then Taylor steals the spotlight from all of them by asking his girlfriend to move to San Francisco with him. She says yes. Everyone is happy. Wedding time. Big kisses. And Santa Mark LaClark rolls in to drop off a Turbo Man for Thomas.

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by "A Tyler Shaw Christmas". Listen to this amazing Christmas album HERE . -- Ryan joins us to review our first of two UpTV Christmas movies today — Saving the Christmas Ranch . ABOUT SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCH Carrie is racing against the clock: she has just two days to come up with nine months of mortgage payments or lose her family’s beloved Christmas lodge. When John — a charming developer with unclear motives — shows up offering help, Carrie must decide whether he’s a lifeline… or a threat. Holiday stakes, romantic tension, and small-town heart abound. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCH November 16 2025 | UPtv. CAST & CREW OF SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCH Brianna Cohen as Carrie Williams Jonathan Stoddard as John Dunn BRAN’S SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCH SYNOPSIS Carrie is busy running the ranch. She has a lot on her plate preparing for the Christmas festival and keeps adding things to her to-do list. She gets a call from a mob-boss-level intense banker who insists she come see him today. We find out why when we see him staring at the ranch’s current balance… it’s bad. It’s NEGATIVE $1,038. A guy named John calls—again—to try to convince her to sell the ranch. She’s not interested. So he decides he’s just going to come stay at the ranch anyway. She goes to meet with the banker. It’s not good. There’s been some shady money stuff involving someone named Sandra Flowers, and Carrie has until 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve to come up with $15,000 . That’s only 48 hours. Not great! She calls an all-hands meeting and breaks the bad news: no bonuses… and probably much worse. They all get to work trying to figure out a way to save the Christmas ranch. John keeps trying to talk to her about his offer, but she’s not budging. He’s like, “I can tell how much you love this place. What if I fund building a bigger lodge and you still run it?” He believes there’s huge potential for growth. Carrie is like, “I don’t totally disagree… but still no deal.” John does a little snooping and discovers the truth—they’re really struggling and owe 15k. We also find out that it was the banker who told John about the ranch in the first place, promising him a great deal if Carrie can’t make the money. But John genuinely wants things to work out for Carrie because he wants her to stay and run the inn. Carrie ends up raising the money. It’s looking great. She brings it to the banker and he’s like, “Well, it’s a start… You ran out so fast that you missed the part where I said you actually owe $50k .” So that’s… devastating. Carrie decides she just wants to enjoy the festival and have some fun. She and John compete in the Reindeer Games together and WIN big time. Everything’s looking up—until she catches John talking to the banker and gets furious. “YOU KNEW!” John’s excited to hear she’s doing an auction—maybe this will save the ranch! But… it’s not actually a fundraiser for the ranch. It’s for charity. But guess who shows up… SANDRA FLOWERS. She explains she took the money to help her brother get surgery. In fact, the banker told her he’d pay for the surgery if she stopped paying the mortgage and emptied the bank account. The banker pops in with a “YOU LIE!” The final auction item is a cake—and that money actually goes toward the ranch. It’s looking like they’ll only get about $300… until John pipes up and bids $50,000. He says he wants to stay at the ranch and call it home—with her. And they kissssss.

Alonso and Jacks are back to kick off our Netflix Christmas movie journey — and the first one up is A Merry Little Ex-Mas . ABOUT A MERRY LITTLE EX-MAS A separated couple tries celebrating one last Christmas together with their kids before their divorce. However, the husband's new girlfriend joins the festivities, causing tension and chaos during the holidays. AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR A MERRY LITTLE EX-MAS November 12, 2025 | Netflix CAST & CREW OF A MERRY LITTLE EX-MAS Alicia Silverstone as Kate Oliver Hudson as Everett Jameela Jamil as Tess Pierson Fodé as Chet Melissa Joan Hart BRAN’S A MERRY LITTLE EX-MAS SYNOPSIS We're getting a Christmas story. We meet Kate about 20 years ago, fresh out of college and starting a job at an architecture firm. She goes to a party and dances with a guy named Everett. When he decides to settle down and start his own practice, she follows him to his small town of Winter Light. Flash forward 20 years: they’ve decided they’re getting a divorce… sorry, cautiously uncoupling . Obviously, in Winter Light, you need the mayor’s approval for that. They tell him they’re still going to do Christmas together as a family, and the mayor (along with all their friends) thinks they're completely insane—because apparently you can’t divorce nicely. It’s going to be a full house for Christmas: Kate and Everett’s son Gabriel and daughter Sienna, Sienna’s boyfriend Nigel (who is a Harry Potter tour guide), Kate’s sister, and… apparently, Everett’s new girlfriend. Kate is the last to find out and, shockingly, she’s not thrilled. She runs into Everett and his girlfriend, Tess, while out in town, and it is painfully awkward. The next day, Everett tells Kate he wants everyone—including Tess—to have dinner together tonight. Kate and the kids head to Everett’s house and are shocked to see how chaotic things are. The vibes are weird, but maybe they'll get better… right? The next day it’s time for Christmas traditions! Bright and early, Kate takes the kids to get a tree. At the lot, she meets a hunky young Santa named Chet, who gives her his number. She shrugs it off—until feeling discouraged by all the Tess-ness and her kids rolling their eyes at her eco-friendly traditions—so she decides… yolo. Naturally, their first date is with the entire family: sledding. It does not go well, with Kate crashing. Everett rushes to check on her, and—uh oh—the old sparks start flying. Kate and Tess chat. Tess basically asks, “How did you let him get away?” Everett and Chet chat. Same conversation, obviously. Turns out, Everett worked too much, and she was just too darn environmentally friendly. Everett apologizes to Kate for not being present in their marriage, and it means a lot… until he adds that if he ever marries Tess (or anyone else), he’ll be better. That sends Kate spiraling, and she destroys the gingerbread village she made. She blurts out that she “can’t wait to get out of this place.” When pressed, she admits that once Gabe finishes high school, she’s moving back to Boston to become an architect again. They all have Christmas dinner together and exchange gifts. Kate gets Everett the indoor grill he’s always wanted instead of her usual handmade gift. Everett gets Kate her favorite perfume—made from scratch. It’s very sweet. And then Tess opens her gift from Everett: AirPods. She’s like, “Excuse me… you MADE your ex-wife perfume from scratch?” Things go downhill fast when the Christmas tree catches fire. Chet—naturally—strips down to help put out the fire. Though Kate finds Chet extremely amusing, she ends up breaking things off with him. Later that night, Everett surprises Kate and the kids by showing up to look through their Christmas Eve picture book like they always do—which leads to an almost-kiss. Christmas morning: Tess bows out, knowing Everett is still in love with Kate. Chet comes to pick her up, obviously. With the power out at Everett’s house, everyone heads to Kate’s place—because of course hers is fully battery-powered. When they arrive, the entire neighborhood is already there, praising Kate for everything she’s done. Through her family and friends, Kate realizes that even though she let go of her original dream, she still made a difference. The movie ends with Everett telling Kate he doesn’t want a divorce. He wants to move with her to Boston. Kate tells him she’s not going to Boston. Then they kiss—big ones. A year later, Kate has opened her own sustainability company. She’s the one working all the time… but in a good way. And the movie ends with “You Can Call Me Al.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Season 2 wastes no time getting going! ABOUT: MISTLETOE MURDERS – COLD WAR (PART 1 & PART 2) Part 1: Emily and Sam reunite after a year apart to investigate their chess coach's disappearance, stirring Emily's memories, while Violet dreams of going to the winter dance with her crush. Part 2: Emily investigates the chess coach's murder from inside the school while Sam worries about Violet's date. At the winter dance, a deadly chase unfolds with the killer. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: MISTLETOE MURDERS – COLD WAR November 7, 2025 | Hallmark Mystery Channel CAST & CREW OF: MISTLETOE MURDERS – COLD WAR Sarah Drew as Emily Peter Mooney as Sam BRAN’S MISTLETOE MURDERS – COLD WAR SYNOPSIS Detective Sam is still waiting for an answer: Who is Emily Lane? But she can’t tell him. He leaves, hurt — but not before Emily says she really wishes they could’ve just taken that walk in the snow. Eleven months later , Emily is out for a jog. She’s thought about leaving and starting over in another small town…but she just couldn’t. She loves it in Fletcher’s Grove. Cut to the diner: two teens are hanging out in a booth. One is Violet — Sam’s daughter, who Emily no longer employs at The Mistletoe because of how things ended with Sam. The other is Kyle , and they are very clearly into each other. We also meet Tim Hinley , the chess coach. His team just lost, and he is a full-on grumpy elf. Later, Emily bumps into Sam. Awkward small talk. They go their separate ways. Then we see the football coach arrive home to find a note on his door. He reads it, looks panicked, grabs what appears to be a go-bag, jumps into his car, and speeds away. Speaking of go-bags — Emily has been much more cautious this year, constantly monitoring anything related to Chimera ever since they almost caught her last Christmas. She’s never letting her guard down again. Violet asks Emily to teach her chess. Emily suggests she ask Coach Hinley. That’s when Violet reveals: he’s missing. After that day at the diner, he resigned and vanished. This sets off alarm bells. Emily goes to his house — something’s off — so she takes the case to Sam. He says he’ll look into it. After she leaves, we see he’s still investigating who Emily really is. Emily goes to the school to drop off decorations for Violet and stumbles into the chess team competing. She meets Vice Principal Richard Leeland , who is now acting chess coach. Emily accidentally reveals she knows a lot about chess. Since he only stepped in to help his son on the team, he asks if she’ll take over coaching. She says no. Emily continues to dig and hears rumors that Coach Hinley was romantically involved with a rival coach. Suspicious. She brings this to Sam, and it leads to a big argument. Emily finds the rival coach and asks about it. The coach denies everything — very aggressively — insisting she would never damage her reputation. Emily then stumbles upon Kyle fighting with the VP’s son over chess drama — Janitor Ben Ayres steps in to break it up. Sam arrives and is like, Why are you everywhere?? He takes a call — Emily overhears — they found Tim’s car at the airport… but his suitcase is still in the trunk. The next day, Emily returns to question the VP. On her way out, she chats with Janitor Ben — when a dog wanders in. It’s Tim’s dog. Who abandons their dog? They follow the dog into the basement, where it stops on a patch of new concrete. Emily calls Sam. Ground radar is brought in. There’s a body. Sam later comes to Emily’s house to update her, and sparks fly again — but he spots a piece of paper under her couch and quietly takes a picture of it. Meanwhile, Sam reviews security footage and sees Tim arguing with Kyle before Kyle punches the wall. That same day, Kyle asks Violet to the winter dance. She says yes… just as Sam walks in and arrests Kyle. Emily confronts Sam. He shows her a threatening note found on Tim’s door. In order to help the investigation, Emily agrees to coach the chess team. Kyle returns after being released and insists he’s innocent. Emily overhears the VP chewing out his son . She ends the day playing chess with Janitor Ben. It turns out the VP’s son was selling stolen test papers , and Coach Hinley found out . Then the rival coach shows up to accept the full-time position — but Emily already took it. Emily sees Tim’s lucky tie in her back seat, and Sam brings her in for questioning. Another big blow-up — but later they calm down and almost kiss. Again. Sam retreats… again. It’s Winter Dance time! Violet grabs something from her locker and finds a note: “Stay away from Kyle. This is your only warning.” Emily, also at the dance, takes this chance to snoop in VP Leeland’s office and finds practice sheets of Tim’s signature. Meanwhile, Violet shows the note to the VP. He tells her to come with him. Emily is searching for Violet when she runs into Janitor Ben — who is distraught. He admits he wrote the warning note because he didn’t want Kyle distracted from chess. Why does he care so much? Because — Kyle is his son. Kyle overhears and runs off in shock. Emily hears Violet scream and rushes to the VP’s office. The VP’s son just confessed everything — not realizing Violet was there. We learn the truth: Tim confronted the VP because he thought the VP killed his dog. The VP’s son showed up, panicked, and shoved Tim. Tim fell — his head hit a coat hook, killing him instantly. The VP covered it up to protect his son. Sam arrives, hears the confession, and arrests him. Violet finds Kyle. They slow dance outside in the snow. Emily and Sam watch from a distance. Throughout the episode, we’ve seen flashbacks of Emily’s past — how she joined a computer team and pitched a new game: Chimera. The final shot: Sam reviewing his notes, circling the word Chimera.

This week is presented by "Dial It Back", available now on Prime Video . -- Brian is back for another Hallmark Christmas movie. Today, we dive into a family-sized holiday adventure with A Keller Christmas Vacation . ABOUT A KELLER CHRISTMAS VACATION Three reluctant adult siblings join their parents on a Christmas river cruise through Europe. What was meant to be a scenic holiday turns into a journey of reconnection, self-discovery, and unexpected joy when the family learns that the trip had deeper reasons than just sightseeing. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A KELLER CHRISTMAS VACATION November 9 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF A KELLER CHRISTMAS VACATION Jonathan Bennett as Dylan Brandon Routh as Cal Eden Sher as Emory Directed by Maclain Nelson BRAN’S A KELLER CHRISTMAS VACATION SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with photos of the Keller family. They’re all about to take a Christmas cruise aboard the Dunebae . We’ve got: Cal , the oldest son — recently divorced and trying to invite a new love interest on the trip… but she’s already with someone else. Womp womp. Dylan , the middle son, who is deeply in love with his boyfriend William — who is joining the cruise. Right before they leave, Dylan proposes. William freezes, says it’s not the right time. Dylan says, “Okay, well… clearly something’s going on. So maybe we need some space. Like… Atlantic Ocean–sized space.” Not a breakup — just space . Emory , the youngest — aspiring photographer, newly jobless, single, and hoping someone out there will make her feel seen. The family arrives on December 19th, ready to check in. At check-in, a very charming crew member named Noah helps Emory to her room. Sparks. Are. Spark-ing. Cal discovers his room neighbors are a sweet grandfather and his granddaughter Felicity . Grandpa is very interested in pairing them up. Felicity is not amused. The family competes in a gingerbread house contest — and it’s a full disaster. But onward! They head to their first Christmas market, needing to get back by 7 PM. Everyone can tell something is up with Dylan. They have such a great time that… they miss the boat. Literally. Now stranded, they end up staying at a tiny off–the–grid German hotel owned by a very intense German woman. Emory suspects their parents planned this trip for reasons. The siblings open up to each other a bit. The next morning, they pile onto a three-person motorcycle (it is exactly as chaotic as it sounds) to chase the boat, which is now leaving earlier than planned. They make it just in time — and William is waiting on the dock. Back on board, Dylan asks William again if he’s ready to talk. William still can’t. Dylan decides to bunk with Emory for now. Meanwhile, Cal heads to the hot chocolate bar… and of course Felicity is there. Noah asks Emory if she’d be willing to take photos for the ship’s marketing. She’s thrilled. They shake on it — and that handshake definitely lingers. Dylan eventually tells his siblings what’s going on. He’s afraid William doesn’t love him anymore. They remind him: William flew halfway around the world to be here. Emory shares that she was laid off by email. Everyone finally gets vulnerable. Next port! Dylan and William take a walking tour and have some very sweet, flirty moments. William says, “If I could tell you what’s going on, I would. I promise.” Emory takes photos of her parents for Noah’s campaign. They encourage her to follow her heart — wherever that leads. Cal and Felicity wander their market stop together and the chemistry is real. Then comes the ship-wide White Elephant party. Fun — until Dad nearly falls. Time for The Family Talk. Dad shares that he has Parkinson’s Disease, stage 1 — early and mild, but life will change. They’ll need to sell the house. And they reveal that William already knew because he’s a neurosurgeon who has treated Parkinson’s patients. Dylan goes to William — and they finally talk honestly. It’s tender and healing. Cal opens up to Felicity. Emory finds Noah and just gives him the biggest, longest hug. Next stop. Another market. Emory updates Noah: she’s moving back to Portland to be close to her dad, and she’d love for Noah to visit — maybe go on a date. He says, “Why wait? Let’s go tonight.” Dylan tells the family his big idea: his company will repurpose their old property into a supportive community for people with Parkinson’s. Dylan and William go on a Ferris wheel. They both propose. They both say yes. It’s perfect. The movie ends with the whole family ice skating together — the siblings steadying their dad on the ice — all of them together, exactly where they need to be. 🎄✨ Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

This week is presented by "Dial It Back", available now on Prime Video . This episode is sponsored by Cozy Earth! Use promo code HALLMARK to get 40% off at cozyearth.com -- Brian is back to review a brand-new holiday movie that fans have been buzzing about: Christmas Above the Clouds . Featuring the return of an Erin Krakow and Tyler Hynes pairing, this movie is a little Christmas magic at 30,000 feet. ABOUT CHRISTMAS ABOVE THE CLOUDS Workaholic CEO Ella Neezer tries to skip Christmas by boarding a flight to Australia. But her plan takes an unexpected turn when she is visited by three quirky spirits representing her past, present, and future — and she finds herself face-to-face with her ex-fiancé Jake. As Ella navigates these encounters, she’s forced to confront the choices that prioritized success over connection, ultimately rediscovering love, compassion, and the true meaning of Christmas. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS ABOVE THE CLOUDS November 8, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS ABOVE THE CLOUDS Erin Krakow as Ella Neezer Tyler Hynes as Jake Directed by Peter Benson BRAN’S CHRISTMAS ABOVE THE CLOUDS SYNOPSIS Meet Ella Neezer — a certified holiday grump. She runs a fancy-pants travel company and all of her employees hate her. It’s Christmas Eve, but she could not care less. The new ad campaign isn’t good enough and she wants improvements by the 26th. “I’m not saying you have to work on Christmas… it just has to be better by then.” Very chill. Ella and her assistant Bobbi head to the airport to catch a flight to Australia so Ella can skip Christmas entirely — even though Bobbi has a son, Tim, that she’d clearly rather be home with. On the way, Ella’s sister calls trying to convince her to come home for Christmas. Absolutely not. Ella looks at a photo of her mentor, Marlene Jacobson, and for a second it looks like Marlene is moving . Weird, but let’s brush that off. At the airport, Ella bumps into her ex-boyfriend Jake — the one she broke up with six years ago today. Even worse? He’s seated right next to her on the plane. The plane takes off and suddenly things get spooky. Lights flicker. Window shades go up and down. And then — Marlene Jacobson appears on the seat-back screen to haunt her. She announces that Ella will be visited by three spirits. Buckle up, bucko. Ella falls asleep and is woken by the Ghost of Christmas Past , who is obviously a flight attendant. She shoves Ella out of the plane (casual) and Ella lands in her own childhood. She sees herself and her sister stuck at boarding school over Christmas. Then she jumps to college, where she meets young Jake , the cute librarian who gives her his scarf. They were happy once! Next, she sees an old company Christmas party — back when her employees liked her — and she and Jake are very in love. We get a memory montage: years together. He even proposes at Christmas. But as her career ramps up under Marlene, Ella gets busier, misses more time, and eventually the relationship breaks. She watches herself end it, placing the ring down. Finally, she sees herself snapping at Bobbi last year when Bobbi needed to rush home to her sick son. It hurts. Ella wakes back up on the plane and apologizes to Jake for all the Christmases she worked through. She could have done better. Then comes the Ghost of Christmas Present , who takes her to a bar where her employees are having their own mini Christmas party — and talking about how much they dislike her. Ouch. They visit Ella’s sister’s house, where her sister wishes Ella could just share in the joy. Ella sticks around long enough to remember how fun Christmas used to be. They visit Jake’s charity, which is thriving. There’s a woman clearly into him. Ella is jealous. They stop by his old friends’ annual “Dive Bar Christmas” — the tradition Ella used to love. She misses those days. Then they visit Bobbi’s house — Tim is sick with asthma, and the family resents Ella… until Tim says he’s thankful for Miss Neezer because the job helps afford his medicine. Ella is crushed. Back to the plane she goes. Bobbi’s asleep, so Ella goes to talk to Jake instead. Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come arrives. Ella sees her employees talking like someone is gone — but who? At her sister’s house, everyone is dressed in black. Jake shows up with flowers. Someone has died. Eventually, Ella realizes Jake gave up on love. Then she sees Bobbi’s home. Tim’s chair is empty. And then — she sees her own grave. She’s devastated, begging for a chance to change. Suddenly — she’s back on the plane. The flight has landed in Utah due to engine trouble. Coincidentally, her sister lives in Utah. It’s Christmas morning (technically 1 AM). Ella snaps into action. She tells Bobbi she’s getting a promotion, double salary, the best health insurance imaginable, and a first-class flight home to be with Tim. Bobbi is stunned. Ella and Jake go to breakfast. Ella tells him she doesn’t want to go through life alone — especially not without him. She apologizes — sincerely. They slow dance. He dips her. They kiss BIG ONES . They surprise her sister. Ella apologizes for not being the sister she should have been. They spend Christmas together. Jake tells Ella he loves her. She tells him she’s always loved him — some might say it was always you. They kiss again. Bobbi FaceTimes. Tim says, “God bless us, everyone.” The end. 🎄✨ Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

This week is presented by "Dial It Back", available now on Prime Video . --- Ryan is back for another UPtv Christmas movie. This week, we're diving into a brand-new UPtv royal holiday romance: A Royal Christmas Manor . ABOUT A ROYAL CHRISTMAS MANOR Prince Alexander of Fredonia escapes to a cozy inn hoping to experience a traditional American Christmas. Katie, who runs the inn, falls for him, completely unaware of his true royal identity. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: A ROYAL CHRISTMAS MANOR November 9 2025 | UPtv CAST & CREW OF: A ROYAL CHRISTMAS MANOR Kirk Barker as Prince Alexander Brianna Cohen as Katie BRAN’S A ROYAL CHRISTMAS MANOR SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with Katie saying goodbye to her parents as they head off to spend Christmas with their grandchild. She’s a little bummed about spending the holiday alone, but it is what it is. Cut to Prince Alexander of Fredonia. The tabloids are pressuring him to settle down because he’s “getting old,” and he needs a break from all the royal expectations. Katie, meanwhile, is running her family’s inn while her parents are gone and is hoping to prove she’s ready to take it over for good. Alexander decides he wants to spend the Christmas season somewhere quiet — and what better place than a U.S. town also called Fredonia that actually gets snow? His parents reluctantly agree to let him go with his best friend, Jackson. They end up booking the last available room at Katie’s inn. When they arrive, Alexander is instantly smitten — not just with the charm of the inn, but with Katie herself, especially since she has no idea he’s a prince. She treats him like a totally normal guy. Cell reception is spotty, so Alex can’t call home, and his parents start worrying. Meanwhile, Katie takes him snowshoeing and sparks begin to fly. There’s also another guest, Mr. Norton, who seems like he’s supposed to be quirky but just comes across as kind of creepy. Alex is committed to making Katie fall for him , not the prince version of him, so he volunteers to assemble a bookshelf even though he has never built anything in his life. She also invites him to gather firewood with her the next day. Love is definitely brewing. Then a bad snowstorm hits, which keeps the inn’s cook, Gretchen, from making it in. Katie has to handle the kitchen, but… she’s not great. Luckily, Alexander secretly loves to cook. A guy named William shows up, and Alex briefly assumes William and Katie are a thing, but they are very much not, which is a relief. Katie and Alex go down to the basement to look for a box of decorations. He finds some mistletoe, and yes — that’s when the smooching happens. The storm makes it impossible for Alex to get to the airport on Christmas Eve. His parents, now very concerned, decide to come find him. Before Alex can confess who he really is, his parents show up and spill the royal beans. Shockingly, Katie handles it pretty well! Everyone ends up spending Christmas Eve together. Katie opens the gift her mom left for her — a key to the inn. It’s officially hers. She celebrates by kissing Alex some more. Finally, they go to visit his royal home. THE END!

Alonso IS BACK to review Mistletoe Murders: Death of a Humbug, which we originally covered back in January after its debut on Hallmark+. Now that it’s finally aired on the Hallmark Channel, we’re re-releasing our full review for everyone to enjoy! Season 2 kicks off next week! ABOUT MISTLETOE MURDERS: DEATH OF A HUMBUG A murder leads Emily and Sam to a scavenger hunt orchestrated by the victim. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR MISTLETOE MURDERS: DEATH OF A HUMBUG November 28 & December 5 2024 on Hallmark+, October 31 2025 on Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF MISTLETOE MURDERS: DEATH OF A HUMBUG Sarah Drew as Emily Lane Peter Mooney as Sam Wilner BRAN’S MISTLETOE MURDERS: DEATH OF A HUMBUG SYNOPSIS The Fletchers Grove real estate party is FINALLY HERE!!! A guy dressed as Santa comes in and kills the vibe. It's Glen. He owns the bookstore, and he’s very passive-aggressive about how no one in this town comes to his bookstore. Glen has a past. He’s banned from the diner, and everyone seems to hate him. He gives presents to everyone and tells Emily that he picked this one specially for her—it’s rare he finds a fellow mystery lover. The night continues, and Emily sees Glen in his Santa suit scurrying quickly outside. She goes to follow him, finds his hat on the floor, and then sees a car speed off. Just as that happens, she hears a scream. She runs inside and sees Sue, who was throwing the party. She’s crying as she looks at Glen, who has been stabbed in the heart. When Emily gets home, she opens the gift. It’s a special green edition of A Christmas Carol. We get a flashback of Emily visiting the bookstore and meeting Glen. She tells him about this edition of A Christmas Carol that her parents used to read to her. He remembered and tracked the book down. As she opens it, a letter falls out, inviting her to a very special event at the law offices tomorrow at 8 p.m. What is Glen up to?! So, she goes to tell Sam, and he says, “How would you feel about me being a plus-one so I can take a gander?” They show up, and the video plays—it’s Glen, predicting his own death and setting up a treasure hunt. Sam tries to get everyone to give him their books so he can search for clues. They’re like, “Nah. There’s treasure to find!” It doesn’t take Emily long to find the first clue using a UV light on her book. She thinks the other books have clues too and that they all need to work together on it. She gets two others on board—a hot dog stand owner named Harry and Brooke Carmichael. But Glen’s nephew, Fred, says he and his wife don’t want to participate (mainly Fred’s wife—she didn’t like Glen). To make matters worse, there’s one book still missing. She thinks maybe he gave it to the diner owner, Sue, but Sue says she threw the book out. Sam finds out that Glen had Huntington’s disease. After Fred finds this out, he decides that they want to participate. Even though they’re missing one book, they decide to put all the clues together and try to figure out what they’re pointing to. It has something to do with a precious memory. Fred says, “The only memory I can think of with Glen is him reading Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Emily says, “Go see if he has that book in the bookstore. Maybe there’s a clue.” As they’re walking towards the store, Emily sees the car that sped off and notices a letter that clearly came from Glen in the front seat. Just then, Fred realizes the bookstore is unlocked. Sam goes in first and finds a guy there. It’s Fred’s brother Noah. They haven’t seen each other in a long time. Apparently, when their mom got sick, Noah left. Sam takes Noah in for questioning and presents him with some pretty tough evidence—they found Glen’s Santa suit in the trunk and the USB drive with Glen’s video on it from the lawyer’s office, which was stolen. He gives reasons for all of it, but it’s not looking great. Fred tells Emily that he did finally go find the book and found a USB drive! They agree to all get together tomorrow to watch what’s on it. As Emily’s going home, an SUV speeds at her, and she has to tuck-and-roll out of the way. The next day, they all get together, and it’s another video with a very cryptic clue. We find out that someone is sitting in a car, listening in on their conversation. Later, the group gets back together, but Fred is nowhere to be found. Turns out he was attacked from behind. He says he doesn’t know who did it. Sam gets a call—they found Fred’s wife’s DNA on the Santa suit. She says she found out that the first editions were missing and went to talk to Glen. She found him dead and knew it wouldn’t look good that she found him, so she put the suit on and ran out. Emily finds Noah in the diner—he’s been released. She convinces him to join the group in solving the mystery. He comes to her store and sees there’s a hole in the wall—she has a leak. He says he thought maybe it was one of the secret compartments these old buildings have. That gives them the idea to look for one in the bookstore, and they find it! Inside is a suitcase—a go-bag, if you will. They discover a folder with a plane ticket to Switzerland for the day of the party and a brochure for a place in Switzerland for end-of-life care. He was planning to leave and die in Switzerland. Emily recalls that the tape says, “If you’re seeing this, that means I’m gone.” He didn’t know he was going to be murdered. He was just planning on disappearing. They find the final clue and watch the video. Suddenly, Harry, the hot dog guy, is gone, and so are all the books. Emily puts it together—he killed Glen and was just trying to solve the mystery. She goes to confront him in the cemetery where the final clue leads to. We find out that he showed up to steal the first edition A Christmas Carol and threatened to kill Glen to get it. Glen laughed in his face, knowing he was dying. That offended Harry, so he stabbed him. Emily then fights him, takes him down, and puts him in plastic cuffs to get the treasure! She figures out it was the lawyer who hired this guy, and he gets arrested. She gets the group back together and hands out what Glen left for everyone. It’s very sweet. The movie ends with Emily coming down to her store and seeing Sam fixing her wall. They end up making out HARD!!! She says, “Let’s go for a walk in the snow.” She has to go change, and that’s when he gets a phone call—he’s been investigating Emily and noticed some discrepancies in her story. He got a call from his higher-up to drop any and all research into her. So, clearly, she isn’t who she says she is. The episode ends with him asking her, “Who are you really?” Fade to black.

Brian is back, and this time he’s bringing along a very special guest — comedian and writer Jen Kirkman ! Together, they dive into one of Hallmark’s most ambitious Christmas movies yet, A Newport Christmas . For more Jen, head to jenkirkman.com ABOUT A NEWPORT CHRISTMAS Ella, a charitable and spirited socialite from Newport in 1905 who dreams of using her wealth to start a foundation to help others in town, goes for a nighttime sail in her schooner to clear her head when she learns her father intends for her to become engaged to a man she’s never met at the upcoming Christmas Eve ball. Upon seeing a comet shoot across the sky, she suddenly finds herself transported to 2025 Newport and meets Nick, a local historian. As Ella adjusts to her new surroundings and the two grow close, the legacy she built in her time and the course of Newport's history risk being erased the longer she stays in the present. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A NEWPORT CHRISTMAS November 2, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF A NEWPORT CHRISTMAS Ginna Claire Mason as Ella Stewart Grafton Wes Brown as Nick McManny BRAN’S A NEWPORT CHRISTMAS SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off in 1905 in Rhode Island . Ella is a fun-loving socialite who cares deeply for people who are down on their luck. She dreams of starting a charity, but her father isn’t having it. He insists she focus on getting engaged instead. Upset, she rushes off in her boat. Cut to present day in Newport . Nick is leading a historical tour when he hears that the Coast Guard needs help with a rescue. Being an ex–Coast Guard officer, he takes a boat out to assist. Suddenly, Ella appears in his boat — she’s been transported from 1905 to 2025! They’re both shocked, but Nick sails them back to shore. Ella threatens to turn him in to the authorities, but she’s clearly confused — this is not the Newport she knows. When she introduces herself, Nick is thrown off. He asks what year she thinks it is. When she answers “1905,” he’s like, “Uh oh.” He assumes she’s just an overly committed cosplayer. Then she spots an inflatable snowman and faints. When she comes to, she heads back outside and is horrified to see that women wear pants. She walks to what she believes is her home — but there are strangers living there. “ WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?! ” she yells. The family explains the history of her estate and how she’s actually a famous historical figure. Ella is stunned. She decides she has to get back home — and what better way than by boat? But when Nick inspects the boat, he’s shocked: none of his modern equipment is there, the carvings are different, and the name on the boat has changed. It’s clearly her boat. To prove who she is, Ella shows them a secret hiding spot containing her belongings — including a diary no one knew existed. They finally believe her and agree to let her stay at a local bed and breakfast. One guy, Francis, theorizes, “What if the present and the past are happening simultaneously? I believe her. 1905 Ella hasn’t started The Giving House yet, so clearly she must make it back.” Nick tells Ella that he thinks she’s time-traveled. Ella mentions that before meeting him, she saw a comet — maybe that’s connected. Nick takes her to see the town’s Christmas tree lighting , and she’s absolutely blown away. But when she spots a monument dedicated to The Giving House , she’s shaken. As she reads it, Nick gets word that Ella is beginning to disappear from old portraits — and right before their eyes, the text on the monument starts to fade. They realize they need to get her back to 1905 before she vanishes completely. Nick researches the comet and learns there’s a “ Christmas Comet ” that appears every 20 years. Ella confesses that when she saw the comet in 1905, she wished for a different life. The good news? The comet is coming again — in just five days . The bad news? That gives Ella and Nick more time to fall for each other, which they definitely do. As they stroll through town, Ella notices a man who looks vaguely familiar. She later learns he’s the man her father bought the boat from. Nick’s like, “Wait — that’s the same guy I bought the boat from.” They track him down, and he introduces himself as Rex . Ella is stunned — that’s the man she’s supposed to marry. Rex admits that her father sent him out to rescue her after she ran away… but something went wrong, and he was transported to 2005 instead. Rex explains that when he arrived, he found a letter leaving the boat to him, with instructions to eventually sell it to Nick. He doesn’t know who wrote the letter, but he figured out the Christmas Comet is the key to returning home. The twist? He’s not sure he wants to go back. Ella’s torn. She knows she’s destined to marry Rex, but her heart belongs to Nick. Rex confides that he’s built a life in the present — and even fallen for another woman. Ella admits she kind of wants to stay, too. Nick tells her she has to return — it’s her story, her legacy. She pleads, “Why can’t we be together?!” They share a kiss, but Nick pulls away. “We can’t do this,” he says. It’s the night of the big Christmas ball . Ella and Nick dance and confess their feelings. Then, right as Rex walks in with his fiancée, the Christmas tree begins to disappear — reality is collapsing. They rush to the boat. Nick gives Ella an ornament to remember him by, and they share one last hug and a soft forehead kiss before she sets sail. As she spots the comet streaking across the sky, Ella cries, “ Why did you let me fall in love — but please, take me home! ” It works. She’s back in 1905. She bursts into the Christmas ball and tells her father she refuses to marry the man he chose. He insists, “But he’s come all this way!” When Rex is introduced… it’s Nick . Back in 2025, her portrait has returned. Nick explains in voiceover that as Ella was sailing off, he realized if Rex wasn’t going to go back, he could . Knowing Rex had no family, he took his place — no questions asked. They kiss, and above them, the Christmas Comet twinkles once more.

This episode is sponsored by Cozy Earth! Use promo code HALLMARK to get 40% off at cozyearth.com --- Brian is back this week to dive into the latest holiday release: Christmas on Duty . ABOUT CHRISTMAS ON DUTY Former rivals Blair and Josh must work Christmas duty together. When a snowstorm threatens holiday deliveries to the base, they’re forced to cooperate and save the season. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS ON DUTY November 1, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS ON DUTY Janel Parrish as Blair Birch Parker Young as Josh BRAN’S CHRISTMAS ON DUTY SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with some fun animation — which, by the way, is apparently why we only get 24 movies this year. We meet Blaire Birch , who’s ready to compete against Josh Cannon . During the competition, there’s plenty of playful banter, but at the end, Blaire drops a bomb: she’s taking Josh’s spot in the infantry. He’s very offended. Turns out, their dads were rivals too. Six years later, it’s almost Christmas break. Blaire’s only taking two days off — she’s all about that work life. After a training session, she spends time with her dad, a Sergeant, who’s hoping for a more traditional Christmas this year since Blaire’s mom has passed. They go to the Marine Christmas festival party, and Blaire is shocked to see Josh Cannon there! He’s now a company commander. The two immediately start arguing and, naturally, decide to compete again — right then and there. In their rush outside, they knock over the party cake. Their commanding officer is not amused and assigns them to Christmas duty — meaning they’ll be spending 24 hours straight together. Meanwhile, a huge snowstorm is threatening to delay the children’s Christmas gifts, though they’re still expected to arrive by Christmas Eve. When Blaire and Josh show up for their Christmas duty, Josh has brought his own decorations — including an inflatable Santa. But when they find out the toy delivery has been canceled due to the storm, they agree to team up to save Christmas ! Their plan: figure out what all the kids want, take a five-ton truck that can handle the roads, and track down the gifts themselves. As they travel, they start to open up. Blaire shares about the loss of her mom, and the walls start to come down. At their first stop, they discover the employee forgot to pull all the gifts. At the next, the owner’s accidentally locked out — so Josh climbs through an air duct to grab a skateboard. (Mission: accomplished.) More driving, more heart-to-hearts. But then they’re delayed by a Christmas Eve parade. Obviously, they take the chance to hop out, enjoy the show, and share a slow dance. Later, they stop for gas and run into Ezra from Finding Mr. Christmas . He offers to help them find gas if they help him with some Christmas party thing. It’s… weird, but yay for Ezra, I guess. On the way back, their truck breaks down, leading to an argument just when things were finally going well. Ugh! Luckily, Josh’s sister is a truck expert and walks him through the fix. They get back on the road and return — but late. Mission failed. The boss blames Josh and threatens to discharge them, but Blaire takes the blame instead. Josh feels terrible and goes to the boss to come clean, saying it was both their fault. The boss agrees to let it go — if they deliver the rest of the gifts dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus. When Josh shows up to get Blaire (with his dad in tow), their dads start arguing — but nothing a snowball fight can’t fix. They deliver the rest of the gifts, share a kiss (or three), and celebrate Christmas together with their families.

Ryan joins us to kick off the first UPtv Christmas movie of the season , The Great Christmas Snow-In . ABOUT THE GREAT CHRISTMAS SNOW-IN Justin retreats to a cabin meant for his honeymoon, but is snowed in with Jane, his ex-fiancée’s cousin. A spark forms between them, and when Justin’s ex shows up with her new boyfriend, secrets and discoveries about love and second chances are revealed. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE GREAT CHRISTMAS SNOW-IN November 2 2025 | UPtv CAST & CREW OF THE GREAT CHRISTMAS SNOW-IN Joey Lawrence as Justin Amanda Fuller as Jane Ricardo Chavez as Alejandro Melina Alves as Addy BRAN’S THE GREAT CHRISTMAS SNOW-IN SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with a woman walking up to a cabin, trying to get in. It turns out there's already a man there. Her name is Jane, and his name is Justin. Jane is actually the cousin of Justin's ex-girlfriend. Here’s what happened: Justin and his fiancée had planned to come to the cabin for their honeymoon, but they broke up. Justin still decides to go, and Jane, assuming the cabin was empty, came to work on a writing retreat. She’s a romance novelist, hoping for some quiet time to write. It turns out Justin is there for a similar reason—he’s a songwriter. Justin tells Jane she can stay and work on her writing while he does his own thing. He becomes interested in her work, and while reading her book, he imagines himself in her story, picturing romantic scenarios with her. He compliments her writing and suggests they collaborate on a song. Jane writes some lyrics, they sing together, and realize they make a great creative team. Justin opens up about his breakup with his fiancée, Addy. Jane reassures him that he dodged a bullet. Just as they begin exploring their feelings for each other, Addy shows up with her new boyfriend—turns out they also booked the cabin. Justin suggests they stay the night and leave in the morning, but they wake up snowed in. Addy encourages Justin to hash things out with her, and he does, leading to a near-kiss with Jane—though she accidentally falls off the balcony. Meanwhile, Addy begins to notice the chemistry between Justin and Jane and grows jealous, especially since she wants to collaborate with him on music again. When she hears him playing the keyboard, she flirts with him physically. Justin resists, saying he doesn’t want to repeat past mistakes. Jane overhears part of this conversation, misunderstanding that he still has feelings for Addy. This doesn’t stop Addy from telling Jane that she is falling for Justin again and mentioning the beautiful song they just wrote together. Justin clears things up with Jane, who admits she’s nervous because Addy has stolen her boyfriend before. Addy ultimately decides she wants to pursue Justin again, which leads to a chaotic dance battle between Alejandro (her current boyfriend) and Justin, resulting in Justin getting knocked out. When he wakes, he sees Jane and tells her he loves her. Addy makes one final attempt to get back with Justin but ultimately realizes he only has eyes for Jane. She decides to give things another try with Alejandro. Stranded at the cabin for Christmas, everyone shares a holiday dinner and reflects on what they’re thankful for. The movie ends with Addy and Alejandro leaving, Jane and Justin sharing a kiss, him calling it a “magnanimous moment,” and her responding, “You said you loved me,” before fading to black.

It's mystery time again! Alonso joins us to review Mistletoe Murders: Peril of the Belles, which we originally covered back in January after its debut on Hallmark+. Now that it’s finally aired on the Hallmark Channel, we’re re-releasing our full review for everyone to enjoy! Season 2 kicks off soon! ABOUT MISTLETOE MURDERS: PERIL OF THE BELLES After a string of suspicious accidents, Emily goes undercover in the local choir to investigate; Sam, however, remains skeptical; Violet takes on more responsibility at the shop. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR MISTLETOE MURDERS: PERIL OF THE BELLES November 14 & 21 2024 on Hallmark+, October 24 2025 on Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF MISTLETOE MURDERS: PERIL OF THE BELLES Sarah Drew as Emily Lane Peter Mooney as Sam Wilner BRAN’S MISTLETOE MURDERS: PERIL OF THE BELLES SYNOPSIS The episode kicks off back in the shop, and Christmas is in full swing. Emily hears some Christmas carolers. She goes out and is kind of enjoying herself... kind of. The lead singer, Debby, is making some choices. Then, suddenly, a giant sleigh falls on her! She's not dead, and apparently, she's not even injured. Cut to Emily waking up once again from a crazy dream of her past life. She grabs some coffee and opens a briefcase. She looks at a picture of what we assume is her family from a past life. She grabs a USB drive that will shield her identity while she does some searching. She's trying to track down someone known as "Ky-Mer-a." Back at the store, Emily is greeted by Brooke Carmichael, who is part of the choir—the Belles. She wants to put up a flyer for their concert and tells Emily that some of the Belles think something is afoot because this isn’t the first "accident" that has happened to them, including the death of a member, Clara, who was killed in a hit-and-run. So, Emily goes to check out the sleigh, which Sam is also looking at. He suspects something nefarious happened with the sleigh because of the way it's built. She decides the best course of action is to audition to join the Belles so she can keep an eye on them. She'll rely on Violet, Sam’s daughter, to lock up the store at night. I'm sure nothing will go wrong. After practice, she talks to a guy named Lance, who is bummed about Clara because she was the key to their success. He insists that other members were jealous of her. She sees Clara's husband leaving the diner, so she goes to talk to him. He says he knows for a fact that Clara was murdered by the Belles. At the next practice, Debby begins gasping for air, and her epipen isn’t in her purse, which she just complained had been moved. She ends up surviving AGAIN! Sam pulls Emily aside and asks for her help. He wants her to keep an eye on Debby. Emily says, "But Debby has almost died twice." Sam replies, "Well... she was also a suspect in the hit-and-run. It's possible she’s faking these murder attempts to try to prove it wasn’t her who killed Clara." The next day, Debby comes to the shop to thank Emily for saving her life. Emily gets right to work, asking questions. Debby claims she doesn't even have a car anymore; she had it hauled away months ago. Emily suggests, "You should've called Adam to do it." She says, "Adam doesn’t like me very much—he showed up at my house late one night demanding I tell him who in the Belles Clara was having an affair with." She adds, "If Clara was having an affair with a Belle, I would've known about it." So Emily calls Sam. Adam thinking Clara was having an affair is a motive for murder. They go to his house, but he’s not there. On the way back into town, they find his truck has gone off the road. Adam is nowhere to be found. They call in a search and rescue team. If he's in the woods, he won’t survive the night in this cold. Emily heads back to her shop when she sees a masked man leaving the store. She tries to chase him, but he loses her. She has to call the police. Sam comes to check on her and asks, "Was it locked?" She says, "Oh, yeah, for sure." At the next Belles rehearsal, the leader, Vera, says Debby won't be making it to the Christmas tree lighting, so she’ll be taking her place. It's clear Brooke is upset about that. Debby eventually shows up at practice and tries to sing the solo but can’t. Vera and she get into a fight about Debby pulling back funding. Vera tells her that her money can’t buy her the solo, and Debby leaves. Emily figures out that the key was stolen by a punk kid, so she goes and scares him into admitting it. It’s great. Later, she goes to poke around at Adam’s place. She sees a covered car. She smells bleach and ends up opening the trunk, cutting her hand in the process. It’s Adam. He’s dead. Later, while she’s talking to Sam, she remembers something that happened earlier—Vera had a band-aid and said it was just a paper cut. But the cut is exactly the same as Emily's. Sam goes and picks Vera up. They test the blood on the trunk door, and it’s a match. He begins to question her, and it comes out that Clara was going to leave the Belles for another group. Vera hit her with Debby’s car. Adam told Vera that he knew Debby killed Clara and that he found the car. So, she freaked out and drugged him to buy time to wipe down the car. She didn’t mean to kill him, so she panicked and threw him in the trunk. Crime solved. She remembers, however, that Adam was in charge of the electricity at the Christmas tree lighting and thinks he was planning on killing Debby. But Debby isn’t singing... Brooke is. Emily arrives just in time to push Brooke away from the mic as it catches on fire. She saves the day! Sam is impressed, and they have a heart-to-heart. She begins to open up about her past... or at least what she’s able to share. She gets back to her place, and suddenly, her computer screen shows a message: "I know you are there. I'm going to find you." Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show? Email bran@deckthehallmark.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It’s a brand-new episode — Brian is here to review the only new Hallmark Christmas movie of the week : Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! ABOUT MERRY CHRISTMAS, TED COOPER! A weatherman reunites with his high school crush while on vacation in his hometown. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR MERRY CHRISTMAS, TED COOPER! October 25, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF MERRY CHRISTMAS, TED COOPER! Robert Buckley as Ted Cooper Kimberley Sustad as Dr. Hope Miller Meghan Heffern as Kate Cooper Barbara Pollard as Ruth Mittens BRAN’S MERRY CHRISTMAS, TED COOPER! SYNOPSIS We’re watching WKJU Channel 7 News and, most importantly, it’s the weather with Ted! He clearly has some tension with news anchor Ken, who brings up Ted’s string of bad luck at Christmastime. Ted insists there’s nothing to it — he’s not gonna let it bring him down. Ted LOVES Christmas! He gets a job offer from a bigger network in the state, but he’s not sure if he’s going to take it. He likes it at WKJU, even though everyone there is placing bets on what bad thing is going to happen to him this year. Ted says, “NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN!” The next day, he heads home for the holidays…but his car won’t start. Again, could happen to anyone! So he hops on the bus, where he’s greeted by his sister Kate. When they get to Kate’s house, he discovers there’s been a bag switch-em-up . Naturally, the next day he’s rocking a tiny sweater — it’s all he’s got. That doesn’t stop him from climbing the ladder to put up Christmas lights on the house… until he promptly falls off and takes a box of lights to the head. Off to the ER he goes, where he’s checked out by Dr. Hope Miller — and they clearly have a past. Everyone reminds him that he had quite the crush on her back in high school. He also bumps into Miss Mittons, his old teacher. After getting cleared, he goes with Miss Mittons to help her pick out a Christmas tree. Needless to say, he ends up back in the ER and has to rock an eye patch during his first TV spot promoting the Gingerbread Invitational. He joins Miss Mittons’ walking group to go clothes shopping and grab some hot chocolate. Of course, Hope shows up, and the two of them end up leaving together to grab a bite to eat. The night is fantastic — until he gets arrested for breaking into his own car. Then, the next day, he eats a peanut butter cookie and has an allergic reaction. Classic Ted Cooper. Kate is throwing a costume party. She’s working overtime, so she calls Dr. Hope and invites her to come early. They look at their yearbook and admit they were both really into each other back then. Ted’s like, “I wish we had this conversation in high school!” The party’s a blast, and he wants to ask her out but chickens out. He ends up going to her house later that night and finally asks her out — and she’s down to clown. They do a Christmas-themed escape room, and it’s going great until they need help… but the helper has fallen asleep and doesn’t hear them, so they end up trapped there overnight. They talk all night, and right when they’re about to kiss — boom, the guy wakes up and interrupts them. But the vibes? Off the charts. The next day, Ted uses a rideshare to get to his news shoot, and a limo picks him up. He accidentally leaves his phone behind. Later, when Hope tries to call him, a woman answers — she’s partying hard — and Hope thinks Ted is with her! Ted realizes his phone is missing and goes to leave a note on Hope’s door, but the note blows away. Classic misunderstanding. Miss Mittons gives Ted his own track jacket and tells him not to worry — these things happen. Hope gets a call from the rideshare driver, who fills her in on what really happened. She and Ted meet back up, but even though it was all a misunderstanding, it leads to an argument. Hope tells him she wishes he’d fight for himself more — she wants to really know Ted. He takes that to heart. Ted tells her she’s right — he’s going to do better, he’s taking the job he was afraid to take — and then they kiss… ON LIVE TV! The movie ends with a giant gingerbread decoration almost falling on him — but missing him. Bad luck: OVER!

It’s time for a festive mystery twist! Alonso joins us to review the first installment of Mistletoe Murders: Poison in a Pear Tree , which we originally covered back in January after its debut on Hallmark+. Now that it’s finally aired on the Hallmark Channel, we’re re-releasing our full review for everyone to enjoy! Season 2 kicks off soon! ABOUT MISTLETOE MURDERS: POISON IN A PEAR TREE Christmas shop owner Emily Lane investigates a murder at a tree farm. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR MISTLETOE MURDERS: POISON IN A PEAR TREE October 31 2024 on Hallmark+, October 17 2025 on Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF MISTLETOE MURDERS: POISON IN A PEAR TREE Sarah Drew as Emily Lane Peter Mooney as Sam Wilner BRAN’S MISTLETOE MURDERS: POISON IN A PEAR TREE SYNOPSIS The episode kicks off with Emily Lane waking up from a nightmare. She runs a Christmas shop, Under the Mistletoe, in the small town of Fletcher’s Grove. She brings her cat to see her friend, local vet June, and learns that her ex-husband, Marcus, proposed to June again. Part deux, if you will. June and Marcus go on a romantic carriage ride, but Marcus is acting strange and says he’s just working on a surprise. Later, we see him meeting a man named Gordon and telling him he’s done what he can for him and to just be patient. Gordon does not seem pleased. The next day, the police show up at Under the Mistletoe. A detective informs Emily that a man named Marcus is dead and that a cookie wrapper from her store was found at the crime scene. He insists on taking all the cookies from the shop. June shows up and fills Emily in—Marcus was found dead. She suspects his ex-girlfriend, Lizzie Cline, who he was seeing until shortly before getting back together with June, might have been on the wagon ride that night. Emily immediately gets to work, tracking down Lizzie at her job and asking hard-hitting questions—like, “Wagons?!” Speaking of wagons, Emily visits the owner of the wagon rides, Gordon. Something seems to be bothering him, and Emily suspects it’s a hangover. Later, Emily heads into the woods and finds scuff marks on a tree, almost as if someone recently climbed it. Sneaky as ever, Emily snaps a picture of the list of everyone who was on the wagon that night. There’s one person she can’t track down—a man named Joey. While Emily and June are at the diner, June gets arrested. Emily confronts Detective Sam, who refuses to confirm or deny whether they found the poison that killed Marcus in June’s house, but his terrible poker face says it all. Emily discovers that Marcus denied Gordon a bank loan, leaving Gordon’s business in serious trouble. When Emily breaks into Marcus’s home, she finds a USB drive and a bookmark tucked into a pregnancy photo album. The USB contains a document for the sale of Gordon’s farm—but it’s unsigned. When she confronts Gordon, she spots some suspicious men leaving his house. Gordon reveals that Marcus asked for more time. Before Emily can leave, Gordon collapses. While waiting for the police, Emily has a flashback to a high-stakes moment from her past, where a building explodes behind her. It’s clear she moved to Fletcher’s Grove to lay low. Detective Sam arrives, suspicious when he finds out Emily called in Gordon’s collapse. She insists she’s just trying to help her friend. Sam reluctantly asks her to keep him in the loop because, well, it’s Hallmark—amateur sleuths and cops have to work together. It’s practically a law. Emily teams up with a local informant named Ray, who knows all the town gossip. He reveals that Gordon recently had his gambling debt paid off, though it’s unclear by whom. Emily also grows suspicious of Marcus’s co-worker, Rowan. When she confronts him, he has an explanation for everything. Under pressure, she convinces him to share Marcus’s bank statements, which reveal a $40,000 withdrawal just before his death. Emily forms a theory: Marcus paid off Gordon’s debt as a down payment for the farm, but Gordon had second thoughts because his daughter believed the farm was hers. Emily pitches her theory to Gordon’s daughter, Anna, but it doesn’t go over well. One night, Emily confronts Lizzie, who admits she didn’t mean for Marcus to get hurt. Lizzie reveals that she’s pregnant with Marcus’s baby. She wanted to tell her boyfriend, Trent, but couldn’t. When she told Marcus, someone must have overheard. Lizzie then received a text demanding $40,000. Marcus got the money and met her in the woods, where they shared a cookie. Emily realizes the cookie couldn’t have been poisoned and goes to the police to secure June’s release. Emily deduces that Gordon wasn’t the blackmailer—he doesn’t even know how to text—but Anna does. Anna confesses to the blackmail but denies being involved in the murder. Emily discovers that Rowan was secretly sleeping in Gordon’s barn. In his bag, she finds the poison that killed Marcus. Rowan knocks Emily out, and when she wakes up, both she and Anna are tied up. Rowan admits he wanted to kill Gordon to stop the sale of the farm. He poisoned Marcus’s flask, which Marcus drank from before confronting the blackmailer. Rowan plans to poison Emily and Anna and frame Anna for everything. Emily reveals that she hid her phone and has been recording Rowan’s confession. While he searches for the phone, Emily and Anna spook a horse to knock him out. They escape, call the police, and Rowan is arrested. Detective Sam tells Emily they’ll discuss everything soon but is relieved she’s safe. In the end, Gordon survives, Lizzie tells Trent about the baby, and Sam and his daughter sing Christmas karaoke. Everything seems fine—until the final scene, where Emily opens a black box from her old life and smirks, hinting at secrets yet to come.

It’s a brand new episode — Brian is back to help us review the second Hallmark Christmas movie of the season: A Christmas Angel Match . ABOUT A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCH Two Christmas Angels with opposite styles must unite soulmates before the holiday while dealing with department downsizing and their own unexpected connection. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCH Sunday, October 19, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCH Meghan Ory as Monica Benjamin Ayres as Michael Directed by Christie Will Wolf BRAN’S A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCH SYNOPSIS Do you know how some people are drawn together in what seems to be a magical way? MMMM… try angels. The Christmas Connection Angels spend the entire year finding folks who could use a little Christmas love. Monica is one of the oldest and best of the bunch—she’s been doing this since before the first Christmas tree. But lately, it’s getting harder than ever. Humans are distracted by their phones and their busy lives, and Monica’s starting to feel disheartened. While venting to one of her angel friends about how things are going, she bumps—literally—into fellow angel Michael, spilling coffee everywhere. Ugh. The worst. Michael’s an up-and-comer—an angel who already has his wings, even though he’s not yet a century old. Monica can’t stand him. For all her careful preparation, he’s the opposite: impulsive and a bit of a rule-bender. At the annual Christmas Connection meeting, led by Gabriel, Monica gets even more bad news—she’s not winning “Angel of the Year.” That honor is going to (you guessed it) Michael. To make things even more complicated, Monica and Michael are assigned the same two humans to match—Patrick and Daisy. This has never happened before, but Cloud Command says it must be so. When they pop down to Earth, their very different approaches immediately clash. Michael loves pushing the limits of what angels are allowed to do—something Monica finds both frustrating and, annoyingly, kind of intriguing. Despite their efforts, Patrick and Daisy just aren’t clicking. As Monica and Michael spend more time together, they open up to each other. Monica reveals that she matched Patrick’s great-grandparents—and every generation since. Patrick is a legacy match, and this one means everything to her. But when the match still doesn’t happen, Gabriel calls them in. Monica is put on leave, and Michael—trying to protect her—gives up his wings. When Monica returns to plead his case, she overhears what she thinks is Michael saying she doesn’t have what it takes anymore. Heartbroken, Monica heads down to Earth for some hot chocolate and, for the first time ever, a good cry. There, she runs into Michael. They talk, reconcile, and he tells her how truly amazing she is. Together, they decide to throw caution to the wind and make Patrick and Daisy’s love story happen once and for all—and they do. Afterward, Monica and Michael have a playful snowball fight, laughing and realizing they’re feeling something new—something “flutterous.” Gabriel appears, revealing that they were his mission all along. As golden dust of the Holy Spirit falls around them, Gabriel grants them a new promotion—a life of love . They slow dance beneath the glow as the gold dust swirls, and finally… they kissssss. 💫 Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

It’s the first new Hallmark Christmas movie of 2025! The whole gang is back together to review A Royal Montana Christmas , recorded live during the Deck the Hallmark Marathon . ABOUT A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMAS Overwhelmed by her royal duties during the Christmas season, Princess Victoria of Zelarnia decides to take a vacation to Peaceful Pines Ranch in Montana to decompress and reconnect with a place she remembers from childhood. While at the ranch, she meets Huntley Blaylock, a rugged ranch guide, and the two form an unexpected bond as she rediscovers small-town traditions and considers what she truly wants for her future. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMAS Premieres Saturday, October 18, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMAS Fiona Gubelmann as Princess Victoria of Zelarnia Warren Christie as Huntley Blaylock BRAN’S A ROYAL MONTANA CHRISTMAS SYNOPSIS We are in Zelarnia, and Princess Victoria is a VIBE! She’s very clearly British—you can tell by her accent. She likes horses, she’s not great with candles… but SHE IS CRUSHING IT! She’s reading a Hallmark card from her papa—her papa taught her everything she knows about horses. She comes downstairs in her cozy, earth-toned pajamas. Missing her dad, Victoria wants to visit a ranch she used to spend time at with him as a kid. Her mom says, clearly, “This means a lot to you. Off you go.” It doesn’t take long for her to get into trouble. She runs over a guy’s box of ornaments—so inconsiderate. When she arrives at the ranch, she asks about the holiday ball. They tell her they don’t do that anymore. Princess Victoria is sad—but that’s nothing some Christmas games with other guests can’t fix. That is, until Mr. Angry Pants from earlier shows up. He introduces himself as Huntly and mentions he’s staying there… or something like that. Turns out, his parents own the ranch! He’s home for the holidays, taking a break from coaching baseball. They start working around the ranch together, and it’s magical. The thing is, Coach Huntly isn’t super skilled with ranch chores, but that doesn’t stop him from helping Victoria practice her lasso skills. It’s… a lot. The next day, Victoria sticks around to help decorate. She finds out the local volunteer firefighters need to raise money. Victoria says, “How about a Christmas dance? I can plan it!” Huntly doesn’t like the idea and storms off. What’s his deal? He goes to talk to his dad, who tells him to stop being such a dope. Huntly comes back and tells Victoria she can plan the party—but it has to be on the 19th. She sighs, “Well, I guess I’ll have to extend my trip.” To celebrate, they go stargazing together. We learn he hates the dance because it was supposed to be his big sendoff to play ball. He got injured that year and never went again. It also turns out they actually met as kids, and he always wished she’d return. He leans in for a kiss, and she stops him. She says, “I have to tell you something…I’m a princess.” He’s not fazed. They try to kiss again, but they get interrupted twice. Two interruptions is enough—they call it a night. The next day, he asks if she’d be his date to the dance. She’s all in. But when he tells her he wants to be on the same team and is open to moving to her kingdom, she gets scared. The next day, he gives her a little wooden horse—and that’s all she needed. They go to the dance together and party hard. He tells her he’s moving back home full-time. She says, “I could never ask you to leave your family, and I’m not leaving mine.” He takes that in and kisses her insanely, pulling her into his beard for safe keeping—then she storms off. YOURE MAKING THIS TOO HARD! Victoria ends up leaving the next day without saying goodbye, leaving her wooden horse behind. It seems like it’s over. Cut to Christmas Day in Montana. Huntly is doing chores when what do his wandering eyes behold but a princess! She tells him she’s giving her sisters the crown and is moving to Montana. They kiss HARD! She introduces him to her family, and they all have Christmas breakfast together—as Victoria and Huntly kiss hard again!

We continue to dive into the spooky vibes this week with Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C , and Brian is here to join Bran and Dan for the breakdown. ABOUT HAUNTED HARMONY MYSTERIES: BURIED AT C Our favorite music teacher Gethsemane is back again along with her trusted ghost friend Eamon to solve the unexplained death of a sea captain. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR HAUNTED HARMONY MYSTERIES: BURIED AT C October 12, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF HAUNTED HARMONY MYSTERIES: BURIED AT C Tamera Mowry-Housley as Gethsemane Risteard Cooper as Eamon Marco Grazzini as Griff BRAN’S HAUNTED HARMONY MYSTERIES: BURIED AT C SYNOPSIS We’re on a boat! This old dude is like, “Uh oh, the boat’s having issues. I’ll call it in.” The younger dude’s like, “No, just fix it,” while flashing his gun. The young guy takes a call and says he’s got it handled — all while eyeing a fancy violin. The old guy overhears and tries to call for help, but ends up getting smacked in the head. Three months later, missing person posters are going up for the old captain — put up by his daughter. Cut to Gethsemane, who’s conducting a choir (and crushing it) while trying to ignore her ghost friend, Eamon. She reveals a new statue to honor a dead guy, but everyone thinks it sucks. After the show, hottie Griff goes up to tell her how great it was — and of course Inspector O’Reilly isn’t far behind. Classic love triangle stuff. She’s thrilled when her brother, Jackson, gets into town to visit. They sing a song and grieve the loss of their dad, who died a year ago. They head to a pub, where Jackson ends up chatting with the violin guy from the beginning. Jackson, who works at a music store, asks to take a look. The guy says he should be able to sell it and retire. Jackson asks if there are any good bands playing, and the guy says the hotel he’s staying at has a piano player — that’s about it. He ends up leaving his bag behind, so Jackson goes to return it. When he gets there, the lights go out, someone yells, and Jackson rushes upstairs to find the violin guy on the ground — and a hooded figure running off with the violin. Jackson tells the hotel employee to call the police, which naturally means Inspector O’Reilly. Gethsemane goes to check on her brother, and Eamon shows up saying he might be able to help. He takes her to talk to the ghost of the dead guy. He says the violin guy’s name was Ray — paid cash up front but seemed off the whole time. He asks Gethsemane to get a message to his daughter, and she agrees. Inspector O’Reilly checks the security footage, and the hooded figure appears to be a woman. That same hooded figure later runs out of the dead guy’s boat when Gethsemane goes to check it out. Naturally, Gethsemane is now on the case — with Eamon’s help, of course. There are sketchy art dealers, teachers, and bears, oh my! (Okay, no bears. I lied.) Gethsemane and Griff grow closer and even almost kiss! Her brother figures out she has powers — and he’s totally cool with it. Turns out Ray was originally going to sell the violin to a music store owner but backed out for a higher bidder. So she and the harbor master hatched a plan… and now Ray’s dead. But don’t worry — Gethsemane catches them! She wraps up the case, enjoys the rest of her time with her brother, and yay for love!

It’s time to Haul out the Halloween! Scott from Christmas Morning joins Bran , Dan , and Brian to break down the latest movie in Hallmark’s wildly popular Haul Out the Holly franchise. ABOUT HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEEN New, Halloween-obsessed neighbors inspire residents of Evergreen Lane to haul out their spookiest costumes and décor to become EverSCREAM Lane. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEEN October 11, 2024 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEEN Lacey Chabert as Emily Wes Brown as Jared Melissa Peterman as Pamela Ellen Travolta as Mary Louise Stephen Tobolowsky as Ned Kimberly J. Brown as Luna BRAN’S HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEEN SYNOPSIS Evergreen Lane is the most festive street in America, and nothing is more festive than a wedding! Emily and Jared are the ones tying the knot — and even better, the Johnsons are gone! The wedding is beautiful, and everything seems perfect. While Emily and Jared are on their honeymoon, a new couple moves in and decorates big for Halloween — like, really big. The rest of the crew wonders if they should contact Jared, the head of the HOA, but decide to wait until he’s back. When Jared finally sees the decorations, he’s so shocked he literally drops Emily. He heads over to tell the new neighbors that all their lawn decorations have to go. “This is Evergreen Lane, not Everscream Lane!” But Jared is stunned to learn from Emily’s parents that the “no other holiday decorations” rule was never actually added to the bylaws. We learn that Evergreen Lane used to go all out for Halloween, but after Emily’s Gram Gram passed away, her parents thought she wouldn’t want it anymore. Quite the opposite — Emily insists it’s time to bring the spooky fun back, because that’s exactly what Gram Gram would’ve wanted. The committee gathers to gossip about the “weird new neighbors,” right as they walk in — Luna and Marvin. Turns out Luna really is a witch… in a play! Emily and Jared soon announce that Everscream Lane is officially a go! Events are planned, and every house has one week to come up with a Halloween display. Everyone’s in — but Luna and Marvin propose one more idea: a spooky alley to raise money for the children’s hospital. It’s approved, as long as it’s not too spooky. Jared surprises Emily by saying he doesn’t want to do a couple’s costume this year — and that’s a little scary for her. What’s scary for Jared? Emily’s mom might be dating Ned! Things come to a head when Jared lashes out at Ned during the pumpkin decorating competition — even throwing Ned’s pumpkin to the ground… while local TV cameras are rolling. Jared’s put on leave from the HOA until he makes things right with Ned — which he does. All is well again, just in time for the Halloween cookie competition (complete with ugly Halloween sweaters). To Pamela’s shock, Emily’s cookies win! Emily decides to publish a children’s book inspired by Evergreen Lane. Then, big news — the local news channel is coming back to cover the Lane on Halloween night! Everything is perfect. After briefly appearing as “Chaddy Kruger” — a Chad Kroeger/Freddy Krueger mashup costume — Jared realizes he’s a married man now and rejoins Emily for a team costume. Everscream Lane is a huge success, and the whole gang celebrates as Jared gets the news: he’s been accepted into the Norwegian Santa School!

Suddenly, we're transported back to 1944 to learn how the league began. We meet a younger Dottie and her sister Kit, working hard on the dairy farm. A scout named Ernie arrives and tries to convince Dottie to join the league, but she agrees only if Kit can come too. Off to Chicago they go to try out for the league — and they make the Rockford Peaches. But who’s going to manage this squad? Former star player Jimmy Dugan. Jimmy Dugan sucks . He’s an alcoholic who only takes the gig to make some money so he can buy more booze. He doesn’t want to be there, which forces Dottie to step up as the team’s leader. As the league grows more and more popular, the stadiums start selling out. The teammates bond, and everything is going great — until the guy running the league makes Dottie the face of it, which upsets her sister and ultimately leads to Kit getting traded. The Peaches finish the season with the league’s best record, qualifying for the World Series. That evening, Dottie gets a surprise when her husband, Bob, shows up — wounded and discharged from the Army. Jimmy discovers that Dottie plans to go home with Bob. He tries to talk her out of it, telling her she’ll regret not staying. Before the final game of the World Series, Dottie rejoins the team, while Kit is the starting pitcher for the opposing team. Dottie and the Peaches end up winning, and the sisters reconcile afterward. Back in the present at Cooperstown, Dottie is reunited with the other players — including Kit.

With a nudge from Aurora and the school’s guidance counselor, Lilly-Anne Brigente (Hemmens), Isaiah decides to save the Christmas show and jumps in as director.

As they team up to bring these bundles of joy into the world as the night wears on, Alice, Brian and the rest of the staff also work hard to make the holiday feel festive for all the patients.

Olivia’s plan hits a bump in the road when she meets Dr. Ben Kane (Campbell), the veterinarian who owns the other half. The café serves an important role in the town – helping homeless cats find forever homes – and he has no intention of closing up shop. Christmas is the most important time of the year as they plan many activities to help raise funds and get them into the black. Olivia and Ben strike a deal – she agrees to help him plan the fundraising events at the café over the next three weeks in exchange for Ben promising not to drag his heels on selling at the end of that time. Unless, Ben notes, she ends up changing her mind – a lot can happen in three weeks, after all.

It's finally here! We actually recorded this episode live at Bramble Fest 2025, and we’re joined by Brian and Patrick to dissect the 2025 Lifetime thriller The Little Girl Who Lived . ABOUT THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVED When rising crime novelist Alice reveals her childhood abduction in a new book, the killer returns-kidnapping her sister and demanding she rewrite his legacy before cancer takes him for good. AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVED October 5, 2025 | Lifetime Channel CAST & CREW OF THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVED Brittany Bristow as Alice Kerrigan Marcus Rosner as Detective Ethan Directed by Dylan Pearce BRAN’S THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVED SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with a girl running out of a cabin and hiding. From what? From whom? While running through the woods, her necklace falls off. A bald dude who’s following her picks it up. The little girl makes it to a path and runs into a woman who’s jogging. She says, “Don’t let him find me.” Cut to author Alice Kerrigan at a reading for her new book. A megafan is asking questions, and Alice drops a bombshell — her next book is going to be a firsthand account of her time with a serial abductor, The Strigoi , who kidnapped her as a kid. This guy has never been caught, but Alice believes that by now he’s too old to pose a threat and finally feels ready to tell her story. But between the creepy megafan and her big announcement, Alice gets a bit jumpy. Her cop sister comes to pick her up (very late, FYI), and they finally get to spend some time together. Her sister isn’t thrilled that Alice doesn’t paint the cops in a positive light in her books — and she’s really not thrilled to find out Alice plans to publicly share her story. They get into an argument. It’s not great. That night, Alice wakes up to banging and booming outside her room. She grabs a lamp that’s lying nearby and goes to investigate. She gets downstairs and — surprise — the house has clearly been burglarized. Stuff is everywhere. But then she discovers the necklace she dropped in the woods as a kid, next to a note attached to a brick: “You don’t know my story well enough to tell it. Maybe she will.” Clearly, it’s The Strigoi. Speaking of Strigoi, I know we all know what that means, but let’s say it together: “Strigoi, in Romanian mythology, are troubled spirits said to have risen from the grave. They can transform into beasts, become invisible, and gain vitality from the blood of their victims.” Yes, thank you. Back to the movie: the police show up. Detective Marcus Rosner doesn’t believe her story, nor does he believe it’s The Strigoi. He points out that she announced her new book today, and that probably made her cop sister mad, drink too much, and leave. So it’s up to Alice to figure this out herself. She examines the brick and sees a number: 55868. As Alice is walking around trying to find out more about the brick, she bumps into the megafan, Claire . She immediately decides to open up to her (for reasons I don’t understand) and tells her what she’s working on — and the megafan is PUMPED. Claire pulls up a blog that lists three suspects for The Strigoi: Dr. Adrian Blake – doctor for three of the missing girls Charles Mercer – bad guy, convicted of other crimes The Trenchcoat – a mysterious figure often seen by the railroad tracks Alice is sure it isn’t Dr. Blake because he’s dead. She’s not super sure about the other two but agrees to investigate. They find Charles Mercer playing chess. He was convicted of some icky stuff back in the day, but he claims he didn’t do any of it. He suspects someone from the Italian restaurant where he used to work was up to something shady and says she should look there. So they go to investigate. Megafan Claire talks to the owner while Alice pokes around in the back. She finds a box that looks important, but the owner hears her snooping and chases her off. Don’t worry — she gets away with the box, no problem. They look at who was working with Charles at the time and zero in on a name: Stephen Gray. That leads them to his family home, which has some weird stuff out back — a bunch of dirt, her sister’s shirt, and skeletal remains of animals buried there. It’s almost like he wanted her to find it. They go to talk to the woman who used to live there — Stephen’s mom — now in a nursing home. She says some things about Stephen that make Alice think they might be onto something. Alice also starts to suspect Claire may be up to something after she randomly bails mid-conversation. When Alice gets home, Detective Marcus Rosner is there. They talk; she tells him about Stephen. They hug (all above board), and then a brick gets thrown from inside the house through the window — something I don’t think has ever happened in the history of film. They go in, and no one’s there. Alice starts digging into Claire online, through the same forums Claire had shown her. She has a revelation when she sees a photo of a missing girl named Charlie. The next day, Alice is supposed to meet Claire but doesn’t show. Claire storms off, furious. Alice follows her by car. It takes her to a cabin in the woods. Alice goes to open the door and has a vivid memory of running out that very door as a child. It’s the cabin. She sneaks inside, and more memories come flooding back. As she’s creeping around, Claire catches her. Alice calls her Charlie — which makes Claire freak out. She screams, “You don’t know how badly you leaving affected him!” Turns out, after Alice escaped, he kidnapped Claire/Charlie and kept her there. She’s been there ever since. She yells, “I’m his wife now! We had a ceremony and everything!” The plan was for Claire to get close to Alice, then lure her back to the killer. We also learn he’s very sick and clearly dying. Claire attacks Alice and almost strangles her but lets go before Alice passes out — then breaks down crying. Stephen Gray comes downstairs. Alice runs away, jumps in the car, and drives off before he can catch her — and before her sister can make it to her car. She gets pulled over and tells Detective Rosner everything about Stephen Gray. He promises to look into it. Alice hatches a plan. She goes to the pharmacy, knowing that Claire would likely show up to get new meds (because Alice took a vial with her). When Claire gets back to her car, Alice attacks — strangles her from behind, puts her in the back seat, and drives to Stephen Gray’s. Stephen calls Claire’s phone to find out where she is. Alice tells him, “I’ll give you your medicine if you give me my sister.” He agrees to meet her at the rooftop garden — the same place he first kidnapped her. She calls Marcus (okay, Detective Hottie ) and tells him what she’s doing — that he can’t stop her, but he can join her if he wants. They meet. Stephen explains that he wanted her to find all the information about him for her book — but also wants her to jump off the building with him so their stories will end together. Dark stuff. Detective Hottie shows up, Stephen coughs, and that gives Alice enough time to break free and push him off the building. They rescue her sister. Alice goes home and writes a letter to Charlie. One year later , her book is out — and Charlie shows up. They hug. Turns out, they co-wrote the book together. Yay for authors.

It’s a new episode! Brian joins us to dive into the newest Fall Hallmark movie, Home Turf . ABOUT HOME TURF Cassidy is the president of a small college whose life is thrown for a loop when freshmen on the football team move into her home. Can Logan, the handsome coach, help smooth things over? AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR HOME TURF October 4, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF HOME TURF Nikki DeLoach as Cassidy Warren Christie as Logan Directed by Maclain Nelson BRAN’S HOME TURF SYNOPSIS Cassidy is the new president of a small college. You know the old saying — she’s not in Boston anymore. She’s doing wild things like setting up Food Truck Friday. People love her! But then comes the bad news… the budget is in worse shape than she thought, and the board is suggesting cutting the arts. Over Cassidy’s dead body. The hits keep coming — a pipe bursts in one of the dorms. Everything is going wrong, and it only gets worse when she bumps into a guy and her PSL goes all over her delightful jacket. She’s even more frazzled when she realizes that he’s hot. She gets to the meeting and guess who’s there? Coffee guy. It’s Coach Logan, and he’s not pleased to hear how she “solved” the housing situation. His football squad lives in that dorm, and her plan is to have them stay at another college a couple towns over and shuttle them in. He says, “I have a better idea — the president’s house.” It’s massive, and it’s just Cassidy living there. She reluctantly agrees and immediately regrets it when their golf cart breaks a flower pot. The first morning is rough — they wake her up at 6 a.m. with practice out back, leave her no hot water, and use all the oat milk. It’s a mess. They agree to lay down some new guidelines for the players. But after another screw-up that messes up a meeting with a potential big donor, Logan talks to the players, and they surprise Cassidy with dinner and an apology. Cassidy begins to learn that being part of a team isn’t all bad — especially after promising her big donor that she’ll bring back the alumni formal. Then, after realizing the donor is a huge football fan, she comes up with a plan that’ll win him over and help the arts — build a new football stadium. Cassidy starts to enjoy having the boys around and, let’s be honest, is really starting to enjoy Logan. They end up slow dancing and kissinggggg. But things take a turn when Logan agrees to help her with the presentation to the big donor — and then shows up late. The donor backs out because the proposal lacked key details, and Logan was the one who had them. When he finally arrives, he explains he was at a ceremony for his dad, and on the way out, the head coach at Buckeye State offered him an assistant gig. The boys move back to their dorm now that the pipe’s fixed, and Cassidy’s house suddenly feels very empty. Before the next game, the players demand that Cassidy give their pump-up speech. Afterwards, Logan tells her he’s not going anywhere. After the game, the big donor shows up again. He says the coach called him, persuaded him to come, and he’s looked over the full proposal. He tells Cassidy and Logan they make a great team — and he’s in. The movie ends with Cassidy telling Logan that the team’s going to do family dinner at her place every Sunday — and she wants him there, but is also totally down to hang out one-on-one anytime. They kiss, and everyone cheers. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

It’s Mighty Monday , and Ryan is here to take us back to the diamond with one of our favorite films: The Sandlot . ABOUT THE SANDLOT In the summer of 1962, a new kid in town is taken under the wing of a young baseball prodigy and his rowdy team, resulting in many adventures. AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR THE SANDLOT April 7, 1993 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF THE SANDLOT Tom Guiry as Scott “Scotty” Smalls Mike Vitar as Benjamin “Benny the Jet” Rodriguez Patrick Renna as Hamilton “Ham” Porter Chauncey Leopardi as Michael “Squints” Palledorous Marty York as Alan “Yeah-Yeah” McClennan Brandon Quintin Adams as Kenny “The Heater” DeNunez Grant Gelt as Bertram Grover Weeks Shane Obedzinski as Tommy “Repeat” Timmons Victor DiMattia as Timmy Timmons James Earl Jones as Mr. Mertle (and “the Beast” guardian) Directed & written by David Mickey Evans BRAN’S THE SANDLOT SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with a narrator telling us about Babe Ruth calling his shot as an announcer gets ready to call a baseball game. Flash back to that guy as a kid. Scotty Smalls moves to the San Fernando Valley with his mom and stepdad, Bill. He doesn’t have any friends, so he asks Bill to teach him how to play baseball. Bill puts his prized possession on the mantel—a signed Babe Ruth baseball. The next day, Scotty runs to the nearby baseball field to see if he can make some friends. A fly ball comes right to him, and it doesn’t go well. As he fumbles for the ball, he’s terrified by this… Beast… on the other side of the fence. The kids give him a hard time for not knowing how to throw or catch. Scotty goes home, asks Bill to teach him again, and ends up with a black eye. The next day, despite the other kids not wanting him to play, the team’s best player, Benny, says they should give him a shot because they need a full team. Benny teaches him to throw and catch, and soon Scotty starts to fit in. One day, Ham smacks a home run into the Beast’s yard. When Smalls asks about the Beast, the boys hold a sleepover and share the legend of the terrifying dog who lives beyond the fence. The boys become best friends and do best friend stuff—like hanging out at the pool and celebrating the Fourth of July. But at the end of the day, it all comes back to baseball. One afternoon, Benny absolutely crushes their only ball. With Bill out of town, Smalls thinks he’s got the solution: he’ll grab the one from the mantel. What Smalls doesn’t realize is that the ball is signed by Babe Ruth. When he hits his first home run with it, he proudly tells the guys it was signed by “some girl named Ruth.” They freak out once they realize what he’s done. The boys quickly forge Babe Ruth’s signature on a new ball as a temporary replacement while they try to get the real one back. But the Beast doesn’t make it easy. After a dream where Babe Ruth himself tells Benny about being a legend, Benny decides to take matters into his own hands. He hops the fence. The dog—who turns out to just be a big, playful pup—chases Benny all around town. Eventually, Benny makes it back, but the Beast crashes through the fence and gets stuck. Scotty and Benny free him, and the dog gratefully licks Smalls’ face before leading them to his stash of baseballs. The boys meet Mr. Mertle, the Beast’s owner, and are shocked to learn that he knew Babe Ruth personally. Mr. Mertle gives Smalls a ball signed by the entire 1927 Yankees in exchange for weekly baseball chats. The gang eventually grows up and goes their separate ways. Smalls? He’s revealed to be the sports commentator from the beginning, still best friends with Benny, who goes on to play for the Dodgers.

Upon arrival, she meets her dashing guide Huntley Blaylock (Christie) who presents her and the other guests at the ranch with a rustic experience that is far from the royal treatment. This Christmas, Huntley must decide if he wants to step into a leadership role and carry on the family ranch’s legacy as his parents, the owners, approach retirement. Unaware of her status as a princess, Huntley puts Victoria through the rigors of a Montana ranch experience. Victoria also plans to help Huntley revive the ranch’s Christmas Holly-Day Dance. Victoria finds herself charmed by both Huntley and this different pace of life. As the two start to fall for each other, things get complicated when Huntley discovers Victoria is a princess.

Sunday, October 19: A Christmas Angel Match Stars: Meghan Ory (Chesapeake Shores), Benjamin Ayres (Saving Hope) Monica (Ory) and Michael (Ayres) are Christmas Angels tasked with bringing destined soulmates together during the most magical season of all. Typically, Angels work alone, but when the Christmas Connection Department faces the threat of downsizing, Monica and Michael are unexpectedly paired to ensure Daisy and Patrick fall in love before Christmas. The partnership isn’t without its challenges: Monica is a by-the-book traditionalist who follows every heavenly rule, while Michael embraces spontaneity and delights in earthly joys like hot chocolate, snowball fights, and holiday dancing. Their clashing styles – and the undeniable spark growing between them – complicate their mission. As Christmas Eve draws near, Monica and Michael worry that their differences will keep them from completing their mission in time. But just when it seems all hope is lost, a surprising turn of events changes everything – leading to a Christmas connection no one saw coming. Saturday, October 25: Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! Stars: Robert Buckley (Chesapeake Shores), Kimberley Sustad (The Santa Class) Weatherman Ted Cooper (Buckley) loves Christmas, but the past three have been terrible. This year, Ted has made up his mind that things will be different – this will be the Christmas things turn around for him. But Ted’s relentless optimism is about to be put to the test as he is faced with a litany of injuries and obstacles when he travels back to his hometown of Lackawanna, NY for the holidays. Within hours of arriving at his sister Kate’s house, he finds himself making a trip to Urgent Care after falling off a ladder while hanging decorations. While there, he runs into Ruth Mittens, his former high school science teacher who was always his cheerleader. He also reconnects with the charming Hope Miller (Sustad), except now she’s Dr. Hope Miller, with whom he went to high school and quietly crushed on from afar. Ted is optimistic that this budding romance is the beginning of his Christmas comeback, but his looming holiday bad luck still has a few curveballs in store for him. Luckily for Ted, he won’t have to face them alone – he’ll have the support of Kate, Ruth, and Hope to help him overcome the challenges thrown his way and finally enjoy a well-earned merry Christmas. Saturday, November 1: Christmas On Duty Stars: Janel Parrish (Pretty Little Liars), Parker Young (Enlisted) Blair (Parrish) and Josh (Young) have been bitter rivals ever since they trained together at The Basic School in Quantico, where they were both at the top of the class, competing to be number one.

Sunday, November 2: A Newport Christmas Stars: Ginna Claire Mason (A Holiday Spectacular), Wes Brown (Haul out the Holly: Lit Up) Ella (Mason) is a charitable and spirited Newport socialite in 1905 who dreams of using her wealth to start a foundation to help others in town.

Upon seeing a comet shoot across the sky, she wistfully wishes for a different life. Ella is shocked to suddenly find Nick (Brown), a sailor and local Newport historian, aboard her schooner and accuses him of being a stowaway. But Nick insists he owns the boat and a standoff ensues. Once on dry land, Ella realizes that somehow, she’s traveled from 1905 to 2025. As she spends time there and gets a glimpse at what her future in 1905 appears to be, she becomes reluctant to return, especially since she and Nick have grown close and she now knows how true love feels. But the legacy Ella built in her time – and the course of Newport’s history – risks being erased the longer she stays in the present, so the two plot a course for her trip back through time. But what awaits her at home is even more surprising that what she found in the future.

The one problem? The very different siblings, who are each going through their own personal life challenges, have naturally gone in separate directions over the years and the idea of spending 10 days cooped up on a river cruise together makes each Keller child cringe for their own reasons. But they say “yes” because that’s what families do, never expecting it to turn out to be a glorious once-in-a-lifetime experience full of missed connections, new friendships, stunning vistas, relationship upheaval, budding romances, shipboard games, family bonding, and a secret that brings them all together in time for Christmas. Saturday, November 15: Three Wisest Men Stars: Paul Campbell (The Cases of Mystery Lane), Tyler Hynes (The Groomsmen trilogy), Andrew Walker (Curious Caterer Mysteries), Margaret Colin (Veep) The Brenner family is back, and their lives are more chaotic than ever!

With unexpected in-laws visiting, wild animals lurking in freshly cut Christmas trees and a hesitant mall Santa, the boys will have their work cut out for them as the holiday begins to loom. As they navigate adulting at a level they have yet to reach, they must learn to once again lean on one another to rise to the needs of their growing family, conquer the newest challenges in their lives and, most crucially, have the best Christmas EVER! Sunday, November 16: Tidings For the Season Stars: Tamera Mowry-Housley (Scouting for Christmas), B.J. Britt (The Groomsmen), Elijah- Justus Lewis (Adults) Adam Kade (Britt) is the serious face on the local news. His life takes an unexpected turn in early December when he meets Robbie (Lewis), a 10-year-old who is Adam’s biggest fan. Robbie has an important request: He wants his favorite newscaster to talk about more than just what's going wrong in the world. How about reporting on the good stories too? Adam is ambitious and wants to move up in the world, but he takes this question to heart as the holidays approach. He discovers Robbie’s mom, Lucy (Mowry-Housley), is a single parent working hard to take care of her son. The last thing she needs is anything complicating a very busy schedule, including Adam. As new friendships form and Adam gains a healthy perspective, his reporting changes. He starts covering feel-good stories about hometown heroes during the holidays. A romance develops between Adam and Lucy, and Lucy lets go of always being so self-reliant as she and Adam draw close. But when Adam’s reporting leads to bigger opportunities, he must decide what matters most this holiday season – the bigger job he has been longing for or his newfound community, including the love of a boy who thinks of Adam as his hero.

With their longtime friendship rooted in being proud members of Bills Mafia, the two clans have enjoyed cherished traditions that revolve around cheering for their favorite team – especially at the holidays when they celebrate the last home game before Christmas. Pediatric doctor Morgan Quinn (Roden) and the Bills’ VP of Stadium Development Gabe DeLuca (Daddario) have been lifelong friends, but Gabe has always held a torch for her – a fact obvious to their families (Pollan, Aaron, Schirripa, Murin)...and everyone else who crosses their path. When Morgan learns from her Uncle Tommy (Pantoliano) that someone anonymously helped her family get by after he was drafted more than 60 years ago – and that he continues to receive a Christmas gift each year to this day – she decides to find his benefactor and give her uncle a Christmas he’ll always remember. Aided by Bills Mafia friends of theirs, Morgan and Gabe work together to unwrap the gifter’s identity. Along the way, Gabe’s love for Morgan deepens and in turn, she begins to see him in a new light though neither is daring enough to admit their feelings. Meanwhile, Morgan’s hopes of pulling off her surprise for Uncle Tommy get sacked. That is, until Gabe takes matters into his own hands and uses his connections with the Bills to pull off the surprise of a lifetime for Morgan and both their families that will make this a Christmas they’ll never forget.

It’s a brand-new episode for a brand new Hallmark movie (finally!!!). Brian is here to help us review the newest Hallmark movie, Adventures in Love & Birding . ABOUT ADVENTURES IN LOVE & BIRDING A single mom agrees to be the partner of a bird enthusiast for a birding competition but misunderstands the assignment and tells everyone she's his new girlfriend instead of just his teammate. AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR ADVENTURES IN LOVE & BIRDING September 27th, 2025 | Hallmark Channel / Hallmark+ CAST & CREW OF ADVENTURES IN LOVE & BIRDING Rachel Boston as Celeste Andrew W. Walker as John BRAN’S ADVENTURES IN LOVE & BIRDING SYNOPSIS Celeste loves birds. We know this because she literally stops someone from trimming a tree branch that has a bird in it. She also has a daughter named Morgan. Then we meet John—who also loves birds. We know this because he uses binoculars to look at them. John never finished his PhD, so he’s hoping that winning a big birding competition will give him the publicity he needs to finally go full-time with birding. He even thinks birding is cool because, apparently, James Bond likes birds. Celeste’s friend overcommits and asks her to fill in as John’s partner for the competition. When Celeste realizes John is dealing with his ex—who just so happens to also be competing—she pretends to be his girlfriend. Meanwhile, the competition is a huge deal for John since the prize money could help him start his own business. Celeste asks him to teach her everything about birding, and in exchange, he tags along for a bowling outing and pretends to be her date. That’s right—double fake relationship. At the bowling alley, John overhears Celeste’s friends saying they don’t think he really likes her because he never touches her. So what do they do? They kiss. Big ones. Celeste finds herself not only getting into birds, but also getting into John. She’s falling for him for real. And it’s clear he’s falling for her too—until the big dance. When he won’t confirm whether it’s a real date and declares it's all just present, Celeste gets frustrated, and leaves early. John realizes he’s messed up. So, in true Hallmark fashion, the movie ends with him showing up at Morgan’s art show to confess that he stopped pretending a long time ago. They kiss (again, big ones), and he lets her know he’s still planning to start that birding business.

It’s Mighty Monday, and Ryan is here to dive into one of his favorite movies ever: Little Big League . ABOUT LITTLE BIG LEAGUE When his grandfather dies, 12-year-old Billy Heywood inherits the Minnesota Twins baseball team — and decides to manage them himself. Navigating locker room politics, skeptical players, and the pressures of big league life, Billy tries to prove that heart (and kid logic) might just beat experience. AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR LITTLE BIG LEAGUE June 29, 1994 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF LITTLE BIG LEAGUE Luke Edwards as Billy Heywood Timothy Busfield as Lou Collins John Ashton as Mac Macnally Ashley Crow as Jenny Heywood Kevin Dunn as Arthur Goslin Jason Robards as Thomas Heywood Directed by Andrew Scheinman BRAN’S LITTLE BIG LEAGUE SYNOPSIS It’s little league baseball time, folks, and little Billy Haywood is a bit of a baseball genius. He knows all the rules and even helps the ump with a call. Unfortunately, he’s not very good at actually playing baseball himself. Billy’s grandpa, Thomas, comes to watch him play, and he just seems like a normal grandpa—until we find out he’s filthy rich and owns the Minnesota Twins. Billy goes to a Twins game with Grandpa, and it’s clear all the players know and love him. Grandpa convinces Billy’s mom to let him come back on Tuesday night to see Roger Clemens pitch. But when Billy gets home to get ready, he finds out Grandpa has passed away—and left the team to him. Billy takes this responsibility seriously. When he decides he doesn’t like how the manager is running things, he fires him. After a brief search, Billy appoints himself as manager. The players are skeptical, but Billy promises that if he doesn’t get the last-place Twins moving up the standings in a few weeks, he’ll resign. Things start rocky, but after Billy implores the team to just have fun and fall in love with baseball again, they begin to win. Meanwhile, Billy’s life outside baseball starts to shift. His buddies notice he’s always busy, he has to bench one of his favorite players, and things get complicated when his mom starts dating one of his players—Lou. To make matters worse, Billy curses out an ump in front of his mom. When his mom decides to go out with Lou for her birthday, Billy spite-benches him, which leads to a losing skid. Eventually, Billy admits he’s not having fun anymore and tells his mom he’s tired of being a grown-up. He apologizes to the team and reinstates Lou. The Twins bounce back, and after winning their last games, they face Seattle in a one-game playoff. Down to their final out, Lou steps up to the plate. Before batting, he tells Billy he asked his mom to marry him, and she said, “Ask Billy.” Billy tells him he can marry her whether he hits a homer or not. Lou faces Randy Johnson and smacks a long fly ball to center—it looks like a home run, but Ken Griffey Jr. robs it. Season over. Billy tells the players he’s officially stepping down as manager. They push back, but he insists he’ll still be around as owner. The movie ends with Billy being told no one has left the stadium—they’re all cheering for him. He goes out for the curtain call.

It’s Festive Friday, and for this episode we were joined by Alonso to dig into a holiday movie that is absolutely insane. ABOUT CIVIL CHRISTMAS During the Civil War, a wounded Union soldier falls in love with a Southern woman while taking refuge in her cabin on Christmas Eve. AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR CIVIL CHRISTMAS July 2, 2024 | VOD CAST & CREW OF CIVIL CHRISTMAS Sophie Bolen as Aura-Lee Kyle Patrick Douglas as Douglas Andrew Dawe-Collins as Grandpa Charlie BRAN’S CIVIL CHRISTMAS SYNOPSIS We’re dropped into the Civil War as I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day plays. Cut to this woman in her cabin. She hears a sound outside and thinks it’s her grandpa. She runs out and, for some reason, bursts into Hark the Herald Angels Sing . Then she goes back in and sings a song that—honestly—makes it sound like she’s in love with her grandpa. I don’t know. There’s a knock at the door. She grabs her gun and finds a wounded Yankee outside. Even though helping him could get her in trouble, she brings him in and stitches him up. He falls asleep, wakes up, and hears her sing O Holy Night —after which he just casually mumbles that he loves her. They eat and sing Up on the Housetop together, which somehow inspires her to decorate for Christmas. There’s something off about this guy, but I can’t quite place it. Then he recites A Visit from St. Nicholas and asks her to sing again, so they do The First Noel . That’s when he breaks the news: her grandpa isn’t coming home. He says they spent hours together by a fire, had a heart-to-heart, grandpa wrote a poem to God…and then died. To cope, she sings Silent Night . Naturally. They have a quick “nuanced” conversation about slavery and then immediately slide into What Child Is This . She says goodnight, and that’s when he drops the bomb: he actually killed her grandpa after grandpa shot him in the back. Oh, and by the way, they knew each other as kids and were first loves. He gives her another letter from grandpa, and they cap it all off by singing a slow version of Jingle Bells . He proposes, she says yes, and they celebrate on the porch. Then—plot twist—it turns out they’re in one of Krampus’ snow globes, and suddenly everything makes sense.

Nancy discovers that the mayor isn’t around because he had a heart attack. So, she steps up and takes charge, making sure everyone stays safe. Meanwhile, Gus scrambles for safety after a tree crashes through her window. Over with Mae, she’s with her fiancé, Jay, and tells him she doesn’t think they should get married. She insists she’s cursed, while Jay insists he doesn’t believe in any of that “Mimi’s curse” stuff. Frank Jr.’s car won’t start, so he runs to his momma’s house. Amanda is with Sergio, who’s clearly nervous, and she comforts him. (They’re definitely not about to kiss… yet.) Frank Jr. reluctantly helps Gus down the stairs, and she points out that his momma is busy helping others. Mae breaks down her entire family tree for Jay to prove the curse is real. Cardy Wong shows up again with a flat tire, and Nancy helps him and his baby. This makes her think of her own baby boy, so she rushes to his apartment—but he’s nowhere to be found. That’s because he’s with Gus, who gives him a piece of her mind about how incredible his momma is. This brings Frank Jr. to tears. Mae admits she’s worried she’s like the men in her family. Jay reminds her that she’s more like her momma, and that’s enough for him. He proposes again. Nancy is relieved when she finds out Frank Jr. is safe with Gus, and he finally gives her a proper apology. Amanda and Sergio make it through the night without kissing, and just when it looks like they might finally lock lips, they’re interrupted by Frankie. The episode ends with Mae stepping out of hiding, shocked at the devastation the storm has left behind.

It’s time for another Hallmark review! This episode was originally released in 2024, and we were joined by Alonso Duralde to break down the final Groomsmen movie. ABOUT THE GROOMSMEN: LAST DANCE Jackson moves to Italy to be near his daughter, but a chance meeting with cafe owner Gabriella, and some meddling friends, may lead to a second chance at love.

Britt as Pete Elena Rusconi as Gabriella BRAN'S THE GROOMSMEN: LAST DANCE SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off at the initial wedding, where Jackson is dancing with his daughter, Betty, when she drops a bomb—she’s moving to Italy with her mom. Jackson is devastated. He runs a firm representing social media influencers, including a guy who just eats soup. One day, he gets a call from his ex asking if Betty can stay with him for a while. Jackson comes up with a better idea: “I’ll come to you!” He heads to Italy in a red convertible—because why not? He nearly hits a woman named Gabriella, and though he thinks he’ll never see her again, fate has other plans. Gabriella runs a café that doesn’t serve cappuccinos in the afternoon, so they keep bumping into each other. Friction turns into sexual tension, and Jackson even builds her a new website. But he insists, “Nothing is going to happen between us,” hesitant to love again after his divorce. When his sons visit, they encourage him to go to a masked dance. Hesitant at first, he ends up dancing with a masked stranger—and it’s hot, hot, hot. He even dips her! But he leaves before discovering her identity. The next day at the café, Gabriella slips, and Jackson catches her—dip style—realizing it was the same woman from the dance. They talk it out, and she admits she didn’t realize it was him. Later, while walking with Betty, she points out that Jackson is afraid of dating and that it’s not fair to either of them. Gabriella brings over some lasagna, and Jackson offers to drive her home. When the car breaks down, they walk back together through the city. He opens up about his past, and she admits she knew it was him at the dance all along. Just as they’re about to kiss, a sprinkler goes off—because, apparently, wet kisses are forbidden. Jackson joins Gabriella for dinner at her father’s house and initially doubts their relationship can work. She reminds him, “We’ll always have that dance.” Realizing he’s been foolish, Jackson decides to stay—and they finally kiss. The story cuts back to Betty, the narrator. Milo shows up and confesses he’s loved her since they were kids. They get married, everyone gives endless speeches, and then they all dance. Finally, the groomsmen perform their special dance again.

It’s Mighty Monday’s and Ryan is here to help review a throwback Disney sports comedy, Rookie of the Year . ABOUT ROOKIE OF THE YEAR : After a freak accident leaves 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner with an unusually powerful pitching arm, his life changes overnight. The struggling Chicago Cubs discover his talent and sign him to the big leagues, thrusting Henry into the wild world of Major League Baseball. Between learning how to balance fame, friendship, and family, Henry must figure out if he has what it takes to be more than just a rookie sensation. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: July 7, 1993 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Thomas Ian Nicholas as Henry Rowengartner Gary Busey as Chet “The Rocket” Steadman Daniel Stern as Brickma (and Director) Albert Hall as Manager Sal Martinella Amy Morton as Mary Rowengartner Eddie Bracken as Bob Carson BRAN'S ROOKIE OF THE YEAR SYNOPSIS: The movie kicks off, and there’s no mistaking it—this is a baseball movie. John Candy is at Wrigley Field for the first game of the season, and, well… the Cubs aren’t doing so hot. Cut to young Henry Rowengartner, who, despite absolutely loving baseball, also isn’t very good—just like his beloved Cubs. But it’s okay, because he has a loving and supportive mom at home, who is dating this goober named Jack, whom Henry absolutely hates. The next day at school, a classmate hits a fly ball to see if Henry can catch it. He’s running, things are looking good… until he slips on the grass. His arm is badly injured and has to be in a cast for four months. When the cast finally comes off, the doctor tests Henry’s arm—but suddenly it snaps forward and hits the doctor in the face. Luckily, it’s nothing serious; the tendons just healed a little tight. To celebrate being out of the cast, his mom gives him and his two best friends tickets to a Cubs game. During the game, the opposing team hits a home run… and, naturally, Henry throws it back. But this isn’t just any throw—the ball rockets all the way to the catcher! The Cubs’ management is shocked to learn the incredible throw came from an 11-year-old boy. Desperate to save the struggling team, general manager Larry “The Fish” Fisher recruits Henry. They sign him to a contract and, in front of a sellout crowd, make him pitch in the first game. It doesn’t go perfectly… but the Cubs still win. Before long, Henry starts hitting his stride. With the wins come sponsorships, fame, and attention—but he begins to drift away from his friends. Realizing he’s lost sight of what matters, Henry decides to retire at the end of the season. Meanwhile, the team’s owner realizes the Fish isn’t exactly the best manager and decides it’s time for a change. It all comes down to the final game. Henry steps in to save the day, but during play, he slips and lands hard on his arm. His arm is suddenly “fixed”—but not quite the right way. Thanks to clever plays and some help from his mom, the Cubs pull off a victory. In the end, Henry returns to being just a normal kid, ready to enjoy life beyond baseball.

It's Festive Friday and Alonso is here to help review another Christmas movie we missed from 2024, Ebenezer: The Traveler. ABOUT EBENEZER THE TRAVELER: Following the merriest Christmas day of Ebenezer Scrooge's long and miserable life, the day after finds him much less merry, and instead much more dead. Reunited with his old partner Jacob Marley, a no longer quite so Tiny Tim, and his beloved sister Fan, together they are tasked with earning their own redemptions, and regaining Scrooge's second chance, by crossing over time and the mortal plane to help guide others who are in danger of losing their way. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR EBENEZER THE TRAVELER: December 6, 2024 | VOD CAST & CREW OF EBENEZER THE TRAVELER : Jerry Parisi as Ebenezer Scrooge Amanda Rae Dodson as Fan Scrooge Michael Bertolini as Jacob Marley Austen Shane as Tiny Tim Leland Prater as Simon Onyx BRAN'S EBENEZER THE TRAVELER SYNOPSIS: The movie starts with a man, Simon Onyx, looking straight into the camera and asking us what we’re doing here. Well, obviously—we’re here to figure out why the heck Ebenezer Scrooge is in present-day Oklahoma. Flash back to London, 1809. We get the classic Christmas Carol story to catch us up: heartbreak, dead business partner, three ghosts, merry Christmas—you know the drill. Scrooge returns to his house, thrilled over a shiny quarter. But then, the ghosts kill him. He comes face-to-face with Simon Onyx, who refuses to give him any real answers. Instead, Simon explains that Scrooge still has a shot at redemption. Simon opens a flaming book, and suddenly, Scrooge disappears. He’s hurled forward seven years and finds himself standing alongside Jacob Marley, Tiny Tim, and Fan—all dead. They reveal that Scrooge himself was murdered, and now the four of them are bound together, dependent on one another for redemption. Oh, and Fan? She’s Scrooge’s sister, though he doesn’t remember her. They wander around purgatory for a while, collecting mirrors that let them glimpse the soul they’re meant to save: a woman named Angel. Cut to present-day Oklahoma. Their mission begins at a bar called The Boar’s Den. Scrooge is immediately tossed out, so they seek out Angel’s mom to learn more about her. Eventually, they track Angel to her workplace—a thrift store, oddly enough, run by a young version of Ebenezer Scrooge. Angel is fired for being too kind. Out of options, she goes to The Boar’s Den for a job. The shady owner assures her he can “find something that’ll work for a beautiful woman like you.” Bad vibes all around. Since Angel’s true dream is to become a singer, Scrooge and Fan work to make it happen. They rescue her from the big bad guy and connect her with a local music manager. On Christmas Eve, Angel gets her chance to shine at a showcase—and she nails it. Her life is saved. As for Scrooge, Marley, Tiny Tim, and Fan? Looks like they’re still stuck in purgatory.

Meanwhile, Nancy says goodbye to the pastor before he leaves for his mission trip—she’s not going. Their goodbye comes with a kiss. Mae finally confides in Amanda that she doesn’t think Clayton is here for her. Right on cue, he shows up 30 minutes late to check on Gus, brushing it off by saying he got caught up in “business.” Nancy goes to check on her son and is shocked to find Mr. Chicken absolutely packed. They’ve got sports on TV, and the chicken being served is her recipe. Sabrina breaks some bad news to Mae: the flowers won’t arrive in time. Amanda starts spiraling—especially since the editor is here. Meanwhile, Clayton tries to give Gus some pie, but she can tell the vibe between them has shifted. As Sabrina continues setting up chairs, the super-hot handyman from Season 1 makes his return.

The meeting between Amanda and the editor goes great—the editor thinks Amanda could turn her drawings into a best-selling book. Shawna serves Frank Jr. divorce papers, which he now has to legally deal with—and it’s glorious.

Britt as Pete BRAN'S THE GROOMSMEN SECOND CHANCES SYNOPSIS: The “groomsmen” show up at the pub looking for a bride, but the pub owner tells them to scram. After they leave, the bride continues her story. Before she tells us about her own wedding, she has to share about another one. Danny is talking to his business manager, Zach. Danny’s like, “Zach, you’re coming with me to my sister’s wedding.” When he tells his buddies that Zach is tagging along, they’re like, “Shouldn’t you already be dating someone?” Danny insists, “No way—we’re just friends. We’re too different.” At the wedding, Danny and Zach dance and talk—Zach about a new guy he’s seeing, Danny about what went wrong with his ex. A month later, Danny meets Nolan, who flatters him by calling him the greatest pitcher the Phillies ever had. Turns out, Zach and Nolan end up together—but Zach doesn’t tell Danny. At Pete’s wedding, Danny tries to bring it up, but Zach shuts it down. They just dance instead. While dancing, Zach admits that he had proposed to Nolan, but Nolan turned him down, and they broke up. Later, the guys convince Danny to shoot his shot with Zach. He finally decides to—only for Zach to reveal that Nolan is actually back, and this time they’re getting married. Danny’s even asked to be best man and help plan the wedding. The wedding is set for Greece (because why not). Right before the trip, Nolan says he can’t leave yet but will arrive the day before the ceremony. So Danny goes with Zach to help with the planning. They tour Greece, throwing parties (well, planning a wedding). One day, Zach surprises Danny with a batting cage on the beach. Danny teaches him how to swing—it’s sensual, sparks fly. The next day, when Danny tries to talk about it, Zach brushes it off. The boys encourage Danny to be honest, so he finally confesses his feelings. Zach rejects him: “Hard pass, man.” On the wedding day, Danny is nowhere to be found. The guys discover him staring out at the water. Zach shows up, confesses he’s in love with Danny too, and they kiss before jumping into the water together. One year later—they’re the ones getting married!

Happy Monday. It's time to get Mighty! Ryan is here to help review the 1993 classic, Rookie of the Year. ABOUT COOL RUNNINGS: When a Jamaican sprinter is disqualified from the Olympic Games, he enlists the help of a dishonored coach to start the first Jamaican Bobsled Team. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR COOL RUNNINGS: October 1, 1993 | Theaters CAST & CREW OF COOL RUNNINGS : Leon as Derice Bannock Doug E. Doug as Sanka Coffie Rawle D. Lewis as Junior Bevil Malik Yoba as Yul Brenner John Candy as Irving “Irv” Blitzer BRAN'S COOL RUNNINGS SYNOPSIS: We're in Jamaica, and it's not quite bobsled time. We meet Jamaican sprinter Derice running through town. It's November 1987, and Derice is preparing to qualify for the Olympics. He runs until he reaches the pushcart competition, where his best friend Sanka competes in the big pushcart race. Sanka crashes, but no problem—Derice keeps running. It's time for the qualifying race. Derice is the clear favorite. The top four finishers will represent Jamaica in the Olympics. Unfortunately, the runner next to him, Junior, stumbles and takes Derice down with him. Derice tries to convince the Olympic committee leader to rerun the race, but it's a no-go. On his way out, he notices a picture of his late father standing next to another man. He asks who it is, and learns that it’s Irv Blitzer, a fellow gold medalist who once competed in bobsledding. Irv lives in Jamaica now, working as a bookie and living a miserable life. It takes a while, but Derice finally wears him down, and Blitzer agrees to give him a shot. They gather a group of people together, but Blitzer scares them off by showing a reel of bobsled crashes. By the time it ends, the room is empty—except for one of the other runners who fell with Junior, a grumpy guy named Yul. The problem is, there’s no such thing as a three-man bobsled team. That’s when Junior shows up. Yul tries to fight him when he walks in, but—like it or not—that’s their squad. They get to work, and after a lot of crashing and falling, they finally manage to get into the bobsled in under six seconds. Now they need funding. After failing to land a sponsor, they try random fundraisers, but still fall short. Junior steps up and sells his fancy car to cover the rest of the costs. To Calgary they go. Blitzer registers the team and borrows a rundown bobsled from a former teammate. The Jamaicans struggle to adapt to, well, ice. Derice talks to an opponent who warns him that Blitzer is holding him back—that he hasn’t been the same since he was caught cheating. Meanwhile, the other teammates get into a bar fight at a honky-tonk. Derice gives them a pep talk about locking in and focusing. It’s time for qualifying, and Blitzer surprises them with their very own uniforms. They need to make it under 60 seconds—and THEY DO IT! They celebrate by painting their sled and naming it Cool Runnings. But soon after, they receive a letter: they’ve been disqualified. Blitzer storms into the rules committee meeting, insisting they not penalize the team for his past mistakes. After deliberation, the committee reinstates them. It’s Olympic time. Back home, everyone watches as they march in the opening ceremonies. Junior’s dad tries to pull him back home, but Junior stands up to him at last. The team’s first run on the track is a disaster, and they finish dead last. Derice tries copying the Swiss team’s methods, but Sanka pushes back—telling him they need to be themselves. On the second day, they race in their own style and finish eighth. During their final race, a loose screw causes one of the bobsled’s blades to detach, sending the sled crashing and flipping over. Determined to finish, the team lifts the sled and carries it across the finish line. The crowd erupts in applause—including Junior’s father. The epilogue explains that the team returned to Jamaica as heroes, and came back four years later to the Winter Olympics to compete as equals.

It's Festive Friday and Alonso is here to help review another Christmas movie we missed from 2024, Festival of Trees. ABOUT FESTIVAL OF TREES: Jacquie's future as a designer could rest on winning the annual "Festival of Trees" competition, but coming up with the perfect design means she needs to remember what Christmas is really all about. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR FESTIVAL OF TREES: November 24, 2024 | UpTV CAST & CREW OF FESTIVAL OF TREES : Kate Miner as Jacquie Miller Greg Perrow as Brandon Holliday Josie Davis as Alice Stewart Sarah Hayter as Heather BRAN'S FESTIVAL OF TREES SYNOPSIS: The movie kicks off with a local morning show doing a story about the Festival of Trees. They bring on designer Alice Stewart, who has won the festival for the past few years. Jacquie is at home watching it, rolling her eyes. Jacquie wants to compete in the Festival of Trees this year. First, she needs a sponsor, so she goes to pitch Lowery & Lowe. He says he needs to run it by his other teammates and asks to keep her portfolio—which happens to be the only one she has. At the opening ceremony for the Festival of Trees, it becomes clear that Alice and Jacquie know each other—and they definitely don’t like each other. While she hasn’t officially been accepted into the competition, Jacquie gets to work. She bumps into Alice’s assistant, who shames her at every turn, then informs her that Lowery & Lowe is sponsoring Alice this year. That means they won’t be going with Jacquie. While processing that news, a guy comes up and asks her for advice. She’s not in the mood and just hands him her entire basket. She’s feeling really down, and it only gets worse—she gets a call from the committee with bad news. They cannot accept her design due to plagiarism. Jacquie is shocked—she worked so hard on it. Apparently, someone else submitted the exact same design before she did. She has until noon tomorrow to submit a new design. So Jacquie and her assistant Heather go searching for inspiration and end up at a Christmas tree farm, where they bump into the guy from the shop. His name is Brandon, and he owns the place. He encourages her to make a tree that speaks to the everyman, not just the uppity elite. To spark ideas, Jacquie visits the children’s hospital that the Festival of Trees benefits. There, she meets a little girl named Rachel. Rachel shares what she loves about Christmas, which inspires Jacquie to create a tree completely inspired by the children. Each kid will get their own ornament based on their likes and interests. Jacquie and Heather head down to the hospital to interview the kids. Later, Jacquie goes to pick out her own tree to get into the Christmas spirit. Brandon delivers it, and they spend some time together—the sparks are flying—until he takes a call and says, “I’ll be there in 15 minutes, honey.” Assuming he’s already in a relationship, she decides to call it a night. The next day, when Jacquie goes to show Rachel her ornament, she’s surprised when Brandon walks in. Turns out, Brandon is Rachel’s dad—and “honey” was who he was talking to the night before! Festival time arrives, and Jacquie’s tree is a masterpiece. She notices Alice has stolen her old design, but she doesn’t care—she likes hers more. Brandon and Jacquie admire the tree together when she realizes it will be auctioned off, meaning the kids won’t get their ornaments. Heather tells her to let it go—they’ve already done something amazing. To her surprise, Jacquie ends up winning! She and Brandon celebrate with a kiss. Her business takes off. They head to the hospital to give the kids the drawings of their ornaments, only to be shocked when they see the actual tree there. And the good news keeps coming—Rachel has been given the all-clear! The movie ends with snow falling and another kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Did you miss our review of Groomsmen First Look last October? Have no fear! We're releasing it again for you to enjoy! Alonso is with us today to help us break down all that happen in the 1st Groomsmen movie. ABOUT THE GROOMSMEN FIRST LOOK: A pediatrician and an overseas doctor, meet at a wedding in Philadelphia, but the long distance, family, and their friends may hinder their budding romance. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE GROOMSMEN FIRST LOOK: October 17, 2024 | Hallmark+ / September 6, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF THE GROOMSMEN FIRST LOOK : B.J. Britt as Pete Heather Hemmens as Chelsea Jonathan Bennett as Danny Tyler Hynes as Jackson BRAN'S THE GROOMSMEN FIRST LOOK SYNOPSIS: This woman walks into a store, clearly hiding from someone. The shop owner asks, “Who are you hiding from?” She peeks out and whispers, “Them! The groomsmen.” The store owner leans in: “What’s the story?” She sighs. “It all started with a wedding…” Cut to a wedding. We see a guy in a suit on the phone. His name is Dr. Byer, and he bumps into a girl—not the girl from the beginning, but Hannah’s maid of honor. They bond over their shared belief that clip-on ties are cheating. She’s nervous about giving a speech. Turns out Dr. Byer is good friends with Danny, the best man. And surprise—she’s a doctor too. Dr. Chelsea. There’s one other groomsman: Jackson. Jackson, Danny, and Pete have been best friends since summer camp. They love hanging out and, of course, choreographed dances. Pete meets Chelsea, and they end up dancing and talking all night. But there’s a catch—she lives halfway around the world. At the end of the night, she drops the bomb: she’s leaving in the morning. She says, “We should stay in touch.” Pete replies, “We aren’t really going to stay in touch, are we?” He kisses her hand, and they part ways. The next day, Pete’s hanging out with the guys. Danny says, “What about a long-distance relationship?” Jackson adds, “Actually, you might be perfect for it. You’re so organized and stuck in your ways.” Pete is torn, but they convince him: “You’ve got to stop her before she goes to the airport and tell her she’s all you’ve ever wanted.” They rush to the hotel, but—womp womp—she’s already gone. Pete chases after her, only to realize she was never in the cab. She’s still at the hotel. He comes back, gulps some water, and shoots his shot… badly. But Chelsea admits she feels the same way, though she doesn’t know how the distance will work. Pete says, “I don’t know either, but I don’t want to not try.” She grabs his phone, takes a selfie with him, and gives him her number. They start texting nonstop—cute doctor stuff, constant phone calls. Then one day, everything changes: video calls! Jackson takes this seriously, even sending his client Celeste to do Pete’s makeup before a call. Pete dials in… no answer. Then a text: “Sorry, this isn’t working.” Blocked. WTF?! Jackson and Danny try to reassure him, but Pete feels crushed. Later that night, Pete gets woken up by a call. It’s Chelsea. The storm knocked out her internet. That’s all she meant—he was never really blocked. Relief. Things go back to normal. They just want to see each other in person. Easier said than done. Both are so busy. One day, Pete’s at Danny’s nephew’s birthday party when Chelsea shows up. “I’m here for one night. Let’s go on a proper date.” Danny yells, “WE’RE GOING SHOPPING!” On their date, things feel harder than expected. It’s awkward—not just because a guitar player won’t stop playing in their faces, but because online chemistry doesn’t always translate perfectly in person. So they bail and grab Philly cheesesteaks instead. On their walk, Chelsea admits, “I actually came here to break up with you. But after tonight…I want to keep trying.” Pete smiles: “I know how we can try next…” They kiss. His boys warn him: “Whatever you do, don’t say ‘I love you’ first.” Naturally, Chelsea hops in a cab, Pete chases it down, and he blurts it out. She says it back. The crowd cheers. Pete decides to propose. The boys warn him: “Don’t you think you should spend more time together in person first?” But Pete is set. He flies out to surprise her—only to drop the ring box on the luggage carousel. When it comes back around, it’s gone. He scrambles after it, gets detained by TSA, but luckily Chelsea knows the officers. They let him go with a warning. As Pete and Chelsea leave, TSA hands him the ring back. He proposes right then and there. Chelsea laughs: “This is so crazy! Yes!” They go to meet her parents. It’s tense—her parents are intense, her mom furious they want to get married on the beach. Eventually, they compromise: a five-star resort by the beach. Pete’s mom shows up and disapproves of everything, but then declares she’s going to officiate the wedding. The groomsmen arrive, everyone has dinner, and Pete admits he’s considering moving overseas with Chelsea. It’s too much. Chelsea storms off. “Go camping with your boys. We need a break.” Disaster strikes—a massive storm hits while the guys are lost in the woods, grounding flights and keeping wedding guests away. Pete fights with the groomsmen, storms off, then they reconcile. The next day, things are better. He and Chelsea reconnect on the beach. She tells him she can’t wait to spend the rest of her life with him. They kiss and, right then and there, get married exactly the way they wanted—simple, real, and by the ocean. So what does this have to do with the woman from the beginning? She leans in and says: “Pete and Chelsea’s story was just the beginning. Because after them… there was another wedding.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Happy Monday. It's time to get Mighty! Ryan is here to help review the 1994 classic, The Little Giants. ABOUT THE LITTLE GIANTS: Misfits form their own opposing team to an elite peewee football team, coached by the elite team coach's brother. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE LITTLE GIANTS: October 14, 1994 | Theaters CAST & CREW OF THE LITTLE GIANTS : Rick Moranis as Danny O’Shea Ed O’Neill as Kevin O’Shea Shawna Waldron as Becky “Icebox” O’Shea Devon Sawa as Junior Floyd BRAN'S THE LITTLE GIANTS SYNOPSIS: The movie kicks off with some wacky football animation. The X’s. The O’s. The Little Giants. It’s 1964, and the O’Shea brothers are walking down the street. Big brother Kevin is annoyed that little brother Danny is tagging along to play football with his friends. So annoyed, in fact, that Kevin won’t even pick him to be on his team. To cheer him up, he tells Danny that one day their names will both be on the town water tower—The O’Shea Brothers. Cut to the present, and the only name on that water tower is Kevin’s. Kevin owns a car dealership and, most importantly, coaches pee-wee football. Today is tryouts. One of those hopefuls is Icebox—or should I say, Becky… Danny’s daughter. That’s right, a girl! We quickly learn just how much Kevin has accomplished: championships in high school and college, the Heisman Trophy—he’s done it all. Time to find out who made the team. All the “dorks” you’d expect get cut… along with Icebox. Danny tells his brother he’s wrong about those kids, and he’s going to prove it. Icebox rallies the others, announcing that they’ll start their own team—coached by her dad. Danny’s not so sure, until Kevin lays down the rule: one town, one team. He challenges Danny to a playoff in two weeks. Winner gets to be the town’s team. The squad needs more players, so Icebox and the crew recruit outcasts around town. At the grocery store, they spot a kid showing off an impressive arm by tossing toilet paper rolls. Icebox is thrown off because—wait for it—she also thinks he’s cute. Turns out he’s a great quarterback. Word gets to Kevin, who goes to check it out… and winds up arrested for being a peeping tom. Then a new kid moves to town—Spike. He’s massive. His dad calls Danny, thinking he’s Kevin, to say Spike wants to play. But Spike doesn’t fit in, Spike doesn’t like them, and Spike is basically the bad guy. Eventually, Spike’s dad pulls him from the team once he realizes they’re with Danny, which sparks a huge fight among the players. All seems lost… until John Madden shows up—with four NFL players! Just the boost they need. It’s game day. Right before kickoff, Kevin goads Danny into a bet: if Danny wins, he gets Kevin’s Chevrolet dealership; if Kevin wins, he gets Danny’s gas station. The Giants fall behind 21 points by halftime. Spirits are low—until Danny gives a heartfelt speech. The team rallies, and with a last-second fumblerooski, they win the game! Danny suggests that instead of the Giants replacing the Cowboys, they merge into one team so both brothers can coach. He also rekindles his childhood romance with Patty. And instead of holding Kevin to the dealership bet, Danny asks for just one thing: change the water tower. From “Home of Kevin O’Shea” to “Home of the O’Shea Brothers.” Promise fulfilled.

Despite his ex trying to win him back, he just can’t do it. He decides he needs a change—so he hops on Mister B&B to find a place. He stumbles upon Oliver’s listing for a charming cottage in Brilfax. Conveniently, Oliver happens to be reading a very specific book: Single, Gay, and Holidating Yourself in LA. And where is Wilde from? LA. So, naturally, they decide to house-swap. Wilde goes out to a bar and bonds with locals while trashing his ex. Meanwhile, Oliver attends a signing for the very book he’s been reading, just so he can tell the author, Julius, that it’s all wrong. Julius is initially taken aback by his critiques, but the sparks begin to fly. Back in Brilfax, Wilde can’t resist calling his ex—and it does not go well. After a bath, he’s surprised when Oliver’s cousin, Henry, shows up out of nowhere during a snowstorm. They have some awkward banter, and Oliver agrees to let Henry stay. The next day, Wilde learns Henry is also an actor, just like his ex. So obviously, it won’t work. Spoiler alert: it does. They start hanging out, and after a fun night together, they walk in the snow and share a kiss. Meanwhile, in LA, Oliver and Julius begin to spend more time together after Julius’ manager nudges him to reconnect. Things are going great. But of course, each couple hits an “all is lost” moment. Wilde sees Henry talking to his manager—who also happens to be his ex—and it feels a little too familiar. And Julius finds out Oliver is a divorce attorney (which he failed to mention) and gets furious. Luckily, it all works out. Wilde and Henry reconcile, and Wilde says he’s willing to move to LA to be with him. Oliver resigns from being a divorce attorney to pursue a nonprofit passion project, which makes Julius thrilled. The couples reunite in LA for New Year’s Eve and have a great time—despite Wilde’s parents crashing the party.

Making a good strawberry preserve takes time, ya see? Gus is out and about dealing with the railroad arm, giving Nancy even more fuel for her fire to get that sucker fixed. Amanda tells Sergio she has a new nickname for him—Biscuit—because he’s good at getting people out of jams. The sparks are flying. Jag from Jag pays for all the wine for Mae’s bachelorette party, and she is overjoyed. Nancy is still trying to get signatures for the railroad arm, but people aren’t nearly as eager to fix it as she thought they’d be. Frank Jr. is trying to convince his boss to let him make good chicken to sell. The boss loves the chicken but not the idea. Then the Fish arrives. She came to try the chicken after seeing it on Chicken Clash . She asks to give her compliments to the chef, and—plot twist—it turns out she’s Sergio’s ex-wife! In this show, her name is Nikita, and she asks Sergio to come be the head chef at a new restaurant she’s starting. Jay visits Gus for help writing his vows. He wants to know more about what she was like as a kid. Mae welcomes all her friends to her fancy bachelorette party. Her friends just want to drink the wine they like, but Mae’s not having it—this is her fancy party. When she overhears her friends and sisters joking about it, she kicks everyone out. Sergio meets up with Nikita to hear more about her ideas. Meanwhile, Amanda gathers the girls to throw Mae a “make-good” bachelorette party—doing something Mae will definitely hate: a scavenger hunt. Frank Jr. does the math and realizes it’ll only cost two cents more to make good chicken. His boss is shocked it’s so little. Maybe there’s something there. What Frank’s keeping secret is that it’s the same recipe the Chicken Sisters use. Amanda, Mae, and their friends have a great night out—until Amanda sees Sergio and Nikita kissing across the street. What she doesn’t hear is him saying no to both the restaurant and to Nikita. Amanda and Mae share a heart-to-heart. Gus is cleaning when Clayton comes in, and the two end up slow dancing. Sergio deletes “Do Not Answer” from his phone just as Amanda texts him to say she’s not going to get in the way of him and Nikita.

Sophie chimes in and says it doesn’t matter what The Times thinks. Nice thought, but no one’s buying it. Cut to fisherman Cam, who runs Easton’s Fish Market. He’s short-staffed but making it work. The review comes in — four stars! Sophie is promoted to sous-chef. She calls her sister to share the big news, but things aren’t great back home. Their family restaurant is bleeding money, and her sister is ready to sell. Sophie says she’ll think about it. Abigail suggests she come back, help out, and stick around for the 4th of July. Sophie asks for time off. It doesn’t go well. She’s never asked before, but three weeks turns into just ten days. When she arrives, she’s horrified to find… frozen fish! She heads to the docks for fresh fish, promptly falls into a net, and gets rescued by Cam. Surprise — they already know each other. They even kissed back in 7th grade. Banter sparks, and Sophie goes on her way. Back at the restaurant, tensions rise between the sisters. Abigail’s been grinding to keep the place alive, and Sophie swoops in buying pricey fish like that’s the magic fix. Meanwhile, Sophie keeps crossing paths with Cam. A local blogger spreads the word that a big-city chef is back in town, which makes Sophie’s boss furious. The sisters start interviewing potential managers. One guy is a perfect fit — but before he can commit, Cam (unknowingly) offers him a better-paying job. Perfect Cam means no harm, but Sophie’s frustrated. Later, she apologizes, and sparks fly. They finally kiss. The next day, she cooks him dinner, sharing her dreams. Her boss wants her to cook for someone opening a restaurant in Vegas — a chance that could change her career. When Sophie leans in for another kiss, Cam pulls back. He doesn’t want to stand in the way of her dreams. The Vegas dinner starts rocky, but Sophie nails it. She’s offered the head chef role. Just as she’s ready to rush out of town, she can’t find Cam — until she learns he’s been secretly framing her old photos. What a guy. They say their goodbyes. But when Sophie’s about to board the helicopter, she can’t go through with it. She quits. She chooses to stay, help run the now-thriving family restaurant, and, of course, be with Cam. She tells her family, finds Cam, and they seal it with some very good kisses. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

It's Mighty Monday and Ryan is here to help us chat about the 1996 classic sports movie, Space Jam. ABOUT SPACE JAM : In a desperate attempt to win a basketball match and earn their freedom, the Looney Tunes seek the aid of retired basketball champion, Michael Jordan. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SPACE JAM: November 15, 1996 | Theaters CAST & CREW OF SPACE JAM : Michael Jordan as Himself Billy West as Bugs Bunny Wayne Knight as Stan Podolak Bill Murray as Himself Larry Bird as Himself Charles Barkley as Himself Patrick Ewing as Himself Muggsy Bogues as Himself Larry Johnson as Himself Shawn Bradley as Himself BRAN'S SPACE JAM SYNOPSIS: Little Michael Jordan is up late, playing basketball outside. His dad tells him to keep shooting until he misses. Michael says he wants to play ball at North Carolina. As he runs toward the hoop and jumps, the scene transitions to adult MJ jumping, leading into a 5+ minute highlight reel of Jordan clips. Honestly, it could’ve been an hour longer and I still would’ve been in. Michael then retires from basketball, and we transition to outer space. We’re dropped onto Moron Mountain, a struggling amusement park. Its owner, Mr. Swackhammer, decides the best course of action is to kidnap the Looney Tunes to be the park’s new attraction. His little henchmen head to Earth to hold the Tunes hostage, but Bugs Bunny convinces them to allow the Tunes to defend themselves, challenging them to a basketball game since the aliens are so small. After seeing a documentary about basketball and learning there are professionals, the aliens travel to Earth and steal the talents of Charles Barkley, Shawn Bradley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, and Muggsy Bogues. Using this talent, they transform into giant, baller versions of themselves known as the Monstars . When the Looney Tunes see how big the Monstars are, they realize they need help. They need the greatest to ever do it: Michael Jordan. They track MJ down at the golf course and literally pull him through a hole. Honestly, MJ handles it surprisingly well and he’s in. Back on Earth, the real NBA players discover they’ve lost their ability to play, leading the league to suspend the season until they figure out what’s happening. It’s time for the big game, and the Monstars dominate the first half. The Tune Squad is devastated. During halftime, MJ’s assistant Stan (who showed up earlier in the movie) learns how the Monstars stole the players’ talent. This discourages the Tunes even more—until Bugs pulls out MJ’s “secret stuff,” which is just water, but convinces the squad to believe in themselves. MJ raises the stakes with Swackhammer, as only he would: if the Tune Squad wins, the Monstars return the stolen talent. If the Monstars win, Jordan will spend the rest of his life as Moron Mountain’s newest attraction. The Tunes fight back, but with only ten seconds left, they’re down to four players. Luckily, Bill Murray shows up to even things out. In the final moments, Jordan talks to Bugs, uses cartoon physics, stretches his arm across the court, and slam-dunks for the win. After Swackhammer berates the Monstars, Jordan helps them realize they only served him because they were small. Fed up, the Monstars stuff Swackhammer into a missile and launch him to the moon. They then relinquish the stolen talent and decide to stay with the Tunes. Meanwhile, Jordan and Stan return to Earth, restoring the NBA stars’ abilities. Their encouragement convinces Jordan to return to the league—and the rest is history. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Jack's joins the boys to chat about The Chicken Sisters Season 2, Episode 3: Daddy's Home, Y'all ABOUT THE CHICKEN SISTERS - S02E03 Amanda, Nancy, and Gus try to mend fences following their Ultimate Kitchen Clash episode's airing, and Mae enlists Sabrina's help with wedding planning. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE CHICKEN SISTERS - S02E03 : August 24, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF THE CHICKEN SISTERS - S02E03 : Schuyler Fisk as Amanda Genevieve Angelson as Mae Lea Thompson as Nancy Wendie Malick as Gus Margo Martindale as Narrator Rukiya Bernard as Sabrina Caitlin Howden as Shawna BRAN'S THE CHICKEN SISTERS - S02E03 SYNOPSIS: We get a flashback of Gus falling for Clayton. She fell for him despite him being one of Frannie’s boys. It shows him leaving her while she was pregnant, and she never saw him again. Fast forward to the present: Clayton’s back, looking dang good. It’s Sunday, and everyone is at church — including Frank Jr. — as the pastor talks about forgiveness. After church, down in the fellowship hall, Mae and Shawna try to convince Amanda to go on a date with Officer Eddie. She reluctantly agrees when he shoots his shot. Frank Jr. walks up, tells his mom, Amanda, and Mae off, and storms out. Meanwhile, Linzey complains to her mom about how annoying Frankie’s boyfriend, Dud, is. Sabrina launches into a “momalogue” about how everything that happens in life shapes you and makes you a more interesting person… or at least, that’s the point. The mayor stops Nancy from leaving and tells her that if she wants the town to fix the broken train arm, she’ll need to gather 300 signatures. Clayton tries to talk to his daughter Mae, but it’s awkward. He tells her he’s her dad, and they sit down for a conversation. Later, Nancy catches Gus hoarding stuff in the closet. Gus admits she’s freaking out because Mae’s dad is back in town. As Nancy helps her clean, she mentions she might be going on a trip for a couple of months with the pastor. Gus doesn’t take it well — she’s grown to really love being close to Nancy after hating her her whole life. Frankie and Linzey hang out, and Frankie reveals a secret: she started a social media account to showcase her mom’s artwork. She also admits she and Dud haven’t even kissed yet. Instead of seizing the moment, Linzey says, “Let’s go get you kissed, then.” Amanda’s date with Eddie ends early when duty calls. Sergio happens to walk in to pick up food, and Amanda invites him to sit. Afterwards, they share a long hug — clearly tempted to kiss — but part ways. Later, Linzey rings Dud’s doorbell and runs, giving Frankie and Dud their first kiss. Mae thanks her mom for calling Clayton and bringing him to town. The episode ends with Clayton knocking on Gus’s door, apologizing for not being there. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

ABOUT DOUBLE SCOOP Nora and James were once the dream team at a top New York ad agency, but now they're locked in a frosty competition for the sweetest client of all: a small-town dairy farm that churns out the most delectable ice cream in the country. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR DOUBLE SCOOP : August 23, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF DOUBLE SCOOP : Taylor Cole as Nora Ryan McPartlin as James Patrick Muldoon as Everett Jacklyn Collier as Shannon BRAN'S DOUBLE SCOOP SYNOPSIS: Nora is a hotshot advertiser who brings her boss, Alexandra, a cake for her birthday. Alexandra left their previous company, H Company, to start a rival firm. Nora’s closest teammate—and rival—James chose to stay behind, and now he’s up for the potential Vice President role. Nora goes out to dinner with her pregnant friend Jacks, who insists they stop at her favorite ice cream spot, Darlington Dairy. Nora tries it, is blown away, and wonders why she’s never heard of it before. (Good question, Nora.) Meanwhile, James’ boss tells him the VP role is between him and Lavery. Whoever brings in the hottest new client within the next two weeks gets the job. The next day, Nora and James bump into each other. She drops her bag, and it’s full of ice cream. She lies, saying it’s for the office, when in reality, she’s eyeing Darlington Dairy as a client. Unfortunately for her, she leaves a carton behind, and James scoops it up. He brings it to his boss and claims the idea as his own. Soon enough, both Nora and James are on planes to Wisconsin to meet the owners. By coincidence, they’re staying at the same inn, in neighboring rooms. Their paths officially collide when they both show up to take the owners to dinner. Classic double booking. Naturally, they all dine together. After dinner, Nora and James lay down some ground rules: no sabotage, no scarfing down ice cream to win favor, and both present their pitches—the best pitch wins. (Which, let’s be honest, feels like the only rule that should matter.) The next morning, Nora’s car won’t start. Turns out it’s an EV, and she forgot to charge it. James offers her a ride. From there, they spend more time together—working on the farm, sharing late nights. One sleepless evening leads to a romantic night under the stars, surrounded by fireflies. One day, James chats with the mayor and learns the town is running out of funding for local farms. He pitches to his boss that they donate money to help, and his boss loves the idea—especially since the owners will surely be impressed. Nora sees James meeting with the mayor and grows suspicious, though she’s also starting to genuinely enjoy his company. At the town’s ice cream festival, the mayor announces the new farmers’ fund in front of everyone. Nora is furious—she feels James is bribing the owners. Finally, pitch day arrives. The owners choose James. Back at the office, James learns his boss called ahead and warned the owners against working with Alexandra. Disgusted, he quits. Later, Nora discovers the owners called her instead—they’re going with her after all, because they found out James walked away. She goes to see James, who reveals Alexandra offered him a job. He’ll only take it if it’s okay with her, because he’s madly in love with her and doesn’t want anything to come between them again. They kiss—and kiss some more.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with the clouds while the score plays....goosebumps. Roger & his best friend and fellow foster kid JP are riding their bikes talking about heaven and where their name "foster" came from. Their foster mom, Maggie, greets them and tells Roger he has a guest. He runs inside and is excited to see his dad who is just lighting up a cig. They talk a little baseball, he puts out a cigerett on his jeans, and tells Roger he's heading up north and can't take him with him. He tells Roger he's signed a release paper. Roger asks his dad when they're gonna be a family again. He says when the Angels win the pennant. Unfortunately, the Angels are real bad. After a handful of errors, the Angel's manager George Knox gets in a literal fight with his pitcher. After the game, Knox goes to talk to the owner. He tells him that he can't win with this team. The owner tells him to wait it out, no one expects him to win here. That night, Roger prays that God helps the Angels win so that he can be with his dad. As he falls asleep, we see a little twinkle in a star. Could be anything. The next day, Roger and JP get to go to a game. During the game, Roger can't believe his eyes as the outfielder seems to get picked up by two guys in sparkling pajamas to make a catch. When he talks to JP about it, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Just looked like a good catch to me. Roger asks another guy. Same answer. Roger is like what the heck? Suddenly, this dude comes to sit next to him and says "I love when they come from above like that". He says his name is Al and no one can see or hear him except for Roger. And he tells Roger to keep his eyes out. He'll be in touch. Roger watches as the angels continue to do their thing and help the team win. After the game, JP learns he won a picture opportunity with Knox. He tells Roger to take his spot. Roger tells Knox that they won because there were angels helping them. He thinks the kid is crazy but he goes into the locker room and asks the players and they give him less than satisfying answers. He goes to invite Roger to sit next to the dugout to let him know if he ends up seeing angels so he can plan accordingly. He tells Roger instead of calling him over, to do an angel signal. Knox begins to listen to him even when it doesn't make sense and they begin to win and win and win some more. They get to the top of the standings and are 1 game away from winning the division. Roger finds out he has to miss a game for a court apperance but he sends JP just in case. They end up losing and JP is so sad after the game that he blabs about the angels to a reporter who hates Knox. Roger's father permanently gives up custody of him which confuses Roger because the Angels are finally winning. When he gets home, Knox is there and he sticks around to cheer him up. The news breaks about the angels and Roger comes clean to Maggie about his special ability. The owner calls Knox in and demands that he stand in front of the press and tell everyone that the story isn't true. Knox doesn't do that and all of the players support him so the owner keeps Knox on. It's the final game of the season and one of the angels show up to help the team. Al shows up and explains to Roger that championships have to be won of their own. Also, in lighter news, the pitcher Mel Clark is going to die in a couple months. Go team. The Angels end up fighting back and Clark goes out to pitch the final inning. He's really struggling. So Knox goes to talk to him while Roger stands up to give the angel signal and the entire stadium joins. He's able to pull out the W with an amazing catch! After the game, Knox brings the kids home and tells them that he wants to adopt them. They're pumped.

Watch on Philo! The movie kicks off with a boy named Julian telling us that he's going to tell us a story about someone named Hedwig. It's Christmas time but Julian isn't in the Christmas spirit. This is the first Christmas since his big sister, Juni, passed away. Julian goes for a swim in the pool and when he comes out for air, he sees a girl waving at him through the window. When he goes to leave, she's waiting for him. He introduces herself and tells him how impressed she is with his swimming. They walk through a Christmas market and she talks about how she absolutely loves Christmas. Julian says he doesn't care for Christmas and she just can't believe it. She gives him a hard time about that and he doesn't take it well. They argue and go their own ways but she runs after him before he gets too far and apologizes. She says she wants to be his friends and invites him to her house for cocoa and maybe seeing her house will give him the Christmas spirit. He walks away anyway. He gets home and it's just sadness. His little sister asks about where the advent candles are which makes their mom sad. Everyone is just sad. The next day, he's at the pool, hoping to see Hedwig again but she doesn't show. He remembered her address from when she told him the night before and tracks it down. It is as magical as she says it'd be and she's not done decorating yet - there's still decorations to add to the bathroom and the storage closet, obviously. She goes to grab and nail and Julian realizes these white ice skates begin to turn black as he gets closer. When she comes back, they go back to white. He's sure it's nothing. They drink some hot chocolate. We find out that Julian's birthday is Christmas eve. He tells her that there's just no Christmas in their house this year, it's too hard for his parents. She encourages him to be the example. So Julian goes homes, dusts off the advent candle set and lights 3 candles. His parents show up and smile at what he did. His sister says maybe if we light the 4th candle, Juni might be so happy that she'll come home for the holidays. The parents struggle with how to respond to that. The next day, Julian and Hedwig play in the snow, building a snow man, a snow sister, and enjoying the snow together. The next day, Julian brings Hedwig a gift - her very own swimsuit so that she can learn to swim. As they go to leave, this scary man walks up with keys to the house. Julian is confused and asks if she's scared that this scary man is walking around her house. She says she's not scared, not of that man. He teaches her to swim and she gets the hang of it until she gets to the deep end and begins to sink. Julian saves her. She says she's not sure she's ever going to be able to do it. Julian follows the old scary dude to this christmas card factory. He picks out a card and then asks him about why he was at the house. He yells at him and tells him to go. Julian and Hedwig go ice skating....well, Julian goes ice skating. Hedwig won't go on the ice. Afterwards, they drink hot chocolate and he tells her all about Juni. The next day, he tries to get her to open up. She won't do it. He tells her that he doesn't want to be her friend if she's not going to open up and she just vanishes. He goes to her house and it's dark. The old scary guy shows up. He tells her that he used to live there with his sister before she died. Her name...Hedwig. She died when they were kids when she fell through the ice. Julian tells him about his sister who died and they use her pictures to make a ton of Christmas cards. Julian hangs this Juni Christmas cards in his house and tells his parents he doesn't want to forget about her or act like nothings happened. He wants to remember her. He then runs to the cemetery to finds Hedwig's grave. He apologizes and she shows back up. He tells her that her brother thinks that she's sticking around because she's mad at him. She says thats not true. They decides it's time for her to go for good. He goes to grab her skates from the closet and they head off to the ice. She skates until the snow ghost comes down from the northern lights to take her away. The movie ends with Julian coming downstairs on his birthday to find his parents have decorated for Christmas. They go to a Christmas service where Julian sings and he goes outside to have a fun snowball fight with his friend.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off and it feels a lot more zany then the other two. Cut to Eden Hall - the ducks are all getting full ride athletic scholarships to be the JV hockey team at Eden Hall. But it's not all fun and games...Bombay tells Charlie that he's not going to be their coach. Charlie is mad. But at least he still has the Ducks. Charlie and the rest of the Ducks show up the first day and make quite the entrance. They get to their happy place - the ice - and immediately begin to play lasso just like the good ol' days. Suddenly, former NHL player Ted Orion comes skating up. He's the new coach. And he is very strict and no one hates him more than Charlie. The Ducks struggle to fit in at this school and are constantly bullied by the Varsity team who Coach Orion warned them not to mess with until they play at the JV Variety showdown. Coach tells Charlie that he's not the captain, moves the players to different positions, starts Julie the Cat over Goldberg, and moves Banks to Varsity. Charlie takes a liking to this girl named Linda and invites her to their first game, which she comes to. It's time for the first game and they absolutely dominate through 2 periods thanks to all of their silly gimmicks. 3rd period begins and they just forget how to play. They give up a ton of goals after not playing playing any defense. They give up 9 goals in one period and the game ends in a tie. Coach is mad. Charlie threatens to quit. And the varsity team puts their clothes in the shower. This leads to a full on prank war. Frozen jackets. Massive dinner bills. Full mission impossible stuff. This leads to an unsanctioned JV vs Varsity game that gets broken up by Orion. He tells them to take off their Duck jerseys. Charlie & Fulton refuse and quit. After a day of tomfoolery, Fulton decides to return to Eden Hall and Charlie is very sad. To make matters worse, Hans passes away. Bombay shows up late to the funeral. Bombay wakes Charlie up out of a slumber and tells him he's got some stuff to show him. They show up at Eden Hall and Charlie tells him that Orion's career ended when the team moved to Dallas and he stayed to care for his paraplegic daughter. Bombay tells Charlie the background story on how he first came to coach the Ducks and says he told Orion that Charlie was the heart and soul of the team, and he hoped that both Orion and Charlie would learn something from each other. The next day, Charlie shows up and tells Orion that he is ready to play two wake hockey. He's happy to have Charlie back. But the Dean shows up before they leave and tells them they're all losing their scholarships. Luckily, Bombay is still a lawyer and comes into a board meeting and threatens to sue them unless they reinstate their scholarships which the board agrees to. The Varsity team comes over and tells them they're going down at the JV/Varsity game, agree that if the JV wins, they become the Ducks, and they get Banks back too for the game. It's time. The JV/Varsity game and Orion brings back the Duck jerseys. Throughout the game, the Varsity dominates on offense. However, the Ducks play good defense and manage to keep the game scoreless after two periods. During the second intermission, Portman shows up ready to join the team. He immediately gets ejected. It all comes down to Charlie passing it back to Goldberg at the last second who scores. The ducks win 1-0! They all celebrate and Charlie sees that Bombay was in the stands this whole time. The Eden Hall banner with the Ducks' logo drops down & Bombay then departs the rink with a smile amid a sea of cheering fans.

The movie kicks off, once again way harder than it needs to. Bombay is out there crushing it in the minors. His future is bright. But he's hit hard and goes down with a knee injury. He goes back home and is picked up by Hans's brother, Yan. They talk about what's next for his life. He doesn't want to go back to Ducksworth. He doesn't think he can make money with pee wee. For now, he's just going to help out in the shop. One day, he has a visitor. It's Don Tibbles and he wants Bombay to coach a team representing the United States in the Junior Goodwill Games in Los Angeles. You'd think maybe there'd be an open try out. There's not. He just gets the Ducks back together thanks to Charlie. Team USA is going to consists of the Ducks and 5 new players: Luis Mendoza, a fast skater who can't stop, Dwayne Robertson, a cowboy who is good with the puck, Julie "The Cat" Gaffney, a goalie that will give Goldberg a run for his money, Ken Wu, a junior Olympic figure skater, and Dean Portman, who is a new enforcer. During the first practice, the teams tutor comes in. Michelle McCay. Bombay immediately puts on the moves. The first practice is rocky, but that's nothing some line dancing and country music can't solve. They have 1 school lesson and they're off to Los Angeles to get started! Up first, Trinidad & Tobago. Tough that USA has to play 2 teams at once but what can ya do. They dominate. The next day, at a press conference, Team Iceland shows up and the coach says TEAM USA IS GOING DOWN, THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING! That's coach and ex-NHL player Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson. More on him later. Bombay begins to enjoy the fancy things that Dom Tibbles is giving him and begins to leave the team by themselves more which causes some issues. One night, Fulton & Portman are out past curfew and they see Bombay out on a date with one of the assistant coaches from Iceland. Bombay walks into the locker room the next day in a fancy suite and his slick back hair. The vibes are off. It's time to play Iceland for the first time. It does not go well. They get blown out 12-1 and Tibbles threatens to fire him if he doesn't get this figured out. He yells at the team and they get real mad. On a mandatory off day given by Michelle, the players go play some street hockey, against a team led by a kid who has been trash talking them at all the games. His name is Russ and he blows their minds with his knuckle-puck. After a kick in the pants by Yan, Bombay goes to skate to clear his mind. In their match against Germany, Bombay fails to arrive on time cuz I guess he lost track of time while skating? I dunno man. Charlie asks Michelle to coach and she does her best but the team is struggling. Bombay finally arrives with his duck call which we all know is duck for "I'm sorry" and the team gets straight to business with the Flying V and win the game. Bombay and Yan go full Mr Miagi and teach all the kids how to use their special skills. Bombay finds out that Banks has a hurt wrist and tells him he has to bench him. But Charlie has found his replacement - Russ and his knuckle-puck. At the last team practice, Bombay wants to have some fun with a beach ball. The Dentist shows up, squashes their ball, and challenges Bombay to a 1 on 1 game. Bombay is killing him when The Dentists nails his knee with his stick intentionally. It's time for the championship and Banks walks in to show that he's been healed. Only problem is his roster spot has been filled. So Charlie offers to give up his spot and become a coach. Bombay does not try to talk him out of it because Charlie sucks at hockey. The game is off to a real rocky start and they go into intermission down 4-1. So they head into the locker room and Bombay gives the classic "ducky fly together" speech and Yan surprises everyone with Ducks uniforms because there's no rule in the play book against changing jerseys during the game. And it works! Thanks to some clever play, the Ducks tie it up. The championship comes down to a shootout. It's 4-3. Iceland has one more shot to tie it up. Naturally, Bombay puts in Julie the cat as goalie. She stops it and the Ducks, I mean Team USA, wins!!! The team heads home and spends some time around the fire as they sing we are the champions together. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Clive is a fancy man who writes a fancy Christmas newsletter every year to tell everyone about all the fun things he did this year. And every year, Joe gets this letter and it just makes him mad. He goes to talk to his wife and complain about how they never do anything. They're alive but they aren't living. We find out that he met Clive in elementary school because Clive was his pen-pal. It was immediately clear that they were from different worlds. To make matters worse, he ends up getting fired. He dreams of having to live on the streets and he wakes up the next day which I guess is Christmas day and tells his wife that he cashed out his 401k so that they can really have a year to remember. They're gonna ski. They're gonna go to the Bahamas. They're gonna see Tigger Woods. Up first, a very bizarre sleigh ride. His wife is not thrilled. And he caps it off by telling her that they're going to Clive's big birthday bash next summer. The hits keep coming - they go to a fancy place for New Year's Eve but I guess his suit isn't good enough. This leads to him accidentally pressing the button to drop the ball too early. The movie continues to be Joe & his family going on outings and it not being what they thought it was. His wife is like I'm not having fun, but he gaslights her into continuing along with the plan. After many many issues, he decides to delete the document he had been working on. But after getting the new letter from Clive, he finishes his letter. His wife tells him if he sends the letter, there might not be a we anymore. He ends up at a bar where Kristoffer Polaha is. And he gives him the same advice his wife gave him all year - his life is pretty good. No need to lie.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH On this season of The Way Home, it starts with someone running through the woods. I kid I kid. This couple is running through the wood, rocking old timey garb, as they're chased with people. That doesnt stop them from hiding behind a tree for a kissssss. They get back to running and she trips over a rock and falls off a cliff as her boo thang yells CORAAAAAA. She keeps falling until she lands ... in present day into her bed. She jerks awake thanks to her alarm and gets ready for the day in her house that is currently being remodeled. Cora is a cop, now detective, and she goes to get coffee and bumps into Assistant DA Finn who is more a tea guy. He congratulates her on her promotion and offers to buy her lunch so they can talk about her new case. She gets to her new case - a jewelry store burglary. As she works with the owner to figure out what's been taken, one item sticks out to her - a necklace that shoots her back into her dream right before she dies. She's wearing the necklace as her boo thing says he'll love her in every lifetime. Boo thing Liam is snagged up by the the bad guys. Suddenly, Liam is zapped to an all white room and these angels give him the run down - he's been in limbo for 200 years. Limbo is closing and he has to earn his place in heaven. How so? Help Cora, who has been reincarnated, end up with her true soul mate - Finn. See, Liam is a thief. He's stolen a lot including Cora who he stole from her fated mate. Now he has a chance to make it right. Suddenly, he's zapped into modern day. He has a badge and he finds out that he's been brought in from Portland by his buddy Chief Boyd who he recognizes from his past life. Body wants him to help out a rookie detective. I wonder who that could be. Liam is very confused by trying to figure things out as he goes until Boyd brings him to the jewelry store and he locks eyes with Detective Cora which is shocking to him because she's a women. She asks if they've met and he says not in this lifetime. We see some flashbacks that show that Liam met Cora when he broke into her fancy family's house. It's pretty clear that in modern time, Finn & Clara are diggin each other, so what can Liam even do? Especially since he gets shock every time they touch. Liam ends up moving into Cora's guest house. What could go wrong? Turns out a ton because before they go to this fundraising dance together, she asks him to zip up her dress. Boy oh boy. We get another flash back to a time that he saw her through a window at a dance. She comes out and tells him that she's betrothed to Finn. She asks what he was going to steal that night he broke in. He looks at her necklace. She gives it to him and they almost kiss but she gets called back in. In this flashback, he comes across a dead body of this dude named John. He believes that this is going to happen again in present day, so he goes to get a ride with a girl, Meredith, who is hot for him despite being married to John, to try to stop the murder. While he's gone, Cora dances with Finn. He takes her home and they're about to kiss and they get a call - there's been a murder. Obviously, Liam and Meredith didn't get there in time mainly because Liam doesn't know how to pump gas. Liam is a suspect because he mysteriously called it in and he was with John's wife at the time, which does seem suspicious. Cora is hurt because she thought they had something but now she knows that he's bad news. Flashback to Liam who goes to talk to Cora. He tells her that he's wanted for murder. She says that they'll run, she'll go with him because she loves him. And then they kiss big ones. Back in present day, Cora is able to clear Liam's name. She tells him that she feels like meeting him was inevitable. She likes him and she wants to find out what "this" could be. She says would you? Fade to...white?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with a guy stumbling around a diner, literally stabbed in the back. Knife sticking out. Eventually, he just falls to the ground. Cut back a bit to to Aurora. Her and boyfriend Daniel, who is the cook at the diner they work at, are talking about going out for their 6 month anniversary. See the dude who got stabbed at the beginning is Aurora's boss, Emilio. Officer Arthur comes into the office carrying a ton of coffee's. He is greeted by Detective Cook and his ex-wife, Larissa, who has been sent to investigate why this precinct's arrest percentage is lower then the national average. Back at the diner, Aurora overhears her boss arguing with this lawyer in his office. Later, Aurora is working hard at the library. She realizes that she left her phone at the diner, so she calls Daniel on the library phone to tell him she's going to be a little late - she has to run grab her phone. When she gets there, she discovers some black beads on the ground. So she turns on the light and finds Emilio, dead on the ground. She goes to run out just as Daniel is conveniently walking it. The cops show up and Officer Arthur and Detective Cook immediately accuse Daniel since it's his fancy knife in the back. Aurora is like no way - Daniel loved Emilio. They never fought. They're like well did you ever see him fight with anyone? Daniel says his ex-wife and he came in earlier in the day. They take Daniel downtown anyway and he's a real suspect. Aurora is really mad that they're treating Daniel like a suspect, so she's going to investigate it herself. That starts by showing up to Emilio's wake to talk to his ex-and their son. It does not go well. Emilio's current girlfriend Kathleen is there as well but they seemed to really love each other. So it definitely wasn't her. Aurora goes to talk to his ex again and sees that her earrings have black beads on it. could be nothing. could be everything. Aurora and Daniel go back to the diner to look some more. Suddenly, Daniel is just gone. The cops show up and Daniel is found unconscious on the ground. He's alive, don't worry. But he does get an envelope full of cash which the police find suspicious. The son becomes a suspect because it turns out they bought a movie ticket just to have an alibi "just in case" which isn't something innocent people do. Except in this case. Because he didn't do it. Ultimately, it turns out it was his business partner that killed him because Kathleen used to be with him and he was jealous. Womp womp. Daniel tells Aurora he's leaving, so I guess that's that. And Officer Arthur is pumped. It's finally his time. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie starts harder than any kids movie has ever started before. The movie? Intense. And we see a little Gordon Bombay get told from his coach that it all comes down to him and losing isn't an option, he proceeds to miss the goal and lose. Cut to present day, Gordon Bombay is now a brash defense attorney that wants to win at all costs. After winning his latest case, he celebrates with some drinking and driving. He gets pulled over and that's not good. This gets back to his boss, Mr. Ducksworth. He puts him on paid leave and tells him he's been given 500 hours of community service coaching pee-wee hockey. Speaking of hockey, we meet the team. A group of rag tag kids who love pranking random people with dog poop. They also love hockey despite the fact that they suck at it. Coach Bombay gets out there and sees the team. They're currently 0-9. He starts by telling them he doesn't like kids. He tells them to scrimmage while he gets on a phone call in his limo. The kids don't scrimmage. Instead, they jump on the limo and begin to shake it. They get inside and demand a ride when Charlie's mom, the mother of one of the kids on the team, shows up, yells at Bombay and makes Charlie come home. Wouldn't you know it, their first game is against the Hawks - Bombay's old team that is still coached by his old coach, Reilly. The Hawks are a legit hockey team. District 5? Not so much. They don't even have the right equipment. They get absolutely destroyed. Convinced that they can't win with their play, Bombay teaches them how to take the fall, act hurt, and get indignant. Charlie's not having and refuses to play by Bombay's silly rules. Bombay, feeling a bit lost, goes to talk to his old mentor Hans who gives him the kick in the pants he needs to remember his love of hockey. He goes to apologize to Charlie and his mom and ends up staying for dinner. He is feeling inspired and convinces Ducksworth to sponsor the team. Bombay is suddenly the greatest coach of all time. They even tie a game. Bombay recruits three new players: siblings Tommy and Tammy Duncan, who are skilled figure skaters, and Fulton Reed, a giant who shoots a puck like a bullet out of a gun. Bombay discovers that due to rezoning, Hawks’ star Adam Banks should be playing for the Ducks, and forces Reilly to transfer him. While arguing with Reilly, Bombay sarcastically says that the kids don't deserve to live. They take that personally for some reason and refuse to play the next game. Ducksworth calls Bombay and tells him he either lets Banks play for the Hawks or he's fired. Bombay says quack quack quack and leaves to go make up with the kids. The Ducks begins to win a lot thanks to their regained trust of Bombay and the addition of Banks, despite the fact that he is a cake-eater. They make it to the championship against the Hawks. The Hawks strike early and go up 3-0. Reilly wants to make sure it's a blow out by ordering his players to take Banks out. Literally puts him on a stretcher. Bombay tells Reilly he's going down and go gives the pep talk of all pep talks. They pull out all the stops. Fulton's big time. Figure skating. The flying V. and finally, when they need it the most, it's the triple deke to win the game. They celebrate by Bombay kissing Charlie's mom in front of everyone which is out of line if you ask me. The movie ends with Bombay boarding a bus to go try out for the minors again, his dream alive again. But promises he'll be back for next season no matter what.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with a couple dancing at a party, having a great time. It's Ben and Cassie and they end up dating. They are heading to rural Oregon to spend Christmas with his family. We meet Ben's sister who is really into vlogging, and their parents, Kirby & Mia. We immediately see that this family is a bit chaotic. They sit down for dinner and other brother Gordon shows up out of nowhere. The energy at this dinner is real weird. And then it comes out that she doesn't eat meat...and he doesn't eat meat either. Gordon begins to grill Cassie about why she's vegetarian and pushes back why it's about the environment. And Ben just kinda sits there and lets it happen. So Cassie is hurt that 1. Ben didn't tell them about being vegetarian and 2. that he'd just let Gordon attack her like that. He's like oh my bad, but look at my funny ho ho ho underwear. Wanna have smex? She does not. She tells him that this isn't working and has known that for a while. So they break up and we're not even 30 minutes in. The next morning, they go to buy her a flight but there's a big storm and there are no flights until after Christmas. The family is finally looped in. It's a whole thing. Ben decides the best way to fix this situation is by calling her best friend and asking for advice. Obviously that information gets back to Cassie which only makes things worse. His dad takes him out to the train tracks to tell him to stop being a dummy and just let her go. Cassie calls her mom and she could not be less helpful. But Ben's mom comes up and comforts her, cuz mom's gonna mom. The next day, she can't stand being in the room by herself anymore so she decides to go out with his family and she ends up having a fun time with everyone except for Ben who she is still giving the cold shoulder to. This gives Ben time to bond with Gordon over lost love. And Cassie ends up getting close to Ben's sister. Ben continues to not learn his lesson and tries to get back together with Cassie. It's Christmas Day and Cassie is thoughtful AF and gives everyone the perfect Christmas gift including some architecture socks for Ben, And then Ben surprises her by giving her a plane ticket home or a rental car to get her to Portland. She stays for lunch and then goes her way. The movie ends sometime later with the sister now going through a breakup and Gordon & Ben are helping her through while Ben wears his socks from Cassie.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Welcome to the township of Gilford. We meet Lindsey Monroe, a city planner who is having to deal with Mayor Fred Barnes' current pressing project: rebuilding the long-gone gazebo in the town square exactly as it was, to be completed in time for the historic Christmas Eve town lighting. You know how it goes. The mayor hired Scott, a Gilford newbie, and someone who literally made me say oh my gosh when he walked on screen. He is tasked with building the gazebo. The problem is there are no records of the old gazebo itself. Lindsey and Scott meet for the first time and it's immediately clear that they are going to clash and fall in love. Lindsey is a widow who gets pretty sad around the holiday season. Her daughter, Hannah is ready to start celebrating Christmas again. So while at this Christmas market thing, she is given some Christmas decorations, including this stocking. When they get it home, they hang up the stocking and it magically falls to the ground. Lindsey reaches inside and finds an old locket. I'm sure it's nothing. Lindsey's mom comes and brings a Christmas tree. Lindsey is not thrilled. The stocking falls again and Hannah picks it up. Feels something in it so she reaches in and it's a dog tag with the word "magic". Hannah is pumped. WE'RE GETTING A DOG!!!!! Her mom is like sorry we're not getting a puppy. A side story is the mayor is very into Lindsey's mom. He is shooting his shot. He is all sorts of thirsty. She's not having it. The next day, she goes to check on Scott and how the gazebo is going. She just wants to get this project done but he wants to make sure it's authentic. He asks her on a date and she says no. But then she's like if you end up showing up to dinner tonight with my family and the mayor, I'm sure no one will mind. But they all ditch them so that they end up having dinner just the 2 of them. When Hannah and her grandma get back to their house, Hannah finds a puppy in their bushes. It's magic and it's meant to be. And the magic keeps coming including grandma getting the numbers exactly correct to the towns coin guessing competition. don't ask. Hannah and grandma are now completely convinced that the stocking is magic. Everything seems to be coming up aces. They even find pictures of the original gazebo. It's going great. Until Hannah sees a flyer for a missing song. She doesn't want to give the dog back but her hands are tied. She has to give it back. But Scott surprises her by getting her a dog named Magic. YOU KIDDIN ME RIGHT NOW?! So Lindsey is really unsure about Scott and the dog and stuff cuz her husband died in a car crash on the way to get a puppy. so that's tough. On her way out of the house to go to the town square, the stocking drops. Inside, a single Christmas light. What does it mean?!?! well when she gets there, she finds out that the Christmas lights are missing one light. She gives it to him and he fixes the light just in case. It works and the town lights up. He gives her the locket that he fixed. And then they kissssss. Cut to one year later. We're back at the Christmas market and they return the magical stocking to the lady and she winks. yay magic, yay us.

He overhears his dad talking about some rumors about the future of the store but he doesn't care. It's basketball time! He's claims he's been working on his shot but his bully Joey isn't having it. To make matters worse, Joey is dating his crush, Diane. After getting humiliated on the court, he forget the bag that he's supposed to deliver for his dad. He heads to the church where his mom is preparing for the pageant and he heads up to the rafters to try to get back at Joey by replacing all of the snow that's gonna fall with water and Joey will get blamed because he's the stage manager. They wake up on Christmas morning and Billy's dad surprises him with a new hoop & ball. His uncle David shows up and he's a fancy pants money man. He tells them that he's building a super mega store in this town and Billy's dad is like that'll put me out of business! David is like you'll be fine, you'll be running the store. They all head to the Christmas pageant and Billy's plan to get back at Joey works but Joey punches him in the eye and David, who had the water fall on him, leaves angry. Worst Christmas ever. His sister comes in to sleep in his room cuz she's scared and they get in an argument about Christmas being the best ever. She wishes it was Christmas every day and she makes him say it with her so that she'll go to sleep. Much to his surprise, he wakes up and it's Christmas again!!! He is so confused. He thinks its just a giant prank, but when he wakes up the next day and it's Christmas again... he's very confused. His parents are concerned about him and get a doctor to check him out but they think it's just puberty. He figures if nothing really matters, he might as well kiss Diane without her consent and Joey punches him in the face. He tries all sorts of different things - trying to make the perfect day, trying to get Diane to fall in love with him, trying to kill his uncle David, and even trying to be a hero by stopping bad stuff from happening around town. He finally decides, you know what, I'm just gonna be kind to everyone. I'm gonna try to give everyone in town the most wonderful Christmas. Ultimately, he figures out that the lesson here is to just love your family and embrace them and in doing so, his uncle remembers how much he loves being back home and decides he wants to come back and work in the store.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Nikki Crandon is a BIG deal pop star and she's working on her upcoming Christmas album, sounding fine I guess. It's Thanksgiving day and Chris is heading over to his parents house for Thanksgiving with his 2 kids and he's feeling pretty sad cuz his wife is dead. His daughter Sophie seems totally fine with the fact that her mom is dead though, so that's good. They turn on the Thanksgiving football game and guess who's singing the national anthem? Nikki Crandon! Chris comes in and sees her on tv and gets weird. Sophie really wants to go see the Nikki Crandon Christmas concert on Christmas Eve and everyone is weird about it so Sophie is like what the heck? He finally tells the truth - they went to high school with Nikki and she was his first love. And it's pretty clear he still has feelings for her. So the kids decide that they're going to sneak off to NYC for a meet and greet and tell her that their dad is still in love with her. At first, Sophie fumbles the opportunity but she turns around on her way out and belts out MY DAD IS CHRIS MARSHALL AND HE IS STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU! Nikki decides to give the kids a ride home and goes to say hi to Chris. And at first, he fumbles the opportunity (like father, like daughter). But before she drives off, he runs out and asks to get dinner. So the next day, she shows up to his basketball game and they go get a burger and it's going fine. The night ends with her asking him why he left her and he said he didn't wanna get in the way of her career taking off. Good enough for her and they kiss big ones.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The president reaches out to thank Ethan and tells him that she wants him to bring her the key because if he gets rid of the Entity by himself, it would destroy cyberspace. So he goes to meet up with Benji and go find Luther in a tunnel to figure out what’s next, where Luther is hanging out with a hospital bed. They discuss that they need to find Gabriel, so that starts by breaking Paris out She tells him to go to London but instead Gabriel captures them and explains to Ethan that retrieving Rabbits Foot actually set off this whole chain reaction. Ethan and Grace escape with Ethan faking his death and then him just going ham on some dudes. They discover a device that Gabriel used to communicate with the Entity, this coffin-looking thing. He gets in and it’s not good. It shows Ethan a vision of a coming nuclear apocalypse. He sees a vision of Luther dying, so he goes to try to stop him but it’s too late. Gabriel put him in a cell with a bomb in it. He has 3 minutes to disarm or London will fall. If he does disarm it, it’ll still explode but smaller so only Luther will die When Ethan gets out of the tunnel, he runs into Briggs who arrests him. Ethan tells him he knows he’s really the son of Jim Phelps. He tells Ethan this isn’t about revenge. It’s about Ethan never following orders and gambling with the fate of the world. He’s taken to Kittridge who tells him it all comes down to this. They have less than 4 days to stop the Entity before it has the entire world’s nuclear weapons. He’s taken into a room and President Sloan shows up. He says he needs the key and a plane. It’s the only way he can destroy the Entity. The Entity is betting on you not trusting me She finally gives in, gives him the key, and card that he’ll know what to do with it when the time comes. Ethan's team travels to St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea, home to a Cold War–era sonar array that detected the Sevastopol's sinking. They locate former CIA analyst William Donloe, who was exiled to the island decades earlier after a break-in at CIA headquarters. They’re supposed to share on a frequency where Ethan is supposed to go. But they have visitors. Ethan can’t wait anymore, so he just jumps in the ocean. Luckily, divers from the USS Ohio were waiting for him and they take him down to the sub. Donloe admits that he wrote down the coordinates. He sends his wife out to the barn to “tend to the dogs” with Grace while he sends the coordinates then a fight and fire break out with the Russians. They successful get the USS Ohio the coordinates. The captain of the USS Ohio explains they can’t stick around cuz of the Russians. Ethan says their chamber was never apart of the plan. Luckily, Grace is given a chamber from Donloe’s wife. Ethan makes it down to the submarine and it’s not going great because it’s on the edge of a cliff and it keeps moving which is tough. He is able to get the source code, but he has to escape through a torpedo tunnel which is too tight, so he has to take off the suit and then take off the mask. He makes it to the top but he’s unconscious. Grace finds him and is able to cpr him back to life. She lays with him in the chamber until he wakes up. Grace tells Ethan that she thinks he should control the Entity. He says no one can be trusted with this much power. Now reunited with his team, they work on the next plan. Ethan outlines his plan to use the Poison Pill that Luther made before he died that is now in the hands of Gabriel. They would then upload and isolate the Entity on a physical drive, trapping it from the outside world. Ethan suspects Gabriel is already waiting at the South African bunker with the Poison Pill, aiming to seize control of the Entity by forcing Ethan to surrender the module. But that’s what Ethan is banking on. The president is running out of time and her team is trying to convince her to use their nucular bombs before it’s too late. Ethan prepares to enter the tunnel, expecting Gabriel to be there and fully ready to let Gabriel kill him for the sake of the plan. Gabriel is indeed there and reveals another nuclear device with a twenty-minute countdown, demanding the module. Ethan agrees, but the handover is interrupted by Kittridge & Briggs who wants the U.S. to control the Entity. The bomb is activated when they show up which is unfortunate. Ethan explains they need to give the module to Gabriel. A gunfight transpires with Gabriel’s team and he is able to flee and Benji is shot but Ethan doesn’t know it. Ethan gets to a vehicle to chase Gabriel but it crashes so he has to run to catch up. He’s late but he is able to grab onto a trailing plane which catches up to Gabriel’s plane. He jumps off his and onto Gabriel’s. Paris performs emergency surgery on Benji as he guides Grace to reboot the bunker systems to trap the Entity while Donloe works to disarm the bomb. Right as the president is about to press the button to make the attack, she decides to rather take our weapons offline but she’s too late. The Entity takes control. Ethan finds a second parachute, escapes with the Poison Pill, and unites it with the module, allowing Grace to finish the upload. Kittridge and CIA agent Jasper Briggs find Ethan; Kittridge is frustrated when Ethan hands over the destroyed module of the Sevastopol while Briggs — who is revealed to be James Phelps Jr., the son of Ethan's original team leader Jim Phelps — makes peace with him. The IMF team reunites in London, where Grace gives Ethan the Entity, now safely isolated on the drive, and the team goes their separate ways.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH We meet this neat two-piece key being put together to make one key. We're on a Russian submarine and they have this AI system called The Entity that'll help them evade their enemy. But while testing one day, the AI becomes sentient and makes them think someone is attacking them. Turns out, no one is and they end up getting struck by their own torpedo. The key is now split up and floated up to the surface. We then catch up with Ethan Hunt who is given his new mission: get both pieces of the key, one of which has already been obtained by Ilsa. So he has to get the one half from Ilsa, and then track down the other one. So he heads to a desert and tracks her down. He gets the key and tells her that she's dead. Ethan then sneaks into a meeting to hear Kittridge, who is randomly back, explain that the Entity can manipulate cyberspace to control global defense intelligence and financial networks. He tells them that Ethan Hunt was on the case but we don't know where he is. Well, we do. He's in the room in a mask. He tells Kittridge that he refuses to give the half key to Kittridge but tells him he's going to find the other half and destory the Entity. Ethan meets up with Benji and Luther and the travel to Abu Dhabi to intercept the buyer of the other half of the key. Ethan's plan was to sell their half of the key to the buyer, and then follow the buyer to figure out what it unlocks. Ethan locates the buyer but the key is stolen by a professional thief named Grace. Ethan confronts Grace and offers to put the key back in the buyer's pocket in exchange for a generous payment of $4 million. But by the time they get back to the buyer, he's dead and then we find out that the key they have is actually a counterfeit. While Ethan was distracted but Luther and Benji disarming a weapon, Grace steals the real key from Ethan. Ethan suspects foul play after seeing Gabriel, a powerful terrorist who appears to be working with the Entity. He and Ethan had an encounter with each other prior to Ethan becoming an IMF agent. So, he aborts the mission and the team scatters. Grace escapes to Rome but is apprehended. Ethan helps her escape but now they're both being chased - there's an Entity operative named Paris and then there's a US agent Jasper Briggs. Paris and Briggs get into a shootout which gives Ethan and Grace enough time to escape. Ethan meets back up with Luther and Benji and Ilsa joins them. Ethan and Ilsa follow Grace to Venice where they go to a party held by the the White Widow. Luther had figured out by analyzing the video feed from the airport that Gabriel is working for the Entity. Ilsa says that Gabriel is the Entity's messenger and that the key leads to the Entity's source code. So the party is poppin. White Widow, Gabriel, Paris, Ethan, Grace, Ilsa... they gather at the party. Ethan realizes that the party was organized by the Entity as well. Ethan knows that White Widow is trying to get the key but doesn't want to keep the key for herself since she does not know what it unlocks. She cannot decide whether to give the key to her friend Ethan, or to Gabriel. Tapped into the Entity, Gabriel proclaims he will possess the completed key the next day and that either Ilsa or Grace will die. While Ethan is attempting to convince the White Widow to not give the key to Gabriel, Gabriel escapes. The Entity leads Grace and Isla to Gabriel. Gabriel knocks out Grace and kills Ilsa, devastating Ethan. Grace agrees to impersonate the White Widow and take the key during the sale on the train the next day. Ethan needs to figure out how he's going to get on that train to keep Grace safe. The next day, on the train, Gabriel kills the engine crew and destroys the throttle and brake. Grace finds the White Widow, knocks her out, and then goes to meet with Kittridge who is the buyer. Paris & Gabriel meets Director of National Intelligence Denlinger, who divulges all the information he has about the entity and how it went rogue. He explains that inside the submarine is a chamber that only the the completed key can unlock with the original Entity source code which would allow the holder to destroy or control The Entity. Now that he has all the information, Gabriel kills him. Kittridge agrees to the White Widow Grace's deal of $100 million and protection. But she ends up pickpocketing the key completed key from Kittridge. So how is Ethan going to get on the train and save the day? Well, Benji navigates him to the top of this mountain where he ride his motocycle off of it and parachutes onto the train. Grace takes off the mask and tries to escape but it's too late. She's about to be shot but Ethan comes crashing through the side of the train and saves her. But the key goes on the floor and is picked up by Gabriel. He goes to the top of the train and Ethan follows him. They begin to fight but Gabriel escapes and sets off an explosion to the bridge that's coming up. But Ethan manages to steal the key back from him without him noticing. Grace and Ethan detach the locomotive from the rest of the train which saves the passengers. But they aren't safe yet. They have to fight their way to the back of the train as more and more of the train continues to fall off the cliff. Right as they're about to fall, Paris shows up and pulls them to safety. She tells Ethan where to take the key and then passes out from a stab wound. Ethan has to leave and can't take Grace with him. Grace agrees to work with Kittridge and Ethan lands and is joined by Benji now that their next mission is to successfully destroy the Entity.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with Ethan having a dream where he's getting married to Julia but Lane is the officiant and then there's an explosion. He wakes up to a knock at the door. He is given a package with his new mission. Apparently, the remains of "The Syndicate" have reformed into a terrorist group known as "The Apostles". They are responsible for a smallpox outbreak. It's serious stuff. Ethan is told to intercept three stolen plutonium cores before the Apostles can sell them to a baddie named John Lark. It appears John Lark and the Apostles are working together to acquire what they need for nuclear weapons. So Ethan meets up with Benji and Luther for the mission. He arranges to buy the plutonium from some baddies. But they fail when the Apostles hijack the exchange and Ethan chooses to save Luther's life and the plutonium is taken by the Apostles. The team capture nuclear weapons expert Nils. They keep Nils in a simulated hospital and run news reels on TV indicating that 3 nuclear attacks have already taken place. Nils agrees to give the pass-code to his phone, if the news reads his manifesto on TV. Turns out, all fake but it's too late, they already have what they need. We meet the new CIA Director Erica Sloane, she instructs operative August Walker to shadow Ethan as he attempts to retrieve the plutonium because she doesn't trust the IMF to do the job. They believe Lark is going to be at this party in Paris. So Ethan and Walker have to parachute in, which is harder than it sounds. Walker almost dies but not on Ethan Hunt's watch! They track a man whom they suspect to be Lark. They end up getting in a big fight but dude ends up getting shot by...Ilsa! Ilsa is back baby! She does not tell Ethan who sent her. This is bad news because this dude is supposed to meeting with an arms dealer named the White Widow. Hunt can't finish the mask of Lark's face as Isla shot at the head, so Ethan decides to be Lark without a disguise. Ethan impersonates Lark and meets the White Widow. He warns her that agents of the Apostles have been sent to kill her and he's able to help her escape when they show up, with a little help from Ilsa. White Widow tells Ethan that if he wants the plutoneum, he has to help Lane escape during his transfer in an armored convoy. They say they have to kill everyone. Ethan is like I'm John Lark, I'll kill anyone anytime. Walker hears this and tells Director Sloane that he thinks it's possible Hunt really is Lark. Ethan and Walker attack Lane's convoy but they do it in a way that avoids having to kill the police. Ethen pushes Lane's escort van into the river. He then leads the police and the White Widow's men on a chase across Paris while Benji and Luther secure Lane. He is able to jump down into a boat where Luther and Benji have Lane. Ilsa reappears to kill Lane to show MI6 that she's loyal but the car is bullet proof. He takes Lane to White Window. But then White Widow tells him that she wants him to bring the women who killed 4 of her men, obviously talking about Ilsa. Hunt meets Ilsa and realizes that she was in Paris to protect Lark, and in the washroom, she killed whom she thought was Lark, to protect Hunt. Ilsa wanted Lark to break Lane out, as she wanted to kill Lane. Hunt realizes that Ilsa is working for the MI6, and they want her to prove her loyalty. Hunley shows up and confronts Ethan about being John Lark. Ethan denies it and injects him with something to knock him out to continue the mission. He suspects that Walker is the real John Lark so they hatch a plan for him to go in and confront Lane knowing that he would admit to it. Obviously, it's not really Lane, it's Benji in a mask. I guess Hunley has come to and this is enough for him. He phones Director Sloan who instructs a CIA unit to detain everyone because she doesn't trust any of them. The CIA unit has been compromised by Walker and he orders them to attack Hunley and his IMF men instead. Walker kills Hunley and escapes. So Ethan chases him across the city. He's jumping from building to building, doing his Tom Cruise run. He finally catches up with him and Walker tells him he has to turn himself into Lane or he's going to kill Julia, and shows a picture of him knowing where she is. Ethan gets back with Benji, Luther, and Ilsa and Ethan explains that he believes they're going to go ahead and detonate the nuclear weapons over some water that'll infect a ton of people. Luckily, they know where Lane is because they put a tracker in him. When they show up at this medical camp, he sees Julia. Apparently, Walker arranged her for and her husband, Doctor Eric, to be there. Lane activates the weapons and gives the detonator to Walker, which they need to get in order to diffuse the bombs. Walker goes up in a helicopter which naturally Ethan jumps onto and climbs his way up while it's in the air. Ethan is able to take control of the helicopter that's trailing Walker. Luther, Benji, and Ilsa are looking for the bombs and Julia finds Luther and wants to help. Ilsa ends up being held captive by Lane in the room with the 2nd explosive. Benji shows up and tries to help and they all get in a big fight. She's about to kill Lane but notices that Benji is about to die himself, so she saves him and they tie Lane up. While all that's happening, the helicopter chase doesn't end great. They crash and end up on the edge of a cliff. Ethan and Walker fight over to the detonator. They both fall off the cliff but they grab onto a rope. Ethan puts his rock climbing skills back to work as the helicopter comes down and kills Walker. Ethan rushes to climb up to the top just in time to press the button as the other cut the wires. Perfect timing. Ethan is rescued and brought back to Julia and her husband where they help him come to. He apologizes to Julia for everything.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Liara is about to get married to Kyle. A simple eloping at city hall so they can put all their money towards her dream house & their honeymoon to Italy. Kyle comes in to say I'm not going to Italy with you....I'm going to Thailand! He just needs a month or two. Also, he quit his job. I don't think it's gonna work out. They're donezo so she goes to talk to her mom. Her mom tells her that she should still go to Italy. It's her dream trip. So she goes and the trip starts a little rocky with the honeymoon suite still being decked out for a honeymoon. But that's nothing some sightseeing can't fix. She's talking to her mom constantly, throwing coins in a well which promises that she'll end up getting married in Italy. And it doesn't take long. She ends up meeting Leo. She tries his pastry, they talk about her marrying his grandma, and encourages her to go visit her bakery in Capena which happens to be where her parents met. So instead of getting on her flight home, she hops on a bus to Capena. As she's walking down the street, she sees an picture of a villa for sale for 1 euro - it's a villa that her parents took a picture in front of when they visited. So she buys it, not with any real plans to move there but more like a symbolic gesture. While walking there, Leo drives past her and offers to give her a drive. He gives her some bad news - there is fine print. She has to start renovating the house quickly and be done within a year but you also have to leave the country in 90 days and be gone for at least 90 days or else you're going to get fined big time. Luckily for her, Leo is a handyman. He says he's too busy but we all know he'll be back. He keeps getting incredibly stressed out whenever his dad calls but we're not sure what that's about. They get to work and begin to hang out outside of the renovations, as well. She even joins him to watch some football which is big fun, especially when they hug and he spins her. The sparks are flying. And the house is actually starting to turn around a bit. But one day, a step on her ladder breaks and she falls. She's real sad. He shows up and picks her up, kicks open the gate, puts her in his truck, helps her calm down. And he takes her to his place to take a nice warm shower. He gets her a dress and they go out to dinner together and he opens up about how he graduated from Harvard and his dad was so proud of him but he was miserable, so he came to Italy and never left. He takes her back to her place and her electricity is on and she just starts talking about how she loves it here and loves her villa and loves him! whoa whoa whoa. A couple days later, they're enjoying some time together and they end up kissinggggg. Things are really looking up for the two love birds until Kyle shows up one day. She tells him to GET LOST! But her time is up. She has to leave the country tomorrow. And this hotel chain guy comes by to make her an offer on the house with plans of turning it into an AirBnB. Leo asks her what she wants to do and she says she thinks Chicago is her home but she'll come back to visit. That's not good enough for him and he leaves. She gets the offer and decides that she doesn't want to take it. And the good news is she finds out that she doesn't have to leave. She tells Leo that she wants to finish renovating it and they can rent it as an AirBnb themselves. Her mom finally comes to check out the place and is blown away. And Leo and Liara celebrate with kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH So Benji is out in the literal field. He's watching this plane that is about to take off. And here's what you need to know - the package is on that plane. He's doing this mission with Brandt who is back at HQ. Luther pipes in cuz I guess he can help now and he makes it to where Benji can access the plane remotely. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Ethan comes running through the field and tells Benji to open the door. Once Benji figures out which door he means, he finds these canisters holding nerve gas and pushes them out the back. THEME SONG TIME! Some time later, Ethan walks into a record store where he uses some coded language to get a vinyl which will show him his next mission. While the message is playing, it is revealed that the message is from The Syndicate which is a group Ethan has been tracking for a year. They tell him that if he continues to go after them, he will die. He looks out and sees a dude in glasses who kills the women who gave him the record as gas causes Ethan to go unconcious. Cut to a senate meeting with Brandt and CIA director Alan Hunley. They demand that the IMF be disbanded due to the events that happened in Russia. We see that Ethan is being held hostage. A women comes in, takes off her shoes, and just kinda stares at him for a while. Then some baddies come in, one of which is known as the Bone Doctor. Just as he's about to do his thing, he is freed by the women. She's Ilsa Faust, an undercover British MI6 agent. But she doesn't leave with him. She convinces them that she was trying to help them as he escaped. He calls Brandt for help but he says the IMF have been shut down. Ethan now knows he's on his own and that the CIA is going to be looking for him. 6 months later, we see Ethan in a room, He's got a very real beard. And he's just doing some pull ups. The CIA thinks they found him but Ethan is always one step ahead. Ethan is watching them with the finest Nokia cell phone. And CIA Director Hunley is not pleased. He brings Benji in for a polygraph test but Benji insists that he doens't owe Ethan anything and that they aren't friends. When Benji returns to his desk, he has two tickets to the Vienna opera. So he heads to Austria and he is immediately handed a envelope. Inside are some glasses that allow him and Ethan to communicate. Ethan catches him up to speed. He believe that Lane is going to be at the Opera. Who is Lane? He is the glasses dude that Ethan suspects is the Syndicate's leader. Benji and Ethan discover that the opera is being attended by the Austrian Chancellor which does throw a wrench in the plan. Benji is watching the cameras and sees the potential assassin. Ethan also notices a woman moving around the backstage. Ethan catches up with the assassin and they fight, but then Ethan notices a 3rd assassin moving into position. There's a lot of assassin's at the opera tonight. He takes the gun of the first assassin and shoots the Chancellor in the shoulder to save his life. Benji attacks the 3rd shooter in the lighting booth, and the women, who turns out to be Ilsa from the beginning shoots that baddie to save Benji. Ethan finds Ilsa and they escape in time to see the Chancellor's car explode. Hunt helps Ilsa escape the opera. Ilsa jumps out of Ethan's car to make it look like an escape and then is taken to Lane. It appears she's working with him when he questions her loyalty for letting Ethan escape twice. Ethan figures out that Ilsa is going to Moracco, so he goes to meet up with her and she tells him what she knows - that the baddie is Soloman Lane who used to be British Intellegence and went rogue and started the Syndicate. She claims that Lane kept a ledger of all his operatives which was stolen by one of his operatives and placed in a secure server here in Moracco. The secure server can only be accessed if your profile is already preloaded into the security system that is housed under water. So Ethan dives in and it doesn't exactly go according to plan. He does swap out the security profile but isn't able to escape before running out of oxygen. So Ilsa jumps in and saves him. But then proceeds to take the flash drive with the ledger on it to take to her British intelligence boss who says this isn't good enough. She needs to go back to Lane so that he can confirm that thats the real ledger. So she shows back up to Lane but the flash drive has been wiped clean. We catch up with Benji and Ethan who are found by Luther and Brandt. Turns out, Benji made a copy of the flash drive and it turns out it contains an encrypted British government virtual red box that requires the biometrics of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to unlock it. They all travel to London, but Lane's men abduct Benji during the team's meeting and use him to blackmail Ethan into decrypting and delivering the data to him. Despite Brandt's protests, Ethan accepts the mission. Hunley is informed by Brandt to come to London. He shows up to a meeting with Brandt and the Prime Minister. Atlee is also there and has the Prime Minister confirm that the Syndicate is real which is a suprise to Hunley. Atlee then shoots the prime minister with a dart and reveals that Atlee is actually Ethan in a mask. The real Atlee shows up and confirms that he started the Syndicate to recruit former intelligence agents and perform missions without oversight and zero accountability but Lane went rogue. Hunley is like oh my bad. I done goofed. Ethan and Brandt secure the Prime Minister's biometrics, allowing Luther to decrypt the file. When decrypting the file, it is revealed that the red box actually contains access to £2.4 billion to do with what The Syndicate saw fit. Ethan destroys the data after deducing that Lane plans to fund The Syndicate with the money. Arriving at the meeting place arranged by Lane, Ethan finds Benji strapped to a bomb and wearing a headset and contact lens camera to serve as Lane's proxy alongside Faust. Ethan tells Lane that he has memorized the data and offers himself in exchange for Benji's safety. Benji escapes after Lane remotely disarms the bomb and Ilsa and Ethan run through the city when the Bone Doctor and his boys show back up. Ilsa makes the Bone Doctor follow her and she kills him. And Ethan draws Lane out, who has now joined the chase, and lures him into a tunnel system where he ends up in a transparent bulletproof cell where he is gassed, like he did to Ethan at the beginning of the film and taken into custody. Hunley goes to speak to the Senate again and claims that their previous meeting served as a cover to help Ethan expose and shut down The Syndicate and he's now requesting the IMF be reinstated.

She agrees to give it a shot and Grace is going to drum for her. After their first practice, Jessica and Jack are talking and they almost kiss but he stops her and is like I have a girlfriend and there's also another reason. Before he can expand on that though, they find out that grandpa has collapsed. He's ok though. The event goes as planned and it goes really well until Veronica shows up and yells at Jack about how he's a liar. Jessica overhears all of this and gets mad and leaves. To make matters worse, Grace also finds out that her dad is a liar.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Erica is busy working on her first novel with her name on it and it's harder than she thought it would be now that its her name on the cover. Nico and her have been dating for 5 months and he proposes! She says yes! And Anna surprises Erica by being there for it! But she can't stay long because she's off to Spain to eat some food and review it for her blog which has really taken off. She finds out about this spice, Saffron. She tries to find out what it is but it's a secret. She meets a man named Javier whose family runs the saffron farm and he refuses her request for an interview. His family isn’t in it for the fame and the hype, and their methods are a well-kept secret. Despite that, he and Anna hit it off when they end up sitting together at a restaurant. After dinner, she's like I could talk to you all night and he's like well why don't we? They get ice cream, he holds her hand, and he says he wishes he could grant access for an interview but his family is kinda mad at him right now but won't say why. She's like I don't want to talk about that right now. Instead, they jus KISS! IT's like before the first commercial break. I don't really know what to do with that info. The next day, she gets a call from her agent and she tells her that there's this big magazine that is potentially interested in hiring her for their international food reviews. All she has to do is write about something that no one has ever written about before and submit it. No big deal. She decides she's gonna go to Portugal to find something but her car battery dies. Anna’s car breaks down right outside Javier’s village the next day, and he offers her a bed to sleep in until the car can be charged. Typically, you wouldn't think that to be a big deal, but when her family discovers that there is a random women in the family guest room. Things go nuts! Javier explains that the day he met Anna, he was supposed to be meeting with a matchmaker who was going to set him up with a wife because he’s not allowed to inherit his family farm until he’s married. Standard. Javier only has until the next harvest to get married, or else he loses his claim to the farm. There's a lot of rules here. So, naturally they assume that she is his fiancée. So they make an agreement - she’ll stay and live there through the harvest pretending to be his fiancée, if he’ll let her write an article about his family farm for her website. Erica ends up showing up still thinking Anna’s broken-down car needs help, and she’s pulled into the ruse too. Anna starts to really enjoy living with Javier’s family though – she has no family of her own back home – and starts to wish it was all real. And Erica starts to be inspired as well by Javier's family and is using them as inspiration for her book. Ultimately, everything comes out and it's a whole thing and Erica and Anna end up getting in a fight. They end up making up and we see Erica get married. And Anna and Javier make ip and the family gives her the ok to publish the story and they decide to give the relationship a real start and they kiss.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with an IMF agent running on a roof, shooting back at people. He jumps off and lands on a inflatable and somehow doesn't stick around to jump on it. He spots his target but it's too late - she shoots him first. Tough break. Cut to Ethan Hunt. He's in a Moscow prison. Suddenly, Dean Martin begins to play over the loud speaker and his cell is unlocked. It's all Benji. He's outside in a truck watching on the camera. For some reason, Ethan doesn't go through the next open door. Instead, he goes to free someone and take him with him and Benji and very confused. But it works. They get to the room, the floor explodes and they escape. Ethan knew that dude was his informer would be tortured and killed, so he rescued him and granted him his freedom. Jane is new and she tells Ethan that guy at the beginning of the movie was Agent Hanaway and he was killed while intercepting a routine courier drop. The courier was carrying Russian nuclear launch codes & these were now in the hands of the assassin that killed him. Hunt knows that IMF has been looking for an extremist, code name Cobalt. Cobalt is known to have a nuclear device and with the theft of the launch codes, his identity is now top priority for the IMF. Cobalt was a nuclear strategist for Russian intelligence. So Ethan has to go to Russia to break into the secret Kremlin archives and locate files identifying Cobalt. Easy right? Well apparently Cobalt is already on his way to the Kremlin, which gives Ethan 5 hours to complete his mission. This mission is going great but when he gets to the archives, he finds out that what he needs is already missing. Then someone taps into the IMF frequency and their cover is blown. So Ethan aborts the mission. Suddenly, a bomb destroys the Kremlin which knocks Ethan out and he awkes up in a Russian hospital. He finds out that he is now a wanted man, so he has to escape. The IMF picks Ethan up and catch him up to speed but their vehicle is attacked. One dude dies but another dude named William Brandt survives with Ethan. He finds out that the Russians have called the attack an undeclared act of war and the US president activates "Ghost Protocol", which disavows the entire IMF. Based on Ethan's description of who he saw in the Kremlin with a briefcase, they identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks. They believe Hendricks bombed the Kremlin and got the Russian nuclear launch-control device, and now needs its codes from the Dubai. So off to Dubai they go! Ethan has to hack the server room. Obviously the only way to do that is from the outside with him using these special gloves hundreds of stories in the air. The plan is to make Wistrom, who is there on Hendricks behalf, believe he is getting the real codes, which are actually from Ethan and Brandt who are with the actual real codes in another room acting like they're the buyers. It's a whole thing. The plan is going great until the code women realizes that Brandt is taking pictures with his eyes. Wistom is getting away, so Ethan chases him into a sand storm. Turns out, Wistom is just Hendricks in a mask and he gets away! This is bad news. The team is all mad at each other. Hendricks got away and Jane accidentally kicked the seller out of a window. Whoops. It's at this point that Ethan accuses Brandt of keeping secrets from them because his fighting skills show that he's not just an analyst. Brandt admits he used to be an agent on the field. He was actually security detail to Ethan and his wife Julia. Julia was killed by a Serbian hit squad, prompting Ethan to pursue and kill them before he was caught by the Russians and sent to prison, where he was at the beginning of the movie. Brandt blames himself and never wanted to be out on the field again. They get word on where Henricks is going to be next. So off to Mumbai they go. They go to a party being thrown by Indian telecommunications guru. They believe he has struck a deal with Henricks and that he's going to use his sattelite. So Brandt breaks into the server room to take the satellite offline while Jane gets hot shot tech guy to reveal the satellite override code. But Hendricks takes the servers offline before they can finish the plan. He fires a nuclear missile on San Francisco from a Russian submarine which would look like retaliation for the Kremlim bombing. The only way to stop the missile is via the abort sequence on the launch device that Hendricks is carrying. Hunt pursues Hendricks and the launch device while the other team-members attempt to bring the broadcast station back online so that the abort command will transmit. Hunt and Hendricks fight over the launch-control and he's able to hit the button and the power turns back on with 1 second to spare. No Nuclear war today! Plus, the IMF is proved innocent. The team comes together to celebrate and he gives them all a new mission. Brandt refuses at first until Ethan explains that Julia isn't actually dead, it was all a cover, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Off to the next mission they go.

One of the reindeer, Robin, gets sick and has to stay home. The elves come running out just in time and Santa opens up the letter. It is from a little girl, The Princesss of Hearts, in Wonderland who is hoping Santa will finally visit them this year. He decides that they're going to visit Wonderland first. The reindeer aren't having it. They've read the book. Wonderland is mad! Santa reminds them that he's Santa and everyone deserves a gift! Robin realizes that Santa left the reindeer SOS button behind, so they fly off. We head to Wonderland and we find out that some of the folks in Wonderland secretly celebrate Christmas but hide it from the Queen because she's outlawed Christmas. She heads off to sleep just as Santa lands on the roof. Her cat hears some commotion on the roof and won't stand for it. So they go invisible mode, sneaks downstairs and knocks over a lamp to wake the Queen up. She comes downstairs and finds Santa and she says OFF WITH HIS HEAD! He runs off and she fall out the window.

They go to enjoy some tea and treats with the Mad Hatter. But the Queen isn't too far behind. We find out that the Queen tried to send a letter to Santa when she was a kid, but the White Rabbit goofed on getting it to the mailbox in one piece. Since Santa never came to Wonderland, she began to hate Christmas. she catches up with Santa and he is put on trial. It's in the trial that the Queen finds out that St. Nick has only just now discovered her letter. Via song, we find out all she really wanted was a bandersnatch. She gives it some thought and decides to give St. Nick one last chance to give her the bandersnatch she's always wanted. But Santa and the gang took some of the shrinking juice to escape from jail. When Queen gets to the jail, she finds it empty and gets real sad. She tracks Santa down and he gives her the gift and it's coal. He explains that's what happens to a gift if you haven't been nice. The only way to get the gift is to be kind. So she decides to let Alice go but keep Santa in jail until the gift turns back. Alice helps the Queen learn how to be kind again. She finds Santa and tells him to give the gift to someone who deserves it and they all enjoy tea together.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH We see Erica walking around the streets of Barcelona, speaking Spanish no problem. Cut to Anna who is the author of a book that is absolutely flopping. It's a book about falling in love in Barcelona. For some reason, though, the book is flopping everywhere except for Barcelona. Erica walks into her favorite book store and is talking to the owner, Nico. He tells her about this book that is selling like crazy and calls it the best book he's ever read. He tells her that he's trying to get the author to come to do a reading at the store. He calls her his literary crush. The problem here is that Erica actually translated the book and actually made some changes to the book without the author's permission and made the book better which is why it's selling so well in Barcelona. But per her contract with the publisher, she can't disclose to anyone that she translated the book, much less made any changes to it. But it doesn't take too long for Anna to figure out what Erica did once Nico starts talking about all of his favorite parts of the book and Anna has no idea what he's talking about. Nico asks Anna if she would be willing to write a short story and she agrees and then tries to convince Erica to help her with it so that she can impress Nico more because she's liking him. So Erica is in a tough spot here because she's liked Nico for a long time. So Anna begins to explore Barcelona, especially the food, to become inspired for her book. And obviously hanging out with Nico a ton. The problem is Anna just can't write anything - she just wants to write food reviews. They work together to write this short story and Erica sees that Anna is working on a food review website. They get into an argument about Nico and all is lost. But Anna shows up and does a reading of her book and she realize how beautiful the words Erica wrote are, so she finally tells that Erica really wrote the book. Nico realizes that she’s the one he loves and they kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off mid stand off. This dude is asking Ethan for the Rabbit's Foot. Ethan is like I gave you to the Rabbit's Foot. He's like you have until the count of 10 or I kill your boo thang over here. There's yelling. It's serious. Ethan is like I'll help you find the Rabbit's Foot but you gotta let her go. Dude says 10 and it cuts to the Mission Impossible music, back to form! Cut back a bit. Ethan is just living a normal life and he is engaged to a women named Julia. She's not Nyla and we'll never hear from her again. We're at their engagement party when Ethan get's a call. He knows it means to meet at the gas station, so he goes to "get ice". At the gas station, he sees his buddy John from the IMF. He tells him about a mission to rescue one of Ethan's proteges, Lindsey Farris, who was captured while investigating arms dealer Owen Davian, who is the guy from the beginning of the movie. Normally IMF would disavow captured agents, but Farris may be their only clue to get to Davian who is a high priority for the IMF. After a night of sleep, Ethan decides he in. He's met by his old pal Luther and a couple of other folks. They raid the warehouse where Lindsey is. She tells Ethan that she needs to talk to him but there's no time. They get to the helicopter and Lindsey begins to complain about serious pain in her head. Ethan uses his fancy head scanner and discovers a micro-explosive implanted in Lindsey's head. He tells her he needs to use a defibrillator to disable the decide. But before they can charge it, it goes off and she dies. When he gets back to the IMF, he is in big trouble. IMF director Theodore Brassel tells him that he's lucky to even be alive now. Ethan finds out that IMF technician Benji Dunn recovers enough from the damaged laptops that they took from the warehouse. He finds out that Davian is gonna be at the Vatican City to get the "Rabbit's Foot", something he's planning to sell for 850 million dollar. So Ethan once again has to tell Julia that he's gotta travel for work. Before leaving, he and Julia have an impromptu wedding at the hospital's chapel and then kiss big ones! And off he goes to infiltrate the Vatican City and capture Davian. The plan goes perfectly, complete with masks, switch em up, it's a whole thing. And they all escape on a boat. It's a perfect plan. They even make everyone think that Davian died in a car explosion. On the flight back, Davian wakes up and immediately threatens to kill Ethan and his wife. This makes Ethan very mad and when Davian won't share where the Rabbit's Foot is and who his buyer is, he dangles Davian out the plane. After landing, Ethan learns of a video of Lindsey warning that she believes IMF Director Brassel is working with Davian. Just then, the convoy that has Davian is suddenly attacked and Davian escapes. Ethan is able to get his hands on the briefcase though that contains the location of the Rabbit's Foot. Ethan is very concerned about Julia. So he rushes to the hospital to warn her but it's too late. Davian calls Ethan to give him 48 hours to recover the Rabbit's Foot for Julia's life, but then Ethan is captured by IMF. Brassel holds him there and calls him a rogue agent. His buddy Agent John Musgrave from the beginning comes in to "question him" but really is there to mouth instruction for how to escape and get to the Rabbit's Foot's location and gives him a knife to help him escape. Armed with a delightful disguise, Ethan hops on a plane to Shanghai and meets his team, which Musgrave sent there under the guise of another operation. Ethan and his team raid the building where the Rabbit's Foot is secured and tell Davian that they have the Rabbit's Foot. Ethan goes to deliver the Rabbit's Foot with almost no time to spare. Davian tells him to arrive alone. He tags the Rabbit's Foot and send the info to Musgrave so he can track it. He is forced to show up alone with the Rabbit's foot. He is then given a liquid to drink that knocks him out. When he wakes up, he is injected with the same micro-explosive Lindsey had in her head. Suddenly, we're back to the beginning with Davian questioning where the Rabbit's Foot is which Ethan is confused by because he had it in his hand when he drank that stuff. It's not good enough for Davian and he shoots and kills Julia. Musgrave then walks in. Turns out, it wasn't really Julia. It was Davian's head of security in a Julia mask. They put a Julia mask on her to force Ethan to tell the truth about what he brought. Musgrave reveals himself as the mole, not Brassel. He explains to Ethan that all of this is to get the US to attack the middle east in order to make sure they don't use the Rabbit's Foot. But Musgrave knows about Lindsey's message. He demands to know what it was. Ethan won't tell him. So he calls up to show that he does indeed have Julie captive. Ethan bites his hand. He calls Benji and asks him to track where the last call from Musgrave's phone was to. Benji gives him the info despite Ethan being a wanted man. He stays on the phone with him and leads him through Shanghai to get him to Julia. Unfortunately, Davian is also there. He tells Ethan he's going to kill Julia in front of him. But Ethan fights back, pushes him out onto the road, rolls Davian on top of him so he gets hit by a truck that passes over Ethan perfectly. He runs back to free Julia but Ethan has that micro-explosive in his head. He stumbles around trying to find a defibrillator. So he makes a handmade one, teaches Julia how to use a gun, asks her to exlectrocute him and bring him back to life. She proceedes to do all of that perfectly, including killing Musgrave. She punches Ethan in the chest until he comes back. He explains to Julia who he really is and brings Brassel the Rabbit's Foot. Brassel tries to convince him to stay on but all Ethan says is "I'll send you a postcard." The whole office cheers as Ethan and Julia walk off together.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Daisy Lu is an aspiring graphic designer and a big fan of dogs. She wants to start her own business and adopt a dog but all she can handle right now is to foster. She works at her best friends coffee shop that also helps get dogs adopted from the local shelter. She finds out that Jace James is moving back into town and she does not like Jace James. Well, she used to like Jace James. He makes furniture and had a show with his girlfriend where they would do interior design for the stars but they've broken up. But he used to live here and he had ideals that Daisy believes he's abandoned. As she's ranting about Jace James, he walks up behind her and overhears it. He's like "it's good to be home". He decides he wants to adopt the dog that Daisy has been fostering named Patches. She decides to pitch helping Jace like market a new image for himself and then they can enter that rebranding into this design expo that has a 50k cash prize? I dunno man. She keeps showing up. At first, it's to help him get used to having a dog. But then it's to help give him pointers on how to interior design his house. Then to just hang out. She starts recording videos of him building a dog house out of refurbished wood and she thinks there might be something good there. After having an argument with her mom, she rushes over to Jace's house and is shocked to see that his ex is there. She saw the video of the dog house and saw how happy he was and she realizes that she really missed him. Daisy ends up sticking around for dinner and then she overhears the ex talking about how dumb this expo is that she's entering because you can't enter a person into the design expo. Daisy leaves and looks it up and she's right - you can't enter a person into the design expo. She goes to tell Jace to forget that she ever existed. He ends up sending her a yarn sweater from the yarn bomber - and that's enough to convince her to still enter the contest. She gives the presentation and she is, predictably, disqualified. Also, she finds out her mom is the yarn bomber. A video of her presentation goes viral - people are calling it the future of marketing. Turns out, it was Jace who posted it.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH We're in Sydney, Australia. Biocyte Pharmaceuticals. This Einstein looking mother goose shoots himself in the wrist with this gun that has some sort of drug in it. Apparently he created a bioweapon for Biocyte called Chimera but also created the cure for it. And he needs to get it into the right hands. Next thing you know, he's on a plane sitting next to Ethan Hunt. He's the right hands. The plane experiences some cabin pressure loss, so the masks come down. Ethan stands up to take a look at whats up. People with the masks on start dropping like flies. Turns out, it's not really Ethan Hunt. It's a dude in the mask. Son of a gun got me again! There's a group of baddies who take the briefcase that Einstein had in his hands. They kill him and jump out of the plane before it crashes. Next thing you know, we're with Ethan Hunt, the real one. and he's just rock climbing, free solo style. It's nuts. Suddenly, this bag with glasses appear and he's given his mission - find this women named Nyah who apparently is the ex of Ambrose, the head of the guys from the plane. They think she'll be able to help get the briefcase back seeing as how she's also a profession thief. Ethan finds Nyah at this party trying to pick a lock for a necklace. Ethan tries to warn Nyah that the lock is protected by a fool proof alarm, but she ignores him. They are surrounded by armed guards. Thanks to Ethan's cover, he helps her escape, but she's not interested in working with him. Ethan chases Nyah in his car and he saves her life when car skids and falls over the cliff edge. They then have special time and she agrees to help him. Ethan then meets mission commander Swanbeck who reveals that Einstein had sent a video message to Ethan, while Ethan was out climbing. Now he's dead. And that's why you don't go on vacation. Apparently Ambrose was ordered by Swanbeck to impersonate Ethan Hunt since that who Einstein trusted but then he went rouge. Ethan's mission is to find this briefcase with the drug in it and bring it back. Nyah is not happy to learn that she has been recruited because she was Ambrose's ex-girlfriend but she agrees to help. Ethan get a team together. Luther is back and then we meet Billy, an australian helicopter pilot. Nyah sets up a time to meet with Ambrose. He sends someone to bring her to him which she's okay with because she knows that Ethan is tracking her and will keep her safe. One of Ambrose's associates, Hugh, suggests that Nyah's timing is a big suspcious, so he cuts off the tip of his pinky. Ambrose makes a memory card with information on Chimera and brings it to the race track to show to John McCloy, the CEO of Biocyte. Ethan sees Ambrose showing the contents of the memory card to McCloy on a camera. Nyah is able to get that card and gives it to Ethan. The card confirms that the drug is deadly. She gets back to Ambrose and she sneaks the card back into his pocket, which he notices but plays it cool. McCloy gets into his limo which has been taken by the IMF and they pump it full of this gas. When he wakes up, he's in a fake hospital room and is greeted by the ghost of Einstein. He tells him he's been infected with Chimera. McCloy admits that he ordered Chimera to be developed as a bio-weapon to sell for big bucks. Obviously, it's actually just Ethan in a mask and he now has all the information he needs. Nyah meets up with Ethan and they talk about the plan and we find out that it's not actually Ethan, rather it's Ambrose in a mask. So many masks, so little time. Ambrose decides he's going to use Nyah as bait to get Ethan to show up. Ethan and his team work on a plan to break into Biocyte and destory the remaining Chimera samples. Ethan enters the building from the roof, cuz it's Mission Impossible. He gets into the labs and begins to get rid of the remaining samples. Ther'es one left when he is suddenly ambused by Ambrose and his team. Ethan isn't worried about it until he finds out that Ambrose brought Nyah. He sends her over to grab the last gun of Chimera.. Nyah injects the virus into her body, giving her 20 hours to live and ensuring that Ambrose won't kill her. Ethan escapes but promising to save her. Ambrose releases Nyah on the streets of Sydney to spread the virus. Why? Because he meets back up with McCloy with a vile of the virus. He says he doesn't wants his money, he wants stock because as the Chimera outbreak grows, BioCyte will make a ton of money since they already have the anti-virus. McCloy isn't thrilled with this plan but there's not much he can do. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. It's an explosive thrown by Ethan. Ambrose tells his baddies to go kill him, including Hugh. Ethan and Hugh get into a big fight. He is able to put an Ethan mask onto Hugh and put a Hugh mask on himself. Ambrose them killed the fake Ethan. But when Ambrose see's fake Ethan's finger, he realizes what he's done. While Ambrose was distracted by this, the real Ethan takes the vials containing the virus and the antidote and runs to the helicopter waiting for him outside. Ambrose catches up with him first which leads to a bit of a chase with Ethan on a motorcycle, riding it through fire and what not. Ultimately, it leads to a fight between Ambrose and Ethan and Ethan is able to kill him in one of the more ridiculous ways you could imagine. They tracked Nyah down and brought her to Ethan and Luther injects her with the anti-virus! Commander Swanbeck reminds Ethan he was supposed to bring back a sample of the Chimera virus and he's like sorry. Nyah's record is wiped clean and Ethan ends the movie by meeting up with her and kissing big ones cuz everything is just a Hallmark movie in disguise, some might say a mask.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with what I believe is an original song for this BET+ Christmas film. We open with a dream sequence of Nancy being crowned the Queen of Christmas. Both Doris and Julia wake up suddenly—apparently from having the same dream? Doris, Julia, and Nancy are neighbors who compete in the local Christmas decorating competition, but Doris and Julia cannot stand Nancy. It’s not just that she always wins—it’s also that she only tips $1 on a $300 hair job Doris does for her, and then walks into Julia’s bakery to announce she won’t be eating any of the baked goods. Then comes bad news: the church’s annual Christmas play is canceled. Bishop Tony is just too tired to organize it this year. But their acting skills won’t go to waste—because director Patrick Saint Thomas is coming to town to cast his upcoming movie, and he’s hoping to find some untapped talent within the church community. If you get a golden ticket in your mailbox, that means you’ve been invited to audition. Doris, Julia, and Nancy all receive invites. Patrick’s assistant lets them know that Mr. Saint Thomas won’t just be judging based on acting ability—he’s also looking for genuine Christmas spirit. And so, the battle begins. The women all start competing fiercely, which apparently is exactly what Patrick Saint Thomas wants to see. Eventually, Doris and Julia realize they’re tearing their families apart. Their husbands are furious. Patrick Saint Thomas calls all three women in—Nancy included—and it turns out he’s just some white guy who gets a weird thrill from watching Black women argue? It’s... not great. Doris and Julia walk away from the project. Nancy has the final decision, and she turns it down too. In the end, the three women reconcile and become friends. They celebrate Christmas together—and we love that. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Terry Russell is an author, but it’s hard to get any writing done over her daughter’s loud music. We meet Matthew, who owns a restaurant and is just kinda grumpy—especially after a critic gives him a really bad review. Terry’s publisher and best friend, Leslie, sets her up on a blind date with her brother… Matthew. Terry shows up for the date and is excited—until she sees Matthew walk up and talk to the wrong woman. The date ends up lasting all of two minutes before she bails. Terry has writer’s block, and Matthew is in a funk after that review. Both could use a little getaway. Leslie tells Terry that she and her daughter should go stay at their family’s summer villa. But when Terry arrives, she’s shocked to find Matthew swimming in the backyard. He’s like, “I’m not leaving. I need time to get out of this funk.” She’s like, “Well, I’m not leaving either.” They call Leslie, and she tells them the house is big enough—why not just share it? They (reluctantly) agree. He’s immediately annoyed by how they’re handling the kitchen, and she’s immediately annoyed that she still has writer’s block. Her 15-year-old daughter, Abby, is there and keeps trying to cook for Matthew because she’s into it. Terry goes into town and meets local chef Jean Luc, and she’s pretty taken by him—and his accent. Jean Luc also wants Matthew to join a local cook-off. Matthew spends a lot of time in the kitchen trying to get re-inspired, but it’s not going well—even though Terry tries one of his dishes and tells him it’s delicious. One night, she can’t sleep and finds Matthew in the kitchen. Instead of telling her to scram, he invites her to share some homemade hot chocolate. They start to bond. Jean Luc shows up unannounced and asks Terry out. Matthew is not impressed—by Jean Luc or the fish he brought over. And by “not impressed,” we mean very jealous. Terry takes Matthew to the street market for inspiration, where they run into Jean Luc’s butcher, Nadia. She invites Terry over for dinner. Abby picks up on the fact that her mom is kinda into Matthew and is like, “You should go for it.” But when Terry sees Matthew and Nadia talking late at night, she gets suspicious, spies on them, and ends up falling into the pool. Nadia thinks it’s weird that he’s sharing a house with another woman and leaves. The next day, Terry goes on a picnic with Jean Luc. Naturally, Matthew picks a fight with her when she gets back. Abby is not leaving this to chance, so she starts working on ways to get Terry and Matthew in the same room. He begins to inspire her writing. One day, during a walk, he feeds her a berry and she immediately runs off to write. He asks her out to dinner. The sparks are flyingggg. But when they realize the restaurant is short-staffed, he jumps back into the kitchen—and sees Terry helping out with the waitstaff. That’s when he realizes: oh snap... she’s the one. They get back to the villa and are about to kiss—finally—but Abby comes downstairs in tears. Her friends are being mean to her on social media. Later, Terry starts inspiring his cooking. They almost kiss again... but there’s a knock at the door. It’s Dianne, Matthew’s business manager. She tells him she invited that same food critic to the cook-off. He’s not thrilled. Matthew asks Abby to be his sous chef for the competition. He’s overwhelmed—until he looks out at Terry. Sometimes, that’s all you need. They win!!! The critic comes up to Matthew afterward and tells him, “You’ve got your mojo back!” The next day, Terry is about to give Matthew her new manuscript—but they’re interrupted by big news: TV producers want to give Matthew his own show. He’d travel the world making food for women. Chef Cupid, baby. Terry is very sad. She figures it just wasn’t meant to be. She tells Matthew she had a great summer, but she’s going back to New York. He’s confused. Later, he finds her manuscript, reads it, and realizes—she doesn’t want him to be Chef Cupid. He races off to find her. He tells her, “The manuscript is our story. I want to find out what happens next.” They kiss big ones. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with Coach Bombay working a mission for the Impossible Missions Force—IMF, if you will. He’s the guy in the chair while Agent Ethan Hunt is out in the field, getting important information from a target and then killing him—because sometimes, you gotta. We then meet Jim Phillips, Ethan’s boss at the IMF. He receives the intel that Ethan retrieved. The team comes together to plan their next mission, and it’s a big one. An agent named Alexander has gone rogue and plans to steal a list of all undercover agents to sell to a buyer. The mission seems to be going according to plan. After Alexander puts the list on a floppy disk, everything goes south. The agents begin getting killed—first Coach Bombay, then Jim Phillips. Even Ethan’s wife, Claire, is killed. To make matters worse, when Ethan finds Alexander, he’s already dead, and there’s nothing in his pocket. In a haze, Ethan contacts the IMF and ends up meeting with the director, Eugene. Eugene explains that the entire mission was a decoy. Apparently, there’s an arms dealer known as “Max,” and the operation to steal the list was part of a mission called Job 314. Everyone was supposed to die. Eugene is suspicious of Ethan—especially since $120,000 mysteriously appeared in Ethan’s bank account. Realizing he’s in trouble, Ethan uses a piece of explosive gum (courtesy of Coach Bombay) to blow his way out and escape. Ethan starts doing some research and reads the Bible, finding Job 3:14. He begins sending coded emails to every address he thinks could belong to Max. He’s shocked when Claire shows up alive. Apparently, Jim warned her just before his death that the mission was compromised, so she faked her death to escape. Ethan eventually gets a reply from Max with instructions on when to meet. He’s picked up in a car and taken to her—turns out Max is a woman. Ethan tells her the list she has is fake. She doesn’t believe him, but he warns her that inserting it will trigger a tracking device. When it turns out he’s telling the truth, Ethan offers her the real list in exchange for $10 million and the identity of the mole behind Job 314. Max agrees and gives Ethan a $150,000 cash advance, which he uses to assemble a team of blacklisted agents, including computer expert Luther and pilot Franz. The new team begins planning an elaborate mission to break into the CIA at Langley. In an absolutely iconic scene, Ethan is lowered from the ceiling to avoid pressure sensors and successfully steals the real list on a disc. Back at the safe house, Franz tries to take the disc, but Ethan pulls off some sleight of hand and confuses him. He decides to trust Luther with the real disc. Ethan learns that Eugene has arrested his parents. He calls him from a payphone and, after hanging up, sees Jim Phillips—somehow still alive. Jim claims that Eugene is the mole. However, Ethan has already figured out that Jim is the traitor after realizing the Bible he used to look up the Job verse was stolen from the Drake Hotel in Chicago—where Jim once said he was stationed. Ethan pretends to believe Jim and arranges a meeting with Max on a train to exchange the list. On the train, Ethan tells Max the list is beneath her seat, and she tells him where the money is stashed. Meanwhile, Luther jams the signal so she can’t upload the list. Claire goes to collect her share from Jim but realizes too late that he’s actually Ethan in disguise. When the real Jim shows up and pulls a gun to take the money, Ethan streams the confrontation live to Eugene, exposing Jim as the mole. Jim kills Claire and climbs to the roof of the train, trying to escape in a helicopter piloted by Franz. But Ethan also gets on the roof, hooks the chopper to the train, and forces it into a tunnel. Miraculously, it doesn’t crash immediately. Ethan jumps onto the helicopter and uses another piece of explosive gum to blow it up—of course, surviving the blast. Eugene arrives, arrests Max, and recovers the list. Ethan and Luther are reinstated in the IMF, though Ethan isn’t sure if he wants to return. On the flight home, a flight attendant approaches him and covertly offers a new mission—this time as team leader.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH THE DEAD SPEAK! The opening crawl reveals that a mysterious broadcast has been heard across the galaxy in the voice of the late Emperor Palpatine. BUT HOW?! Leia dispatches agents across the galaxy to gather information on this, while Kylo Ren, now Supreme Leader of the First Order, searches for Palpatine in an effort to eliminate all potential threats to his power. Kylo Ren finds this triangle thing which leads him to a hidden planet where he finds Palpatine, still kicken. Palpatine unveils a fleet of Star Destroyers and offers it to Kylo if he finds and kills Rey, who is continuing her Jedi training under Leia. During Rey's training, She has a chat with Kylo Ren through their Force bond—brief flashes of the past—and accidentally crushes BB-8 during training. I was so mad at her for hurting sweet BB-8. Poe announces to the Resistance that Palpatine is alive and plans to unleash his fleet. To stop him, they need the Sith Finder which Rey believes to be on a planet called Pasanna. The. crew lands during a sick dance party. Rey meets a local who gives her a necklace—through their Force bond, Kylo take it from her and determines her location. Rey is soon approached by Leia’s contact—Lando Calrissian. He explains that he and Luke once searched for a Sith hunter named Ochi, who may have held the key to finding the Wayfinder. They found his ship, but no trace of him. Stormtroopers arrive, and the heroes flee into the desert, falling into quicksand that leads to an underground cave. There, they find a Sith dagger inscribed with a clue. Unfortunately, C-3PO’s programming prevents him from translating Sith text. Rey senses Kylo approaching and confronts him while the others prepare for takeoff. She brings down Kylo’s ship but is shocked to see Chewie captured. As she and Kylo both use the Force to stop a transport from leaving, Rey loses control and unleashes Force lightning—destroying the ship and, seemingly, killing Chewie. Don't worry - Chewie is fine. He was on a different ship and they're going to hold him captive. Poe takes the gang to see an old friend, Zorii Bliss. She takes them to a tiny little fella who can bypass 3PO's programming so that 3P0 will finally translate the Sith text, but will also erase his memory. Suddenly, the First Order arrives, having tracked the group. Rey senses that Chewie is alive on their Star Destroyer—they realize he must have been on a different transport. The crew sneaks onto the ship. While Finn and Poe are captured, Rey goes to retrieves the dagger, has a force battle with Kylo, and has a vision of the emporer killing her parents, who were hiding her to protect her. Kylo tells her it's because she's a Palpatine. The captives are about to be executed—but General Hux intervenes, revealing himself as the spy. He helps them escape, explaining he doesn’t care who wins, as long as Kylo loses. Rey refuses to join Kylo Ren in destroying Palpatine and the crew escapes with Chewie and the Falcon. Hux is immediately killed for being a spy. The team heads to where the Death Star wreckage lies. They meet Jannah, a former stormtrooper who, like Finn, escaped the First Order. Rey finds the Wayfinder—but experiences a dark vision of herself as a Sith Vampire combo package. Kylo shows up and they begin to fight. Suddenly, Kylo gets a vision of his mom, Leia, taking her last breath. He drops his lightsaber which Rey catches and uses to stab him. But then when she feels like Leia is dead, she heals Kylo so he can mourn without pain:? idk man. Kylo has a vision of his father who encourages him to return to the light. Kylo throws his lightsaber into the water. Poe is named General and doubts his ability to lead. Lando comes outta nowhere to give him a pep talk. Intending to exile herself like Luke, Rey tries to destroy her lightsaber, but Luke’s Force ghost appears. He tells her that Leia knew all along who she was and still believed in her. He gives her Leia’s saber and helps her retrieve the Wayfinder from Kylo’s ship. Rey pilots Luke’s old ship. With a signal from Luke’s ship coming through, the Resistance prepares for battle. Poe and Finn lead the attack, on horse back cuz duh. Rey shows up to confronts Palpatine. Dude is pumped to see his granddaughter. He says he doesn't want to kill her, rather he wants her to kill him so his spirit will enter her and they can lead together. Kylo shows up and they fight together, sharing Leia’s saber through the Force. Papetine enjoys the show and then uses his lightning fingers on both of them which is like draining their power. The Resistance attacks Palpatine’s fleet, but they’re outmatched. Just as hope fades, Lando arrives with a massive fleet from across the galaxy. As Rey lies on the ground, she hears the voices of past Jedi who encourage her to get up! She confronts Palpatine again, deflecting his lightning with both Luke and Leia’s sabers. As he declares “I am all the Sith,” Rey responds, “And I... am all the Jedi,” and destroys him. She's on the verge of death from the blast, but Kylo climbs out of the pit he was throw in and revives her with his own life force. They kiss BIG ONESSSS! But then he dies. Womp Womp. The Resistance destroys the Sith fleet.And the heroes reunite and celebrate the win. The movie ends with Rey and BB8 take the Falcon to Tatooine. She buries the Skywalker lightsabers there and shows that i guess she has her own yellow one now. When a local asks who she is, she says Rey. Follow up Q for you - Rey who? She ponders the answer until she sees the ghost of Luke and Leia smiling at her and she says Rey Skywalker as she and BB9 watch the twin suns.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Cassandra comes back from a hike and turns on the news, catching an interview with Dr. Susie, who helps her realize that she always picks the wrong men to date. She heads to work at the advertising agency. Her assistant Dana is getting married, but Cassandra’s boyfriend, Peter, refuses to go to the wedding with her because he thinks weddings are boring. At the wedding, Cassandra is seated at a table full of children—except for one other adult, a man named Robert. They really hit it off, but she leaves before they can exchange any contact information. Later, she's hanging out with her mom and sister, who help her see that Peter isn’t right for her. It becomes painfully obvious when, on a date to the batting cages, she just watches him hit balls the entire time—until she finally leaves. One day, while walking down the street, she sees Dr. Susie doing a book signing. Her sister insists they go in, and Cassandra is once again taken with Dr. Susie’s advice. The next day, while walking her dog, Cassandra bumps into Robert—who is also walking his dog. Sparks fly, and he asks her out on a date! They go play putt-putt and then transition to pool. They have the best time, and she kisses him on the cheek. The problem? There are too many sparks—something Dr. Susie warns against. According to her, Cassandra should choose someone boring and dependable. Luckily, she soon meets a boring guy named George and decides to give it a shot. So, she starts spending time with both men. With Robert, it’s all fun and excitement—he even brings her and her mom to an REO Speedwagon concert. With George, it’s formal dinners and predictability. While discussing her dilemma with her mom and sister, opinions are split: Mom is Team Robert, but her sister believes Robert contradicts everything Dr. Susie preaches. Eventually, Cassandra makes her choice and brings George to meet the family. It’s serious. But then she bumps into Robert at the mechanic. While waiting for their cars, they go bowling—and end up kissing. Cassandra panics and runs off. Trying to make things work with George, she kisses him too—but realizes there’s no real spark and breaks up with him. She throws away Dr. Susie’s book and rushes to find Robert at the town’s Chinese New Year celebration. They kiss and enjoy the fireworks together.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH A group of kids come running into an arena, excited because they’ve won a contest to meet the Toronto Maple Leafs. We meet star player Eric McNally, who’s kind of a jerk. While he’s out practicing, he takes a bad hit and collapses on the ice. Fast forward five years—Eric is now a sports anchor. We’re introduced to his partner, Sam, who brings surprising news: he’s become the legal guardian of his brother’s stepson, Scot. Scot’s mother has died, and Sam’s brother is missing. Eric is strongly against taking Scot in, but Sam insists it’s the right thing to do. Scot arrives, and Eric is baffled by him. Scot doesn’t like hockey, only musicals. He sings Christmas songs in October. He’s… different. At his new school, Scot struggles to adjust. The kids make fun of him for crying during a sad book, and at one point, he throws himself into a pile of leaves—until Eric comes to literally pick him up. Meanwhile, Eric is hiding the fact that he’s gay from his colleagues and is worried that Scot, who tends to overshare, will out him. Concerned that Scot is going to be bullied, Eric tries to help him fit in—starting, of course, by signing him up for hockey. Scot starts hanging out with a neighborhood kid who’s pretty mean, and in an effort to fit in, things go sideways. During the first game, Scot attacks his own goalie for tattling on his friend for stealing skates. Eric pulls him from the game, and Scot finally tells him he never wanted to play hockey in the first place. Then, Scot’s dad, Billy, suddenly shows up from Brazil, wanting to take Scot back with him. Eric and Sam decide to throw Scot a Christmas-themed going-away party, and Eric lets Scot wear whatever he wants. But they’re furious when Billy shows up with a fiancée they didn’t know existed. During the party, tensions rise, and they get into a big fight. When Scot sees that Billy brought a woman, he’s confused—and hurt. He’s upset that Billy didn’t even notice how much he’s grown. Eric steps in, delivering a heartfelt speech about how he would have noticed. He shows just how much he truly cares for Scot. Scot tells Billy he wants to stay. At first, Billy refuses—but eventually, he agrees. Cut to: Scot, Eric, and Sam enjoying a joyful, heartfelt Christmas together.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH It's a lawless time, y'all. Organized crime syndicates are running a muck since the fall of the Galactic Republic, forcing others to fight for survival. On the industrial ship-building planet Corellia, Lady Proxima, leader of the White Worms gang, is after a hyperfuel known as coaxium. That's when we meet Han. He is trying to escape Corellia for good. He feels confident he can do that after getting his hands on some coaxium. His girlfriend Qi'ra is pumped. But as they go to escape, they are found by some of Proxima's baddies and are taken to her. He's like oh I don't have an coaxium, but what i do have is THIS! He pulls out a rock and throws it through a window which lets in light which Proximia and her species are allergic to and they escape! But it does take long for them to catch up with him and a chase ensues. They bribe an Imperial officer at a spaceport for passage off-world. Han makes it through, but Qi'ra is captured at the last moment. Separated by a security gate, Han promises to return for her. Alone and desperate, Han enlists in the Imperial Navy. When asked for his surname, he's called “Solo” since he claims to have no family. Fast forward three years, Han has been expelled from flight school for acting a fool and is now down in the mud of a battle. There, he encounters a group of thieves disguised as soldiers—Tobias Beckett, Val, and Rio. When Han tries to blackmail his way into their crew, Beckett has him arrested and thrown into a pit with a deadly creature: a Wookiee named Chewbacca. Han and Chewbacca form a quick alliance, escaping together and convincing Beckett to take them in. Realizing Chewbacca’s brute strength is valuable, Beckett agrees. The crew sets off for their next job—stealing coaxium from a moving train. The heist goes sideways when they're ambushed by a gang of pirates. Rio is fatally shot, Val sacrifices herself, and the coaxium is lost in the chaos. Beckett reveals they were working for Dryden Vos, a high-ranking figure in the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate, and now owe him. To make amends, Han and Chewbacca offer to help steal unrefined coaxium from the mines on Kessel. Beckett agrees and takes them to Dryden's luxurious yacht, where Han reunites with Qi'ra—now a high-ranking lieutenant. Vos approves the plan but insists Qi'ra accompany them. She leads them to the suave smuggler Lando Calrissian, hoping to use his ship, the Millennium Falcon. Han loses a rigged card game to Lando but convinces him to join the mission in exchange for a cut. With Lando’s droid co-pilot L3-37 onboard, the team sets off. On Kessel, L3 sparks a riot among droid slaves, while Chewbacca breaks off to free Wookiee prisoners. The team escapes with the coaxium, but L3 is destroyed and Lando is injured. Using L3’s navigational system, Han pilots the Falcon. Han hatches a plan to outsmart Dryden Vos. It’s a classic double cross station. When they meet again, Dryden exposes Beckett as his informant. But Han had anticipated the betrayal—the coaxium given to Vos is real, and the fake decoy was a bluff. Beckett takes Chewbacca and the coaxium hostage, but Han later confronts and shoots him before he can retaliate. Meanwhile, Qi'ra kills Dryden Vos but secretly contacts her true boss: Darth Maul. She takes Vos’s ship and leaves, choosing to embrace her role. Han tracks down Lando and challenges him to a rematch in cards. This time, Han wins, gaining ownership of the Millennium Falcon. With Chewbacca by his side, Han sets off for Tatooine, following a tip about a powerful gangster—Jabba the Hutt—looking for smugglers for a big job.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH We meet Nick, a New York police officer who desperately wants to be a detective but keeps failing the test. He’s married to Audrey, a hairdresser who dreams of visiting Europe—a promise Nick made at their wedding but has yet to fulfill. After their 15th wedding anniversary dinner, Audrey calls him out on it, only for Nick to surprise her with the news that he’s actually booked the trip. (He totally hasn't—but sometimes you gotta spend thousands of dollars to keep up a lie.) On the flight, Audrey meets billionaire Charles Cavendish, who invites her to a gathering aboard his family’s yacht. When Nick hears about this, he’s like, “No way. I have a whole thing planned.” But when that plan turns out to involve a packed tour bus, he gives in. Aboard the yacht, Nick and Audrey meet quite the cast of characters: Malcolm Quince (Cavendish’s billionaire uncle), Suzi (Cavendish’s ex-fiancée and now Quince’s wife), Quince’s son Tobey, actress Grace Ballard, a colonel and his bodyguard, a rapper, and a race car driver. Later that evening, Quince arrives and announces that Suzi—his new wife—will now be his sole heir, cutting everyone else out of the will. Naturally, this does not go over well. Just before the new will can be signed, the lights go out—and when they come back on, Quince is found stabbed through the heart. Nick jumps into detective mode and tells everyone to stay on the yacht. That night, Tobey is found dead in what looks like a suicide. When they arrive in Monte Carlo, a local investigator boards the yacht to question everyone. The other guests point fingers at the “random Americans.” The investigator tells Nick and Audrey he knows they’re guilty and promises to prove it. At the Monaco Grand Prix, Nick and Audrey begin their own investigation to clear their names, interrogating the other guests. That night, the colonel’s bodyguard lures them to his room and drops a bombshell: Quince once married the colonel’s fiancée while the colonel was in a coma. She later died in childbirth. Just as things get juicy, someone knocks. Nick and Audrey hide, and when they come out, the bodyguard has been shot—he dies before naming the killer. Audrey is shaken when a news broadcast reveals that Nick isn’t really a detective. She storms off and is picked up by Cavendish, who urges her to leave Monte Carlo immediately. Eventually, everyone winds up at a lake. Nick and Audrey reconcile and start to suspect that Cavendish and Suzi are romantically involved and conspiring to split Quince’s fortune. While fleeing a masked attacker with a blow dart, they run into Carlos, the race car driver. Suzi is killed with a dart, and Nick and Carlos chase the killer but lose them. Nick and Audrey head to Quince’s mansion to confront Cavendish—only to find him poisoned. They call the investigator and gather the remaining guests, but everyone seems to have an alibi. Nick and Audrey then reveal that Grace, the actress, is the mastermind. She’s actually the daughter who was believed to have died in childbirth. She convinced Tobey to kill their father and then killed him herself. When she tries to escape, Nick shoots her in the arm. But the mystery isn’t over—Carlos is revealed to be the second killer, seeking revenge on Quince for the injuries that left his father disabled. Carlos takes the investigator hostage and tries to escape in a car, but Nick and Audrey stop him—with help from that overcrowded tour bus they skipped earlier. In the aftermath, the investigator thanks them and offers to help Nick finally earn his promotion. The couple continues their European adventure.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with a ton of hot air balloons and, despite what the title wants you to believe, there’s not a cloud in sight. Jared shows up to pilot one of the balloons so these two lovebirds can get engaged. We then meet Brooklyn. She’s a business reporter who apparently has too much personality. Her boss tells her she has one more chance to tone it down or she’s fired. Her friend tells her about this hot air balloon fiesta in Albuquerque and suggests she cover it. Lucky for her, a colleague quits, and she gets to go. Her boss calls Jared and asks if he’d be willing to let her reporter do a story on him—and stay with him. He agrees, as long as they don’t ask about his personal life. The boss then tells Brooklyn to absolutely dig into his personal life. Turns out Brooklyn is afraid of heights and asks her videographer to go up for her—until she meets Jared and is immediately like, “hubba hubba.” She spends the evening looking at his website. He spends the evening watching videos of her reporting. They wake up at 3 a.m. to get to the festival. It doesn’t take long to find out Jared is pretty jaded when it comes to love, despite running romantic balloon rides. Could be because his fiancée left him for a rival balloonist. Brooklyn’s boss wants that scoop on jaded Jared. The wind’s too strong to actually fly, so Jared and Brooklyn spend the day together, and she’s impressed by his passion for ballooning. Another windy day, another grounded balloon—so he shows her around town instead. Her boss keeps calling, demanding dirt on Jared’s personal life, but Brooklyn’s not giving anything up. That night, they end up holding hands as they watch the glowing hot air balloons. Sparks are flying. She spends the evening with Jared and his family, and he finally opens up about how his fiancée left him and kind of ruined love for him. Brooklyn tells her friend Elise that she can’t do the story her boss wants. What she wants is to stop living in fear. Tomorrow... she’s going up in a balloon! They take off, and she’s so thrilled she kisses him—and he kisses her back! They land hard and tip over, but she’s not even upset. He runs to pick up a necklace she liked earlier and gives it to her during the drone show. They almost kiss again. Her boss calls about the story. She tells him she’s not doing it—but all he hears is her talking about the story, and he’s mad. She tries to talk to Jared before she leaves, but he’s not having it. So she posts the segment—the story she wanted to tell—and it goes viral. She quits her job, and promptly gets a call from a New Mexico channel. She’s hired. So that’s nice. Jared watches the story and realizes he done goofed. He rushes to the airport, apologizes for being a dummy, and she tells him she’s staying. They kiss—big time. The movie ends with them going back up in a balloon. He proposes. She says yes. They kiss some more. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Ben & Jamie are best friends. Like, besttttttt friends. They’ve been besties since 8th grade. Palmer is their third-best friend. Jamie has a boyfriend—also named Jamie. Claire is Ben’s girlfriend. Both Jamie and Ben went off to college together, leaving their significant others behind in long-distance relationships. Ben’s girlfriend is still in high school—but don’t worry, she just had to repeat 1st grade. She’s... a lot. Jamie is annoyed that her roommate really wants to be friends, but she reluctantly agrees to go to a party—and Ben tags along. Let’s just say... the party does not go well. They start to wonder if their long-distance relationships are ruining their lives. They mutually decide it’s time to break up with their significant others—on Wednesday, when they get home for Thanksgiving. After an exam, they go to leave—but Ben’s car is missing. Turns out, Ben’s boyfriend took it to Colorado. So, they hop on a bus instead. The plan gets pushed back a bit, but it’s going to be fine. “Unwritten” plays, and that’s the rest of the day. They rope Palmer into helping. He brings the boyfriend and girlfriend over to his house, but gives them alcohol, and they sneak out drunk because they’re hungry. Palmer goes after them and ends up running into Coach Reese—the head football coach. When Reese asks what's going on, Palmer explains... and lets slip that tonight’s get-together was supposed to be a sort of coming out party. To Palmer’s shock, Reese reveals that he’s also gay—and has chosen to live in small-town Ohio. Reese takes him to a bowling alley to meet his boyfriend and the queer bowling league. Meanwhile, Jamie and Ben are stuck trying to find their missing boyfriend and girlfriend. They try sneaking into a bar where they think they might be—but that fails, and leads to an argument. Hurtful things are said, especially when Claire finds out that Ben is going to Copenhagen next semester. Eventually, they learn their partners are at a house party. They head there, find them, and attempt to break up—but it doesn’t go smoothly. The fact that they're both breaking up at the exact same time makes Ben’s girlfriend suspicious. She tells them they should just get together already. So Ben and Jamie have the talk: should they? They end up sharing a kiss—one that could be described as “big ones.” It's interrupted by the arrival of the fire department. Finally—it’s Thanksgiving. Ben is watching When Harry Met Sally and realizes he has to talk to Jamie. He needs to get something off his chest: he doesn’t have romantic feelings for her, and the kiss didn’t do it for him. Jamie is relieved—she felt the exact same way. Ben heads to Europe. Six months later, he returns a day early to surprise Jamie—so they can dance together in a totally normal way... that two people who are just friends do.

Leia orders Poe and the otherrs to get back out there and fight them off. Kylo Ren, feeling the pressure from Snoke, is out there leading the attack, piloting his own ship. He is about to blow their ship up when he realizes that his mom is on board and hesitates. But one of the other pilots shoots and causes and expolosion which sends Leia flying into space.

There's this whole journey that Finn and Rose go on at a casino and these giant cat things. They meet DJ who overhears the two of them needing a code-breaker, and he offers his services. Rey has another conversation with Kylo and he tells her that what Luke told her is not true. He made that hut collapse because he woke up from slumber to see Luke holding a lightsaber over him, getting ready to kill him. They reach their hands out to each other and they touch hands Neil Dimond style. Sweet Caroline. Luke senses this and puts a stop to it. Rey confronts Luke over what Kylo told him. They fight a bit and then he explains that he could sense that there was nothing but darkness within Kylo and He did consider killing him but backed out of it, only for Kylo to see him with the light-saber and assume that he was indeed going to kill him. Rey tells him that she could see that all hope is not lost when she touched Kylo's hand and she's going to go to him. Luke is frustrated and is met by Yoda. He tells Yoda he's going to destroy the Jedi texts and Yoda is like one step ahead of you and does it and he tells Luke to help Rey. Rey arrives on the same ship as Kylo and is immediately taken prisoner. Rey tries to get Kylo to abandon the dark side but he's like it's you that will join the dark side. Kylo brings Rey to Snoke. Holdo, who is in charge while Leia is recovering, starts to set in motion plans to evacuate. Poe believes she is up to something and he attempts to stage a mutiny. Before his plans can go into effect, Leia appears after waking up and she blasts Poe. Leia allows Holdo's plan to go ahead and off they go. Snoke reveals that he created the connection between her and Kylo in an attempt to destroy Luke. He begins to use the force on her to get her to spill the beans on Luke. Finn, Rose, and DJ make it to the First Order's ship. They are captured and DJ immediately comes clean about their plan to save himself. Snoke attempts to get Kylo to kill Rey with his light-saber, but Kylo uses Luke's light-saber to impale Snoke and cut him in half. Rey and Kylo then team up to fight Snoke's soldiers. But don't get it twist - Kylo has not given into the light. He says it's time to let old things die and he invites Rey to join him in dark side. He even brings up how she knwos the truth about her parents - they were junk traders who sold her off, hoping that would cause Rey to give in. But she eventually resists. While that's happening, Holdo sacrifices herself to help the resistance get away. This also allows Finn & Rose to escape right as they're about to be killed. Kylo Ren is like I'M THE CAPTAIN NOW! And he orders gigantic walkers to go to the Resistance HQ. Poe leads Finn, Rose, and a few others to fight back. Rey and Chewie come down with the Falcon to help which really makes Kylo mad. Finn is about to sacrifice himself but Rose crashes her ship into his to stop him. Finn goes to her and asks why she did it. She tells him they always fight for what they love. She kisses small ones and then passes out. It's not looking good. Leia is feeling defeated. Suddenly, Luke arrives. They chat a bit and then he goes to take care of business. Luke goes out to face the First Order by himself. Kylo orders they use every blaster they can on him, which they do. When the smoke clear, Luke is there...unphased by Kylo's blasters. Poe sees this and realizes that Luke is distracting the baddies to allow them to escape. But their escape is blocked by rocks. Luckily, Rey shows up to clear the rocks and get them free. Kylo goes down to face Luke himself. They duel with their light-sabers, and Kylo attempts to strike Luke with a killing blow, only to realize Luke is a hologram... he still on his island babyyyyyy. Luke tells Kylo that he will not be the last Jedi. He vanished and we see him back on the island. HE finally vanishes and becomes one with the force. Rey tells Leia that she can sense that Luke is now gone, and she asks what will become of the Resistance now. Leia tells her they have what they need to rebuild. On Canto Bight, a trio of stable children that previously encountered Finn and Rose are telling each other the story of Luke Skywalker. Their master comes over to scold them to force them back to work. The boy they had found in the stable goes outside and uses the Force to draw a broom to his hand. He looks up at the sky to see the Falcon flying overhead, and, with Rose's Resistance ring on his finger, he raises his broom like a light-saber.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Eric Field hops on a train, heading back to Italy. Why? To find his 24-year-old daughter, Liv. Eric has a complicated relationship with Italy, so he’s not exactly thrilled to be there. And he’s even less thrilled to learn that his daughter is apparently trying to buy a villa. Liv catches him up on what she’s been up to: she tutored English in Milan, nannied in Florence, worked harvesting olives, then came to this village for a wine festival—and fell in love. Eric’s like, “I thought you’d come over here for a little bit and then come back to Ohio.” They walk into a coffee shop where Eric meets a woman who clearly strikes his fancy. He immediately starts unloading on her about how his daughter is being ripped off by the mayor, who’s trying to get her to buy some dumb house for one euro. Turns out, this woman is the mayor. Liv explains to her dad that she wants to buy a place here to feel closer to her late mother, who was very proud of being Italian. So the three of them go check out some dumpy houses. Apparently, the mayor, Francesca, is doing this one-euro housing program to help boost the village’s economy by bringing in new people. The first few houses are awful. But the last one? It’s amazing. The problem? It’s not technically on the list yet. Still, it’s clearly the one. Eric goes out with the mayor for gelato to talk more about the house. This guy named Bernardo, who’s in charge of permits and such, is also there—and he’s not fond of the idea of a non-Italian buying property in the village. He’s worried they’ll change things. As work begins on the house, Eric keeps trying to take over and pushes Liv to just renovate and sell it. But Liv stands her ground. Eric finds out Francesca has been widowed for five years—two years longer than he has. There’s this guy named Giovanni, a chef who’s very into Liv, but she’s not feeling it. Eric, however, likes him and is super impressed with his food. That gets Eric thinking: the villa has an authentic brick pizza oven and chimney. Eric invites everyone—including Francesca and Bernardo—to pitch the idea of turning the villa into a culinary school, which could help boost the local economy. He asks Giovanni to participate and encourages Liv to give him a shot. Eric and Francesca go on what might be a date… or might not. But things are getting serious. Meanwhile, Eric’s been gone for two months, and his employer tells him that the competition is trying to poach her. She’s considering the offer because she’s not sure Eric is ever coming back. Later, Eric and Francesca go to a beach party—and end up kissing. They head back to her place. The sparks are FLYING. Eric starts to wonder if maybe he should just stay and be close to his daughter. But then Liv drops a bomb—she has the opportunity to do a year-long interior design apprenticeship in Rome. Eric’s like, “That’s amazing!” And Liv says, “You should stay here and help run the villa!” Things take a turn when Bernardo finds out Eric and Francesca are together, and he’s not happy. At the unveiling of the restored fresco in what will be the culinary school, Bernardo brings in the American Longos, who he claims are the rightful owners of the villa. In response, Eric offers to give the couple the villa—if they pay for the renovations. Francesca isn’t about to give up without a fight. She investigates and discovers that the Longos are actually related to a different house in town, not this villa. She rushes to the train station to stop Eric just in time. He says he doesn’t want to leave, and she tells him, “You haven’t lost the villa. It’s all yours.” Some time passes. They open the culinary school. And they dance the night away.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with big horses, big hats, and big fun! Cut to hotel employee Stella—well, so we think. She’s sneaking into a room for some mysterious reason. It looks like she’s wheeling in room service, but she’s shocked to discover someone is actually in the room. It’s Christian, and he’s confused because he didn’t order anything. Turns out, it’s not room service at all—Stella designed a hat that she’s trying to get in front of Christian’s mom, Rosalind, who is apparently a big deal. Christian helps Stella sneak out when his mom unexpectedly returns, but she accidentally leaves the hat behind. Rosalind sees it, loves it, and decides she wants to wear it. Christian tells her that the woman who designed it had just dropped it off, then heads down to the lobby to tell Stella the good news—and invites her back up to meet his mom. Rosalind is impressed and asks Stella to design a hat based on her outfit. Rosalind’s stylist is not a fan of Stella and is thrilled when Rosalind dislikes Stella’s first design. She even tells Stella to “bless her heart,” which Stella doesn’t realize is the sickest Southern burn. So it’s back to the drawing board—but this time, they’re doing a whole new look, dress and all. Stella starts hanging out with Christian a lot. They strike a deal: he’ll help her navigate Kentucky high society so she can design the perfect hats, and she’ll use her farm experience to help train Christian’s nervous horse for the Louisville Derby. (Spoiler: all the horse really needed was a song.) Then there’s this other dude, Davidson, who’s clearly into Stella—and Christian fricken hates this guy. Meanwhile, Rosalind’s assistant, Hannah, is super jealous of how much Rosalind likes Stella. She starts acting out: trying to embarrass Stella at a party, telling Christian that Stella likes Davidson (so he starts giving her the cold shoulder), and even trying to convince Rosalind not to wear Stella’s hat. But Odette steps in and convinces Rosalind to wear it—and she wins the hat-off! When Rosalind realizes Stella is missing, Hannah finally comes clean: she told Stella she wasn’t allowed to sit in the box. Christian rushes off to find Stella, and they make up. Then it’s time for the big race… and they win! Christian and Stella finally share a kiss! Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with—yep, you guessed it—a yule log. A woman named Dianne shows up and begins vacuuming the floor. There's a knock at the door, and it's another woman claiming her car broke down. Suddenly, her son invites himself in, and we see Dianne get pushed down in front of the camera. Then a masked man appears and comes after her. Just then, the video is paused, and we realize the police are watching the footage. Apparently, Dianne doesn’t make it—and she’s not the only one. From what I gather, Dianne was cleaning the house for a group of renters who were about to arrive. And they do. All of them end up dead—except one: Zoe. But Zoe is not doing well. And Zoe knows the truth: it wasn’t a person that did this. Rather, it was a killer log that floats around and murders people. Speaking of which, a police officer is watching more of the tape when he hears a noise from the evidence room. He goes to check it out—and it’s the yule log. He tries to fight back, but the yule log saws off his leg with a chainsaw and blows up the building with dynamite, destroying the tape. Zoe tries to return to normal life, but she keeps seeing the log everywhere and ends up getting fired from her job. The police tell her the case is closed—they're convinced the masked man is the killer. Zoe insists, “No, it’s the log!” But no one believes her. Her friend Jakester suggests they get away from it all and spend Christmas on an island. They get in the car—but Santa makes them crash into a tree. A tow truck driver shows up, and he’s a total hunk. Zoe starts wandering around this small town, axe in hand, and notices things get oddly brighter when she enters Main Street. She keeps bumping into hunks, but she doesn’t have time for that. The first hunk is an influencer named Bo Regards, and he announces, “WE’RE GOING TO GET DINNER!” After the fourth hunk knocks her over, she yells for help. A hunky Christmas ornament shop owner comes to her rescue and brings her inside. She meets his kid and his Nana and learns that the guy—Bert—is a widower. She accidentally knocks over all the ornaments and tries to fix them, but then she gets a text from Bo about dinner plans. Turns out Bo has opened his own competing ornament shop. Unfortunate. Meanwhile, the yule log is on its own adventure. It sneaks into the trunk of a family going camping and proceeds to brutally kill them all. Bo agrees to let Zoe use his helicopter, but it leaves without her. As she walks back to town, Bert and his family pick her up and offer to let her stay with them. She opens up to Bert about what happened, and he’s like, “Don’t worry—I know just what you need.” He’s built a machine that helps people process trauma. And it works. Her life changes. She’s full of holiday cheer and no longer afraid of the yule log. Zoe and Bert have a wonderful day together—blowing bubbles by the creek, sliding down a fire pole, etc. Everything seems great—until we see the yule log peeking around a corner. But don’t worry—Santa shows up and captures it in a bag. He runs it through a wood chipper, then buries the pieces in a shallow grave and pours cement over it. Looks like the nightmare is finally over. Except… one tiny wood strip escapes. It flies through the air and gives Nana a splinter. They all go inside for dinner, and—don’t ask me why—Zoe opens the freezer and sees a mini version of Nana, who invites her inside. Zoe climbs in and shrinks down too. Her ex, Alex, is also in the freezer, working on his boxing skills. (I have no idea, man.) The next day, Nana complains about her stomach—but I’m sure it’s nothing. At Christmas dinner, chaos erupts. Nana starts vomiting all over the food and then starts choking. One of the Cards tries to give her the Heimlich when suddenly they’re stabbed by a giant tree branch. More branches burst from Nana until her head pops off—and the yule log crawls out from the head hole. Nana Yule Log heads to the town square, where the Yule Log Festival is happening. She lights all the other yule logs on fire, and they begin attacking the townspeople. She tracks Zoe and Bert back to his house, where they discover that the ashes of their loved ones are the only thing that can extinguish the fire. They win! Zoe decides it’s best to leave town. But in the end, she returns for the store’s grand re-opening—and kisses Bert. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH We meet a little girl named Jyn. Her family is in hiding. One day, the bad guy Orson shows up to tell Jyn's dad, Galen, that they need him to come back and finish the Death Star. Galen’s like, “I wouldn’t be any use—I’m just a sad sack ever since my wife died.” Suddenly, his wife comes running out of the field—so really bad timing, honestly. She has a gun and she’s like, “You’ll never take him!” Orson’s like, “I’m taking you all.” She shoots him. They shoot her. Orson tells his guys to go find the child, but Jyn is really good at hide-and-seek. She waits in the secret spot until a dude named Saw shows up. It’s clear they know each other. Fast forward some time—Jyn is now an adult and in a holding cell. Meanwhile, a cargo pilot named Bodhi shows up and claims to Saw that he wants to join the Rebels. Jyn is being transferred with other prisoners when Rebel forces suddenly break in and free them, led by Cassian Andor. Together, they fight stormtroopers and escape. They take a reprogrammed Imperial droid named K-2SO and head somewhere else, where they encounter more stormtroopers who are gathering crystals to power the Death Star. They're about to get captured, but a blind spiritual warrior named Chirrut Îmwe and his mercenary friend Baze Malbus help them out. This allows Jyn to make contact with Saw, who is holding Bodhi. She sees a message in which Galen reveals that he secretly built a vulnerability into the Death Star. The schematics are stored in an Imperial data vault. Onboard the Death Star, Orson orders a test strike on the moon where the gang is. Jyn and her group take Bodhi and flee, but Saw stays behind and dies. Orson gets an atta boy from his higher-up. Bodhi leads the group to Galen’s Imperial research facility. Rebel bombers attack the site. Galen is wounded and dies in Jyn’s arms before she escapes with the group on a stolen Imperial cargo shuttle. Orson is summoned by Darth Vader—he’s back, baby!—to explain the attack. Orson’s like, “Now that you’ve seen my work, maybe introduce me to the Emperor?” Vader force-chokes him and says, “Get back to work and don’t cause any more trouble.” Jyn proposes a mission to steal the Death Star schematics, but the Alliance Council thinks there’s no chance of success. Frustrated by their inaction, Jyn’s group leads a small squad of volunteers—Bodhi dubs them “Rogue One.” Jyn, Cassian, and K-2SO infiltrate the Imperial base while the others create a diversion with a space battle. The Alliance eventually joins the fight, sending their fleet. Jyn gets the schematics but is ambushed by Orson, who is shot and wounded by Cassian. Jyn transmits the schematics to the Rebel command ship just before the Death Star fires a beam that destroys the base—and them. The Rebel fleet tries to escape, but many ships are intercepted by Darth Vader. He boards the command ship and wrecks everyone in an attempt to recover the plans, but a smaller ship escapes with them. Princess Leia declares that the schematics will provide hope for the Rebellion—some might even call it a new hope.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH *Producer note: a listener has explained to me how PO boxes work* A woman walks into a bar as Oliver narrates over the scene. We see that she ends up in the background of a selfie while she’s walking around. She sits at the bar, writes a letter, and puts a stamp on it. When she notices the cops looking around, she quickly leaves, causing the letter to fall to the floor and get kicked under the bar. Fast forward five years: the gang is at brunch. Ramon brings them a letter he found under the bar — it turns out this brunch spot and the nightclub from five years ago are one and the same. They can't make anything out from the outside of the letter, so they open it. Unfortunately, the letter couldn't be less helpful — it's even signed "Me," almost as if it’s written in code. We also find out that Shane and Rita are both pregnant! Yippie! Oliver and Shane go to tell Oliver’s dad that they’re expecting. Oliver is also working with his dad to open a postal museum. While going through the attic, Oliver’s dad finds a box labeled "For Oliver Someday" and quickly tries to hide it. The next day, they're back at the office when Charley reads the letter and immediately realizes that the author is talking about the now-famous artist Nate Hallaway. Shane looks him up and sees he’s playing a gig in Vegas. ROAD TRIP! Oliver and Shane go to a doctor’s appointment, and everything is looking good with the baby. However, Oliver realizes he knows very little about his family history. He goes to talk to his dad, who then gives him the "For Oliver Someday" box. Meanwhile, the gang makes it to the Vegas show. At first, Nate acts like he doesn’t know what they’re talking about. But after the show, he admits the truth: the letter is from a woman named Tracy Rio. She wrote his best songs. That night, she had suddenly disappeared without telling him why. Since then, she has been sending him songs and he sends money via a P.O. box every month. The team stakes out the P.O. box until someone matching Tracy’s description shows up. They follow her and discover that she’s now a caregiver. She invites them in and shares her story: she’s been on the run ever since her dad robbed a bank when she was a child. Her whole family has been "wanted" ever since. When she turned 18, her mom gave her money and stamps, and they communicated through a postal box. After that fateful night, she assumed the box no longer worked and never wrote again. She asks the team to find her mom and tell her she’s okay. While working on this, Oliver reads through the letters his dad kept and begins to question why his dad held onto them all these years. As he’s processing all of this, Oliver tracks Tracy’s mom to a nearby church. He delivers Tracy’s letter and tells her he must report her to the police. However, he finds out she has another daughter who will turn 18 in six weeks, so he agrees to give her that time before reporting her. Oliver and his dad have a heart-to-heart about fatherhood and reconcile. Six weeks later, it’s time for the gala to raise money for the postal museum. Tracy — whose real name is Lilly — shows up, and her mom is there too. Lilly goes on stage to sing. Meanwhile, Oliver tells her mom that it’s time: the feds are waiting. She turns herself in, and Oliver reunites Lilly and Nate backstage. The movie ends with the gang hanging out, drinking Yoo-hoo, and Rita finding out that the baby they’re adopting was just born — so they rush off together.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH You need to know something right off the bat: the Herdmans are the worst kids in the world. There’s Imogen, the eldest, then Ralph, Leroy, Claude, Ollie, and Gladys. They smoke. They curse. They bully. They’re just plain bad. Enter Beth Bradley, our narrator. Early on, her locket gets stolen, and she prays to God to send the Herdmans far, far away. Meanwhile, the church’s 75th annual Christmas pageant is coming up—it’s a big deal. Mrs. Armstrong, who’s directed it every year, breaks both her legs, so Beth’s mom, Grace, steps in. Despite all the skeptics, she boldly claims it’s going to be the best Christmas pageant ever. Beth’s little brother Charlie has been getting bullied into giving Leroy Herdman his lunch cookies. Out of frustration, Charlie tells them he doesn’t even care—he gets all the snacks he wants at church. Big mistake. Leroy spreads the word to his siblings, and the next thing you know, the Herdmans show up at church. The pastor says they’ve got to attend Sunday school first—so they do. But even more shocking than them staying is when Imogen declares she’s going to play Mary, and Ralph is going to be Joseph. The rest of the major roles? Also claimed by Herdmans. The other kids decide it’s probably best not to argue. When the church community hears about this, they protest: You can’t let the Herdmans be in the pageant! At the first rehearsal, Grace realizes something big—the Herdmans have never heard the story of Jesus. They’re stunned by it. They demand King Herod be included in the play… and that he be taken out. Imogen ropes Beth into helping them research the story of Christmas at the library. The final dress rehearsal is a mess. Imogen’s brothers hide the baby Jesus doll, the choir falls apart, and a fire alarm goes off. Everyone assumes Imogen pulled it—or that she was smoking in the bathroom. Turns out, something just burned in the oven. Imogen overhears the townspeople badmouthing her family and decides they’re done. The Herdmans vanish. The next day, Grace can’t get ahold of them. Beth goes to Imogen’s house and reminds her that Grace stuck up for them. Imogen gives no sign of what they’ll do. So that night, as Grace prepares to open the show, she tells the audience honestly—she has no idea what’s going to happen. And then, just in time, the Herdmans show up. They bring their own flair to the pageant: Imogen gently burps the baby doll, the Wise Men bring a ham, and Imogen even sheds a tear. The crowd is unexpectedly moved—they love it. The film closes with a grown-up Beth now directing the Christmas pageant herself, carrying on the wild, wonderful legacy of the Herdmans.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Luke Skywalker has vanished! And the First Order has taken control. All that's left is to find Luke and destroy him. Leia, Luke's sister, is searching for him. If she can find him, then there's still hope to bring some order and peace to the galaxy. That takes us to the planet Jakku. We meet a pilot named Poe who is on a mission to retrieve a map. He has the map—something the First Order finds out. So they show up and start blasting, all "pew pew." Kylo Ren arrives, and he’s clearly the one in charge. He’s even got a voice thing like Darth Vader. He's awesome. He captures Poe, convinced he has the map. But Poe already gave it to his droid, BB-8. We see one stormtrooper who seems to be struggling—maybe starting to doubt if he's on the right side of history. His name is FN-2187, but we’ll call him Finn. Then we meet Rey. She’s out there grinding, scavenging for quarter portions. It’s tough out there. One evening, she finds BB-8 and likes him enough that she turns down an offer of 60 portions just to keep him. Meanwhile, Kylo Ren uses the Force to learn more about BB-8. Finn decides he’s had enough and helps Poe escape—they steal a ship, but it’s shot down. Finn survives and assumes Poe was killed when the ship sinks into quicksand. All that’s left is Poe’s jacket. Finn meets Rey and BB-8. The First Order is hot on their trail, so they steal the Millennium Falcon and escape. Han Solo and Chewbacca track the Falcon and agree to team up with them. We start to see Kylo Ren struggling with the pull of the light side. When Supreme Leader Snoke orders an attack on the New Republic, he senses Kylo’s hesitation. He suspects it's because of Kylo’s father… HAN SOLO! Kylo says it won’t be a problem, but then we see him speaking to Darth Vader’s helmet, asking for strength to stay on the dark side. Aboard the Falcon, Han realizes that BB-8’s map is incomplete. He explains that Luke tried to rebuild the Jedi Order but went into exile after an apprentice turned to the dark side. Han takes the group to meet Maz, a cantina owner, who offers to help get BB-8 to the Resistance. The Force draws Rey to an underground vault where she finds Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber. When she touches it, she has disturbing visions and decides not to take it. Maz gives the lightsaber to Finn for safekeeping. The First Order attacks and tracks down the Falcon. They’re hunting for BB-8. Kylo captures Rey because he knows she’s seen the map. Resistance fighters led by Poe arrive to save the others. And guess what—LEIA IS BACK, BABY! Rey resists Kylo’s mind-reading attempts and realizes she may have the Force. She tries a Jedi mind trick on a stormtrooper—and it works. She escapes just before Kylo comes to take her to Snoke, who is not pleased. The Resistance devises a plan to destroy the First Order’s new superweapon by targeting its weakness—because seriously, these guys never learn. Using the Falcon, Han, Chewbacca, and Finn infiltrate the base. Finn finds Rey, who’s already working on escaping, and they plant explosives. Han confronts Kylo, calling him by his real name—Ben—and pleads with him to leave the dark side. Kylo, with tears on his cheeks, seems tempted… but then stabs Han through the chest with a lightsaber and lets him fall to his death. Chewbacca, enraged, shoots Kylo and injures him. They manage to escape while Rey and Finn head into the snowy woods. Kylo follows. He knocks Rey out with the Force and duels Finn, eventually defeating him. Rey regains consciousness, uses the Force to call the lightsaber to her, and fights Kylo. She wins. Chewbacca rescues Rey and the injured Finn, and they escape aboard the Falcon just as the First Order base explodes. Back at the Resistance base, R2-D2 wakes up and reveals he has the missing piece of the map to Luke. Rey travels to a remote island and finds Luke atop a cliff. She holds out his lightsaber.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Nurse Monica Miller has been working hard, hoping a promotion is just around the corner. But it doesn’t come. Feeling disheartened, she visits her mom, who gives her some simple but powerful advice: go walk the Camino. So, she does. Monica heads to Spain and meets Luis, who helps her with her shoes—and if that’s not love, I don’t know what is. Along the journey, they stay in homes of kind locals who welcome pilgrims. Luis is traveling with his son, Mateo, and his parents, which stirs up some tension—especially since all he really wants to do is talk to Monica. He even rides back on horseback to retrieve her devotional book. What a guy. One night, they’re sitting by the fire and almost kiss, but they stop when the power goes out and they’re left in the glow of the flames—because of course that would be too romantic to actually follow through. Now, something you should know about Luis: he avoids spending time with his son, Mateo, as much as possible. Mateo doesn’t seem to care—until one night when Luis misses family dinner because he lost track of time hanging out with Monica. That’s when things shift. Monica starts to feel like she’s getting in the way of Luis and Mateo’s Camino experience, so she quietly slips away. Later, Mateo turns to his dad and asks, “Do you love her?” And Luis is like, “Yeah.” So off they go to find her. They arrive at what many consider the end of the Camino—but she’s not there. She kept walking. Monica makes it to the true end of the path and kneels to pray. Just then, Luis shows up, interrupts her prayer, and is like, “Hey, boo boo.” They decide they want to walk through life together—and they kiss.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH We meet The Balsano family. They are all getting together at the old family home. It's a huge family gathering, complete with dads talking about robots, baking, grandma, and kids playing video games. We see in the basement, there is a "for sale" sign that's kind of been put in a corner. They all rush outside to cheer as firetrucks speed down the streets, all decked out in Christmas lights. And, of course, Santa Claus. Afterwards, we find out that not only are the parents secretly selling the house, but it's already done. They come back inside, eat dinner , and do Secret Santa. As the rest of the family sits down to watch old home videos, two of the teenage girls, Emily & Michelle, sneak out to hang out with their friends. As they speed down the back roads, we see some police officers going full speed gun mode on Christmas Eve. But they don't care. They don't do anything. They meet up with some other teenagers. They all meet up at a diner and then go get some beers. One of the dumb boys ends up throwing one of the beers which lands on a windshield in the parking lot that shatters. The cops are called but they're too busy talking about their hypothetical feelings for one another to do anything about it. The teenagers scatter and go to make-out point where they all just kind of pair off into the back of cars. Emily grabs her bag of bagels and heads home as one of the family members falls asleep on the piano. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Vice Principal Jo is bustling around backstage at the school theater. She trips, and her glasses fall off. She looks up and thinks she sees a total hunk—but who can be sure? She steps out from backstage, and we see the same chaotic scene from the first film, where all the moms bump into each other. Smile. Love Club. Group photo. Fast forward six months: Jo is now dating the choir director, Karim, and she’s been promoted to Principal! But something’s off—she doesn’t seem quite happy. So, she reaches out to the Love Club. Jo confesses that Karim might be ready to take the relationship to the next level, but she’s just not sure she feels the same way. The next day, she sees that same hunk from six months ago... and realizes she knows him. It’s Ryan, and his son, Simon, is a student at the school. Turns out Simon’s been having some trouble. Jo and Ryan get into an argument, and he storms off. That’s when it hits her—not only does she know him... he’s her ex-husband. She tells the Love Club that she spontaneously married Ryan at 18, and it was a huge mistake. Then Karim proposes via Yahtzee, and Jo tells him she needs time to think. The Love Club suspects Jo still has feelings for Ryan. So Tory drags her over to his house—where he’s washing car mats with his shirt off (of course). Sparks start to fly over the car... until a massive argument breaks out about who actually ended their marriage. Jo storms off and calls Karim. She says yes. But just as she starts planning another wedding, she finds out... she’s still married to Ryan. She confronts him and asks him to come to City Hall to finalize the annulment. But first, he takes her on a surprise detour—to their old high school. Cue the nostalgia. Cue the flying sparks. Ultimately, Jo decides to break things off with Karim. But when she shows up to talk to Ryan—his baby mama is there. Heartbroken, she decides to move forward with the annulment. But then, Simon sees the papers and decides to play matchmaker. He traps both Jo and Ryan in detention, forcing them to talk things out and—yes—make out. They celebrate at the school carnival, where Jo gets dunk tanked, and then they kiss in front of all the kids.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie begins with these kids sneaking into a carnival after hours and turning everything back on. The ride goes nuts and they're able to get away before the security guard catches them. Cut to this rich dude speeding down a rural road. His name is Michael and he's driving to meet with a social worker at his sisters house. His sister & brother-in-law passed away and he thinks he's just going to sign some paper work. Turns out, he needs to watch his nephews until she finds a foster family for them. The kids are a lot. They live on this massive farm and just do whatever they want and Michael doesn't have time for this. He's got a big work presentation he is working on but the kids won't let him work. These kids keep messing with Michael and he has no idea what to do, so it's a lot of that. Michael keeps having to go into town to take calls because he's worried his boss is going to give his big project to his rival, Dog Face Devin. And keeps bumping into the social worker. Slowly, he begins to find his footing around the kids and they begin to understand each other a little more. When the opportunity presents itself for the kids to go live elsewhere but they'd be split up, Michael opts to stick around. There is this family in town that may be interested in adopting all the kids. Best part? They're rich. They get invited to come to their Christmas party and it's going great until the kids put a brick on the gas of a golf cart and it plows through a massive nativity set into the swimming pool. There's another prospective foster mom but after meeting with her, it becomes clear she's just in it for the money. Then Mike is hit with a big blow - his project is being taken from him and given to Dog Face Devin. The kids mom taught ballet and the kids are pretty good themselves. One of the kids, Junior, even wrote a "Much Better Nutcracker". Mike, who suddenly has a lot of free time, tells the kids that they're going to put the show on! They work hard to prepare for the event and they're all ready to go. Before the show, he's talking to Gretchen, the social worker. When she finds out that all of this is just to get attention on the kids to find them a foster family, she tells him that the kids are growing attached to him. He tells them that he loves them but there's no way he could take care of 4 pain in the butt kids. Unfortunately, one of the kids overhears this. Before he can fix things, he gets a call - his boss wants him back. He goes to tell the kids it's time to start the show but he discovers that they're gone. Michael goes on stage and tells the people that the show is cancelled. When everyone leaves, they see that the kids are doing the show outside at their parents memorial. The show is a big success. During the performance, the oldest boy, Justice, stabs Mike with his prop sword as he feigns an injury. He finally comes to the realization that he loves his nephews. After the show, he promises he's not going to leave them. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Alex is reluctant to go to her sister's baby shower. She knows her family will just bombard her with the usual questions—why she isn’t married to her boyfriend, Finn, yet, and why he’s only working at a record store. Meanwhile, Finn heads up to her room, strips down, and starts dancing to "Buttons," expecting Alex to walk in soon. But instead of Alex, her sister's kids walk in. Awkwardness ensues. At the end of the night, Alex talks to her mom, with whom she has a great relationship. She even works for her mom's company. But then her mom drops a bombshell—she’s dying. Cut to some time later: Alex is lying in bed alone. Her mom has passed. She heads to the lawyer's office for the reading of the will. Expecting to see Old Man Sullivan, she’s surprised when a young lawyer named Brad walks in instead. And Brad only brings bad news. First, Alex and her family must keep the house for at least a year and can't sell anything inside it—not that she minds. But she’s shocked to learn that her mom made her sister-in-law the new CEO of the business. As for Alex, she won’t receive her inheritance right away. Instead, Brad hands her an envelope with instructions to open it when she’s alone. Back home, she puts in the DVD from the envelope. Her mom appears on the screen, explaining that she wants Alex to live her best life, starting with completing her old "Life List." Every time she checks something off, she’ll receive another DVD from her mom. And when she finishes the list, she’ll get a final envelope. What’s inside? Who can say. Determined to start fresh, Alex breaks up with Finn. She begins tackling the list—reading Moby-Dick, learning the piano—but it’s harder than she expected. So, she pivots, tries stand-up comedy, and earns her first DVD. Meanwhile, Brad keeps showing up, being unexpectedly nice to her. She’s starting to enjoy herself overall, but then she reconnects with her dad—only to learn he’s not actually her biological father. Her mom had an affair with a man named Johnny Alvarez. He is her real father. She starts working at a school and meets a guy named Garrett. They start dating, and things are going great—until she throws a dinner party with her friends, and Garrett hates them. That’s… unfortunate. After a long search, she finally tracks down Johnny. She takes a road trip with Brad and his girlfriend, Nina, to meet him. But Nina starts sensing something between Brad and Alex—and she’s right. Nina eventually heads home, and Alex and Brad end up sleeping together. The next morning, Alex meets Johnny, and they agree to get breakfast the following day. But he never shows up. On the way home, she and Brad get into a huge fight. He tells her she should break up with Garrett because "that guy sucks." She does. Then, in frustration, she tears up her list—after all, the only thing left is to "find true love." But then Old Man Sullivan gives her the final DVD and envelope anyway, and it’s all very sweet. Finally, she realizes—she does love Brad. She goes to find him. They kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie starts with Tory talking to a picture of a baby on her phone. She tells the baby in the picture that she’s going to be her mom soon. Then, she gets a call from her boyfriend, Brad, who apparently breaks up with her when he finds out she’s adopting a baby. Tory goes to her goddaughter’s play at the local school and bumps into her friend, Nila. While there, they meet Harper, who is really struggling, and then see Vice Principal Bell. Together, they form The Love Club...Moms. Tory is having a MOM EMERGENCY! She needs a nanny. So, they all come together to interview some applicants. We then meet Finn, an aspiring author. He shows up at Tory’s publishing company with a manuscript, but he can tell they’re not interested. So, he tracks down where CEO Tory lives to bring it to her personally. He knocks on the door, and they assume he’s another nanny applicant. He ends up being really great with the baby. Finn decides not to tell Tory his real intentions; instead, he plans to get his manuscript in front of her and hope she loves it. He goes to her office with the baby and leaves the manuscript there, but then the baby spits up all over it, so he tosses it in the trash. Meanwhile, there’s a new guy at Tory’s work named Greg, who is clearly into her. He doesn’t even get mad when baby spit-up lands on his sweater—what a guy. He even asks her out on a date. Finn babysits while Tory goes on the date with Greg. While at her place, Finn finds a manuscript in her bedroom and starts reading it. When she gets home, she fires him for being a creep. But then, she hires him back because The Love Club tells her to chill, and they start picking up on the fact that she and Finn have chemistry. Plus, they do not like Greg. Tory starts hanging out with Finn and actually enjoying herself. They even go on a business trip together (with the baby!) to convince an author to sign with her company—which he does. But then, Finn recognizes the author’s work and tells Tory that this guy is plagiarizing. Tory reads Finn’s manuscript and tells him that it womps. Sorry, kid. Greg keeps shooting his shot, but Tory ultimately turns him down. Then, the truth comes out—Finn was never really a nanny. Tory tells him to scram. But The Love Club tracks Finn down and tells him he actually is a great nanny and shouldn’t give up. He hands them a new manuscript to give to Tory. She finds him, and they kiss.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with this kid, Jack. He doesn't believe in Santa and doesn’t think anyone else should either. He tells all of his cousins that Santa doesn't exist and even shows them where their parents are hiding the gifts—very naughty. Fast forward 30 years, and Jack is now an adult—still very naughty. He's stealing important information and selling it to people on the dark web. Cut to Santa, who is doing some mall duty. He does this occasionally to remind himself why he does what he does. By his side is Callum Drift, the head of Santa’s security. When they return to the North Pole, Cal tells Santa that he’s retiring. There’s just too much naughty out there. But there's no time to mourn because Santa gets kidnapped! They suspect it has something to do with the information Jack stole. So they track him down for questioning, and Jack is completely shocked to find out that Santa is real—along with some other mythical creatures. They hire Jack to help find Santa because Jack is really good at tracking things down. Cal is annoyed that he has to team up with Jack. They track down Ted, the broker who bought the stolen information. Ted reveals that the kidnapper is the winter witch, Grýla. Suddenly, Grýla takes over Ted’s body, warns them, and then sends snowmen to kill them. They manage to fight them off, but not before Ted gets frozen. They suspect that Grýla may be working with Santa’s estranged brother, Krampus, who originally created the Naughty List. Cal and Jack break into Krampus' lair but are captured and forced to slap-fight Krampus. They discover that Grýla came to Krampus to retrieve a magical snow globe that can imprison people. Grýla’s plan is to duplicate the magical snow globe and imprison anyone who has ever been on the Naughty List. She decides to test the snow globes on Jack and his son, Dylan, with whom he has a strained relationship. Cal realizes that the only place capable of duplicating such magic is the North Pole. That means they never actually left the North Pole, and Santa is trapped in a vault that is draining his power. Inside their snow globes, Jack and Dylan have a heartfelt conversation, which makes them “nice” and causes the globes to shatter. Grýla is about to take off with an unconscious Santa, planning to use his sleigh to deliver the cursed snow globes—but not if Cal and Jack have anything to say about it! They fight, causing the sleigh to crash-land. This enrages Grýla, who drops her human disguise and goes full giant-witch mode on them. Luckily, Krampus shows up to save his brother. But Grýla is too powerful. Santa finally wakes up, and with the help of his reindeer, they manage to capture her and imprison her in a snow globe. Now, the rush is on to deliver all the presents in time. Santa invites Jack and Dylan to join him. As Cal watches them, amazed, he realizes maybe it’s all worth it after all. He tells Santa he’s not going to retire. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH These parents are downstairs arguing about where the angel is that's supposed to go on top of the tree. Their young son, Liam, overhears them. He decides to write a letter to Santa. He comes downstairs and tells his parents about the letter and we get a lot of info - he's in the 6th grade so his dad is concerned he's still writing to Santa. They moved to this town 3 months ago but his parents are still surprised to find out he made a friend. For some reason, Liam lies and says Gibby has cancer. Needless to say, Liam is a bit awkard and we also find out that he has dyslexia. The next day at school, he is captivated by his crush Emma who even stands up for him when kids make fun of his dyslexia. After school, he goes to drop off his letter to santa but accidentally misspells "Santa" as "Satan". Next thing you know, Satan shows up in the middle of the night. Liam still believes he is Santa despite the fact that he doesn't look like Santa and he has devil horns. Satan figures out what happened and decides to play along and offers to grant Liam three wishes. Not sure what to wish for, Liam wishes that Emma would give him a chance. At school, he notices that Emma is really staring at him. Satan appears in a mini version and tells him to go shoot his shot. He invites her to the Post Malone concert and she is very excited. Liam tells Gibby about his encounter with "Santa". Gribby is like it has to be a mistake. So Liam confronts Santa and figures out he's Satan and tries to get out of the deal. Satan says that when he makes his final two wishes, which he guarentees Liam will make, then Liam's soul belongs to him. Liam gets home and is greeted by his parents and a child psychologist. His session is interrupted by Gibby and Satan, who take Liam to the concert. With a little help from Satan, Liam is called onto the stage by Post Malone who calls Liam his inspiration. He dances and brings Emma on stage. Afterwards, she kisses him on the cheek! Everything is going great except Gibby is starting to feel a little left out. Later at home, Liam uses his second wish to fix Gibby's teeth and invites Gibby to join his date with Emma at the local Christmas carnival. His parents become incredibly concerned when they overhear the conversation about Satan. So they go and pick him up at the carnival and bring him to the good doctors clinic. Satan tries to make Liam use up his third wish by showing him images of Gibby and Emma apparently enjoying the carnival without him but he's not falling for it. His parents then see a video of Liam at the Post Malone concert and they realize that he wasn't lying to them afterall. Liam locks himself in his room and facetimes Gibby and yells at him for hanging out with Emma and tells him that he's the one who fixed his teeth. Liam then overhears his parents aguing about the death of his brother Spencer. Liam, fearing that his parents are going to call it quits, goes to the hotel that Satan is staying at and wishes that his parents would stay together and be happy. It immediately works and his parents have a real heart to heart. But now knowing that he's going to hell, Liam decides to give into bad. He's ruthlessly mean to everyone. Emma tells him he's being a jerk and he begins to feel bad. Meanwhile, in Hell, we find out that Satan is in fact not Satan, but just a low level demon, who has failed his trial to become a full demon: by granting two unselfish wishes, he has rendered the deal for Liam's soul invalid and is banished from hell forever. Satan visits Liam and tells him about the deal's cancellation, and Liam figures out that he is not the real Satan. Before leaving, Satan confesses how much he has come to like him and explains that the third wish was negated because Bill and Molly made up on their own, so he used the contents of Liam's original letter to fulfill a third and final wish. Now wanting to use his powers to help others, Satan takes the form of an angelic dove and flies away.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Baby Jack is back and better than ever, out there throwing the baseball with Nathan. It's almost as if the ordeal of diabetes is behind them—her words, not mine. Graduation is quickly approaching for the first time in 12 seasons. Nathan and Elizabeth are as in love as ever, matching outfits and all. Rosemary is talking to Bill about how she isn't going to publish this story without knowing where the gold is. She suggests interviewing Edie—maybe she'll open up more about what she knows. Nathan is talking to Oliver and gives him a form stating that he'll be stationed in Fort McNeil after he graduates. Oliver doesn't seem thrilled. Rosemary goes to talk to Edie and notices a map behind her. Edie tells Rosemary that her uncle drew it. Silly uncle, always drawing maps. The kids all present their project-based learning projects in front of parents, and Lucas is impressed. He tells Elizabeth he's going to talk to the district about implementing this at other schools. Elizabeth gets a letter from her grandma, telling her that Cape Fullerton has great doctors and essentially encouraging her to move for the sake of Baby Jack. But Baby Jack is fine. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. Lucas and Edie are playing cards, talking about her uncle, and they decide that maybe they should try to find the gold coins and return them to their owners. Bill, Rosemary, and Nathan are looking at the map when they suddenly notice that the well is GIANT on it. Maybe it's a clue. Maybe this map is actually a treasure map! Oliver fails his final exam on purpose because he doesn't want to leave Hope Valley. Elizabeth goes to talk to him, and then they play tag. Edie and Lucas decide to go dig at the well when Rosemary, Nathan, and Bill show up too. They all start digging together and find a chest full of coins! They go back to the office to discuss. When Edie realizes the map is a treasure map, she figures there might be a secret message from her uncle. She holds it up to a candle, and a message appears. He explains how he found the gold and used it to pay for Edie's law school. He says the rest of the gold is hers too. There's a sweet storyline about the townsfolk rallying around Angela and Minnie, which is nice. It's graduation, and since it's being held at the saloon, there's a dance afterward. Lucas tells Elizabeth that the school board is interested in hearing more about the curriculum, but she's not sure about leaving Baby Jack right now. The season looks to be ending peacefully until late that night when Elizabeth notices Baby Jack lying motionless on the couch. She screams for help. Faith rushes over and says, "We got a bad batch." She tells Elizabeth that maybe Cape Fullerton would be best for Baby Jack after all. So they hop in a car, and she gives Rosemary a note to give to Nathan. Nathan and Allie go after them, honking the horn. They all get in the car, and Nathan tells Elizabeth that wherever she goes, he goes—and then they kiss.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Ethan works for TSA at LAX On the busiest travel day, according to him - Christmas Eve. His pregnant girlfriend, Nora is trying to get Ethan to try to go through the police academy again even though he failed last time. But that seems hard so he decides he going to really try to move upward in the TSA, so he gets to work and asks his supervisor, Phil, to assign him to manage a baggage-scanning lane, cuz that's what the big dogs do. While on duty, Ethan finds an ear bud and is instructed to put it in. He begins to hear the voice of a bad guy we know just as the Traveler, who threatens to kill Nora unless Ethan allows a specific carry-on bag to pass through the scanner without interference. The Traveler’s accomplice, the Watcher, monitors Ethan remotely via the airport security cameras, making sure he can’t call for help or do any funny business. Ethan secretly tries to alert his co-worker with a message written in invisible ink, but before he can act, the Traveler poisons him and causing him to have a heart attack. Jason's boss notices Ethan is kinda all over the place so he replaces him with his friend Jason. When the Traveler threatens to kill Jason if Ethan doesn’t comply, Ethan plants an alcoholic drink at Jason’s workstation and rats him out for being drunk on the job. Back in control of the scanner, Ethan lets the instructed carry-on bag through but later finds out that it contains this deadly nerve agent. Meanwhile, LAPD detective Elena Cole investigates a double homicide tied to the smuggling of said nerve gas. She suspects shady doings at LAX so she orders a terminal-wide sweep and Ethan secretly flags the bag guy for inspection. Suspecting Ethan’s interference, the Traveler confronts him in a restroom, leading to a scuffle where Ethan manages to seize the Traveler’s plastic gun. The Traveler is like big whoop and arms the bomb. So Ethan has to go stop the bag guy from being inspected and hopefully disarm the bomb, which he does but not before his boss is killed by the bag guy who then reveals to Ethan he’s also being blackmailed—his husband, Jesse, is being held hostage by the Watcher. The Traveler shows up and grabs the bag case and orders the Watcher to kill Nora, but Ethan uses the original bag guys phone to warn her and she escapes. On the way to the airport Detective Cole realizes this officer she is with is an imposter working for the Traveler and kills him. She then gets to the airport, finds Ethan, only to find out that Ethan is trying to stop the bomb and pleads for her to trust him. They discover the Traveler’s target is a Congresswoman who’s on a flight to Washington, D.C for a meeting about weapon funding. The planned attack is going to to implicate Russia, and would then get massive defense spending approved and bad guys like that. The Traveler boards the flight, unaware Ethan has swapped the bomb into a similar but larger suitcase, forcing him to stow it in the plane’s cargo hold. Ethan sneaks into the hold to disarm the bomb while Nora persuades Cole to let the flight take off, so that the Traveler wouldn't suspect anything shady. but he gets a notification that someone is working on the bomb, so he figures it out and goes down to stop Ethan. Before the Traveler can rearm the bomb and escape via parachute, Ethan locks him in an airtight refrigeration unit with the nerve agent, killing him. The plane safely returns to the airport. A year later, Ethan, now a police officer, travels with Nora, their son, and Jason’s family on a trip to Tahiti. At a TSA checkpoint, Ethan places his LAPD badge in the scanning tray, having finally achieved his dream.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Emilia is sneaking around this massive house with a flashlight. She stumbles upon Jason, and he's like, "I'm here to help." They open up the freezer and see a body. Turns out they're actually just envisioning what their new murder mystery will be. They are working to get Mystery Island back up and running, and they decide to run a contest. It'll be good for publicity, and the contest winners will be able to solve a mystery! The winners show up, including Detective Bobby Teller from the NYPD, Alice, who runs a mystery podcast, and CC, who is a mystery author. It's a whole fun crew! Emilia notices that Fredricks, who is like the storyteller of the mystery, is being a bit odd. She notices him talking to some of the guys in private. Just as the guy who is supposed to "die" begins to choke, an explosion happens outside that was not planned. So he stops "dying," and they all go outside and see Fredricks dying from the explosion. Jason goes to check on him, but he can only say the word "arrest" before he dies. This is now a real crime scene! So obviously, Emilia and Jason are on the case, and they figure out that Fredricks wasn't the target—rather, the COO of Mystery Island, Janey, was. Detective Bobby ends up dead after they started to suspect he may have done it. So basically, they figure it out. It was the actor they brought in to act like he was dying—James. He did it. There are so many reasons why he did it; it takes like 10 minutes to explain. But what really matters is that they have his DNA to prove it. So yay. He's arrested, and Mystery Island will have another mystery soon where someone else will almost definitely die.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Elizabeth runs outside, grappling with the fact that baby Jack has diabetes. Mei is looking through papers because she recalls seeing some sort of new diabetes test that's being conducted. She finds it and brings it to Faith to see if they should contact them about baby Jack. They bring the information to Elizabeth, and she says the results thus far have been miraculous. They haven’t started taking children yet, but Frikem and Mei are going to make the case for Jack and hopefully return with some insulin. Rosemary is setting up a meal train and is freaking out. She can’t imagine what it would be like to get this news about baby Goldie. Elizabeth gives Frikem and Mei the letter, and off they go. Meanwhile, baby Jack's pony is missing. Lucas finds out that his approval ratings are tanking. He decides he can do whatever he wants since he's not worried about getting reelected. The kids decide they’re going to broadcast a baseball game on the radio since little Jack is too sick to come see it. All the kids work together to relay the information and make sure it gets on the air. Faith gets bad news – they’re not going to transfer the insulin for one trial. But if they can get 10 people, they’ll consider it. So the town works together to try to find 9 other people with diabetes. Rosemary even goes on the radio for a very special episode. Elizabeth takes baby Jack to see Faith, who suggests that he stay there so she can keep an eye on him. They have 9 people, so Elizabeth calls and begs them to make an exception, which they do. The medicine arrives, Jack gets his first shot, and BAM! He’s golden. They all go to church, then head back to Elizabeth’s place. Elizabeth and Nathan snuggle and have a heart-to-heart.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Prince Henry is a simple man — he just likes to fence and care for his daughter, Princess Rose, who is going through a tough time. So he decides to take her to an American theme park, Once Upon a Time Land. We meet Lacey, who plays Princess Sweet Pea. When Princess Rose meets her, she immediately becomes a big fan, and Lacey ends up waltzing with Henry. Obviously, at the time, Lacey doesn’t know they are real royalty. But the next day, she is pulled aside at work and told the truth about who they are — and that they want Princess Sweet Pea to show them around the park personally. She does, and they get to talking. It turns out that Rose is deathly afraid of horses, but with Lacey's help, she’s able to conquer that fear and get on the merry-go-round! Impressed, Henry asks if she would be willing to come back with them to his home and help Rose ride a horse. Apparently, it’s a big tradition for the Order of the Lily ceremony. Lacey agrees. When she gets there, she is constantly catching strays from Henry's mom and this one guy who really hates her. But none of it matters because she's helping Rose with her fear of horses and spending more time with Henry — and the sparks are flying. They even end up kissing when he shows her his special spot. The Order of the Lily ceremony arrives, and Rose is really nervous. So Lacey rides alongside her, and it’s a big success. But the guy who hates her is furious and tells Lacey, “If you think you’re going to get Henry to fall in love with you, you’re out of your mind. You’re just a theme park princess.” Things go from bad to worse when Lacey loses her theme park job after a photo leaks of her in her Princess Sweet Pea costume talking to Henry. Why is that a fireable offense? Who can say? Heartbroken, she decides to leave before the ball. When she goes to return her costume to her old job, her boss tells her she has one more gig — and sends her out. When she does, it turns out the gig is just Henry and Rose. Henry tells her, “I love you. Please come back.” She does. Cut to six months later: Henry proposes, Lacey says yes, and they kiss.

The next morning, the power is still out, and lines are down everywhere. Josh shows up to bring Nora some coffee, and she is surprised he's still here but not upset. He comes in to help her finish putting the bike together. She asks why he's not on his flight, and he says it's canceled, but he's not sorry. He asks if something is happening between them, and she says what's happening feels like a repeat of high school — they're in different worlds. She tells him he should go so Theo doesn’t get confused, but she thanks him, and as he leaves, he touches her arm. Lucy and Annie go to find Lucy's sister Sylvie. They find her at the bakery, and Sylvie apologizes for making things so crazy. Lucy responds that she needs a little crazy — and the guy. The Manetti-Hanahans invite the neighbors over, but Kevin, Gabby, and their dad aren't interested. Their mom insists they're going. Chuck heads over to invite them, and he comes face-to-face with Manny. They agree on a Christmas truce. Once inside the house, Gabby and Katie make up, and Katie even helps Gabby finish her cooking audition video. Danny is talking to Chuck when he notices Linda.

He acknowledges it’s obvious she and Danny are the real deal. She thanks him for making her feel good even while getting dumped. Grandma Lin and Connie discuss health scares, and Grandma calls in a favor. Annie goes to apologize to Max for kissing him, but then he kisses her back and says he’s glad they both feel the same way. Grandma Lin asks Ted if he’s excited about the wedding. He finally comes out to her, and she says he’s broken her heart — not because he’s gay, but because he didn’t feel like he could be honest with her. The kids run in, announcing that the llama, Dasher, is missing! Chuck seizes the chance to put on his camo and lead a rescue mission — but Kevin shows up with Dasher before he gets far. Chuck apologizes to Kevin for what he said about Katie and invites him inside. Kevin sees Katie and Gabby hugging and apologizes to Katie. He puts the ring back on her finger, and they kiss. Danny wastes no time and shoots his shot with Linda, giving her two tickets to Norway to see the northern lights. They kiss.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The episode starts with a full montage showing Alice time traveling to the '90s for the first time—the moment from way back in season 1. She meets Colton, and when he hears she was swimming in the pond, he is immediately suspicious of her. He remembers that she’s the one he met back in the '70s. Back in the present, things aren't looking good for Jacob. Charges may be pressed against him for attempted arson—I mean, they have him on tape! Present-day Alice goes back to the '90s to see Kat and Elliot play M.A.S.H. together—something she learned she was present for from her mom—and she’s excited to go back and see teenage Kat and Elliot again. Afterwards, she heads to the pond to go home. As she’s about to jump back in, Colton stops her and says, "You are who I thought you were! The same Alice from the '70s. It’s you!" She warns him not to ask any questions. She tells him the '70s were an amazing time she will cherish forever, and then jumps back in the pond. Elliot shows Jacob the thing he found in the clock—it turns out it’s a pendulum. Jacob says that’s how he feels, going back and forth between time. Elliot gets some mail from his dad, and inside is the ring. Alice is back at work, looking for a tape recorder to play some of Colton’s old recordings when Max walks in. They both talk about how they didn’t hate the kiss. Jacob goes to talk to Danny to apologize for using his garage code at work when he was attempting arson. He tells Danny he’s done enough to him, even though he doesn’t know the truth. Danny asks what he means, and Jacob just says, "Just that you thought for so long it was your fault." Danny tells him to scram. "Get. Leave." Alice and Kat are going through some of Colton’s old stuff when Alice recognizes a tape. It’s from the demo they recorded together, which includes a conversation Alice and Colton had about how much he loves Del. They play it for Del, and she asks them to take her to him via the pond. The three jump in together. Del and Kat pop up, but Alice is nowhere to be found. We see the pond took her somewhere else. As she gets out, Colton is there and says, "Jacob fell in the pond, didn’t he?!" We then see that earlier that day, Colton figured it out when he went to visit Evelyn and saw the painting of "My Katherine." He recognizes her. He knows that it’s his daughter who time-travels and remembers that she and adult Jacob were there when he traveled back to the 1800s. He figures out that Alice is his granddaughter. He tells her all of this and gives her his sweater. She tells him that Jacob does make it home, but he figures out he won’t be there to see it. He realizes he’s going to die. Alice jumps in the pond to leave, and Colton decides to give it one last shot—he jumps in, hoping to see his son again. Alice cries as she lands back in the present, taking off Colton’s sweater—the same one Elliot will one day find. The pond worked for Colton, and he watches his family on the night of the summer kickoff. He finds Jacob in the barn and tells him, "Remember that I love you, no matter what happens." Alice realizes she’s not back in the present; rather, she’s back to earlier in the season. She runs back to the pond, and past Alice sees someone running. Alice watches herself running toward the pond and realizes—no one is there to push her, and so it ends up being her that pushes herself. K.C. arrives at the Landry farm, confronting Jacob with hidden documents—Susannah’s will, which proves Lingermore rightfully belongs to the Landrys. K.C. says this document should stop any legal proceedings and should also stop those letters Del has been getting—letters that Jacob didn’t know about. Kat and Del end up back at Del’s wedding in the 1970s. Kat encounters crazy Grandma Fern again, who cryptically references 65 & 25, hinting at more yet to come. In the present, K.C. crosses paths with Alice near the pond. Alice says, "I’m your mom, and Max is your dad." K.C. tells her she’s wrong. Alice says, "But you are a Landry and also a Goodwin?" K.C. replies, "I don’t want to break any more rules." As they all return home, Alice tells Del & Kat all that she's learned. Del realizes that Colton was going to tell her the truth the night that he was killed and Kat realizes that he knew who she was that night. In a final montage, Jacob finds the mysterious letters Del has been getting. Del comes home to realize that Jacob is missing once again and left the letters scattered on the table. Sam calls Del and she tells him that Jacob is missing. Sam says that it’s going to be okay. He just knows it and we see that he is staring at the pond. Kat confesses her love to Elliot. He then reveals his mother’s letter, which includes a mysterious T.S. Eliot quote. They realize that Elliot’s mom didn’t just mysteriously leave when he was a baby—rather, she was time-traveling. Cut to the baby in the basket and two people standing by the pond. They place a letter into the basket and then jump. Someone then finds the baby and brings the baby to the steps of the Landry farm, where he’s found by Colton and Del. Baby Katherine is there. Will they become one big happy family?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH We've got some class project presentations going on. Baby Jack is sleeping through class, so he's probably dying. She lets them loose outside, and Nathan comes by for lunch and to tell her that he has been promoted to Head Constable. Edie comes to talk to Lucas. He is being sued for his executive order, and she is trying to get out from underneath McGinty's thumb. Bill is surprised to see his old pal Georgie back in town, and he's not upset about it. Elizabeth is helping student Emily come up with an idea for her project. She's been helping with the nut business, so they go to talk to Gowen, and he's like, "Oh, Emily is brilliant. She figured out something to do with sawdust." Sounds like she has a project idea after all. Frickem & Mei decide that they're going to throw a harvest festival, as Mei's family used to do every year. Nathan and Lucas go to talk to McGinty about his dirty contracts that are screwing farmers and Edie out of their land. McGinty is like, "I'd like a restraining order against the governor and Edie. Also, I'd like your daughter to pay a $25 trespassing fee." This makes Nathan really mad. When he goes to talk to Allie about it, she breaks down and says she'll pay it. Emily finds out that she missed the deadline to apply for college. Bill and Georgie go to question the dumb Garrison they have arrested, who gives them some valuable information, none of which I'll bore you with here. Allie goes to ask Elizabeth if she can change her project. She doesn't want to study the salmon anymore because of the trespassing situation. She's like, "We're not going to let him get away with this easily. Mr. McGinty is doing something wrong, and he shouldn't get away with it." When they go to talk to Nathan, Oliver is like, "I figured out how to get him. He's been using trees that only grow on Lee's land." So, they bring McGinty in and tell him that unless he forgives all the debts and the trespassing, Lee is going to press charges on him. Georgie goes to thank Rosemary for her help in the Garrison case, which makes her very happy. Georgie then tells Bill that she's leaving, and he kisses her! The next day, baby Jack goes missing! Nathan finds him unconscious in the woods. They bring him to Dr. Faith, and he's back, baby! Elizabeth tells Faith that he fell asleep in class and that he's always hungry. Faith runs some tests, and her worst fear is confirmed. She goes to tell Elizabeth that Baby Jack has diabetes, and Elizabeth is shocked. There is no cure for diabetes.

Johnny works his magic, and off she goes. After work, he heads to the bar, where he’s selling his juice. The bartender isn’t thrilled to be selling juice, but it’s Johnny! Who can say no to Johnny?! Cut to a palace where Prudence is helping keep things running smoothly. She goes to talk to the Duke, who is wanting to retire but has no one to take his place. That is, until Prudence discovers that he has a long-lost son. So, she shows up to talk to that son. It’s Johnny. She arrives in the middle of his karaoke performance and tells him that his father, the Duke, would like to meet him. He’s not interested until she talks to his mom, who never really told him about his father. She encourages him to go and meet him, and so off he goes. Prudence is surprised when he shows up and begins to notice that he’s a bit rough around the edges. He won’t even change his clothes to abide by the dress code. They meet, and you can tell they’re related because they both touch their hair when they’re uncomfortable. Johnny tells the Duke that he doesn’t want any money, he just wants to know why he left. This does not go well, so Johnny leaves and heads to a bar. Prudence tracks him down to try to convince him to stay. They agree to let darts decide his fate. Obviously, she wins, so back to the palace he goes. He starts hanging out with Prudence, riding bikes, getting to know more about the palace, his father, and learning more about her. They ride horses, he makes juice, and he’s actually starting to enjoy himself. It’s time for his first royal fancy dinner. He has a cousin that he really dislikes. So, when he stands up and tells the Duke that he’s excited to take his spot, Johnny stands up and tells his dad that he’s had a change of heart—he’s in. His dad is thrilled. He’s feeling a bit stressed, so he goes to work on a car. His dad comes out to join him, and they chat. This becomes a nightly occurrence. The next day, Prudence teaches him how to slow dance, and they almost kiss. He finally has a heart-to-heart with his dad. He finds out that he never received the letter that Johnny’s mom sent telling him about Johnny. And she never got his letters. I guess his dad was monitoring the mail. It’s a sweet moment, and the next day they go for a ride in the car that Johnny fixed. Johnny takes his dad to his juice operation and invites them all to the royal dance. Everything is going great until the cousin brings some shocking news: turns out Johnny’s right to the throne is illegitimate because Johnny was born after the marriage to Johnny’s mom was annulled. Johnny says, “Well, at least I got to meet my dad.” He goes to leave, and Prudence tries to stop him, but he leaves. Prudence isn’t going to give up so easily and thinks she’s found something. She goes to make sure Johnny comes to the ball, where his mom is waiting for him. She announces that the annulment certificate isn’t authentic. The Duke is left-handed, and his signature leaves a smudge. This one doesn’t have a smudge, so it’s not his signature. In fact, the Duke and Johnny’s mom are probably still married! The cousin is furious and leaves. Johnny and the Duke hug. Johnny gives a speech, and then he slow-dances with Prudence as everyone watches. They go outside, kiss—BIG OL' HONKIN’ ONES—and then run away. The next day, Johnny and Prudence are hanging out by the horses. Dad comes in and lets them know that one of Johnny’s other cousins, Desmond, is getting married, and they’re going to give him a horse. Johnny still has much to learn about his family tree.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with royal music and flags so that you know what you're getting yourself into. We meet Prince Desmond, who is getting pictures taken with Princess Coralina because they are going to get married despite the fact that they don’t really know each other at all. Some time passes, and Desmond walks in to talk to Edwin, the butler, and catches him drawing devil horns on Princess Coralina. We find out that Princess Coralina broke things off with Desmond by eloping with a plumber. Desmond is doing quite fine with the breakup. His parents, on the other hand? King Richmond bets it’s political! Desmond promises to make sure their countries don’t go to war. He remembers that Coralina has a sister. Guess he could just marry her. Her name is Beatrix, and she lives in the States, working a normal job and going through a normal breakup. She begins getting a call from a foreign number but doesn’t want any part of it. She answers and tells them never to call back again in a different language. Then, she walks outside, and someone is watching her through binoculars. Her friend Chloe notices him, but Bea is like, “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure he’s just looking for birds.” But he is not there just looking for birds. They end up getting cornered by some SUVs in an alley. Chloe is like, “I’m not letting you get kidnapped without me,” so she tags along. They make it to Desmond, and she is not having it with this royal nonsense, but then he proposes. She needs some time. Ultimately, this marriage between the countries was mainly to maintain peace between the two countries, something the kings stopped working towards once the engagement between Desmond and Coralina was broken off. So Beatrix decides to say yes, only so their dads can continue working towards an agreement. She has one request: to stop using the royal "we" and start talking in "I's." On their first night together, she convinces him to sneak out with her and get pizza and go bowling. They get into some trouble, but they have some fun! Obviously, they start to enjoy each other's company. They go to visit his parents, and then they go to visit hers. They keep having these late-night meet-ups, all above board. The families end up coming to an agreement, which means they don’t have to get married. She gives him back the ring and says, “Hopefully, next time you give this to someone, it won’t be for politics.” They go to leave but realize that they do want to get married. So he runs after her, and she runs after him. He proposes, and she says yes. They kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

She thinks she’s purposely trying to make Gaby’s holiday miserable. She finally comes to talk to her brother about it when Katie brings back breakfast burritos from her favorite spot even though she knew Gaby was making burritos for breakfast. While out getting a Christmas tree, she tries to talk to Katie about how she bullied Gaby as kids, but Katie doesn’t want to talk about it, and then promptly cuts a Christmas tree down on her. Could be a coincidence, but then Katie takes a picture of her on the ground! She claims it’s for a Christmas photo album. Later, Katie corners Gaby and tells her to stop trying to get in the way of what she has with Kevin. Kevin goes next door to ask Katie’s dad for his blessing of propose to Katie. Needless to say, he does not give his blessing and sharpens his ax instead. Gaby sneaks a spicy pepper into her dinner, which is bad timing, because Kevin proposes anyway.

We see the video of them as kids when Katie got the entire school to chant EASY BAKE at Gaby’s science project presentation. The next day, she goes to talk to Gaby and says they need to talk things out. Katie explains that it happened out of jealousy for Gaby ignoring her as a kid and hanging out with the other smart kids. She felt abandoned. They make up. Episode over. Except it’s not, because Kevin opened up Gaby’s laptop and sees the easy bake video! He tells her maybe he doesn’t know her after all. Everyone is pretty sad but they still have to go volunteer at the Christmas festival. Kevin dresses up like Santa but he is just sad. Katie shows up as Mrs Claus and slams the ring down and her dad tackles Kevin off the stage. The episode ends with Gaby making a sad baking video as the power goes off. Worst Christmas ever.

She finally decides to visit her family and can’t get over the fact that her parents still babysit Izzy. She finally comes right out and says that she thinks she could turn Izzy’s life around.

She finds an investor, and a press release goes out before she can tell Izzy or the board. When they find out, Izzy is very hurt, and everyone is disgusted with Megan, including Dominic. Game over, bucko. Izzy decides not to take the deal and instead throws a big birthday party for Megan. They make up, and she ends up dancing with Dominic—where they kiss again.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Kat is telling Del about how she didn’t listen to Elliot, who told her that you can’t change the past, but she didn’t listen and went back, which ended up being the reason for Colton’s car crash. Del leaves. Alice, who was listening in, goes to check on her mom and asks why she didn’t tell her about being there that night. Alice, feeling emotional, heads back to the 70s right as the Watergate news was breaking. She immediately shows her hand and reveals she knows about the secret messages Colton left in the books. Alice comes back and goes to talk to Del, encouraging her to talk to Kat. Kat tries to jump back to the 1800s to convince Jacob to come home, but the pond doesn’t take her. Del is talking to Sam and asks why he was hanging out with Casey Goodwin. He explains that Casey is a client. They showed up one day asking for legal advice. Casey called the other day and said they were in town and wanted to catch up. Del asks why someone so young would need legal advice, and he says, “You know I can’t answer that.” Alice goes to Lingermore to work on the project with Max. She asks if they can work in the attic, and he says no one has been in there for decades. She replies, “Dope, let’s go.” Jacob powwows with Susanna and Thomas, and she says she knows that Kat fights for those she loves. She encourages him to go back home and talk to her, but Cyrus shows up, and he’s not thrilled. Jacob goes and jumps in the pond to come home, but Thomas tries to jump in too, and it doesn’t work. Alice looks in the secret door and finds an old cell phone and a bishop chess piece. Max is very confused and then gets irrationally mad at her when she brings up his grandma. Alice then goes and tells Del the truth about who was in the road that night. Nick is still in town and is pushing for everyone to come together for a karaoke night. Alice shows Kat what she found, and Kat says she thinks Casey was squatting in the Lingmore house last year. Casey walks in and is like, “IT’S ME!” And it’s true. Kbye. Del gets another mysterious letter saying they know the truth. Her friend says it’s probably Sam, the person you least suspect. It’s time for karaoke. Nick signs Kat and Elliot up for karaoke, and Del ends up showing up. Kat gives her a big hug. They make up, and Del says she wants to jump in the pond to find Jacob, but he ends up walking in. Elliot tells Kat that his ex-wife kissed him, and he kissed her back. She doesn’t love that and leaves. Alice jumps back to the 70s to watch Colton say goodbye to Del when she leaves at the end of summer. He tries to get her to stay, but she doesn’t want to. It’s easier to leave. Turns out he was going to propose. Womp womp. Jacob goes to put on Colton’s record when he sees a picture of young Colton and says, “THAT GUY CAME TO THE FARM IN THE 1800S AND TOLD US WHAT TO PLANT!” Kat tells Elliot that she needs some space and then immediately jumps in the pond and makes out with Thomas. Alice gets back from the 70s and sees Casey. She asks Casey about the ring, and Casey says, “It’s a family ring.” Alice asks, “Goodwin family?” and Casey says, “No…” and then just starts running.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Everyone in Hope Valley is so inspired! Rosemary is going to put on a play, and Elizabeth is considering sending her curriculum to publishers! Elizabeth surprises Nathan with tickets to Union City to see the latest Buster Keaton picture, and the dude is pumped!!! Rosemary is holding auditions for the play, but some of the performances are less than inspiring. So Elizabeth whispers an idea to her… it’s Bill. Rosemary tricks Bill into auditioning. Allie and Oliver have a plan to save the salmon, and Lucas could use some good news. After the movie in Union City, Nathan bumps into that guy Toddy from the poker game. He invites them over for a party, which Nathan is uncomfortable with because that would require them to go undercover as Danny and Dianne. At play rehearsal, Ava shows up and shows off her acting skills, but Rosemary doesn't want her around. Back at the party, Danny and Dianne are having a great time, doing the Charleston and whatnot. What could go wrong? Well, when Toddy and his wife start asking questions about their love story, their stories aren’t exactly in sync. It seems like Toddy is a bit skeptical of them, and he makes them go on stage to sing. Lucas goes to talk to Edie about Allie’s salmon plan, and it’s clear these two are digging each other. She ends up showing up later at his office for a "game of cards." But Lucas knows she’s up to something. Turns out she doesn't think the idea he pitched is a good one, and she encourages him not to move forward with it.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Liv is thriving working from home. She just wakes up, makes her matcha, throws on a top for a video call while keeping the pajama pants on. It's the good life. Tom works for the same company—Artist Access—and he's thriving a little less. He's always showing up to video calls late. Lucky for him, he's going to continue being Head Designer with this new CEO, Waler, coming on board. The CEO has big dreams, including a return-to-office plan. It’s a hybrid schedule—some will be in the office on Monday & Wednesday, others on Tuesday & Thursday. She's immediately off to a rocky start—she's late due to traffic and gets a desk that's not by the window. She's supposed to put all of her belongings away when she's done for the day, but she wants to leave her succulent out, so she leaves a note and signs it Ms. Monday. He sees this as an opportunity to leave some of his stuff out on the desk, which she does not love. At first, she isn't happy about that, but then he sends her a pastry, and all bets are off. They get real flirty, real fast. They end up meeting in person at a work event but still don't know that they're pen pals. They compete together in a work team-building event and they win!!! They win some sort of romantic prize, and they confirm to each other that they are talking to someone, obviously thinking of each other without knowing that they're the each other they're thinking of. After weeks and weeks of talking anonymously, they agree to meet. But she finds out who he is beforehand while she's at a retirement community that Tom's grandma is also at, and she talks about how her grandson is head over heels for someone named Ms. Monday. She goes to talk to him before they go and make a pitch to Walter, and he's just gushing about someone named Ms. Monday. She tries to get him to see that she's Ms. Monday, but he's clueless. The pitch does not go well, which bums him out, but at least he's meeting Ms. Monday tonight! She shows up for the date but decides not to immediately tell him that she's Ms. Monday. She goes to the bathroom and messages him that she's not going to make it. When she comes out, he's like, "Well, my date bailed, wanna sit with me?" They talk, and he ends up saying that he felt like she didn't have his back in the presentation, and then he ends up leaving. She's sad. But they end up having part 2 of their date/work prize, and the sparks are flying. Dummy Tom is like, "You have so many similarities to Ms. Monday!" The next day, Walter shows a logo he had AI made and he wants to go with it. Tom quits. After hearing that Walter wants to get rid of all the designers in favor of AI, Liv quits too…via sticky note. She finally decides to come clean and asks him to meet up again as Ms. Monday. He's so glad that it's her. They kiss and decide they're going to start a business together.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Lucy wakes up to some bumping around the house. She thinks it's an intruder, so she grabs her handy-dandy hanger. It’s not an intruder, though, just her sister Sylvie. She’s putting Lucy's Hanukkah lights on the tree because she thinks it would be fun, but Lucy doesn't want that and doesn’t want her help! Sylvie clarifies she wasn’t hitting on Cole, and it’s clear that Cole is into her. The next day, Sylvie is talking to Lucy’s daughter, Annie, sharing stories of her adventures. She asks Annie about this boy, Max, that she likes. Sylvie says that sometimes boys just need a little nudge. A health inspector comes to Lucy's bakery and tells her that she has until the end of the year to widen the hallway. She’s going to have to call Cole! Bummer. Sylvie finds a secret door. Inside is a joy box full of wild clothes. She tells Annie she should wear some of these wild clothes and a super cool menorah. Apparently, Joy was their mom. She finds a recipe for Joy Bars and runs down to tell Lucy she has to make them to sell at the bakery! Lucy is reluctant, but Sylvie insists these bars will sell! And while we're at it, we need to make this place more festive! When Lucy sees that Annie is wearing Joy’s clothes, she’s not happy. But after talking to Sylvie and seeing how happy Annie is to be learning more about her Nana, she lets it go. Sylvie and Annie decorate the bakery and even bring in a 70s jukebox. Lucy is feeling inspired and finally asks Cole out on a date, and Sylvie helps her get ready. While out on the date, Lucy opens up about how she and Sylvie haven’t been that close since their mom died. It's going great, but she ends up putting on the lip plumper that Sylvie gives her, and she has an allergic reaction. The next day, Lucy walks into her bakery to see that Sylvie used all the bakery’s inventory for Joy Bars, which are very different from anything else in the healthy bakery. It’s the night of the big festival, and Annie decides to be more like Sylvie and kisses Max on the cheek in a selfie. Max is like, "WTF?" and Annie runs away. Lucy goes to find her, and Sylvie hands out all the Joy Bars for free. Lucy ends up yelling at Sylvie. Sylvie decides it’s best if she leaves, even though there’s a bad storm. The power goes out, and while she’s talking to Annie and lighting the menorah, she realizes she made a mistake and has to go find Sylvie—just as the doors blow open with the wind... aka Joy, the ghost.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with a bad guy stealing some diamonds and then breaking a window. They steal some more jewelry and break another window. They find another box of goodies and break yet another window. Finally, they leave. While that’s happening, we see that Hannah is baking a pie! She finds out that Connie Mack wants to come and film in her bakery! CONNIE MACK! She’s a legend. And it gets better—they want Hannah to help! Obviously, Norman is around because he’s in love with her, and he doesn’t even know who Connie Mack is, but he’s still impressed. Chad comes by to pick up some muffins for the crew and to see Hannah’s face. Chad is a busy bee working on this burglary case. He’s convinced he has the right guy but needs more evidence that the same person is involved in 13 break-ins. It’s time for filming—Connie shows up and she’s a bit of a diva. Hannah immediately catches on to the fact that Connie doesn’t really know how to cook. Hannah tries to correct her at one point, which Connie doesn’t appreciate, and pours a pie on her head. The producer apologizes to her afterward and confirms that Connie doesn’t know how to cook. He asks her to go along with it for one more day. The next day, Hannah finds the producer, Hunt, dead. We see on his computer he was reading an article about the burglar—Chassley—that Chad was investigating. Obviously, Hannah begins to investigate herself. She catches Connie on the street, and it seems like she has a jaw problem she didn’t have before. And no one can get in touch with Hunt’s wife. Suspicious. She finds out that Hunt moved the booking to their town after finding out about the court case of Chassley, and that’s what he was looking at on his computer. Sure is odd. As she’s updating Chad on what she’s found, a car comes speeding toward them and he has to pull her out of the way. What gives?! They decide they’re going to set a trap by announcing very loudly that Hannah’s mom is going out of town and is leaving all her expensive jewelry behind! It works. They catch the bad guy. Turns out it’s Connie’s assistant, who is Chassley’s dad. She was going to stage a break-in that looked exactly like Chassley’s to keep him from being convicted of all 13 break-ins. She killed Hunt because Hunt knew about what she was planning. Luckily, Chad calls her, figures out that she’s in trouble, and comes to save the day.

As that's happening, the red begins to fall from the sky, which people assume is blood. Cyrus sees Kat and blames her. Susanna says, "She's not a witch, I am."

They're taken captive, and Kat finds herself in Cyrus' office. He tells Kat that he thinks having a witch on his side would be good for him. He asks how to stop the sky from falling.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie kicks off with Morgan Freeman narrating about birthday wishes. Cut to Casey, who shows up at Field & Plate for her birthday! As she's waiting for her friend, another family arrives for a birthday celebration, led by the birthday boy himself, Henry. Their tables are side by side, and they end up talking a bit. But then it’s cake time, and Henry’s family realizes they’ve forgotten the cake. Casey overhears this and suggests they blow out her candles together since they’re birthday twins. Henry gets a call and goes to take it. He assumes it’s a spam call. He tells Casey, “Someone from Dance Your Heart Out just called me—whatever that is.” Casey is shocked: “Dance Your Heart Out?! I’ve always wanted to be on Dance Your Heart Out! Let me be your partner!” He’s not interested, but says, “You should take my spot.” She replies, “That’s not allowed! Please, do this with me!” He insists, “No.” She’s disappointed and walks out, talking to her friend from the Dead Letter Office. She says, “It’s really odd, because my birthday wish was to make it on the show!” Things get stranger when she receives a call saying she’s inherited a farm. She starts to suspect there’s been a wish swap because inheriting a farm feels like something Henry would wish for. So, she goes to confront him. He admits, “Yeah, I wished for a farm, but a wish swap is ridiculous.” She suggests, “Well, let’s try something. I have one more piece of cake. Let’s do it again and maybe it’ll reverse the wish swap.” It doesn’t work. So, they strike a deal: he’ll work and earn money to get his own farm if he agrees to go with her and compete on Dance Your Heart Out. From here, things follow a familiar path. They start hanging out—she’s doing farm work, he’s learning to dance. They do their first dance for the show and actually do well. They move on to the next round. For some reason, they get invited to perform at a stand-up club, and it happens. There’s a document on her computer with her birthday wishes, but she tells him, “You can’t see it.” So, he opens it when she’s not around. Her wishes are: 1. Dance, 2. Comedy, 3.Fall in love When she opens her laptop and sees the document is open, she knows he’s looked at it, so she goes to give him a piece of her mind. But then he says, “I love you,” and that’s all it takes. Forgiven. They compete in the finals and win. The movie ends with them dancing in the bed of a pickup truck, and they kiss.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Ted and Marcus go into a literal closet to talk about what just happened with Grandma out there. The rest of the family quickly joins them to discuss. Marcus is like, "I don't understand why you’re all so afraid to tell her the truth. Grandma doesn't like change!" Marcus isn’t happy and leaves. The next morning, Ted tells Marcus that he just needs more time and asks him to go along with it for just a little longer. Marcus reluctantly takes off his engagement ring. Grandma controls everything, including when Marcus and Ella are going to get married. She demands that they have a photoshoot to announce their engagement, and it doesn’t go well, considering that they aren’t really in love. But Ted gives them a pep talk, and things start looking up—until Grandma drags them to her fortune teller. It turns out they're perfect for each other, which is almost worse for Ted. Then, it’s revealed that they tricked the fortune teller, and that fortune was actually meant for Marcus and Ted. That makes Ted feel better. Things are beginning to look up until someone recognizes Ella from her social media. They’re a big fan of Ella and her takes on bucking tradition and marriage, so they're shocked to see that Ella is getting married and take a picture of her. Grandma gives Marcus her ring to give to Ella and then tells Ted that she wants him to take over the business. The engagement announcement goes out in the local papers, so they all spend the day going around and getting all the newspapers. Marcus opens up to Ted about how he’s actually been having fun because it’s given him time to plan the wedding in a way he actually wants to do it, not just the way Ted wants. Ted apologizes and promises not to railroad his opinion, saying that their marriage will be one of compromise. They’re about to kiss, but Grandma interrupts them and asks Marcus to come explain the food because Ted’s mom made all of Marcus’s favorite dishes. Grandma actually loves the food and tells them that she loves change—it was her husband who didn’t like change. She brings up the fact that all of her friends can’t find a newspaper anywhere. Just then, the power goes out. Ted runs outside to find a lantern, and Marcus follows him. They end up kissing in the rain as Grandma watches from inside, clearly surprised.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The episode kicks off in the 70s with Alice watching Colton perform. Kat shows up too and tells her about the jacket. Alice says she's confident there's an explanation. Colton plays a song that really surprises Kat. She asks hippie guy Jasper about it, and he says he taught it himself. It's an old folk song from the founding of the town. As she’s walking back to the pond, she sees Grandma sitting there. She goes to talk to her, and Grandma says that Colton isn’t special—she thought he was—but he’s a rule breaker. In 2025, it’s Del’s birthday, and she doesn’t want anyone to do anything for it. So, the boys ignore her and plan a surprise party. Brady is in town for some reason, so that’s fun. Back to the 70s, Alice is still hanging out with Evelyn. Evelyn suggests they use a Ouija board to contact Cassandra, someone who used to live in Evelyn’s room. Kat makes it back to the present and finds the music book. She reads the lyrics, and it's clear that it was written by Thomas about them. So, she goes over and kisses Elliot, saying, “Our love is good enough to write a song about, right?” So Evelyn, Alice, Colton, and Del are doing the Ouija board, and someone begins to communicate with them. It’s not Cassandra, but someone who says “fire,” “fast,” “blame,” and then the little planchette shoots toward Colton. He’s freaked out, and Del comforts him. Kat and Elliot are making out when there’s a knock at the door. It’s Emma... Elliot’s ex-wife! Evelyn and Alice are talking about what happened when Evelyn notices a hidden door. Inside is the painting of "MY Katherine." Evelyn says, "I recognize her," and Alice is like, “Uhhh, I gotta go.” Sam and Del surprise Jacob with a certificate of resurrection. They probably had to wait in a really long line for that one. Kat, Elliot, and Emma are all hanging out, and it’s awkward. Alice is getting coffee with her dad when Noah walks in. She introduces him to her dad and calls him her boyfriend. Brady is unimpressed. Kat dreams of making out with Thomas, so there’s that. It’s time for the party, and Alice sings a song from the 1800s book. The song is freaking Kat and Jacob out, so they take the book and find out that in 1816, there was a year with no sun. People thought the world was ending. Kat and Jacob are convinced they need to go back and tell everyone that the world isn’t ending. Alice talks to Del about Evelyn, and it doesn’t go well. Del tells her to stay out of her memories. Noah goes to comfort Alice, and they end up kissing. Brady and Jacob have a moment where Brady apologizes for distracting Kat the night he went missing, and Jacob is like, “I’ve never blamed you.” Elliot tries to convince Kat not to go back to the 1800s, but she says, “Jacob wants to jump, and I can’t let him go alone.” Alice is walking around when Max stops her and asks if she’s going to accuse him of having a sibling again. But he says Casey is a family name... Cassandra, actually. So that’s quite the coincidence. Kat and Jacob jump in and come back to the 1800s. They can’t find anyone but end up at the church, where they see Susanna walking out with Cyrus Goodwin, and they’re married! Susanna and Kat lock eyes. Then we see that Thomas is also looking on from afar. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH It's time for... PROJECT-BASED LEARNING!!! Judd finally tells Bill and Rosemary about the coin. He says he got it from a poker game in Union City. Judd is counting cards and didn't realize it. He says he got it from Toddy Davis. Nathan is not pleased with Allie's interest in this Wyatt kid but doesn't know how to address it. Lucas brings Rosemary his press release about the park. Rosemary is like, "I bet Lee would like to hear your thoughts on this... maybe not through a press release." Rosemary and Bill talk to Nathan about Toddy, and they agree that someone should go undercover to talk to him. Nathan says he should go as a poker player. They aren’t sure he can handle it. We see a random woman walking the streets when a car pulls up, driven by... FIONA! FIONA IS BACK! This girl's name is Ava, and her story is very similar to Elizabeth's. She says she read Elizabeth’s book, and that’s what led her to come to Hope Valley. Nathan hears about Ava and is immediately skeptical of the similarities in their stories. Fiona tells Faith and Mai Sue that she isn’t planning on staying. She also thinks she’s going to say yes to this guy who keeps proposing. She feels it's time for a change so she can do more good and make a bigger impact. Elizabeth walks into the saloon and sees him laying it on thick with Ava. This concerns her. She thinks this guy is going to break her heart. A couple of the guys trick Lucas and Lee into meeting to talk through their differences. Elizabeth tries to talk to Allie about Wyatt, but it doesn’t go well. Lee and Lucas make up, and that's nice. Nathan goes undercover and successfully gets Toddy to trust him. Allie asks Wyatt if he would go on a picnic with her. He tells her that she’s nice, but she’s just not his type. She’s very sad. She talks to Elizabeth about it, and it’s a real heart-to-heart.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH It’s Valentine’s Day in the big city, and everyone is in love... everyone except for Hannah. But Hannah is surrounded by Valentine’s Day cheer because she works for Alouette Chocolate. She claims she’s not over Valentine’s Day, but we all know the truth. We then meet Finn, an artist who also works as an Uber driver. Hannah ends up getting into his car and has to sit in the front because she’s feeling sick. While riding, Hannah finds an engagement ring on the floorboards! Whose ring is it?! Finn suggests he’ll just bring it to his boss—someone will get it back eventually. But Hannah insists that won’t do! "They probably need it for tonight—it’s Valentine’s Day!" she says. So, Finn reluctantly agrees to help track down the ring’s owner, but they have to make some stops along the way, including picking up a massive bouquet of roses. They first go to a cooking class to track down a couple, but there’s no luck. Then they head to a club to find a single woman, but still no luck. Finn keeps getting calls from his business partner, reminding him that he’s supposed to be at an event for his latest photo exhibit. But who cares? Because the sparks are flying! They dance together to Love Shack in the club—by now, they’re basically married. This night has everything: police escorts for no reason, a bakery food truck, and a silly wire in Finn’s car that keeps getting loose. He remembers his night started when a guy got into the wrong car for no reason. He also remembers the guy was supposed to be going to a restaurant, so they rush over there, climb the stairs (because the elevator is broken), and find him just in time! The guy proposes, she says yes, and fireworks start going off outside! Well, they did it. So, now what? Both of them have work events to get to, so... I guess that’s that. But it’s not. They can’t stop thinking about each other. As Hannah goes to leave, Finn is waiting outside, and he shoots his shot—they kiss!

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Josh is talking to his girlfriend, Stacy, complaining about the community service situation and talking about Nora. Stacy asks, "You call your local sheriff by her first name? Weird." So, Josh makes it to community service a little late and starts complaining about Nora to this woman, but she's not having it. Everyone loves Nora. Nora's son, Theo, is there, recognizes him, and asks him to help with a project. They're in need of some art supplies, so Nora reluctantly agrees to give him a ride, and they clash constantly. After trying to help Theo make the perfect ornament, Theo invites Josh over to their house. He reads Theo a bedtime story and then discovers that apparently, he doesn't know how to hug. So, after Theo goes to sleep, Nora helps Josh learn how to hug. The next day, they work on the ornament but need inspiration, so they head to the Christmas carnival. They're having a blast until Stacy shows up unexpectedly. Theo is hurt when he finds out that Josh is going to Sydney, and Nora tells him that Josh is good on his community service. Josh and Sarah go to spend Christmas with his parents, and he gifts them a place at a retirement home. They are clearly offended by this. Josh feels discouraged and goes for a walk, struck by inspiration. He runs back to give Theo an ornament that is perfect for what he was hoping for. Nora is shocked to see Josh again, but when she sees the ornament, she can't say no. They bring the ornament to the contest, and it wins! Sarah shows up and says, "You said you were just dropping off an ornament," implying you'd be back. Fair enough. She watches as he hugs Theo and shares a moment with Nora. When they return to his parents' place, Sarah tells him that she can tell something has changed. She says she's going to Sydney tomorrow because it's what she wants, and it's up to him if he comes too. Before he can respond, lightning strikes, and the power goes out.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Bill is playing mediator between Lucas and Lee, and it's not going well. Elizabeth catches wind of Allie's dance party. She's very excited and offers to help them learn to dance. They're like, "Well, do you know the Charleston?" She lies and says yes. Allie tells her that Nathan doesn't know and wants to keep it a secret for now. Bill and Rosemary bring the case of the coin to the mountie, and he encourages them to take the lead on this. He tells them it's nice to see them working on it. When the topic of the dance comes up with her parents, Angela seems uncomfortable. They assume it's because she's never been to a dance like this. Allie is all in on Wyatt, and her friends invite him to the dance. She's nervous that word is going to get back to her dad. Just then, she sees Oliver coming in and invites him to the dance too. There's a new love triangle in Hope Valley. Elizabeth comes to the library to get some books about dancing when she sees Angela in there, looking sad. She opens up to her about how she's worried about how her friends will view her at the dance because she's blind. She talks to her dad about it, and he tells her that dancing isn't about how you look, it's about how you feel. Nathan finally finds out about the dance, and he gets into a bit of a fight with Allie. He doesn't think she's ready to throw a party by herself. Elizabeth comes in with a crazy idea: they chaperone. Apparently, Mae Sue knows about dancing, so she teaches Elizabeth and Rosemary. Lucas goes to take a look at the land, and wouldn't you know it, Edie is there. She offers to show him around. Molly is very nervous about how all the kids are out there dancing. She wants the party canceled, so she requests a town meeting. They agree to let the dance continue if there are more chaperones. Angela tells her dad that she wants to go to a school for kids who are blind. Lucas and Edie try to capture a calf. Luckily, he has a lasso. Edie had told Lucas that she was engaged, so when he notices her ring is missing, she comes clean and says she's not engaged anymore. She just tells people that and wears the ring to keep the boys at bay. He picks up the goat, and she is very impressed. It's time for the dance, but no one is dancing. So Oliver gets out there and starts, and Allie goes out to join him. The dance is a smash success. Molly and Judd dance. I don't really care about that, but then Judd says that he paid for the hazelnuts with a gold coin. Oliver is about to give Allie something, but Wyatt shows up, and they start dancing. Oliver is sad.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH All Abby really wants is to be a professional jewelry designer, but no one will give her a chance! What she needs is buzz. Very demure, very mindful. She decides she’s going to go to Belgium and visit her grandpa, and maybe even compete in the Valentine’s Day Diamond Contest! She gets there and fixes a woman’s ring on the street right in front of a jewelry store. One of the owners, Alexander, comes out and is like, “What the heck?” She’s like, “Sorry.” It turns out Alexander’s dad and Abby’s grandpa are rivals—they don’t like each other. Alexander and Abby start hanging out more, and Abby is bummed to hear that the shop is struggling. Alexander is bummed to find out that his dad wants him to come up with the design for the competition. Alexander is great at business, but design? Not so much. So they come up with a plan—Abby will help with the design if Alexander will help with the business side. On one condition: their families must never find out. He makes her a website, and she’s like, “This is incredible!” They meet up in secret. Everything is going great. But then they go to a party together, and they’re having a great time until their families show up and are like, “WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!” But these two lovebirds can’t stay away from each other. She comes over to help him with a design, and then they kiss. It’s time for the event, and Alexander’s dad tells him he called in a favor with a judge and that there’s nothing to worry about. This upsets Alexander, and he bounces. Abby wins, I think! Yay! Her grandpa gives her this massive diamond that he’d been holding onto in case of an emergency, and she sells it because that’ll give her the money to go out on her own and be a jewelry designer. She finds Alexander, and he’s like, “You should stay.” And she’s like, “Okay, I already was going to, but thanks for asking,” and they kiss.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The episode kicks off with some narration, setting up the magic of the holiday season and how we’re all hoping for the perfect Christmas… but it never quite works out that way. We meet Chuck, who hires a bucket lifter to get his Christmas decorations as high as possible. He doesn’t care what his neighbors think—especially his next-door neighbor, Manny, who seems to have some beef with Chuck, despite their kids dating. Then there’s Jennifer, who is stressed because her mom, Linda, is dating a younger man and bringing him home for the holidays. Jennifer’s dad, Robert, is coming too, but Linda hasn’t told him about her new boyfriend. Josh Hill comes home for Christmas before his move to Sydney. He buys his parents tech gadgets, but they don’t use them. Ted and Marcus arrive to celebrate their engagement with Ted’s family this Christmas, and Ted’s mom is PUMPED. We also meet two teenagers, Max and Annie. They’re best friends working on a gift drive, but when cool girl Stephanie shows up, Max is clearly smitten, which bums Annie out. She talks to her mom, Lucy, about it, who just offers her a candy cane. Lucy runs a bakery, and a hunk named Cole comes in to do some handiwork. Sparks are flying. Lucy’s sister, Sylvie, is also coming to spend Christmas with her for the first time in years, and Sylvie is a lot. Josh gets pulled over by Detective Nora Jacobs, whom he recognizes from school. It’s clear they never really got along. She gives him a ticket, much to his surprise. Meanwhile, Manny and his wife are so excited that their daughter, Gaby, is home for Christmas! She has big news—she may be getting her own cooking show! But the joy doesn’t last long when she finds out her brother, Kevin, is dating their next-door neighbor, Katie, who used to torment Gaby as a kid. Josh complains about the ticket, but his parents tell him that Nora is actually pretty awesome. Her husband passed away, and now she’s raising their kid on her own. Josh starts to feel a little bad. Ted and Marcus are talking wedding plans when Ted brings up his grandma as a potential problem. Everyone skirts around the issue until Ted admits: his grandma doesn’t know he’s gay. Marcus is shocked and doesn’t understand why Ted hasn’t told her. They’re even more surprised to find out she’s coming for Christmas, despite planning a spa trip to Florida. When she meets Marcus, Ted introduces him as “his friend.” Clark and his wife, Rebecca, show up at his family’s house. Clark’s dad is Chuck, the Christmas light guy. Their large family immediately gives them grief for deciding to go vegan this year. Josh goes to pay his ticket and meets Nora’s kid, who teaches him how to properly structure his Legos. Gaby and her family head to their annual karaoke festival, which she loves. She’s upset when Katie shows up, and things get worse when they both choose the same song to perform. Everyone knows what that means… DUET! They crush it—until Katie accidentally hits Gaby in the face, causing her to fall off the stage. To top it all off, Gaby learns her parents are giving Katie her room because she’s too tall for the couch. Later, Josh is in a rush to sign some papers and forgets to put his car in park. It rolls into a fire hydrant. Of course, Nora shows up and tells him this is pretty serious, and he’ll have to go to court. Josh pleads, saying he’s moving to Australia, so she gives him community service instead. Gaby is looking for a blanket when she finds an engagement ring in Kevin’s pocket. She is not happy. Ted’s grandma finds the wedding planning album and assumes Marcus is engaged… to Ella, Ted’s sister. Now she’s staying. Meanwhile, Chuck’s wife, Connie, is tired of the family fighting, so she makes everyone sign a no-fighting agreement. Chuck agrees but insists they turn on the Christmas lights first. Predictably, it doesn’t go well. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The episode kicks off with Alice asking Colton what he was doing. He’s like, “I wasn’t thinking straight. I ran off after the funeral.” She’s like, “And you jumped in a pond?” He’s like, “Who can say?” They go to check in on Vic, and he yells at Colton, telling him it should’ve been him who died. Elliot and Vic get into an argument. Vic says he refuses to let that ring go to a Landry, claiming, “The Landrys have always used us.” Elliot tells him, “It’s my ring now, and it’s my house now. Get lost.” Back in ’74, Alice goes with Colton to Coyle’s to join a group of folks remembering Rick. They see the hearse drive by, and Alice locks eyes with Vic. Kat and Elliot are making out in the shack when they discover some jazz music playing and a bottle of Pinot. Kat jokes, “She’s a cab girl? What gives?!” That night at dinner, Del tells them all about Sam. Kat responds, “Well, while we’re sharing big news, I’m moving in with Elliot.” Del is shocked and says, “You’re doing what? You need to be here for your daughter.” They begin to argue, and everyone scurries off. Kat and Alice figure out that there’s another book they should pour wine on. It reveals the rest of the message—a note from Colton to Evalyn that makes it sound like they were both time travelers. At the market, Alice talks to cute boy Noah. She helps him out in the food truck, and they flirt. Kat goes to the pond to try traveling back to ’74 herself. When she gets out of the pond, she is greeted by a scary old woman. Apparently, it’s Colton’s grandma, Fern, and she’s acting wild. Jacob and his childhood friend Danny finally catch up. Danny admits he’s always blamed himself. Jacob reassures him, saying he didn’t push him into the water and that nothing is his fault. Alice shows Del the books, and Del says she’s not surprised to see this but insists that if Colton had traveled through the pond, he would have told her. Fern tells Kat, “It’s nice to see someone using the pond again.” When Kat asks if Colton used it, Fern cryptically responds, “If you want the right answers, you need to ask the right questions.” As Kat heads back to the pond, she sees Colton talking to Evalyn and overhears them discussing the pond. He’s about to tell her something big when they hear a noise. Kat returns to the present, where Del warns her to leave the past alone. Kat scoffs, “As if.” She then gets a call and has to rescue Jacob, who is too drunk to get home. Meanwhile, Elliot discovers that his dad did indeed steal the ring back, even though he had just promised Elliot he wouldn’t. Alice and cute boy Noah share a kiss. Finally, Kat and Alice go to the archives to search for answers. They discover a flyer from 1965 about voting to fill in the Landry pond.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH We meet Abril, a sophisticated businesswoman, but she’s struggling to find a job because of what happened at her last company. Feeling discouraged, she hops on a call with her cousin Belinda, who lives in Argentina. Belinda encourages her to come back and visit the family ranch. Apparently, this ranch has been in their family for generations and is currently being managed by a family friend—who just so happens to be Abril’s childhood crush, Diego. When Abril arrives, everything seems great. She spends time with Diego, and it’s obvious they’ve been keeping tabs on each other because they’re totally in love. However, things take a turn when Abril discovers that Diego is trying to buy the ranch. She’s furious, declaring, “OVER MY DEAD BODY! THIS BELONGS TO MY FAMILY!” But then they get terrible news. Some mail arrives, revealing that the family owes a significant amount of money. Belinda had previously brushed it off, thinking it wasn’t a big deal, but now the debt has piled up. The only way out is to accept a ridiculously low offer for the ranch. As the crisis unfolds, Diego and Abril start spending a lot of time together. There’s plenty of walking, talking, and many moments of almost kissing. Their connection grows deeper. Meanwhile, Abril receives an offer to return to Boston. With the salary from that job, she’d be able to pay off the ranch’s debt. Problem solved, right? Not quite—she realizes she’s not happy. So, she goes to a waterfall to think things through.

I’m staying here because I want to run this ranch with you.” They share a big, passionate kiss, and together, they take on the challenge of running the ranch as a team.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The Fletchers Grove real estate party is FINALLY HERE!!! A guy dressed as Santa comes in and kills the vibe. It's Glen. He owns the bookstore, and he’s very passive-aggressive about how no one in this town comes to his bookstore. Glen has a past. He’s banned from the diner, and everyone seems to hate him. He gives presents to everyone and tells Emily that he picked this one specially for her—it’s rare he finds a fellow mystery lover. The night continues, and Emily sees Glen in his Santa suit scurrying quickly outside. She goes to follow him, finds his hat on the floor, and then sees a car speed off. Just as that happens, she hears a scream. She runs inside and sees Sue, who was throwing the party. She’s crying as she looks at Glen, who has been stabbed in the heart. When Emily gets home, she opens the gift. It’s a special green edition of A Christmas Carol. We get a flashback of Emily visiting the bookstore and meeting Glen. She tells him about this edition of A Christmas Carol that her parents used to read to her. He remembered and tracked the book down. As she opens it, a letter falls out, inviting her to a very special event at the law offices tomorrow at 8 p.m. What is Glen up to?! So, she goes to tell Sam, and he says, “How would you feel about me being a plus-one so I can take a gander?” They show up, and the video plays—it’s Glen, predicting his own death and setting up a treasure hunt. Sam tries to get everyone to give him their books so he can search for clues. They’re like, “Nah. There’s treasure to find!” It doesn’t take Emily long to find the first clue using a UV light on her book. She thinks the other books have clues too and that they all need to work together on it. She gets two others on board—a hot dog stand owner named Harry and Brooke Carmichael. But Glen’s nephew, Fred, says he and his wife don’t want to participate (mainly Fred’s wife—she didn’t like Glen). To make matters worse, there’s one book still missing. She thinks maybe he gave it to the diner owner, Sue, but Sue says she threw the book out. Sam finds out that Glen had Huntington’s disease. After Fred finds this out, he decides that they want to participate. Even though they’re missing one book, they decide to put all the clues together and try to figure out what they’re pointing to. It has something to do with a precious memory. Fred says, “The only memory I can think of with Glen is him reading Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Emily says, “Go see if he has that book in the bookstore. Maybe there’s a clue.” As they’re walking towards the store, Emily sees the car that sped off and notices a letter that clearly came from Glen in the front seat. Just then, Fred realizes the bookstore is unlocked. Sam goes in first and finds a guy there. It’s Fred’s brother Noah. They haven’t seen each other in a long time. Apparently, when their mom got sick, Noah left. Sam takes Noah in for questioning and presents him with some pretty tough evidence—they found Glen’s Santa suit in the trunk and the USB drive with Glen’s video on it from the lawyer’s office, which was stolen. He gives reasons for all of it, but it’s not looking great. Fred tells Emily that he did finally go find the book and found a USB drive! They agree to all get together tomorrow to watch what’s on it. As Emily’s going home, an SUV speeds at her, and she has to tuck-and-roll out of the way. The next day, they all get together, and it’s another video with a very cryptic clue. We find out that someone is sitting in a car, listening in on their conversation. Later, the group gets back together, but Fred is nowhere to be found. Turns out he was attacked from behind. He says he doesn’t know who did it. Sam gets a call—they found Fred’s wife’s DNA on the Santa suit. She says she found out that the first editions were missing and went to talk to Glen. She found him dead and knew it wouldn’t look good that she found him, so she put the suit on and ran out. Emily finds Noah in the diner—he’s been released. She convinces him to join the group in solving the mystery. He comes to her store and sees there’s a hole in the wall—she has a leak. He says he thought maybe it was one of the secret compartments these old buildings have. That gives them the idea to look for one in the bookstore, and they find it! Inside is a suitcase—a go-bag, if you will. They discover a folder with a plane ticket to Switzerland for the day of the party and a brochure for a place in Switzerland for end-of-life care. He was planning to leave and die in Switzerland. Emily recalls that the tape says, “If you’re seeing this, that means I’m gone.” He didn’t know he was going to be murdered. He was just planning on disappearing. They find the final clue and watch the video. Suddenly, Harry, the hot dog guy, is gone, and so are all the books. Emily puts it together—he killed Glen and was just trying to solve the mystery. She goes to confront him in the cemetery where the final clue leads to. We find out that he showed up to steal the first edition A Christmas Carol and threatened to kill Glen to get it. Glen laughed in his face, knowing he was dying. That offended Harry, so he stabbed him. Emily then fights him, takes him down, and puts him in plastic cuffs to get the treasure! She figures out it was the lawyer who hired this guy, and he gets arrested. She gets the group back together and hands out what Glen left for everyone. It’s very sweet. The movie ends with Emily coming down to her store and seeing Sam fixing her wall. They end up making out HARD!!! She says, “Let’s go for a walk in the snow.” She has to go change, and that’s when he gets a phone call—he’s been investigating Emily and noticed some discrepancies in her story. He got a call from his higher-up to drop any and all research into her. So, clearly, she isn’t who she says she is. The episode ends with him asking her, “Who are you really?” Fade to black.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Kat hears the voicemail and freaks out, so she runs to the pond. She tells Elliot he can’t come, then jumps in. Elliot sees a jacket on the ground and suddenly gets a call from Vic Augustine—his dad. Speaking of Vic Augustine, Alice comes out of the pond and runs to the farm. It’s clear she’s not in her own time. She hears an older boy yelling at a younger boy, who’s running around with a guitar. The older boy calls him Vic Augustine and says the guitar belongs to Colt! They spot Alice and call her over. The older boy, Rick, introduces himself and invites her to join them on their way to Coyes—they’re planning to give the guitar to Rick’s best buddy, Colt. Kat shows up just after they drive off, and Vic is mean to her. She’s like, “Yeah, that tracks.” In the present day, Vic ends up showing up at Elliot’s house and tells him he’s staying there. Back in 1974, they arrive at Coyes, and Alice meets 1974 Evalyn, who is Rick’s good friend. Then Colton walks in, and Alice is like, hubba hubba—until she remembers he’s her grandpa. (I mean, I don’t know if that’s exactly what she was thinking, but that’s how it seemed to me.) Evalyn invites Alice to a party, and she really wants to go. Just then, Kat shows up and tells Alice they’re going back home, but Alice insists she wants to stay, get to know Colton, and have some fun before her life gets serious in September. Surprisingly, Kat agrees but tells her to get home safe. Wild. Meanwhile, Jacob goes to the cemetery to talk to his 1800s family. He sees his own tombstone, which he shares with his dad, and has a flashback of his dad talking about how amazing their ancestors were. Del shows up, and Jacob finally tells her the truth about why he’s there. It makes her sad. Kat watches as Alice hangs out with Colton and their friends, even singing together. 1974 Del eventually shows up—she’s new in town. Jacob finally gathers the courage to talk to her, and he mentions how much he hates disco and doesn’t understand its popularity. Del says, “I love disco, and I’m a lot like it,” then storms off. At the party for the new book release, a man named Goodwin, whom no one seems to know, shows up and starts talking trash. Jacob isn’t having it and accidentally lets it slip that he lived through some of the events in the book. Everyone is like, What?! but he covers by saying his dad told him stories, and they all accept it. Later, Del and Jacob have a heart-to-heart. He assures her that he does want to be there, and she tells him she’ll stop treating him like a little boy. Elliot asks Kat to move in with him, and she’s thrilled. Alice comes back just in time to see it and is happy for them. She tells her mom she’s never going back to 1974, but Kat says, “Spoiler alert—you do, and you sing with him.” Alice learns that Rick died later that same night. She realizes Colton had walked her home, which means she must have saved his life. Determined, she decides to check on Colton. Meanwhile, Vic is tearing up Elliot’s house, demanding, “WHERE IS IT?!” Elliot asks, “Where is what?” Vic yells, “Your mom’s ring!” Alice rushes to the pond, arrives in 1974, and sees Colton jumping into the pond.

She doesn’t have a permit to enter Antarctica, which is apparently required by law. She decides her best course of action is to steal a briefcase from the research team. She’s stopped by a guy named Andy, who’s like, Umm, who are you? Emma lies and says, I have the magnetometer. Andy buys it and says, Well then, we need to get you on board! Emma sneaks into the janitor’s room, thinking it’ll be fine, but after realizing it’s a 10-day journey, she decides to grab some food while avoiding the woman who told her she couldn’t come. Andy catches her and takes her to the research room to assemble the magnetometer. Realizing she can’t keep up the lie, she finally tells him the truth. Andy feels uneasy about not reporting her—after all, she’s breaking the law—but she pleads, It’s for my dad! Andy reluctantly agrees to let her stay, even offering her his room (all above board). They bond over card games and other activities, and Emma even sketches Andy while he sleeps. Things are going smoothly until Emma learns the crew on land hasn’t been able to find her dad. She decides to steal a crew uniform, thinking it’ll make things easier. Her plan works until Ingrid, the woman from the beginning, recognizes Emma’s voice and her distinctive duck ringtone. Ingrid chases her all over the ship, and Emma ends up hiding in a closet. When the ship hits some rough seas, she gets locked inside the closet. Luckily, Emma manages to make a call over the loudspeaker, and Andy comes to her rescue. They hug for a long time, exchanging meaningful looks. The ship finally reaches Antarctica, and Emma sneaks onto an expedition with some of the cruisers. She makes it to the base and hops on a snowmobile to find her dad. When she reaches his location, it turns out he was just surfing. Her dad explains that he’s not the one in danger—a penguin is. He shows them a penguin stuck on a chunk of ice that broke off. He’s tethered the ice chunk but can’t pull it in without tipping over. Fortunately, Andy is an engineer and agrees to help. They come up with a plan, but the drill doesn’t connect to the other iceberg. Meanwhile, Ingrid is searching for Andy. When she can’t find him, she goes into his room, discovers the stolen crew uniform, and realizes Andy has been hiding Emma. While this is happening, Andy and Emma take a cold plunge in the icy water. Ingrid spots them with binoculars and is furious. Back on the ship, Andy and Emma warm up (almost kissing), then return to work with a special drill bit. They eventually learn Emma’s dad is in trouble—a tether broke and pulled him under. He’s okay but insists they get back to saving the penguin. Just as they’re about to finish the rescue, Ingrid shows up. After an impassioned speech about the importance of penguins, she lets them continue. They successfully drill and pull the ice chunk back to shore, reuniting the penguins. Emma and Andy hug and nearly kiss again, but they’re interrupted by a phone call. Finally, Andy confesses his feelings, and Emma pulls him in for a kiss. Four months later, Emma is sketching penguins in Antarctica, living her best life.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The episode kicks off back in the shop, and Christmas is in full swing. Emily hears some Christmas carolers. She goes out and is kind of enjoying herself... kind of. The lead singer, Debby, is making some choices. Then, suddenly, a giant sleigh falls on her! She's not dead, and apparently, she's not even injured. Cut to Emily waking up once again from a crazy dream of her past life. She grabs some coffee and opens a briefcase. She looks at a picture of what we assume is her family from a past life. She grabs a USB drive that will shield her identity while she does some searching. She's trying to track down someone known as "Ky-Mer-a." Back at the store, Emily is greeted by Brooke Carmichael, who is part of the choir—the Belles. She wants to put up a flyer for their concert and tells Emily that some of the Belles think something is afoot because this isn’t the first "accident" that has happened to them, including the death of a member, Clara, who was killed in a hit-and-run. So, Emily goes to check out the sleigh, which Sam is also looking at. He suspects something nefarious happened with the sleigh because of the way it's built. She decides the best course of action is to audition to join the Belles so she can keep an eye on them. She'll rely on Violet, Sam’s daughter, to lock up the store at night. I'm sure nothing will go wrong. After practice, she talks to a guy named Lance, who is bummed about Clara because she was the key to their success. He insists that other members were jealous of her. She sees Clara's husband leaving the diner, so she goes to talk to him. He says he knows for a fact that Clara was murdered by the Belles. At the next practice, Debby begins gasping for air, and her epipen isn’t in her purse, which she just complained had been moved. She ends up surviving AGAIN! Sam pulls Emily aside and asks for her help. He wants her to keep an eye on Debby. Emily says, "But Debby has almost died twice." Sam replies, "Well... she was also a suspect in the hit-and-run. It's possible she’s faking these murder attempts to try to prove it wasn’t her who killed Clara." The next day, Debby comes to the shop to thank Emily for saving her life. Emily gets right to work, asking questions. Debby claims she doesn't even have a car anymore; she had it hauled away months ago. Emily suggests, "You should've called Adam to do it." She says, "Adam doesn’t like me very much—he showed up at my house late one night demanding I tell him who in the Belles Clara was having an affair with." She adds, "If Clara was having an affair with a Belle, I would've known about it." So Emily calls Sam. Adam thinking Clara was having an affair is a motive for murder. They go to his house, but he’s not there. On the way back into town, they find his truck has gone off the road. Adam is nowhere to be found. They call in a search and rescue team. If he's in the woods, he won’t survive the night in this cold. Emily heads back to her shop when she sees a masked man leaving the store. She tries to chase him, but he loses her. She has to call the police. Sam comes to check on her and asks, "Was it locked?" She says, "Oh, yeah, for sure." At the next Belles rehearsal, the leader, Vera, says Debby won't be making it to the Christmas tree lighting, so she’ll be taking her place. It's clear Brooke is upset about that. Debby eventually shows up at practice and tries to sing the solo but can’t. Vera and she get into a fight about Debby pulling back funding. Vera tells her that her money can’t buy her the solo, and Debby leaves. Emily figures out that the key was stolen by a punk kid, so she goes and scares him into admitting it. It’s great. Later, she goes to poke around at Adam’s place. She sees a covered car. She smells bleach and ends up opening the trunk, cutting her hand in the process. It’s Adam. He’s dead. Later, while she’s talking to Sam, she remembers something that happened earlier—Vera had a band-aid and said it was just a paper cut. But the cut is exactly the same as Emily's. Sam goes and picks Vera up. They test the blood on the trunk door, and it’s a match. He begins to question her, and it comes out that Clara was going to leave the Belles for another group. Vera hit her with Debby’s car. Adam told Vera that he knew Debby killed Clara and that he found the car. So, she freaked out and drugged him to buy time to wipe down the car. She didn’t mean to kill him, so she panicked and threw him in the trunk. Crime solved. She remembers, however, that Adam was in charge of the electricity at the Christmas tree lighting and thinks he was planning on killing Debby. But Debby isn’t singing... Brooke is. Emily arrives just in time to push Brooke away from the mic as it catches on fire. She saves the day! Sam is impressed, and they have a heart-to-heart. She begins to open up about her past... or at least what she’s able to share. She gets back to her place, and suddenly, her computer screen shows a message: "I know you are there. I'm going to find you." Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show? Email bran@deckthehallmark.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The episode kicks off with what seems like a flash back - a women writes a letter and puts it next of a baby in a basket. She grabs a man’s hand and they jump in the Here’s your revised text with spelling, grammar, and clarity improvements: The movie kicks off with what seems like a flashback—a woman writes a letter and places it next to a baby in a basket. She grabs a man’s hand, and they jump into a pond, leaving the baby behind. Cut to the present day: Jacob tells Kat that he’s sure he wants to do this—by “this,” he means meeting their mom. He walks in, and Del is immediately overwhelmed, begins to cry, and hugs him. He sees Alice and says, “It’s you…” He remembers her from when she traveled back to his childhood. Del is very confused. Kat gives her the notebook, saying it contains Jacob’s story. Cut to Elliot, who is continuing to demo the wall in his house when he finds a clock. He is confused for a second until Kat arrives with the good news. Jacob goes upstairs to shave, and Del tells Kat that he fits in Colton’s clothes. They check on him, and Del gives Jacob his stuffed bear as they look at the glow-in-the-dark stars. The next day, Kat catches Alice looking at her phone, staring at a picture of Casey wearing the necklace with the engagement ring. Alice suspects they’re a time traveler, but Kat thinks she’s reaching. The family comes together to hatch a plan to explain Jacob’s return. They go to the news, claiming a family found him, raised him, and revealed the truth on their deathbeds. Fast forward: Jacob is working the land like it’s the 1800s and thriving. Kat and Elliot’s relationship is stronger than ever, and she is publishing a new book that includes the chapter Susanna wrote, which was previously ripped out. Del receives a suspicious package in the mail. Inside is a note that reads, “Your lie is known.” Apparently, it’s not the first one. That night, Kat pulls out one of her dad’s old books. She accidentally spills wine on it, revealing a secret message: “No curses in the water. Believe in magic. Come to the pond.” She wonders if her dad left that message and if he knew about the pond. The next day, Alice returns from Minneapolis, where she’s been with her dad. She’s looking very fancy. She notices a sticker on her guitar, which belonged to Colton, that says “Coyles.” She realizes this was Thomas’s last name. When they ask Del about it, she says that’s what the pond used to be called. Kat has been missing the pond, Susanna, and maybe even Thomas. She and Alice visit the pond to reminisce. Kat speaks to the pond, telling Susanna about her chapter being published. Alice encourages her to go back. Kat hesitates but ultimately decides to try. She ends up back in the 1800s—womp, womp. She finds Elijah, who explains that Jacob had to jump because the British were after him for treason. Jumping was the safest choice. He warns her to leave because people still think she’s the White Witch. Before leaving, she visits Susanna. Kat tells Susanna she misses her, but Susanna insists she stop coming back. Kat promises she will but asks Susanna to keep writing. On her way out, Susanna looks at the painting under her bed—the one titled My Katherine. At the pond, Thomas appears. Kat tells him it’s over between them because she’s moved on. Back in the present day, Jacob reflects on how his dad told him never to go to the pond. Kat confronts him about why he came. Jacob admits it’s true, and while he’s happy to be here, he feels like a coward and struggles to adapt to this time. At Elliot’s housewarming party, Alice announces she wants to pursue PR instead of music. Del surprises Elliot by handing him a demo record from 1974 of Colton singing. As they listen, Alice notices someone running in the fields. We learn that Del and Sam have been secretly meeting in the barn. Kat confesses to Elliot that she time-traveled back to the 1800s one last time. Instead of responding, Elliot plays another track from the record. Kat doesn’t recognize the song, but it seems to be about the pond. Suddenly, another voice begins to sing, and it sounds like Alice. Kat searches for her but finds she isn’t home. Jacob, however, is, and he has another flashback of his dad telling him he loves him no matter what happens. The episode ends with Alice at the pond. She finds a sweater, calls her mom, and leaves a message, asking her to come to the pond because someone else is using it. As she speaks, someone runs up behind her and pushes her in.

Watch on Philo!- Philo.tv/DTH The episode kicks off with Emily Lane waking up from a nightmare. She runs a Christmas shop, Under the Mistletoe, in the small town of Fletcher’s Grove. She brings her cat to see her friend, local vet June, and learns that her ex-husband, Marcus, proposed to June again. Part deux, if you will. June and Marcus go on a romantic carriage ride, but Marcus is acting strange and says he’s just working on a surprise. Later, we see him meeting a man named Gordon and telling him he’s done what he can for him and to just be patient. Gordon does not seem pleased. The next day, the police show up at Under the Mistletoe. A detective informs Emily that a man named Marcus is dead and that a cookie wrapper from her store was found at the crime scene. He insists on taking all the cookies from the shop. June shows up and fills Emily in—Marcus was found dead. She suspects his ex-girlfriend, Lizzie Cline, who he was seeing until shortly before getting back together with June, might have been on the wagon ride that night. Emily immediately gets to work, tracking down Lizzie at her job and asking hard-hitting questions—like, “Wagons?!” Speaking of wagons, Emily visits the owner of the wagon rides, Gordon. Something seems to be bothering him, and Emily suspects it’s a hangover. Later, Emily heads into the woods and finds scuff marks on a tree, almost as if someone recently climbed it. Sneaky as ever, Emily snaps a picture of the list of everyone who was on the wagon that night. There’s one person she can’t track down—a man named Joey. While Emily and June are at the diner, June gets arrested. Emily confronts Detective Sam, who refuses to confirm or deny whether they found the poison that killed Marcus in June’s house, but his terrible poker face says it all. Emily discovers that Marcus denied Gordon a bank loan, leaving Gordon’s business in serious trouble. When Emily breaks into Marcus’s home, she finds a USB drive and a bookmark tucked into a pregnancy photo album. The USB contains a document for the sale of Gordon’s farm—but it’s unsigned. When she confronts Gordon, she spots some suspicious men leaving his house. Gordon reveals that Marcus asked for more time. Before Emily can leave, Gordon collapses. While waiting for the police, Emily has a flashback to a high-stakes moment from her past, where a building explodes behind her. It’s clear she moved to Fletcher’s Grove to lay low. Detective Sam arrives, suspicious when he finds out Emily called in Gordon’s collapse. She insists she’s just trying to help her friend. Sam reluctantly asks her to keep him in the loop because, well, it’s Hallmark—amateur sleuths and cops have to work together. It’s practically a law. Emily teams up with a local informant named Ray, who knows all the town gossip. He reveals that Gordon recently had his gambling debt paid off, though it’s unclear by whom. Emily also grows suspicious of Marcus’s co-worker, Rowan. When she confronts him, he has an explanation for everything. Under pressure, she convinces him to share Marcus’s bank statements, which reveal a $40,000 withdrawal just before his death. Emily forms a theory: Marcus paid off Gordon’s debt as a down payment for the farm, but Gordon had second thoughts because his daughter believed the farm was hers. Emily pitches her theory to Gordon’s daughter, Anna, but it doesn’t go over well. One night, Emily confronts Lizzie, who admits she didn’t mean for Marcus to get hurt. Lizzie reveals that she’s pregnant with Marcus’s baby. She wanted to tell her boyfriend, Trent, but couldn’t. When she told Marcus, someone must have overheard. Lizzie then received a text demanding $40,000. Marcus got the money and met her in the woods, where they shared a cookie. Emily realizes the cookie couldn’t have been poisoned and goes to the police to secure June’s release. Emily deduces that Gordon wasn’t the blackmailer—he doesn’t even know how to text—but Anna does. Anna confesses to the blackmail but denies being involved in the murder. Emily discovers that Rowan was secretly sleeping in Gordon’s barn. In his bag, she finds the poison that killed Marcus. Rowan knocks Emily out, and when she wakes up, both she and Anna are tied up. Rowan admits he wanted to kill Gordon to stop the sale of the farm. He poisoned Marcus’s flask, which Marcus drank from before confronting the blackmailer. Rowan plans to poison Emily and Anna and frame Anna for everything. Emily reveals that she hid her phone and has been recording Rowan’s confession. While he searches for the phone, Emily and Anna spook a horse to knock him out. They escape, call the police, and Rowan is arrested. Detective Sam tells Emily they’ll discuss everything soon but is relieved she’s safe. In the end, Gordon survives, Lizzie tells Trent about the baby, and Sam and his daughter sing Christmas karaoke. Everything seems fine—until the final scene, where Emily opens a black box from her old life and smirks, hinting at secrets yet to come.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH It’s 1981, and John and Lizzie are just a happy couple, dancing to Christmas songs. John is hammering chairs, and Lizzie is just lying left and right. Their daughter, Ivey, comes down the stairs and is so excited for Christmas… BUT ALSO HER BIRTHDAY!!! Now it’s 2000, and Rebecca has just moved into the neighborhood. She’s greeted by Daisy, who awkwardly stands there until she gets an invite to come in. Daisy tells her she was smart to shovel that front porch, but Rebecca is like, “I didn’t.” Daisy gives her a blank greeting card and says people have been doing that all season long here on Cherry Lane. It’s fun! Suddenly, her friend Matt shows up. They’re just friends, OKAY?! Back in 1966, smart guy David likes Christmas, but it pales in comparison to his neighbor Stephanie. She really does it up for Christmas. And she gets good news—her house might win a big TV contest, the Tommy Saunders’ Christmas Eve TV special! But the only problem is her house is too small, so she gives them David’s address. David is reluctant at first, but when he remembers that the woman in charge of the grant for his project loves Tommy Saunders, he says OK. Rebecca and Matt’s mission is to find out who is doing the random acts of kindness on Christmas Eve. Back in 1981, it becomes clear that John has been offered a big job that would take them to Michigan, and John is very concerned about leaving their home. Lizzie has her own secret—she’s pregnant and hasn’t told John. The word finally comes out that she’s pregnant, and he decides in that moment not to take the job and to stay there. It’s time for Tommy Saunders to show up, and he makes them kiss on air, which they both really like—but it isn’t something David was planning on. So she ends up going on TV in the next segment and telling the truth. Then, they end up kissing after the crew leaves. Lizzie finds out about the job and tells John that he has to take it. The movie ends with John and Lizzie’s daughter showing up in 2000 to pull out her favorite record—the Tommy Saunders record—that she stored under the stairs. This reminds Rebecca, who is Tommy Saunders’ daughter, of all the good times she and Matt had together, and they end up kissing.

It's tough out there. She is a webpage editor for the Seattle Tourism Board, and she’s just working so hard, as webpage editors for tourism boards do. She runs home in the rain and finds a dog stuck in the fence. She frees the dog, and the dog follows her home. She reluctantly invites the dog in, and they eat dinner together. The next day, she goes to the shelter to check if the dog has a microchip. The owner, Max, is not helpful, so she leaves—but her dog, who she names Russell, takes a liking to one of the dogs at the shelter. She takes Russell to the dog park, and Russell sees that other dog there. They start playing, and Mia records a video of them. The video goes viral. This makes Max really upset. But Mia asks Max if she can record more videos. He says no way at first, but then he realizes it’s free publicity, and he needs all the help he can get. He comes over to check out her place to dog-proof it, and obviously, help decorate for Christmas. They go on a hike together, and everything is going great. But when she tells him he’s being too mean to his dog, he tells her to scram. He realizes he goofed, and they agree to continue working together for the sake of the dog. It turns out Mia used to be a doctor. Her parents show up to try to convince her to take over the family practice. Another curveball: Max’s ex-girlfriend shows up after seeing all the buzz, which makes Mia jealous. But when she finds out that Max’s shelter is going under, they decide to work together and put on a fundraiser for dogs. It’s a smash success but doesn’t raise enough. Luckily, Mia isn’t a doctor anymore, but her parents are, and they have money, so they write a check and save the day. Mia tells her parents she wants to be a doctor again, but not the kind they expected. She wants to be a vet. They both realize they miss each other and show up, and they kiss.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH So it's 1998, and Regina is by herself, desperate for her kids to come visit. Luckily, her friend comes by just in time to see the sink explode, so she calls a handyman. In 1960, Eli and Penny are getting ready for Christmas. Eli is very stressed because his dad is staying with them, and he's less than thrilled, though he freaking looks great. Eli is the author of a bestselling book, but his dad is not impressed. Eli's son just wants him to help finish the time capsule. Then in 2015, Jessie is helping her sister plan her big Christmas wedding. Beth is getting nervous, though, and it keeps getting worse. Her fiancé calls and says the business that was handling everything just went out of business. But Jessie is confident: "We can definitely do this!" Then the bad news keeps coming. Jessie's ex-boyfriend Tim is the officiant, and the wedding is going to take place in her backyard. So Regina's whole thing is that the handyman shows up and just kind of sticks around. It's Nelson, her future husband, but for now he's just the handyman who is sticking around. However, he doesn't know anything about pipes, which is a problem. Eli and his son are working on the time capsule, but Eli's dad is very grumpy about it. And Jessie and Tim just kind of have to keep being around each other. Ultimately, everything works out. Eli and his dad have a heart-to-heart, and they finish the capsule and bury it in a titanium box. That box is what led to the tree root hitting the pipe that burst in 1998. They end up finding the box and open it up and yay for them. And Jessie and Tim had their one and only date locked in the school gym in 1998. In 2015, they finally make up, and the wedding is great. They end up kissing, and everyone has a happy ending. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Abby Marshall is a famous actor on a show called Guiding Grace. She seems to really resent her character, Gabriella, because everyone only knows her as that role. The show has been canceled, and Abby’s ex-husband—who also played her husband on Guiding Grace—is getting married and expecting a baby. She's shocked because she thought he didn’t want kids. Right after this, she loses it on a store clerk who keeps calling her "Gabriella" and refuses to be understanding about an ornament situation. This causes quite a crowd to form, including many people recording the incident. It goes viral, painting her in a bad light. Abby decides she just wants to leave LA, so she quickly books a room at a resort. But there’s a mix-up with the booking... the mix-up being that Abby booked the wrong year. The concierge suggests a B&B nearby that has one room available. So, she shows up and it’s immediately not what she was expecting. The guy running the B&B, Nick, is very awkward because he recognizes her. He explains that his late wife was a huge fan of hers. The townspeople are buzzing that Abby is staying there—not because they like her, but because she just went viral for being a DIVAAAAAA. Abby ends up helping with the town Christmas pageant that Nick is directing. His wife used to direct it before she passed, and he’s keeping her legacy alive. Nick’s daughter is even in the play and is cute as can be. There are some prayers and mentions of God, just to remind us that this is a Dayspring movie. Zoey is Nick’s sister-in-law, and she’s very concerned about Nick being into Abby and about Abby hanging out with him. Nick’s like, “Shove off. It’s fine.” Nick and Abby have a romantic evening together, including a carriage ride through the woods, some hot chocolate, and some star-gazing. What’s not to love? It’s the final dress rehearsal, and Abby is in her element. She was born to direct! There's a Christmas masquerade ball (because that’s something that definitely happens somewhere, right?). Abby tries to stay anonymous but is called out by a rude townsperson named Mia. Abby stands up for herself—this time, it isn’t recorded. Nick and Abby slow dance to a Jennifer Hudson song. Abby tells Nick that she’s having such a good time and wants to stay through the New Year. She has to go back to LA for filming after that. They try to end the night with a kiss, but they’re interrupted THREE separate times! First, Oliver calls Abby to tell her she needs to come in for a screen test. The network is nervous about all the bad press. Abby doesn’t want to let the kids down and leave immediately, but her career is on the line. The media is tipped off, and they show up at the pageant for charity. Nick and Zoey misunderstand and think Abby tipped off the press. Nick is confused about whether Abby is his friend or just using him for good publicity. The pageant goes off without a hitch. The kid forgets her lines, and Abby jumps on stage to help her “remember them.” She does so without stealing the spotlight. Abby wants to stop playing the perfect wife and mom and instead BE an everyday wife and mom. Abby and Nick kiss as the star shines in the night sky.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH VisitGreenvilleSC.com/Things-To-Do/Winter/ Tory is still single, much to her Bubby’s chagrin. Tory explains she’s just too busy right now, trying to make partner. Speaking of which, she rushes out of Bubby’s breakfast to make it to work. She’s swamped and ends up falling asleep at her desk. But all this work may be for naught. The company is going to experience some layoffs due to a merger, and it doesn’t take long for her to get the boot. Cut to Rocky’s bar. We meet Sam and his grandson, Jay. Jay is here on a mission—convince Sam to move closer to his family. When the regulars at the bar find out, they’re very mad. Sam is an institution! But Sam also recently fell, though he insists he’s fine. Tory talks to her parents but can’t quite bear to tell them she was fired. She goes to visit her sister, and apparently it’s been a while because her nephew doesn’t even recognize her. The next day, both Tory and Jay end up at the store to pick up some Hanukkah candles. There’s only one pack left, and they argue a bit. Ultimately, Jay ends up with them. As she leaves the store, Tory sees Jay walking into Rocky’s. She follows him in, and walks out with a bartending job. Sam is pumped because he likes talking to her and calls her the granddaughter he never had. Sam loves Rocky’s. It was a special spot for him and his late wife, and he insists on celebrating the first night of Hanukkah inside Rocky’s. Jay and Tory end up spending more time together and start enjoying each other's company. Rocky’s begins to become the go-to spot for Hanukkah, and the pair is thriving. Everything is going great, except for when Tory’s parents surprise her by showing up in the city. It’s clear the sparks are flying between Jay and Tory, but he’s only here for two weeks. Jay starts to realize that this place, and this community Sam has built, is pretty wonderful. Turns out, Sam owns the bar and the entire building—but no one knows. He wants to leave it all to Jay and wants Tory to help make that happen legally. The word finally gets out that Tory was fired, and her mom cries. It’s the first time I’ve been on the side of someone lying. Then, word gets out that Sam owns the building when someone comes in to make an offer on it. Jay gets mad that Tory kept this from him, so Sam pulls them both aside, sets the record straight, and tells Jay to get over it. Sam tells Tory he wants to move here, and we get a TRIPLE almost kiss moment. They head downstairs to celebrate another night and share a big kiss after lighting the menorah.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH PrettyLitter.com/DTH - 20% off your first order + a free toy Kate reluctantly works at her family's business, North Star, a year-round operation that trains Mall Santas nationwide. Despite its festive name, it’s a big commitment that's made her a bit grumpy about Christmas. When her dad decides to step away, Kate steps in, but the business is a mess. Her sister, Bailey, agrees to help her out. Her rival and top instructor, Dan, works for a different Santa school. This school wins the Christmas Cup every year. After Dan gets fired for making too much money, he approaches Kate—despite their awkward past (they once went on a date, or a "scheduled gathering," if you will). He wants to join forces and win the Christmas Cup. She can't say no to that. They carpool on the first day and have to screech to a halt when a Santa walks in front of them in the road. He's very confused. He doesn’t know his name or what he's doing. It’s at this point that they see Santa's reindeer and sleigh fly away. Is he the real deal?! They decide to bring him to the school so they can keep an eye on him. They get to the school, and Dan is immediately concerned. It's a real ragtag group: an older fellow who just wants to be Santa for his grandkids, a woman who wants to prove she can do anything she puts her mind to, a ventriloquist and his dummy, some actor named Paul Campbell, and then there’s Nick...who has a giant bowl of cookies and just downs some milk. The Santas begin to train, participating in obstacle courses and learning how to properly "ho-ho-ho." Santa Nick begins to have weird memory flashes whenever he touches someone but doesn’t know how to make heads or tails of it. The next test is a big one—they have to actually deal with kids at the mall, and it’s intense for all of them...except Santa Nick. He crushes it. He knows what all the kids want. But he also sees what Kate’s dad’s friend, Ned, wants—he wants to buy the school. So Kate has a conversation with him, and she’s strongly considering his offer. There’s a gift exchange, and Kate gives Dan a nice gift—a Christmas sweater that says he's the "Best Santa Trainer," so obviously, she’s into him. He asks her on a date, and she agrees. And what better way to go on a date than by crashing a Christmas party? They have an absolute blast together. They get kicked out, and that leads to them making out... The next morning, they make out some more... AY AY AY!!!! Word gets out to Kate’s sister and the other Santas that Nick is the real Santa. It's almost Christmas Eve, and Nick still hasn’t regained his memories. Kate decides to try something—she shows Nick his Santa sack. He begins to go through it, and he gets a reindeer whistle and calls for his sleigh to come back. Dan finds out that Kate is considering selling the school, and that bums him out. He assumes that also means she doesn’t see a future with him, so he decides it’s best if he just leaves. It's time for the Christmas Cup. It ends in a tie. It comes down to sudden death. First person to beat the obstacle course wins! They draw names, and it's Nick's turn to go. Just then, Nick’s wife shows up. Turns out his name is Kris, and she is Mrs. Claus! The whistle told her where he was. She reminds him who he is. He goes to do the obstacle course, and he's behind the whole time until they get to the chimney climb. Somehow, almost like magic, Nick/Kris appears at the top of the chimney and rings the bell. After the win, Kate decides not to sell the school. Santa gives her tickets to Paris and tells her that she still needs to live her life. Kate and Dan make up, and they kiss... They all head back to her place to celebrate, and the doorbell rings. She goes to answer it and finds a box. Inside is a whistle with a note that says, "If you ever need any help with the school, give me a call."

GetJoni.com - for 15% off your subscription The movie kicks off by really showcasing an acoustic guitar. They couldn’t have more shots of this guitar if they tried. We’re in a bar where a woman is singing a lovely version of Here We Come A-Wassailing. Her name is Maggie, and she announces she’s about to do a show in Chicago and open for Dalton Blake! But then her manager shows up and tells her that the big opening gig… is off. However, he gives her a new phone with a bunch of fancy apps on it. She responds, “Nah, I’ve got my reliable flip phone right here, bud.” With no reason to stay in Chicago, she hops in her old van and heads home to Ed’s Christmas Tree Farm. It’s a family-run lot, and her parents are thrilled to have her back. Cut to New York City, where we meet two siblings who clearly don’t like each other and whose dad has just died. Their lawyer is reading the will, and one item in particular catches their attention: a board seat that will go to whichever sibling has a higher net worth at Christmas. He’s Archer, and she’s Piper. They didn’t have a normal childhood or normal Christmases, but they do have a picture of themselves in front of Ed’s Christmas Tree Lot. Back at the lot, Maggie’s best friend asks her to consider directing the Christmas play. Archer is staring at the picture and decides to search for the lot. He rents a cabin and heads to the lot. When he arrives, he tells Maggie’s mom he wants to get a tree for the first time as an adult. She encourages him to cut his own and suggests that he go with Maggie. It turns out he runs the company that created all the fancy apps she hates. When she finds out, she turns on him and gets him out of there as quickly as possible. But when she learns her manager can’t book her anywhere, she starts to feel guilty for being mean and goes to apologize. She is shocked to find him putting the Christmas tree outside in a tub of water. When she asks about his family, he avoids the question and gives her baked goods. Maggie begins to open up about her failing career and how her manager is pushing her to embrace the tech. Archer says, “I think it’s important to have a balance.” Maybe he’s not so bad after all. The next day, Piper and her kids show up. It turns out they had the same idea. The kids join the Christmas play, and Archer gives them a tutorial on his cool app. Maggie realizes, “Oh, that actually is kind of neat.” Maggie and her family start inviting Archer and his family to all the fun Christmas activities, and they’re all loving it. The next day, Archer pitches a new app to Maggie—live-streaming performances—and wants Maggie to be on the test stream. There’s still a lot to figure out, but she’s interested. Maggie’s dad gets on social media and talks about the app, which goes viral and causes Archer’s net worth to rise. When Piper finds out, she leaves with the kids. Archer has a heart-to-heart with Maggie, and the sparks are flying, but she gets a call from her old manager and considers going back to work with him. Archer thinks that’s a bad idea and tells her she’s better than that guy. It’s the night of the big Christmas play, and they’re going to live-stream it on the app. Piper shows up with the kids, and they make up and agree to sit on the board together. Just as the performance is about to start, the power goes out, but that’s nothing for some small-town charm. They manage to get the power back up, and the show is a hit. The kids sing, and then it’s Maggie’s turn. She crushes it, and the app loves her. After she gets off stage, Maggie makes up with Archer, and they share a kiss.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH #Sponsored by BetterHelp BetterHelp.com/Hallmark - for 10% off your first month #ad The movie kicks off with Santa delivering presents. He is down to one reindeer and facing the worst storm on record. But that’s not going to stop him from delivering gifts to Wellington at Sea. He falls off a roof, and Santa says, “I think we need to go back to the school play on December 22nd.” We meet Danny, a new kid in town who doesn’t want anyone to notice him, except for his crush, Sam. There’s also the director of the play, Bernadette, and the star of the play, Charlie, who is Sam’s brother. Bernadette comes on stage and announces that this is going to be a fresh take on the story of Jesus, featuring hip song remakes like Wannabe and Stevie Wonder’s Happy Birthday. Of course, they all live in the charming town of Wellington at Sea, which is known for its love of Christmas. But everything is about to get very complicated because of the snow. Everyone wakes up on the 23rd to a winter wonderland. Everyone is aware that it’s a snow day except for Danny. He makes it to school just in time to see Ms. Trapper, his grumpy teacher, who tells him he should stay and work on his studies since his mom is at work. So, he spends the day learning physics via snowmen. It turns out Ms. Trapper is very skilled at snow. Sam and Charlie spend the day tormenting their neighbor and getting in trouble for it, receiving a stern reminder that Santa Claus is coming to town. Bernadette spends the day with her extended family, wishing they wouldn’t do the same thing every year. It’s Christmas Eve morning, and Charlie wastes no time getting into trouble by freeing a bunch of caged turkeys. Danny spends the day trying to figure out how to talk to Sam when he sees her at her family’s shop later. He also receives bad news from his dad—he won’t be home for Christmas due to the snow. Meanwhile, all the adults in Bernadette’s family end up getting stranded in the snow with no way to get home. Back to the beginning: Santa is coming to save everyone’s Christmas, but the blizzard is really something. Of course, Santa knows all. He whips up something special for Danny. He manages to get all the presents down the chimney at Bernadette’s house. And, of course, Sam gets what she wants. However, Santa thinks Charlie is naughty, so he leaves nothing for her. But Sam and Charlie are twins, and Santa mistook them, so he left the gifts on Charlie’s bed. When Charlie realizes what Santa did, she puts all the gifts on Sam’s bed. Santa receives an alert that a naughty kid has turned nice, so he turns back to make sure Charlie knows she is officially on the nice list. It’s Christmas morning, and Charlie is shocked to see the gifts. Bernadette decides it’s her job to guide the kids in making this Christmas special and new, just like the play. Danny is excited to see his amazing Christmas present but is sad to find out that his mom unexpectedly has to go to work. While moping around, he notices that his neighbor, Ms. Trapper, looks awfully lonely. Since they had some fun building snowmen together, he figures, what could it hurt? When she finds out his mom is at work, they work together to surprise his mom with a magical igloo lit with Christmas lights and a wonderful Christmas dinner. As Bernadette’s parents finally make it home, they realize that they can’t find her younger sister, who has taken a game of hide-and-seek very seriously. So the whole town comes together to find her, thanks in part to Danny and Sam, who are now officially a couple. The next day, everyone shows up for the annual Boxing Day cold plunge and celebrates the beauty of Wellington at Sea.

His husband, Zian, the calm one, is there to calm him down, per usual. Mike feels bad about not doing big Christmas decorations like his dad used to when he was growing up. He's also stressed because he is going to surprise Zian by flying his grandfather in for a visit. Cut back to 1951, where we meet a couple, Charlie and Joan, fresh home from the hospital because Joan broke her arm. It's a big Christmas for them because Charlie is about to ship out to Korea. In 2003, we see a postal worker who is thrilled when a couple, Sarah and Luke, gives him a Christmas card. They're a perfect couple. They never fight. They never disagree. That is, until Luke's family comes to stay for Christmas and brings a friggin' massive wreath. To make things more awkward, her family comes. Things are going to be WONKYYYYYY. The families end up arguing about everything—wreath vs. weird handmade thing, angel vs. star, etc. It's a mess out there. This leads to Luke and Sarah getting into their first fight. Back in '51, Charlie and Joan are blown away by the generosity of their neighbors after Charlie accidentally burns the turkey. He goes downstairs to write a Christmas card to his wife that he plans to mail to her while he's gone. The letter gets lost in the mail and is actually the card that Sarah and Luke received at the beginning of the movie. It was a dead letter! This brings them together to realize what really matters. So back to 2024—Grandpa finally shows up, and Zian is shocked. He begins to tell Zian about his family and reveals that he wouldn't be here today if it weren't for an American doctor named Charlie. So that's nice. They're all connected. Everything wraps up with a nice bow, and we're all happy. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH VisitGreenvilleSC.com/Things-To-Do/Winter/ We meet Leah and Graham. Leah is Jewish but has always loved the idea of Christmas, so when Graham invites her to celebrate Christmas with his family and meet his parents, she jumps at the chance. First, they visit her parents for a Hanukkah celebration, and it’s a great time. Graham, however, warns her not to expect too much when they visit his family—just in case she’s disappointed. But when they arrive at his parents’ house, it’s a full-on Christmas wonderland. Leah is blown away—it’s everything she’d hoped for. But then… Graham’s mom happens. She’s super serious, very intense about her schedule, doesn’t allow anyone to just rip open presents, and insists on fancy Christmas pajamas instead of fun ones. Leah quickly realizes that Graham’s mom is going to make things… difficult. Case in point: she even asks Leah to change her Christmas sweater. The tension builds as Leah continues to clash with Graham’s mom, and Graham finds himself awkwardly stuck in the middle—handling it poorly, to say the least. Leah’s big moment arrives during the gingerbread house competition. She absolutely crushes it, complete with a smoking chimney. And it’s clear that Graham’s mom is not amused. Leah turns to Graham, like, Why didn’t you warn me to let your mom win? And Graham just shrugs and says, Maybe I didn’t want her to win! The awkwardness keeps escalating. Leah accidentally breaks some vases that Graham’s ex-girlfriend, Julia, made and sold at a Christmas market. And then—of course—Julia shows up to hang out. AWKWARD. Things go from bad to worse when Leah’s snowman is less than Pinterest-perfect. Graham tries to lighten the mood with a snowball fight, but Leah accidentally nails his mom in the face. Yikes. Later, Graham tries to reassure Leah, telling her he wants her to stay. But then things get even weirder when his sister announces she’s dropping out of business school to start an artisanal pickle company. The family is not thrilled. And to top it all off, Graham’s dad drops a bombshell, saying he’s been waiting for Graham to return home and join the family bank. After dinner, Graham brushes it off: Oh, my dad always says stuff like that. Don’t worry, I’m not moving. On Christmas Eve, Graham gives Leah… a gift basket. She’s like, Oh, this is… nice. Meanwhile, she’s gone all out, giving him a memory book filled with every single date they’ve ever been on. But then, a twist: Graham’s mom suddenly does a 180 and starts showering Leah with praise, calling her so wonderful. Even Julia apologizes for overstepping. Things are really turning around for Leah! Except… she can’t find Graham anywhere. She uses Find My Friends and sees he’s at the general store. When she gets there, she’s stunned to see her parents are there too. They all end up back at Graham’s family’s house, where Graham announces, I didn’t just get you a gift basket for Christmas—I also got you this. And then, boom—he pulls out a ring and proposes! Big kisses, big celebration. The next morning, everyone wakes up on Christmas Day and celebrates together as one big, happy family.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH CozyEarth.com - promo code HALLMARK for up to 40% off your order The movie kicks off with a promotion for The Harmony Channel! They are airing a marathon of their popular Sugarplummed series, and viewers can win a home decorated for Christmas! Cut to real life: Emily is a mom of a moody, artistic teenage girl named Nina and a TikToking teenage boy named Max. She’s married to Ben, an architect who never understands what his son is doing—ever. Emily is very type A, complete with her Christmas checklist. Her family doesn’t care for her checklist; they just want to do their own thing. Emily’s a hot-shot deal maker with an assistant who spends her days watching made-for-TV Christmas movies. Emily explains that these movies are dumb and all follow the same rules. She says, “Of course, I’d love for life to be like one of these movies, but it’s just not realistic.” Her assistant encourages her to live in the moment instead of focusing on her list, and maybe she’ll be surprised. Emily’s mom collected ornaments, so when she finds out that night that they were delivered from storage to her office, she runs to the office to grab them. The box breaks, and they all fall onto the floor, including a star that says, “Whatever wish you make, it’ll grant.” She looks up and sees one of those Sugarplummed movies on TV, so she wishes for a Sugarplum Christmas. Just then, the star begins to glow, and all the lights in the office start to flicker. Suddenly, Sugarplum magically appears in her office. Sugarplum is just as confused as Emily and asks Emily to help her get back to her town of Perfection. Emily, overwhelmed, says, “I’m going crazy!” and runs to leave. Sugarplum follows her, and they figure out that people can see Sugarplum but don’t recognize her as Sugarplum. Sugarplum is confused by the lack of snow and explains that snow is part of the rules! Emily is shocked and asks, “The rules are real?” Sugarplum replies, “I mean, it’s a book!” She pulls out the book and says, “It’s pretty clear that I’m here to help you with your perfect Christmas list, and after I do that, I’ll get back to my home!” The next day, Emily wakes up shocked to find that Sugarplum has brought in a full crew to decorate her house like a winter wonderland. Emily is surprised to learn that the decorators are working out of the goodness of their hearts. Luckily, she has a bag full of princess tiaras from all the princesses she’s met. When Sugarplum finds out that Emily has a big-city job, she just has to tag along! She listens in as Emily has a meeting with a developer who wants to tear down a ski lodge. Sugarplum walks in and works her magic, even helping two enemies, Vic Webster and Fiona Gubelmenn, fall in love—and boy, is it steamy! Give those two a movie ASAP. The magic of Sugarplum continues. When they find out that the headphones Nina wants for Christmas are only available if you win a Christmas competition, Sugarplum absolutely crushes it. Emily is too busy to show up for Max’s career event, so Sugarplum agrees to go. At first, the kids make fun of her for being weird and make fun of Max for bringing her, but then Sugarplum pulls out a magic snow globe and causes it to snow indoors. It’s phenomenal. Max becomes the most popular kid in school. Emily gets great news—her newly decorated house has secured them a spot in the Harmony Channel Christmas house competition. But the magic begins to fade. The power goes out due to too many Christmas lights. Vic Webster wasn’t actually into Fiona; he just wanted to trick her into giving up the ski lodge. Sugarplum gets sued for cutting down a tree and then arrested for the snow in the school. The police are baffled by Sugarplum, seeing as how she has snowflakes as fingerprints. Luckily, Emily knows the law and is able to get her released. But it’s getting too real for Emily. Her son is suspended, and her daughter is mad at her for ignoring her. Sugarplum realizes the magic is fading. Emily thinks that as long as she wins the contest, they’ll be okay! That’ll be the amazing memory her family needs to keep the magic light burning. But things get out of control when she adds a ton more to try to ensure they win the contest. She doesn’t even realize that her family is absolutely hating it. Her kids say, “We didn’t ask for any of this. We want Christmas to be like it used to be.” They all leave her alone and go to the Christmas pageant like they used to do together. Sugarplum helps Emily realize that her family doesn’t need a perfect Christmas—they need her. Emily pulls out of the competition and makes it in time to see her daughter perform at the pageant. But Nina is freaking out and runs away. Emily goes after her, apologizes for being the worst, and tells her that she believes in her and that she shouldn’t worry about being perfect, just have fun. The performance is great, complete with some Christmas magic. Everything is as it should be, and Sugarplum says it’s time for her to go. She suddenly is transported back into the TV, and the family sits down to watch a Christmas movie, realizing that their friend Sue looked a whole lot like Sugarplum on TV.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH SkylightFrame.com/DECK - for $20 off your purchase! Princess Violet is a simple princess. She loves chocolate and hates work. All she really wants is some alone time with her mom, but it’s a busy time of year. At least they’ll always have the festive bake. Except they don’t. Mom is too busy. Being Queen is hard. Her mom explains that if Violet is serious about being Queen one day, she has to start taking royalty seriously. She needs to start figuring out what her mission is going to be. Violet tells her mom she’s going to start focusing and immediately shows up late to her next activity: the Royal Christmas tree selection, which is chosen by a goat. When the goat gets off the leash and picks the smallest tree, the town is so mad that her mom is left with no choice... send Princess Violet to a rich people boot camp. Cut to Colorado, where we meet Ryan and Squibby. They’re in charge and have their hands full with this crew. We have a K-pop star, an NFL player, a crypto bro, and of course, a princess. It’s pretty serious stuff. They run, they read, they bake— all the normal boot camp stuff. And Violet is having a tough time. She doesn’t run, she doesn’t know how to read, and she can’t bake. But she does know how to be sneaky. Instead of doing the hard work of moving Christmas trees, she sneaks into the phone room and calls movers. But Captain Ryan is too smart and figures out that they didn’t do the hard work. He’s fed up and she’s about to leave when she comes across a car on the side of the road. It’s at this point that we find out she knows sign language and helps save the guy. Captain Ryan sees this and tells her he’s impressed and believes she can finish this program. Princess Violet agrees to return, but only if he lets her decorate for Christmas. Ryan and Violet continue to bond, and she finds herself actually enjoying the hard work of the program and enjoying Captain Ryan’s company. But she has a boyfriend who actually shows up to rescue her, but she tells him she doesn’t want to be rescued. After telling Scotty to kick rocks, she realizes she’s locked out of the building. So, she climbs up a drainpipe and sees Ryan shirtless. He’s on a Zoom call with his mother, who’s excited to see he has a girlfriend crawling around in the background. Private Ryan acknowledges that it would be against company policy. After he hangs up, they go and talk by the fire and share stories about people they’ve lost. They’re having an absolute blast together, singing Christmas songs to the elderly. What could go wrong now? Well, when Captain Ryan discovers that not only does Violet have a secret phone but that she also accidentally broke his special bench, he kicks her out of the program one day before graduation. Violet’s mom is very mad, and Violet says, “I don’t think you’re mad at me. I think it’s clear we’re both still grieving the loss of Daddy King.” The next day, Violet is walking in the town square and finds out that there’s a woman whose kitchen isn’t working. She convinces the rest of the cadets to make dinner for her. But where’s Violet? She’s fixing the bench with the random guy she saved in that car. Where did he come from? Where’s he going? There’s a chance he’s Cotton Eyed Joe. They throw a party, and Violet shows up in full princess garb. Ryan says he’s passing everyone, including Princess Violet. Violet and Ryan go to sit on the bench, and then she asks for permission to kiss. He says, “Permission granted."

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH GetJoni.com - for 15% off your subscription The movie starts off real slow. Literally. A slow ballad plays. Suddenly, a girl comes down the stairs, clearly ready to go off to the dance. Her name is Jenny, and her mom's name is Melanie. Melanie is going to be the chaperone at the dance to keep an eye on Jenny and make sure she's doing okay. Jenny has autism and sometimes has a tough time with loud noises and whatnot. Things are going okay at first until things get a little too intense with the music and the snow falling. Jenny runs outside, and Melanie decides it's probably time to go home. Cut to one year later, and Jenny is excited to be a senior and eager to figure out what’s next for her, which she hopes is going to college in California. When Melanie finds out what school Jenny wants to go to, she’s shocked and tries to talk to her about it, but Jenny isn't having it. The next day, Jenny is talking with her friends, and they come up with the idea to create an alternative dance that is inclusive of all kids. What she doesn’t know is that Melanie wants to do the same thing, except she wants to make the dance inclusive by lowering the volume, getting rid of the strobe lights, stuff like that. There’s some pushback from the PTA because the dance is so close. That’s when hot teacher Daniel steps in and says he’ll be the liaison and help make sure this is possible. There’s a new boy in town named Will, who Jenny takes a liking to, and he agrees to help with the dance. Melanie and Daniel come up with an idea to make the dance fun for everyone – a silent disco. You can control your own volume, and it’s something new and fresh. Once it all comes out about both dances, they decide to merge them. It’s the night of the party, and bad news strikes: it’s snowing, and Jenny is afraid of the snow. But Will inspires her to conquer her fear and come outside. The party is a smash hit, and Melanie agrees to join Daniel in Paris on his sabbatical. They share a kiss, and then Will and Jenny join them outside, kiss, and they all watch the snow together.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH #Sponsored by BetterHelp BetterHelp.com/Hallmark - for 10% off your first month #ad VisitGreenvilleSC.com/Things-To-Do/Winter/ The movie kicks off with a fun little animation telling the story of a secret that started in 1996 when Avery met Logan. They became quick friends. Avery could 100% be herself around him, and vice versa. As they got older, that friendship blossomed into true love—the kind that can get you through anything, like the loss of Avery’s mom. Fast forward: they’re adults now. Avery lands a job in London, and Logan is less than thrilled. It’s 2014, and on their last night together, Logan is driving the struggle bus. They’re in the middle of a fight, but it boils down to him saying, “I’m just really going to miss you, and I’m sad.” At her going-away party, her dad gives an emotional speech before handing the mic to Logan. Logan gets down on one knee, but before he can even pop the question, Avery blurts out, “No.” Logan does not handle it well and throws out, “If your mom were alive, she’d be disappointed.” Ouch. Avery breaks up with him and leaves. Cue a fun montage of the world’s biggest moments from 2014-2024 (shoutout to Stranger Things and Squid Game—Netflix wins again). Now it’s 2024. Avery is a hotshot dealmaker with a hotshot dealmaker boyfriend named Cam. Logan, meanwhile, is a contractor dating Cassie, who comes from a family where every sibling’s name starts with “C.” (More on that soon.) Avery and Cam head to her dad’s house, which is all packed up. Her dad, now remarried, is selling the family home. She says goodbye as her dad and stepmom leave for a holiday trip. Then it’s off to Cam’s very uptight family. At their gathering, guess who walks in? Logan and Cassie. Turns out Cam is Cassie’s brother (one of the “C” names). Logan and Avery are stunned but quickly decide to pretend they’ve never met. Avery, already intimidated by Cam’s mom (played by Kristin Chenoweth, no less), doesn’t need the added drama. But the awkwardness only grows. Cam has his own “former friend” story: a girl named Sophie who studied abroad and is now back. Cam’s mom loves Sophie. Meanwhile, Logan and Avery strike a deal: Avery will help Logan land a business deal with Tim Meadows, and Logan will make Kristin Chenoweth like Avery. This is where things go off the rails. Avery borrows a jacket, eats some gummies from the pocket, and discovers (too late) that they’re weed gummies. At church. She ends up rambling about her hands and turns a Christmas reading into a Kool & the Gang singalong. Kristin Chenoweth is not impressed, but hey, the pastor loved it. Later, the munchies hit. Avery eats a batch of cookies meant for a cookie exchange. To cover it up, she blames the dog, which backfires when the dog has to be rushed to the vet. Shenanigans ensue, but they manage to keep Kristin in the dark. The chaos ramps up when Cam’s younger brother, Callum, overhears Logan and Avery talking about their past relationship. He blackmails them into helping him get a booth at a Christmas market. Then there’s a bar scene. Guess who shows up? Sophie. Avery sees her getting flirty with Cam, and when she gets a call about her dad’s real estate agent needing access to the house, she leaves. Logan offers her a ride, and they have a heart-to-heart about her memories of the house. He encourages her to buy it, and they spend some quiet time there. Later, Logan catches Cam sneaking into the house late at night. Cam begs Logan not to tell Avery. Finally, everything blows up at the Christmas Eve gathering. Cassie surprises Logan by inviting his parents, and Grandma spills the beans about Logan and Avery’s past. Callum exposes Avery’s cookie crime. Just as she’s about to leave, Avery asks Cam if anything happened with Sophie. He admits it did. It’s over. Avery leaves, and Logan asks if he can call her. She says no. But when she finds out that Logan suggested to her dad that she should buy the house, she realizes he might be something special. She ensures his business plan gets to the right people. In the end, Avery’s dad surprises her with the keys to her childhood home. At her housewarming party, Logan asks for a second chance. They confess their love and kiss. A year later, they’re planning their wedding. Through animation, we learn they get married sometime after that.

Her clients are always thrilled with her work. She makes it known, however, that she’s not going home for Christmas and tries to avoid the conversation altogether. Cut to Emily’s brother, Nick. Nick is stuck running the family farm, and it’s a big year—it’s the first Christmas after their mom passed away, but it’s also the 25th annual Christmas carnival. His best friend (and fellow hunk), Luke, has been helping out around the farm. When Luke hears how overwhelmed Nick is with planning the carnival, he suggests calling someone with a ton of party-planning experience… like Emily! At first, she’s like, “Hard pass,” but then she has a dream about her mom. So she hops on a plane FROM LAX, and when she gets home, she immediately bumps into an old friend. It’s good to be home. On her drive to the farm, she almost hits Luke while he’s crossing the road, and they have a very Hallmark-style shouting match. When she gets to the farm, she’s shocked to find that Luke is there. As she catches up with her brother, she learns that Luke is a light artist—or at least, he used to be. When Emily sees some of his work, she gets inspired. What if they incorporated his art into the carnival to make it really special? She goes to ask Luke for help, and at first, he’s like, “Nope,” but then he’s like, “Okay, fine.” So, yay! But Luke realizes he needs inspiration—he can’t just art on command. Emily, ever the problem solver, comes up with fun activities to boost his creativity, like untangling Christmas lights in the middle of the night, decorating the farm, and even going to a Christmas market together. FINALLY, inspiration strikes while eating a cookie, and he rushes home. My guy is inspired. And let’s be honest… it’s Emily who’s inspiring him, because the sparks are flyinggggg! This carnival is going to be poppin’, so Emily calls in all her favors to get as much press and as many influencers to come out as possible. Luke’s not thrilled about the influencers, but he is thrilled about Emily, so… what can ya do? Luke finally shoots his shot and asks her to dinner. While they walk around town, she casually mentions that she’s definitely going back to LA after the carnival. He’s like, “Well, I’d still like to talk to you on the phone from time to time.” At dinner, they bond over how hard it is to take the plunge to become their own boss. He’s afraid to open a gallery, and she’s afraid to start her own party-planning company. Luke suggests she come home to start her business, but Emily says leaving LA would feel like she’s failing. She talks about her mom, and he talks about light. The date is a big success. Finally, it’s carnival time, and it’s a huge success with big light. Emily and Luke come up with a plan: she’ll start her own company, splitting her time between LA and the farm. Meanwhile, he’s going to open his own gallery. They make out.

The movie kicks off with this guy selling snow globes on the street, but no one cares. We’re all just too busy! Beatrice walks by on the phone, and a car splashes her boots with water. Ugh. She goes to meet her best friend, Emilia, for coffee to talk about their staycation Friendsmas. Emilia comes up with an idea—instead of a staycation, they go to Christmasland. It’s a town fully devoted to Christmas, including the North Pole Inn. They make every guest feel like family. Emilia is pumped. Beatrice is less than thrilled and says, “Nah, hard pass.” But after nagging her about it a ton of times, she finally gives in. Right as they get to the Christmasland: 5 Miles sign, they get a flat. Emilia is convinced this is all part of the magic of Christmasland. Right on cue, a hot guy pulls up in a truck and offers to give them a ride. His name is Ethan, and Emilia is pumped to get into this stranger’s truck. He brings them to the magical inn, where they are handed Christmas PJs and Christmas cookies.

The next day, Ethan walks with Beatrice around the town and explains that Christmasland is a place where reality and fantasy blur, so she should just roll with it. She’s like, “I’m a journalist, but I’ll do my best to roll with it.” Meanwhile, Emilia goes to an eggnog tasting and meets a guy named Porter, who is also visiting—and who could be her dad. But he’s perfect… maybe too perfect. So this Friendsmas turns into the two of them just hanging out with boys.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH CozyEarth.com - promo code HALLMARK for up to 40% off your order For King + Country's A Drummer Boy Christmas LIVE - in theaters December 5-9, 2024! The movie kicks off on Christmas Eve with a bunch of good boys pulling a fella on a sleigh. Another guy rides up and bumps him off his sleigh. It turns out this guy is telling his daughter his story. She’s inspired by it and wants to race herself. Cut to the present day, where we meet Anya. She’s heading to Finland for Christmas and to race in the race of all races—the 40th annual Joulurauha race. She and her best friend travel to Finland, where they meet all the other racers, including Manti, the racer who bumped her dad off the sleigh. Anya also meets Cole, a member of the press. When she finds out he’s a reporter, she’s very reluctant to talk to him. But he pitches her an idea: he wants to do an in-depth piece on her so she can tell her story, but she’s not having it. We get to the race pretty quickly, and Anya immediately makes her move on Manti. He’s already up to his dirty tricks with a big kick. Luckily, she recovers quickly and earns the final slot in the next round. She gives Manti a piece of her mind, but she’s pulled away because one of her dogs, Cupid, is injured and won’t be able to continue the race. She figures she’ll have to drop out, which stings because the race costs so much money. Her lovely cousin Lavi suggests they visit Santa and ask for help. Luckily, Cole is hanging around Santa and overhears. He offers his dog, Rue, for the race. There are some obstacles in getting this approved, but after the head of the race committee finds out that Cole is going to write about it, he gets excited about the press coverage and agrees. Sensing that Anya is stressed, Cole takes her for a cold plunge, and they bond in the sauna. She finally gets the new dogs to trust Rue, and she’s feeling great about it! Later, they spend the evening with her extended family, baking goods and playing in the snow. The next day, Anya finds out that the committee has added a new rule: all the sleds will now be pulling the same amount of weight. She’s very annoyed by it, but that’s nothing a fun night with Cole can’t fix. They go on a sleigh ride, and he lets her read his book that he’s writing. She gives him some more information for his article, but then she says, “Can I tell you something off the record?” And she kisses him! And it was awesome. Speaking of romance, Anya’s cousin Lavi and her best friend Alice are having a "will they, won’t they" situation, and it’s magical. It’s the day of the final leg, and Anya is really stressed, so she kind of yells at everyone. But they make up before the race. She talks trash to Manti, and off they go into the snow. At one point during the race, she finds Manti without his sled. He’s hurt and his sled and dogs are nowhere to be found. Anya helps him out, and they end up talking and understanding each other a bit more. Later, she tries to help free the sled from the side of a cliff but slips and falls off. She’s hanging on when one of the other racers shows up. Manti and Anya work together with the dogs to pull her back to safety. They hop back on their sleds and continue the race, and she wins! But Cole is nowhere to be found, so she goes to find him. While that’s happening, Lavi tells Alice he likes her, and they kiss! Cole is busy moping around but then realizes he has to shoot his shot! So, he goes to find Anya right as she’s about to find him. He says, “I’m finally being lead dog,” and kisses her. And then she kisses him back, and as they do, we see the Northern Lights.

She gets a call from her Brother, a handyman named is Sal and he has big news: he has won a charity design project for the holidays. He asks Rose for some design advice. They have a charming relationship and aren’t working together on the family business. We then meet Bryson walking out of a hardware store, carrying a bunch of wood, as he is prone to do. He is annoyed to bump into his ex, who flaunts the fact that she is now engaged. Bryson works with Sal, and they are surprised to learn the funding for the project they are working on has been cut, but they need to get the project done on a budget for the Denver Chronicle for a feel-good Christmas story. The charity house they are working on will go to the town’s principal. Sal tells Bryson they need to bring Rose into the project to help finish it on time. Rose says no. But that's nothing some brotherly guilt can't overcome. Rose, who’s a designer and not an interior decorator, and who hasn’t been home since her parents died, is not thrilled about this reunion with holiday chaos. Rose drives into town and immediately bumps into Brysen and spills her coffee all over his shirt. Oh, and also, Rose finds out she’ll be staying in the same house as Brysen. Oh, and they share a bathroom, because of course they do. But hey, it’s for a good cause, right? So Rose and Brysen decide to coexist. There’s plenty of eye-rolling, sarcastic comments, and the occasional truce. Rose finds herself pulling out some pretty stellar design moves, and there’s even a Home Goods ad thrown in there that feels more like a real-life miracle than a product placement (no complaints—Home Goods is everything). Meanwhile, Rose crosses paths with Catie, the local EMT’s daughter, and her daughter Arabella, who are psyched about Rose taking on the project and share some tips on their family’s style. All seems cozy and heartwarming until Jake Hunter, the town reporter and former 6th-grade bully, shows up to cover the Christmas live show. He’s excited to capture the moment the Landrys receive their house, but he doubts they’ll finish it on time—until he hears Rose is involved. Brysen opens up to Rose about his parents which is why he’s crashing at Sal’s place. There’s even a moment when Rose and the Christmas tree farm owner work out a social media deal for a free tree, because sponsorships. Now we get to the montage! This movie has everything: paint splatters, hammering, some questionable Christmas music, and the surprising absence of decorating montages that are usually mandatory in these movies. The mayor checks in with only five days to go, sees that the place still looks like a war zone, and starts sweating bullets. But nope, they don’t buckle under the pressure! Instead, they head out to the skating rink for karaoke, because why not? Meanwhile, Rose and Brysen reminisce about high school, and there’s an actual moment when they start to like each other. But just when you think things are going smoothly, an icy tree branch falls and makes a hole in the roof, smashing some sentimental ornaments and sending Rose into an emotional spiral. Sal, the emotional support brother, comforts her. Then, the Landry family steps up to save the day. Even Jake puts down his camera and joins the fun. They all pull together, complete the house, and celebrate by making cookies. It’s here that Jake and Sal have an awkward-but-heartfelt talk about middle school trauma and they make up. In true dramatic fashion, Rose overhears Brysen’s ex bragging about their newfound reconciliation and decides she’s had enough of this small-town circus and leaves for Chicago. But wait! The Landry’s big reveal is on TV, and Rose realizes she’s made a mistake. She rushes back just in time to clear the air with Brysen, and they share a “finally, you idiot” kiss. No more running for Rose. As for Sal and Jake? They’re not making out, but you can feel the potential for a date over some peppermint hot chocolate and bad holiday movies. Because this is a rom-com, and everyone deserves a happy ending—even if it’s not the one they planned.

Back in 2006, we meet Charlotte and Austin. They're star-crossed lovers in the classic "we're from different worlds" trope. They sneak out of their respective houses, walk through the snow, and make their way to the horse stables for some moody, teenage romance. They kiss, they swear eternal love, they give each other gifts like a necklace and a horse book. Suddenly, Austin's dad shows up like a human snowstorm of bad advice, telling him to just join the Navy. Charlotte is going to forget all about him and he'll be better for it. Fast-forward to the present, and guess what? Dad was right. They did go their seperate ways. Austin is now running her familes estate. Their grandma died and left her estate and the family businesses to three siblings who couldn’t be more different if they tried: Charlotte, the ambitious New Yorker; Henry, the mafia-adjacent sibling with questionable life choices; and Benedict, the fancy one with a fancy girlfriend and an even fancier fake accent. Cue Rachel Boston, who rolls up to the estate playing Annie Markel, the estate planner who is giving Mary Poppins. She has a purse that is full of contracts instead of candy and umbrellas, and she’s here to stir the pot. The siblings are suspicious. But Rachel Boston, being the MVP that she is, wins them over with her expert grief counseling and unsolicited life advice. She's basically the motivational speaker your mom would hire for a family reunion. She's Matt Foley but with a car instead of a van. She also makes them decorate the house because Christmas. Austin and Charlotte reconnect when he shows her that he’s still a horse-riding, stable-owning stud. He apologizes for ghosting her for the Navy. Charlotte's all, "No hard feelings, because if you hadn't left, I wouldn’t have met my ex and had Cody, who’s the center of my universe." As the family drama unfolds, the siblings realize the board is about to vote someone in who isn’t them. They work together to figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen. Amidst the chaos, they find old memories—Henry sobs about their parents' tragic death, Benedict uncovers an old engagement ring, and Charlotte suddenly realizes, "Hey, I still love Austin!" after seeing him bond with Cody. Then, in a classic holiday move, the brothers chop down a Christmas tree together and decorate it while debating what grandma’s wishes might have been. They decide to throw a Moorehouse Christmas gathering, hoping Aunt Eloise has a crystal ball or some insight. Spoiler: she doesn’t. Things heat up when Austin and Charlotte almost kiss, but an unexpected TUBA performance and a random holiday football touchdown stop them in their tracks. Because romance. Then—because we needed more drama—Cody goes missing. The entire family, along with Rachel Boston, turns into a snow-covered search party. Henry gets roughed up by a mafia guy who threatens to cut off his fingers. But hey, Cody’s fine, and Rachel Boston finds him by the stables, where he asks her where her angel wings are. She laughs and says they’re hidden, which is both adorable and cryptic. Cue Benedict’s fancy British fiancée showing up for the Christmas party, because, of course, the plot thickens. Charlotte and Austin decide to try this whole love thing again. Just as things are looking up, Austin gets a job in Maine. He’s got to leave, but Charlotte, being the understanding goddess she is, lets him go. But Rachel Boston? Oh, she’s got a little holiday magic up her sleeve. She figures out a way for all three siblings to be on the board, with only one seat as chairman. Charlotte gets the coveted spot and rushes to tell Austin before he leaves. She wants to go with him and get Cody enrolled at the school, while she’ll work remotely. They share a kiss in the barn from Ride. Rachel Boston dips out, her job done, and leaves the family better than she found them, even though that wasn't actually that hard.

And she goes to think about it by playing pool with her assistant, but all she really wants to do is WORK!!! After a long day, she goes across the street to a diner. Right as she’s about to go to town on some pancakes, a guy named Matt comes up to her and says, “LUCY?!?!” He sits down, and they catch up. They were friends in high school, and she gets an update on everything—from his failing Broadway career to his failing marriage. He asks if she’s coming home for Christmas, and she says, “Oh no, I haven’t been home in years.” He responds, “Same ol’ Lucy.” She’s like, “WTF does that mean?” He says, “Oh, you avoid the people who are closest to you, including me. I thought you knew that.” He asks if she ever thinks about what could have been had things turned out differently. She says, “No, I’ve literally never done that…YET!” After he leaves, a nosy waitress sits down and asks Lucy if she could do her life over again, would she? Lucy replies, “Nah, hard pass.” But as Lucy starts to look around the diner, she notices that everyone is with someone else but her. So, she looks up Matt on social media and accidentally likes an old picture. Her life is essentially over! She calls an Uber, and guess who the Uber driver is? NOSEY WAITRESS! The steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car, and Lucy's phone is set to military time… and that’s just kind of the way things go sometimes. Lucy falls asleep in the backseat, and as they go over a bridge, her phone begins to glitch out. Suddenly, she’s home. Not her current home, but her childhood home. In the moment of frenzy, she forgets her phone in the car. She goes inside and sees a dog that looks just like her childhood dog but thinks they must've just gotten the same breed. But when she wakes up the next day to “Kiss Me,” she knows something is off. She is fine without her glasses and has bangs… she runs outside to grab the paper… it’s December of 1999! Her driver is out there and explains the rules: This is a Christmas gift for her, but she can’t change anything or it will change her future. Enjoy 1999! She goes inside and sees her mom baking and realizes how much she missed that. She goes outside and runs into Matt, who is her boyfriend, and he tells her, “I’ll see you tonight for the thing.” She has no idea what he’s talking about, so she goes to talk to her old best friend, Nadine, who is also a sci-fi fan, and just tells her the truth. She convinces Nadine she’s from the future, and Nadine is 100% on board for helping Lucy figure out why she’s back. She thinks it’s because she botched her first kiss with Matt. So Nadine encourages her to go kiss him ASAP! Lucy realizes that she might be sharing too much about the future when the letterhead of her partner letter goes away. So she goes to meet up with Matt and immediately kisses him, and more letterhead disappears. Her driver shows up and tells her to just relive the memories; don’t try to change anything. And nothing says relive the memories like THE REINDEER GAMES! They win, ‘cause duh. Lucy realizes she’s having an absolute blast with Matt, and it’s causing more of her letter to disappear. She goes home and is shocked when her grandparents show up—she hasn’t seen them in a long time and gets a little misty-eyed. Her grandparents warn her and her sister to prep for Y2K. Lucy goes to check on her mom, who is working like crazy in the kitchen, and she has to sit down. Lucy gives her mother great advice and lets her know that they’re all in it together and grief isn’t going to pass in a day. This causes more of her letter to vanish. Lucy keeps having heavy-hitting conversations one after another. When she sees her sister is struggling too, she goes and tells her that she knows she’s into girls. She tells her to come out when she’s ready, but her mom will be her biggest supporter. She apologizes for not being there for her when she needed her the most but tells her that she’s proud of her. Naturally, this causes more of her letter to disappear. She goes to hang out with Matt, and they almost kiss again, but they don’t. She sees that her letter is almost gone entirely. So she goes to talk to the driver and tells her that she wants to make sure she goes back to her life as it was—and she finds out that she just has to make it to Christmas Eve. She goes to see Matt in a play and quickly realizes why he didn’t make it as an actor. He runs to meet up with her after the play and tells her that he really wants to make things work with her but can sense her pulling away. She goes to do what she always would do when she needed to think—she plays some pool with her grandpa. She asks if he would change anything about his life, and he says no—everything he’s done, including the mistakes, has led to this moment right now. He wouldn’t want to miss out on that. Lucy realizes she doesn’t want to go back to her old life. She rushes to bring a mix CD to Matt and tells him that she loves him and wants to be with him forever. They kiss, and her entire new life flashes before her eyes—college, weddings, kids, Matt’s surprisingly successful acting career. Suddenly, Lucy breaks the kiss and has her glasses back. She’s back in the present, but everything is better than Lucy could have imagined—she’s really with Matt! She’s now an estate attorney. And she’s so happy. As she’s about to walk into her mom’s house, she looks out and sees her driver, and she says THANK YOU!!!

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH JoinBilt.com/DTH - to start earning points on your rent payments! Christmas Vacation Tour - StandingOvationsLive.com The movie kicks off with Erin Cahill sleuthing around, and I’m very confused because Erin Cahill isn’t Lacey Chabert. She’s climbing rocks with one hand and gets up to a rock with some sort of message on it. Suddenly, the rock slides back, and she finds a notebook. She’s pumped. AND THAT'S THE CHRISTMAS QUEST! We're back in Boston, MA, and Erin Cahill is back home with her daughter. Her daughter gives her a compass as a Christmas gift. They cuddle up on the couch, and Erin opens the special book, sharing the story of the Yule Lads. Suddenly, it’s no longer Erin Cahill reading the story. Rather, it's Lacey Chabert, who is giving a lecture at Heast College about the book her mom found. Lacey's name is Dr. Baxter, Dr. Stefani Baxter! Her boss tells her she should go find the Yule Lads’ treasure. She’s skeptical, saying treasure hunters have been trying to find it for years, and her mom gave up. It’s impossible. But he insists, presenting her with a map that might be helpful, and suggests she try to figure it out during Christmas break. Off she goes and finds a box with the Yule horn in it—pretty easily, actually. The horn is the key to finding the rest of the treasure, but she can’t read the language on the horn. However, she knows someone who can—HER EX-HUSBAND, CHASE. He’s happy to see her until he finds out it’s just because she needs him to translate something. But when he realizes it’s the Yule Horn, he can’t help himself. When he finds out they’re going to Iceland to try to find the rest of the treasure, he also can’t resist. Chase is on the case! Off to Iceland! First stop is a church, where they find a message written on the bottom of one of the tiles. The second clue is a very cryptic message about light. They notice they’re being watched by some people as they continue their journey. They travel a couple of hours to an amazing cave and find another clue. That night, they go to a bar, and she talks to a friend about what happened between them. She loves him, but he was never happy with how devoted she was to her work and expeditions, so she let him go. At the next hunt, they get stuck in a cave. One of the people who’ve been following them agrees to help them out. We then get a montage of them finding another handful of clues. This montage includes a baking sequence, so we’re all better for it. The clues ultimately bring them to an art exhibit. The only problem is that it’s closed for a fancy Christmas party. They get dressed up and almost kiss but are interrupted. They head to the party and manage to sneak in. They can’t find the treasure anywhere, so they assume it must be in storage. They sneak a keycard from Hendrick. They get caught, so they just kiss to make the person go away. They find the final clue, and that’s when the guy funding the quest shows up and drops the bomb that he’s going to call the buyer to meet them! She says she thought this was going to a museum to help preserve history. He says, "As is." So she says, "I’m out!" But Chase says he’ll stay in case they need someone to read something. It turns out he just wanted to stay close so he could steal the clue back. He meets back up with Stefani. As they’re on their way to the final clue, Stefani realizes she may have been wrong about it. They head to the first location and find another tunnel. They figure out how to open the door, and on the other side, it’s a Christmas wonderland full of Christmas... trinkets. They’re both like, “What the heck? This isn’t treasure. This is just junk.” But then she finds her mom’s compass. She realizes her mom has already found all the clues and been in this room. She realizes that her mom suddenly stopped treasure hunting one day. She must have learned that the real treasure is the people in your life, not actual treasure. She finds a note her mom wrote her. They head out, and they hear the Yule Lads laughing as the door slams shut again. They kiss each other real big, the best treasure you can find. Then they go get some eggnog and kiss some more.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH For King + Country's A Drummer Boy Christmas LIVE - in theaters December 5-9, 2024! The movie kicks off with Alana giving us the rundown on her family. Her parents met after their parents got season tickets to Chiefs games next to each other. Over time, they fell in love and kept up the tradition of having season tickets, and eventually, Alana came along. Her family now runs a Chiefs store! Alana tells the family that next Tuesday, someone special is coming. They assume it's a boy, but she's like, "No, no. We're finalists for the Fan of the Year award! If we win, it'll be huge!" And who is this person coming on Tuesday? It's Derrick. He's the head of fan engagement. Derrick is relatively new to the organization and to Kansas City. His coworkers encourage him to go to Norma and Nick's to get some authentic KC BBQ. He goes, and Donna Kelce is running the register. Naturally, Alana's mom is there, and when Alana walks in, she sits him down and immediately starts playing matchmaker. They invite him to come to Light the Block, which leads to him helping decorate. They spend the day talking and sharing Christmas traditions. Derrick explains that he doesn't really have any traditions because he moved around so much—he'd just write Santa a change of address card. After Light the Block, he comes into the store and is blown away. That's when they tell him about the magic hat—they have a hat that, if worn on Christmas Day, will take them to the Super Bowl. Grandpa was given the hat from Santa way back in 1969, and Santa said, "If you wear it on Christmas Day, your Christmas wish will come true." That year, they won the Super Bowl. But Grandpa lost the hat. Fast forward to 2019, someone brings the hat into the shop to sell it. They start wearing it again, and it works! It doesn't guarantee a Super Bowl victory, but it gets them there. Derrick expresses his doubts about the magic of the hat, and the family gets very offended and sends him on his way. The next day, he finds out that he has to go check out this amazing Chiefs store, which is a finalist for Fan of the Year. He's shocked to find out it’s Alana’s store. He walks in, and Alana is like, "You have to leave, someone from the Chiefs is coming." He responds, "It's me! Hi, I'm the problem, it's me." They show him more of the store, but Alana is just ruthless and quizzes him on his knowledge of Chiefs history, to which he fails miserably. He leaves but tells the other fan engagement folks about the hat, and they love it, especially the tie-in to Christmas. Derrick keeps finding reasons to go back and spend more time with Alana, including hosting a Gingerbread House competition at the BBQ restaurant (maybe?). One night, he goes to see one of the other finalists—a house that decorates with a Chiefs flair for Christmas. He goes for a walk and stumbles upon Alana’s family sitting out on the lawn drinking eggnog, so he just joins them. They end up singing Christmas songs, and Alana and Derrick hold hands! It’s the night of the celebration for the finalists, and he comes to pick her up. They go and have a great time. He shows her the empty stadium. They sit in her family’s seats, and she shares that the one year they didn’t wear the hat was because Grandpa was in the hospital. They end up kissing! They spend the evening walking through a Christmas festival, and the evening ends with ANOTHER KISS! They get the big news... THEY WIN! They're all going to be on the sidelines for the Christmas Day game, and it turns out it’s a MUST-WIN game! She is at this Chiefs event and has the hat on display, but the hat goes MISSING! She’s freaking out, but what can you do? He brings over a surprise: he got the original two seats where everything started. It’s very sweet, and I tear up. It’s at this party that it comes out that the hat is missing. The family is really understanding, though. She keeps thinking it’s going to show up, but it doesn’t, which leads to a big argument with Derrick because she thinks that the hat going missing is a sign they shouldn’t be together. The day finally comes for the family to be honored at the game, and she isn’t sure if she’s going to come. Finally, she decides to join the family just as Derrick is coming to get her. He surprises her by giving everyone in the stadium a replica of the hat. It’s very sweet. They kiss. The crowd cheers. They go back to their normal seats to watch the game, and magic Santa returns the hat to Alana. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Olivia is going to deliver some gifts to a rich person paying big bucks. She’s up in the mountains, and the snow really starts to come down. She knocks on the door to a cabin, and it’s not a rich lady, but rather this dude from Ben, and it’s clear they know each other. His mom made the order, and he’s as surprised to see her as she is to see him. He even knows that she drinks black coffee. It doesn’t take long for them to get into an argument about what happened between the two of them. She leaves suddenly, but doesn’t get far—the roads are officially closed. She goes back to the cabin, and he says she can stay, and he’ll just stay out of her way. She ends up helping him decorate, and the ice begins to thaw. There’s this other woman, though, who is staying at another cabin and is clearly into him. He goes to help fix her radiator. While he’s gone, Olivia decides to make a run for it, but the roads are still closed. She sees his truck at her cabin and just decides to crash the party. Anyway, they go back to his cabin and just kind of hang out, talk about them, her business, best, and bow, all sorts of stuff. She shows off her bow skills and reads his romance novel, which really works on her, and they almost kiss, but then his family shows back up. The bridge is still closed, and it looks like she won’t make it back for the gala. His mom wasn’t excited that Olivia was there, but he tells her that she really likes Olivia, and then she’s nice, and Olivia feels welcome and has a ton of fun. Thankfully, the bridge opens, and they hop in his truck to make it to the gala in time. They all win the competition. And Olivia and Ben kiss one more time under the mistletoe, and All Wrapped Up burns to the ground forever.

Watch on Philo! Philo.tv/DTH For King + Country's A Drummer Boy Christmas LIVE - in theaters December 5-9, 2024! VisitGreenvilleSC.com/Things-To-Do/Winter/ The movie starts with a fun fashion title card. We meet Celeste, who wants to be a hot-shot designer, but her boss doesn't even know she exists! She comes home and is shocked to find her boyfriend, Jason, there. He surprises her with a quick one-hour Christmas celebration. He asks Celeste if he can come home with her for Christmas and book a first-class flight, which he is able to do because he knows people. Celeste’s family is kind of royalty in this small town—her dad is the pastor, and her mom is the mayor. Pastor Mark puts together a Christmas festival, and he really wants his daughter to end up with her hunky ex-boyfriend, Dean. So when she shows up with boyfriend Jason, Pastor Mark is less than thrilled. He reluctantly allows Jason to stay in their basement. When they find out that his church is going to be remodeled in the new year, Celeste gets a little sad because she always wanted to get married in the church she grew up in. So, Jason gets down on one knee and proposes that they get married on Christmas Eve. Pastor Mark is not thrilled. Neither is Dean, when he shows up with flowers and is very confused. Jason is concerned when he finds out that they have to go through Pastor Mark's marriage boot camp... and I mean, fair. And this boot camp is intense—day one involves gingerbread house building. Day two? A blindfolded golf cart race. All the important pre-marital counseling activities. They are really up against it, but it doesn't seem to be bothering them. In fact, Celeste seems to be thriving, wheeling and dealing. Pastor Mark seems to be letting Jason in a little bit. They even go out for eggnog. But Pastor Mark just can't bear the thought of his daughter moving away forever, so he keeps acting like a little baby boy. Jason's parents come into town, and Pastor Mark tells Celeste and Jason that they have to make dinner for everyone. They're all going to be really mean to them for no reason. Celeste gets a call that she’s gotten her dream job back in NYC. When Pastor Mark finds out, he acts like a ding-dong, and everyone gets mad at him and tells him he's being an awful father. There's a misunderstanding when Jason sees Celeste hugging Dean, but it doesn’t really matter. Pastor Mark finally tells his daughter that he's sorry for being a jerk. They wake up, still get married, and dance. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH #Sponsored by BetterHelp BetterHelp.com/Hallmark - for 10% off your first month #ad The movie kicks off in the big city for the annual Jingle Belle's live show. They're knockoff Rockettes. The people love it. I do not. In the middle of it all is Ashley Davis. She's a legend who has apparently been doing the Jingle Belle show for 12 years! Her boss asks to see her one night after a show — she is NOT being aged out, but she IS being replaced. She doesn't even get to finish out the season. She leaves and screams, "AGGHHHHHHHH!" She goes home to watch some Netflix Christmas movies and drown her sorrows in popcorn. Her mom calls and says that, since they know she's too busy to come to them, they're coming to her. They even bought tickets to see The Jingle Belle. She says, "No, no, that won't be necessary. I'll come to you." So, she heads to her hometown of Sycamore Creek and is dropped off at The Rhythm Room. She immediately gets tangled up in some garland that a hunk is putting up on the lampposts. The Rhythm Room is the venue her parents own. They hug, and then the parents immediately go to meet with the women who own the building. Turns out, the landlord keeps raising the rent on them, making it hard for the venue to bring in big artists, which makes it hard to make money, which makes it hard to fix the faucets. But who needs money when you have a Luke? Luke is the garland guy from before, who also comes by and helps with repairs when they need him. He agrees to give Ashley a ride to her parents' place, and they spend the ride talking and getting to know each other a little bit. The next day, she heads down to the venue, and it doesn't take long for Luke to show up shirtless. She finds out that her parents are in quite the bind, and there's a juice bar interested in taking over the lease and back-paying the 6 months' rent they're behind. When all is said and done, her parents are in a $30,000 hole. But something the landlord says inspires Ashley to put together an all-male dance crew that will bring in the people. And who better to lead the revue than shirtless Luke? She'll call them the Merry Gentlemen... THAT'S THE NAME OF THE MOVIE! Luke is hesitant at first, but if it helps save The Rhythm Room, he'll give it a shot. She recruits the hunky bartender and her sister's husband, who also happens to be a stripper for bachelorette parties. She works on coming up with a routine, and the guys are all taking it seriously. Luke doesn't feel like he's getting it, so she slow dances with him, and the sparks begin to FLY! It's finally time for the big revue debut, and Luke is freaking out and breathing into a bag. Luckily, Ashley has some tricks that she's picked up to help with nerves. The tickets are $30 a pop, and the crowd... well, it's a start. But the boys crush it, and the crowd LOVES it. The night is a success, and the landlord tells Ashley to keep up the great work. Luke congratulates Ashley on her big success, gives her a necklace, and asks to walk her home. They get some pizza and really start to open up to one another. She didn't expect to enjoy directing a show as much as she did. She finds another dancer, and they start putting together some new dances. Everything is going great! They're even selling out! But one of the guys slips and falls, spraining his ankle just before showtime. This throws the boys off, and they have to press pause to try to figure something out. Luckily, there's a guy named Danny who is always at the bar doing a crossword puzzle, and he joins in on the fun. It works. Another successful night! After the 12/21 show, they're only about $10,000 short. Ashley goes to talk to Luke some more in his barn. Talking leads to dancing, and dancing leads to kissing. They are so close to the $30,000 goal when Ashley gets a call from her old boss — they have a 911 situation, and she needs her back ASAP. They're willing to give her a 25% raise and a 3-year contract. The problem? She needs to be back by the big Christmas Day show. She goes to talk to her parents, and they tell her that she has to take the offer. It's her dream. She texts her boss and takes the offer. Luke doesn't take the news as well. "The city girls are all the same," he says. "The only reason I was doing this show is because of how inspiring you are." She heads off to the airport, and he goes on stage to start dancing, but he can't do it. Suddenly, she walks in, and he can dance again. She tells him that she could do it, she couldn't leave. They celebrate with a big kiss — complete WITH A LIFT! They all celebrate Christmas together with Christmas dinner at The Rhythm Room, and they share one more big ol' kiss!

The store isn’t doing well, and Sawyer is considering selling it. Harper has some ideas to help, like hosting live events at night and organizing giveaways, but Sawyer is resistant. To humor her, he challenges her to beat him in the town’s reindeer games before he’ll let her try her “silly” ideas. Meanwhile, Harper discovers that Sawyer is an aspiring author. When she offers to help with his manuscript, he’s initially defensive, exclaiming, “HOW DARE YOU!” Eventually, they start working on it together, and Harper surprises him by getting it published. The book becomes a hit, turning Sawyer into a rising literary star. As his fame grows, he starts traveling, leaving the bookstore and their budding relationship behind. But in the end, Sawyer returns to the small town, and they share a romantic kiss, proving that sometimes, love writes the best ending.

We're at the Holly Hills Post Office, where every year, Brian and the other postal workers judge the best Christmas card. The winner goes on the Wall of Fame. It’s Settie’s dream to win, but the same person has won 18 years in a row. Cut to a year later, and Settie sits down to write her annual newsletter. To her surprise, it doesn’t just write itself. She thinks, "If only I had this famous author to write my Christmas card!" This author, Juan, wrote her current favorite book. So, she decides to go for it and emails Juan’s manager, offering to pay him to come to her town and write the letter for her. Juan, who's in a bit of a funk, agrees to take the gig. When he arrives, he gets into a rideshare with Settie’s daughter, Lilly. When Settie’s rival, Sue, shows up, they lie and tell her that Lilly and Juan are engaged. Juan agrees to stay, though he’s completely confused about what’s going on. But after meeting Sue, he realizes he can’t stand her and decides to stay for a while longer. Soon enough, sparks begin to fly between Lilly and Juan for real. But Juan is still struggling with writer’s block, even when it comes to the Christmas card. Meanwhile, Sue has been running things in town for too long—she even has rules about how people can decorate for Christmas. So, to surprise Settie, Lilly and Juan stay up all night decorating Sue’s yard with Christmas lights and lawn ornaments. They love the result. But the night isn’t over. Lilly and Juan run lines for a play she’s auditioning for, and they share a kiss—purely for the love of the art, of course. Sue thinks she’s figured out who Juan really is and confronts him at a Christmas party. But she’s wrong—he’s not in the mafia at all. However, it’s revealed that Sue doesn’t actually write her own Christmas letter. After the excitement of the party, Lilly and Juan share some big kisses. Juan gives Settie the Christmas letter she asked for, but she decides that she wants to write her own letter after all. The next day at breakfast, Settie reads the letter she wrote out loud, and it’s perfect—honest, heartfelt, and even admitting she hired a ghostwriter. She also explains how she fell back in love with Christmas, and how her family’s Christmas traditions are perfect just the way they are. The letter ends up winning the Christmas card contest, and we all cheer. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

We then see a year go by and see them grow closer and closer. We're back to another Christmas season and he proposes! Now it's time to meet the parents - up first is Asha's family. Asha's dad is a real hoot who does some classic fatherly hazing to Jake such as giving him a hard time about his rental car, getting on him about not asking for his blessing, and tricking him into eating some real hot chicken. They go to meet Jake's dad and it's a different vibe and they end up getting into a bit of an argument about how many kids they'll have. His dad expresses concern over Jake not being ready for marriage. Jake's parents are divorced, hence his fathers hesitancy towards marriage, so they go to meet his mom. She's much more excited for them to get married and also excited to show off her knowledge of Indian culture she's learned from pop culture. The next day, Jake falls off a ladder when he finds out that he's not the first guy to propose to Asha. She explains to him that her dad really liked this guy but i didn't and I said no.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH PrettyLitter.com/DTH - 20% off your first order + a free toy TylerShawMusic.com The movie kicks off with great animation, and that's how you know you're dealing with a heavy-hitter flick. We meet Avery, a school teacher who makes toddlers give speeches about Christmas ornaments. She loves crossword puzzles and juice boxes. While she's in the teacher’s lounge, other teachers keep congratulating her, but she has no idea why. Her best friend Ruby explains that she signed her up to be a competitor on The Great Holiday Dash, something that is definitely NOT The Amazing Race. Avery is not thrilled. Cut to Andrew Walker, selling juice—a real stretch for my boy AW. His character’s name is Wes, a retired professional athlete looking for his next big thing, and it turns out that next big thing is The Great Holiday Dash. Avery thinks it over and realizes it could be a great way to bring attention to her school and maybe even get some extra funding. So she starts training, even though she’s never done anything like this before. She ends up meeting Wes at the gym, and it does not go well. Classic treadmill situation. The competition begins, and Wes is shocked to see Avery from the gym there. The game is simple: there’s one silver bell hidden somewhere in America. The first one to find it wins. But this year, the contestants won’t compete individually—they’ll team up in pairs. Naturally, Avery and Wes are teamed up. The game kicks off with one team being eliminated after the first round. Luckily, Avery and Wes crack enough nuts to move on to the second round, which takes them to Boston. The next game involves shooting pucks, which works great for Wes. Producer Dirk pulls Wes aside and tells him to flirt more with Avery for the ratings—“Wes, you’re the star! A little flirting will really boost the numbers.” That night, Wes and Avery actually connect. Gotta hate when that happens. The next day, they head to New York City for a window display competition. Instead of immediately diving into the task, they spend more time talking and getting to know each other. Their theme is “Three French Hens,” so they go with a French theme for their display, and it looks amazing—almost like professionals came in afterward and finished it for them. And good for them—they WIN the round! They hug, and Producer Dirk tells Wes, “Good job.” Next, they head to Texas for a dance contest. This competition is a little weird, but their dance quickly turns sexy, and they win again. After a hitchhiking detour, they assume they’re out, but surprise—they’re not! So that’s a relief. They head to Oregon for the next round, but first, there’s an extracurricular gift exchange, for reasons that are unclear. Avery and Wes make it to the finals, and the sparks are flying. However, when Avery overhears a conversation between Wes and the producer, she gets really mad. What she doesn’t hear, though, is Wes telling the producer that he doesn’t want to play the game anymore because he’s really into her. The producer tells her about Wes’ feelings right before the final competition. They do a crossword puzzle and race to find the best gift under the tree. Wes falls and hurts his leg, so Avery continues on alone—and wins!!! They celebrate by announcing what they’re going to do with their prize money—both plan to give back to the community. In the end, they make up and and make out. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH TylerShawMusic.com The movie kicks off with some narration about the Christmas magic of snow in fairy tales. But this isn’t just any normal fairy tale. Cut to a house, all decorated for Christmas. The camera pans over to the house next door, which is dark and cold. Inside is Kathy, who is just as cold as her surroundings, while a truly awful version of "Jingle Bell Rock" plays in the background. We learn that Kathy runs a diner, and although her house may imply otherwise, she isn’t nearly as miserable as it seems. The diner keeps her busy, and she likes it that way. She goes to serve a couple some food, and they encourage her to get back out there. Before she leaves, they give her a scarf. While walking through the town square, Kathy comes across a very muscular snowman. She drapes the scarf around it and takes a picture. That night, the magic winds blow, and the snowman comes to life — with the long scarf still around his neck, if you catch my drift. He starts walking around town, taking in the sights and sounds, but soon realizes he’s not wearing any clothes. Desperate, he breaks into a store and grabs the first thing he finds to cover himself. The next day, Kathy parks her car and sees a man who appears to be talking to the other snowmen. He notices her and excitedly tells her what happened to him. She’s confused but invites him to her diner. Meanwhile, the police chief, Nate, investigates the break-in. "Stuff like this doesn’t happen in his town!" he declares, taking the case very seriously. Back at the diner, Kathy tries to figure out this guy’s name. The shirt he stole has "Jack" written on it, so they go with that. Jack explains that he was the snowman Kathy put the scarf on. Kathy thinks he’s crazy but also feels sorry for him since he’s freezing. She takes him to the doctor, who suggests that maybe Jack is telling the truth — who can say for sure? They discuss finding Jack a place to stay, but he insists on staying with Kathy because he feels safe with her. She reluctantly agrees, bringing him to her house and leaving him in front of the TV. After watching several channels, Jack snoops around her house and finds pictures of Kathy with a man and some medical forms about chemotherapy. That night, Kathy comes home and realizes that the police are looking for Jack. She tells him to lay low. In return, Jack shows her that he made homemade pizza crust and eggnog. He also asks her about her late husband, and she opens up to him. The next day, Jack finds the home improvement channel and decides to get to work fixing up Kathy’s house. But when a woman named Jane sees him shirtless, she crashes her car. She brings him to her house to help with repairs and later takes him to the diner, where Sheriff Nate is also present. He’s immediately suspicious of Jack and his strange habit of eating ice. Despite the sheriff’s suspicions, Kathy is moved by Jack’s hard work and enthusiasm. She tells him that he can help out at the school, where he quickly becomes a hit. Jack is loving life, and Kathy starts to enjoy his company, though she admits that she can’t love anyone until she learns to love herself first. As Jack helps decorate for the school’s Christmas ball, he realizes he wants to ask Kathy out. With some encouragement from Deputy Schatz, Jack finally works up the courage. After some hesitation, he tells Kathy, "I don’t want to lay low. I want to stand tall." She agrees, and they go fancy shopping and have a wonderful time. Later, they go to the school dance and have the best time of their lives. They step outside to cool off, and they almost kiss, but Jack pulls back. He says, "The more I fall in love with you, the more I can’t stand the thought of hurting you if I melt." They share a hug. On Christmas Eve, Kathy hosts a gathering at the diner. Suddenly, Sheriff Nate comes in and arrests Jack after finding a picture of him at the ATM. Kathy rushes to check on Jack and discovers he’s melting. She runs to get all the money in her safe, but it’s not enough. The townspeople, however, come together and contribute their own money — it’s a "It’s a Wonderful Life" moment. Sheriff Nate counts the money, but after seeing how much it means to the town, he returns it to Kathy. She rushes to Jack, who is in a bad state. The townspeople carry him out into the snow, but he doesn’t wake up. Desperate, Kathy leans down and tells Jack that she loves him before kissing him. She begins to walk away, but suddenly Jack stands up. They embrace, and Kathy notices something’s different. Jack says, "I don’t know what’s up," and shivers. Kathy exclaims, "You’re cold!" They kiss again as the crowd cheers. They spend Christmas together, repair the heating in her house, and then head off to Hawaii for a well-deserved vacation.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH TylerShawMusic.com The movie kicks off with a great rendition of Deck the Halls that might be the new theme song for Deck the Hallmark. Cut to a woman driving in a car, giving herself a pep talk and talking to herself and her baby, whom she is pregnant with. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain, drives into a town, and runs into a diner, saying she thinks she's going into labor but that the snow is really coming down. Luckily, there’s a doctor in the diner who has personally delivered over 100 babies! The birth is successful, and the baby is healthy. She names her Evie Lang. The group takes a picture to celebrate—there’s a doctor, a police officer, a lawyer, and some other fancy folks. The doctor gives the baby a little checkup and realizes the baby may have an abdominal blockage, so they all work together to get the baby to the hospital. They save the baby’s life, take up a collection to pay the hospital bill, and send them on their way. Cut to the present day, when the mother, Elizabeth Lane, is giving a speech about the success of her skincare brand, Lane Cosmetics. Evie is now an adult, and her mom brings her up on stage to celebrate the success of women. Evie is clearly uncomfortable being on stage. She’s in fashion but isn’t having much success. Her mom tells her she’s been spoiled and needs to learn how to do something hard. So she gives her the Polaroid of the people who helped her on the night she was born. Her mom explains that Evie has to go and find these people and grant Christmas wishes to each of them. If she fails this mission, she’ll lose her trust fund. So, Evie heads back to the town and is disappointed by the absolutely massive inn she has to stay in. She goes by the name of Mary so as not to give herself away. She decides to go and ask the only attorney in town for help finding the people in this picture. He says, “I could do that, but why would I?” She says she wants to give them an award. He replies, “That’s not what this town is all about, especially dressed like that.” So, she goes to find an outfit that’s a bit more low-key. They go and grab a bite to eat, and the diner owner tells them the story of what happened that night. Kyle agrees to help her find the people, but they’re going to go at his pace. Up first is Roy, and Evie ends up being voluntold to be the elf in the town square. The diner owner quickly figures out who she is, and she comes clean. She asks what his wish is. At first, he’s hesitant but tells her to let him think on it. She is blown away by how nice everyone in this town is and realizes that’s going to make it hard for her to finish this project quickly. The next day, she ends up backing out and almost hitting a police car. Turns out, that cop is someone she needs to repay, but she doesn’t want to reveal her true identity, so she ends up getting arrested. Evie is blown away by the kindness and doesn’t know how she’s going to repay them. She finds out that someone has been this town’s Secret Santa—paying hospital bills, etc., for a long time. She calls her mom, and her mom explains that she tried to repay everyone many moons ago but couldn’t do it. So, good luck, kid. It’s just your trust fund at risk. The pressure is mounting, and what better way to deal with said pressure than by ice skating with Kyle? She decides to tell him the truth about who she is, and Kyle’s like, “Oh, yeah, I know.” But he was unaware that she was doing this just to make sure she didn’t lose her trust fund. You can tell he’s like, “Oh, boo hoo to you,” but they continue their quest, and he continues to just watch her from afar. The diner owner is impressed by Evie, and he calls Elizabeth to encourage her to come and see all the good that Evie has been doing in the town. So, Elizabeth comes, and she’s so proud of Evie. She has done so much good. She finds out that Kyle’s dad was the one who took the picture, so she has to make his wish come true. They have a birthday party at the diner for Evie, and she tells her mom she wants to do more of this kind of stuff with her trust fund. She asks Kyle what he wants, and he says, “I want you,” and they kiss. Everyone takes one more picture together.

The movie starts with Mia in some sort of fantasy sequence that reminds me of a really weird fantasy romance novel. Turns out, she's just sleeping on the job. Silly Mia! Her friends wake her up and tease her for dreaming about that guy from her books again. It’s going to be a crazy week—busy, busy, busy! But if I’ve learned anything from the first movie, it’s that Mia will barely have to work in this one, with little to no consequences for the business. Mia’s sister asks her to watch her cat, but Mia is allergic, so she ends up falling asleep at the office again. She dreams about the book prince once more when there's a knock at the door. Gotta be honest—the lower third of his face looks a whole lot like the lower third of the dream prince’s face. He buys something and hands her a $100 bill. The next day, her friends tease her, thinking she's still dreaming, but then he shows up again. She’s not dreaming! Turns out, his name is Beau Cavannagh. The Cavannagh family is super wealthy, and Beau is next in line to run the whole thing. This is the type of family that has his entire life planned out, including who he’s supposed to end up with. In fact, he’s already engaged. But he keeps coming around, and the sparks are flying. There’s a lot of "will they or won’t they?" I think they will.

Rose Walsh is a home renovator who insists on being present anytime there's a showing of one of her properties. She’s interested in a cottage in Ireland and puts in an offer to a man named Sean—though her approach is unnecessarily spicy. When she arrives in Ireland, Sean recognizes her on the street and tries to talk to her, but she’s immediately wary—like STRANGER DANGER. She later shows up at the cottage, only to be shocked when she discovers that Sean is the same guy from the city. She declares that she’s going to flip the house, but he argues that house flipping is the worst thing to ever happen to homes. She insists, "Just show me the house." To her dismay, the house is an absolute disaster—she’s been house-fished. Sean tells her she should have read the fine print, and she’s left feeling discouraged. Things take an unexpected turn when she discovers that Sean essentially runs the town—he’s everything from the fire marshal to the local real estate agent. Although Rose is dead set against selling the house, the townspeople are eager for her to do so. Sean offers to help make the situation right. As Rose works on fixing up the house, Sean spends as much time with her as possible. They go out drinking, stay up all night, and somehow manage to form fully functioning sentences—so, things are going pretty well. They eventually agree that what the house really needs, more than a functioning roof or repairs, is a Christmas tree. Rose finally gets the house ready for a showing, and a couple expresses interest. When they ask why she’s selling, she admits, "I don’t know. Maybe I want to stay after all." In a wild twist, a woman—who turns out to be a famous pop star who’s recently shaved her head—arrives in the town, hiding from the public eye. Rose struggles with whether or not she should sell the house, even after receiving an offer. Sean keeps urging her to make a decision, not only because the buyers are pushing for an answer, but because he’s also super into her. During a romantic picnic, they almost kiss, but Rose says she needs more time. On the day of the cold plunge, Rose arrives and tells Sean she’s found a home—not with the cottage, but with him. He tells her that they don’t have to stay in Ireland; he’d go anywhere with her. They head to the water for the cold plunge, share a kiss, and run into the sea together.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH JoinBilt.com/DTH - to start earning points on your rent payments! Astronomy Professor Celeste is super excited about the annual Christmas Trivia Contest at Nick's Bar. It's a big deal—and not just for bragging rights. The winner gets a trophy called "The Stan," named after the best trivia competitor Nick's has ever seen. Celeste feels really good about this year because she has Richard, a two-time Jeopardy! winner, on her team! She loves everything about the university where she teaches—except for football. Speaking of football, meet Max, the offensive coordinator. He doesn't really have any plans this holiday season because his parents are going on a cruise. We're one day away from the first round, and Richard backs out. Celeste is really stressed. So stressed, in fact, that she gets mad at Max over how he handles the buffet—something she's downright wrong about. It's time for the first round, and Max shows up just to watch. But when the first round turns out to be about sports, they pull Max in to join the team, much to Celeste's chagrin. The first round ends, and they're down by one point. The rest of the team loves Max and wants him to stay for the next five days. Celeste protests, saying, "I'm sure he's busy." Max responds, "I'm actually wide open." Celeste is annoyed, but she knows winning is everything. Celeste clearly cares about this more than the rest of her team. She stays up all night studying and shows up the next day feeling incredibly intense. But does it help them win? No. In fact, they come in last place on night two. Max decides that the problem is they forgot to have fun. The next day, he invites the team to play a game of "Capture the Star" on the rock wall—an old classic. His theory? "If we have fun, we'll be happy. And if we're happy, we might just win." Celeste is hesitant but gives in—and ends up having a good time, maybe because they’re winning. Afterward, instead of studying, Celeste goes with Max to buy a Christmas tree, and they actually end up having a great time talking and getting to know each other. It's time for round three, and the "fun" strategy works! They go double or nothing and win first place in the round. Celeste and Max celebrate with a hug, and the sparks fly. He walks her home, and they connect even further. Max is pumped! The next day, they all gather for a Christmas Scavenger Hunt because Celeste thinks it could come in handy for trivia. But worst-case scenario, at least they’ll have fun! They split into teams of two, and of course, Celeste and Max team up. She’s shocked to find out that he’s a big reader—and it turns out this is the reason they don’t win the hunt. But she’s actually okay with it. It’s time for the next round, and they CRUSH IT! The team morale is at an all-time high, and Max and Celeste aren't tired at all. So, she takes him stargazing, and they have the best time. The good times keep rolling—at one point, they even hold hands. But they lose track of time. They’re rushing back for trivia when they have to swerve out of the way of some reindeer and end up with a flat tire. While waiting for a mechanic, Celeste snaps at Max for how they’ve lost focus on what's important. They make it back just in time for trivia—but not in time to save their first-place standing. They fall back to third. The next day, Celeste tries to get in touch with Max but can’t reach him. She assumes he’s mad at her. It turns out his phone broke, and he spent Christmas Eve trying to find a replacement. They make up and share a big kiss. They arrive just in time for the final round, and thanks to Max actually studying, the team ends up winning! Everyone celebrates by kissing. The provost speaks with Celeste and tells her that her new telescope has been approved—thanks to the money the football team brought in this year. Maybe football isn’t so bad after all. Max and Celeste agree to participate in trivia again next year, sealing it with a kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH HomeAloneTour.com Olivia, a little girl, writes a letter to Santa asking him to reveal who her one true love will be. They go to sleep and wake up the next morning to find Santa has brought her a dollhouse. Stupid Santa. She thinks, "I'm sure Santa will give me a name soon—how long could it really take?" Fast forward 25 years: Olivia is now a hotshot dealmaker who always rates her Uber driver with stars and hands money to the Santa ringing a bell on the street. She works as a designer for sets at Style Home Network. As she's preparing for an upcoming shoot, Olivia gets called into her boss's office. They're interested in having her on camera! She's pumped—this is what she's worked for. But her excitement is quickly extinguished when she finds out Chris Davis is directing the special. Chris directs a show called Model Home, which Olivia thinks is tacky. She’s unsure how to feel, so she hops into her Uber and vents to the driver, Rodney, about how she thinks Chris is the worst possible choice. Rodney encourages her to give Chris a chance. Olivia asks, "How did you know his last name?" and then realizes, to her surprise, that Rodney isn’t really Rodney—it's Chris Davis in disguise. Chris explains that the network bought Olivia's childhood home for the remodel, and it’s going to be the feature of the special. Olivia protests that the house needs too much work for a one-episode show—it should be a full season. But Chris doesn’t budge, even when he almost falls through the wall. Olivia invites her sister Darcy over for some inspiration, and while they’re there, they hear a strange ringing in the walls. Olivia reaches inside a vent and finds a letter addressed to her. To her shock, it’s the letter she wrote to Santa all those years ago. She opens it, and a mysterious rhyme reveals her one true love's name: Nick. Olivia scoffs and throws the letter in the trash, but the next morning, it reappears in her possession. She throws it away again. Then, Olivia has not one, but three rom-com-worthy meet-cutes. She has an encounter with a Nick A in a coffee shop after a coffee swap, spills her coffee on a Nick B, and narrowly avoids getting hit by a truck thanks to a Nick C, who rescues her. And the letter keeps showing up! Olivia gets all three Nicks’ numbers and decides, "When life gives you three Nicks, you go on three dates." But will she even have time? She’s got a meeting with Chris at the house. The meeting doesn’t exactly go well. Her date with Nick A is next. He’s rented out an entire ice rink for just the two of them. They have a great time—until she accidentally pops a bottle of champagne cork right into his eye. Their romantic evening ends with a trip to the hospital, but they laugh it off. Back on set, Olivia and Chris’s relationship is still tense, but there's some undeniable flirty energy. Then, Olivia and Darcy visit a custom woodworking shop for potential show inspiration—and it turns out Nick B owns the shop. The pair head to a Christmas festival, where Olivia accidentally hits Nick B in the head with a snowball during a competition with Chris. He jokes, "Guess I'm a knock-out," but it’s hard to ignore the growing tension between Olivia and Nick B. Olivia’s date with Nick C is a disaster. He’s a firefighter who’s posing for a calendar, and after a cookie incident that triggers his nut allergy, he ends up in the hospital. Womp womp. Olivia is starting to freak out—what is she supposed to do? That’s when the letter in her purse changes again. This time, it says she must choose the right Nick by midnight on Christmas Eve. Darcy encourages her to date all three Nicks as much as possible before then. Cue the dating montage. While at her childhood home, Olivia finds Christmas decorations she thought were lost forever, bringing back fond memories. Chris stops by and suggests using some of her old sketches as inspiration for the remodel, which could save money on the set design. Olivia begins to warm to Chris, especially when he implements ideas from her sketches in the dining room. On a date with Nick C (still everyone’s least favorite), Olivia is inspired to put a giant bow on the house. Oddly, Chris agrees with the idea. He shows her the dining room, where he’s incorporated her childhood designs. Olivia starts to soften toward Chris. He’s actually pretty great, and they both want the same thing. But just as things start to look promising, Nick B arrives with a handmade reindeer. They talk about where to go on their date, but Olivia feels a disconnect with him. Then, she shows up at Chris’s house to decorate his tree, but when he invites her in, she insists she’s got plans. They try hugging twice, but it doesn’t quite happen, so they settle for a fist bump. Olivia giggles and walks away. On her date with Nick A, they’re under the mistletoe. He leans in for a kiss to take her mind off work, and sparks fly. The next day at work, Olivia and Chris watch the final cut of their pre-recorded segment. To celebrate, Chris surprises her with a winter wonderland set up at the network's prop warehouse. There’s even a snow machine. It’s magical. They walk out of the set and give money to a British Santa ringing a bell. Just as they almost kiss, Olivia gets a text, snapping her back to reality. As Christmas Eve approaches, Olivia is faced with the tough decision of choosing which Nick to pursue. The letter changes one final time, and the time has come to pick. It’s Christmas Eve, and Olivia is preparing for the live broadcast. All three Nicks show up to surprise her. Just as she’s about to go live, the three of them realize they’re all dating the same woman and end up in a ridiculous inflatable candy cane fight in the background of the broadcast. Olivia runs out to stop them, but they demand she choose. She can’t pick, so all three leave, and Chris storms off angrily. The special is a flop—or so Olivia thinks. Surprisingly, social media loves her and the Nicks, and the special goes viral. Olivia gets offered her own show! Olivia realizes that Chris is her Christmas dream man, but she’s going to have to stop him before his train leaves at midnight. Her sister locks her keys in the car, so they take a one-horse open sleigh to the station. Chris is at the train station when Olivia arrives, just as the train is about to leave. He’s talking to a British Santa in street clothes, and the two chat briefly. Chris goes to board the train but finds a letter instead of his ticket. The letter tells him getting on the train would be the biggest mistake of his life. Olivia arrives just as the train departs. But Chris isn’t on the train. He’s holding the letter that told him to stay. They apologize for how things went and admit they’ve both fallen for each other. Just as they’re about to kiss, the intercom announces a Nick Davis is needed. Olivia asks, “Wait, your name is Nick?” Chris explains, “Yeah, but I’ve gone by my middle name since I was a kid.” The clock strikes midnight, snow begins to fall, and they kiss—a big one. And just like that, Jack is alive. Olivia says, “This was worth waiting for,” and they kiss some more.

The movie kicks off in... Chicago. But if you think that the Pentatonix are only popular in New York City, you'd be incorrect. Layla is at the airport to catch a flight home to New York City, but her flight is delayed. She FaceTimes her boyfriend, Tanner, and says, "Don't worry, I'll be home before our annual Pentatonix Christmas concert." He rolls his eyes and reminds her—and us—that they go every year. She says, "AND IT'S AWESOME." Tanner, not so sure. But she’s taking the delay well because she gets lounge access. While getting food, she bumps into a good-looking fella with a ton of layers on, and he has a couple of teacups in his hands—he says they're Christmas gifts. She sits down, prepared to watch It's a Wonderful Life on her phone and drink some wine, but ANOTHER hunk sits next to her. They immediately start hitting it off. His name is James—some might say Jimmy, but who knows? She finds one of the teacups in her bag, and he's like, "Just keep it. Maybe you can fill it with..." and they both say "paperclips" at the same time. She introduces him to Pentatonix, and he’s like, “I gotta get out of here ASAP." His flight is boarding. On his way out, he shoots his shot—he says, "In one year, if for some reason you're single, let's meet up at the Christmas Eve Pentatonix show." She says, “I’m flattered, but probably not happening, maybe.” Cut to one year later, and she did use that cup for paperclips and whatnot. She is still with Tanner. She goes home early to set up a romantic night with Tanner, but... he’s with another girl! IT IS SO OVER WITH TANNER! She’s moping around with her BFF and talking about airport James. Her friend tries to look up airport James on social media. Suddenly, she remembers THE PLAN! But she doesn’t have Pentatonix tickets this year because Tanner wanted to go see Macklemore. And tickets are sold out. She’s bummed, but then she sees a picture of James buying a ticket on the website! She’s committed to getting the tickets! But no luck. So, as a last-ditch effort, they decide to give Impromptu a shot—a service that can get you anything you need, at a cost. And who works at Impromptu? Teacup guy from the airport. His name is Teddy. Layla is going to be his client. He knows he knows her from somewhere but can’t place it. He looks up to see if they have a ticket in the database, but no luck. He says he knows a guy, but he has to go see him in person. She insists on going with him. His guy is nowhere to be found, but she thinks she found a guy who’s willing to sell his ticket to her. So, they go to meet him at this bar. She pays him more than she has by giving him a necklace. Turns out, it was a ticket for last year! While that’s happening, Teddy has slid into the Pentatonix DMs. They don’t respond right away, but Teddy keeps sending them info, including that he got pepper-sprayed—he really needs that ticket. While waiting to hear back from them, Teddy gets a lead—one of his clients is interested in potentially selling his ticket. Turns out, the clients are very odd but interested in giving them the ticket in exchange for them picking up a Chanel purse for him. They get to the Chanel store and have to wait in a very long line. Teddy flirts with a Chanel worker, and it’s looking good because that worker is going to snag the last one for them. But Layla gets "Christmas shoe'd" and decides they deserve the bag instead. Teddy keeps messaging Pentatonix, and Pentatonix is now cheering for Teddy and Layla to end up together. And after Teddy cooks her an amazing meal, Layla might be rooting for that too. Suddenly, Teddy gets good news—his cousin has two Pentatonix tickets. When they get there, they find out it's a bit more complicated. In order to get those two tickets, they have to team up to win a Christmas lip-sync competition. They work on it, then take a pit stop in the kitchen, and it’s at this point that she sees the same little teacup. It all comes together that they met last Christmas. There's a baking montage, and the sparks are beginning to fly hard. She ends up falling asleep on the couch. The next day, they go to the performance and crush it... AND IT ENDS WITH A KISS. They... get second place. The Pentatonix have been keeping up with it on social media, and even though they think Teddy and Layla should be together, they think Layla has the right to make a well-rounded choice. So, Layla is going to get a ticket, but Teddy has to come too and play Santa. Turns out, the Pentatonix just want to know if Teddy has a crush on Layla. And it turns out Layla has completely fallen for Teddy. She decides she’s going to go to the show to get TEDDY, not James. So she heads out into the snow as that classic Christmas song, "Hallelujah," plays. James gets to the venue and stands outside, flowers in hand, waiting on Layla. He starts walking away as she runs in. She gets her ticket from the box office and decides she needs to see Teddy ASAP. She goes to run backstage and bumps into James first. She says, "Oh hey, James, I’m not here for you, I’m here for Teddy. Sorry about that." Turns out, he was there to meet another woman anyway. Teddy very nervously comes down the chimney on stage as Santa and makes a big love declaration, hoping that Layla is listening. She’s not, though, because she’s still trying to get in through the back door. Finally, she runs back up to the front, barges in, and yells that she feels the same way. They share a big kiss as the Pentatonix sing around them. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

We’re on a beach, which might make you think it’s not Christmas—but it is. How do we know? Well, a grandma and her granddaughter are wearing Santa hats! The grandma finds a St. Nicholas locket and explains to her granddaughter that with the name on the back of it, she’s going to work hard to find the owner. The girl, Audrey, shows Grandma a drawing she made for her for Christmas. They go back to Grandma’s shop, where they put the locket in a secret spot and frame the picture. Cut to the present day: Audrey is now a big-city artist. She’s heading back home for the holidays for the first time since Grandma passed away. Her mom tells her that Grandma left her the old desk in her will and requested that Audrey look in the secret spot. Inside, there’s a letter and five gold rings. In the letter, Grandma asks Audrey to work to return these five gold rings to their owners, just like they used to do every Christmas. She also insists that Audrey ask Finn O’Sullivan for help. So, Audrey goes straight to Finn’s office—he’s a private eye. Finn was actually the first person she and Grandma returned an item to. He was just a kid back then, but now he’s all grown up. They quickly catch up on the important stuff, like whether either of them is in a relationship—they’re not. Then, they get to work on the first ring. They’re able to figure out that it has something to do with a dancer who played Clara. After a few dead ends and a snowman-making break, they finally track her down. She’s thrilled! Onto the next: one night, Audrey is looking at one of the rings that has a small box attached. It pops open, revealing a key. After some sleuthing, they discover it opens a drawer in an old desk. Inside is a transcript for a book. They find the author—or rather, the author’s son—who didn’t even know his dad had been writing it. He’s overjoyed to have it. In the meantime, they track down a few more owners, which leaves them enough time to make a ton of homemade ornaments. They end up going to a ball, slow dancing, and almost kissing. Then Finn drops a bombshell: his grandma had already paid him for his services. Audrey thought he was in it for the love of the mission, so she’s upset. But he explains that his grandma paid him because his business was struggling. Finally, there’s one more ring left to return. They trace it back to a Santa, who reveals he actually made the ring for Audrey on behalf of her grandma. Audrey gives him a drawing she made of him. And then—she and Finn kiss.

We enter All Wrapped Up, a shop that specializes in wrapping presents, with four employees: Mia, Olivia, Lilly, and, of course, Tina. Tina is put in charge of the Christmas gala, so she’s running around trying to gather everything needed for the event. She goes to a store, and a girl there starts snapping Polaroid pictures. The girl then hands the photos to her father, Michael Alonzo, for later. Despite it being the busy season at All Wrapped Up, Tina spends most of her time working on the gala. She even has a to-do list. Lucky for her, Michael Alonzo is walking right behind her—definitely not following her every move—and he asks her out. She declines, saying she’s too busy. Tina goes to check out the venue where the gala is held every year, but there’s bad news: it’s been sold. She discovers that Michael Alonzo is the one responsible for the sale. The next day, Michael visits her shop with his daughter, who snaps another photo of Tina without consent. He asks her out again, and this time, she agrees to meet up because she has something to discuss. She confronts him about the sale of the venue and the fact that it will be torn down. Michael says he’ll talk to the buyer, but only if she comes over for dinner—and it’s definitely not a date. She agrees, and when she shows up, his daughter takes yet another picture—four now, if you’re keeping track. They end up having a great time together, almost kiss, but then daddy duty calls. The next day, they do some charity work at a church, and their connection deepens. However, when Michael finds out that Tina has done some research on him, he gets angry. Tina later shows up at his house to apologize, admitting she was wrong about him. They go out to dinner and share a slow dance in the snow. Meanwhile, Tina is doing some digging and discovers an old deed. Long story short, the house never belonged to Michael Alonzo; it actually belonged to the people, which means it was never his to sell in the first place. Michael decides to open a school for his daughter in the building, and they can still hold the gala there. The event goes off as planned, and they share a kiss.

Barbara is newly retired and really into keeping the house clean. She decides to join a Christmas committee. The meeting is supposed to start at 9:00 AM, but when she arrives, no one is there. Ten minutes later, the group leader, Cath, shows up and says, “Oh yeah, it’s a flexible 9.” The rest of the committee arrives, and they’re quite the characters. Barbara is clearly annoyed by this fly-by-night committee. When the opportunity arises for her to head up the committee budget, she jumps at it, but she’s shocked to discover that Cath has just been keeping the receipts in a literal shoebox. We meet Barbara’s son, Shane. She thinks he is lonely, so she wants to find him a date for the holidays using an app called Holiday Matchmaker, which she signs him up for without his approval. Then we meet Cath’s daughter, Lauren, and wouldn’t you know it, her mom also signed her up for the same dating app. They end up getting paired together. Lauren and Shane meet for coffee, but it doesn’t start well. Shane overhears Lauren talking to a friend, complaining about going on a blind date her mother set her up for. However, they end up hitting it off while discussing their mothers. Shane tells Lauren he plans to sell his theater business, but he’s feeling super stressed. To keep their mothers off their backs, they agree to pretend to date for the holidays. Unfortunately, both moms want to meet their children’s special someone. They decide to meet at a Christmas festival, and they’re both clearly disappointed that their kids ended up together. They conclude that the only logical thing to do is sabotage the relationship. So Barbara and Cath quickly devise a plan to break them up. After learning that Shane isn’t very handy, Cath has an idea: invite him to help pick out a Christmas tree with her and Lauren, forcing Shane to figure out how to get the tree on the car himself. However, the plan backfires when Shane and Lauren end up failing together. When they finally get the tree home, they discover there’s a rat inside. Shane is terrified of the rat, but Cath asks him to get it out, which he does, impressing Lauren. Plan failed. Next, Barbara comes up with another idea: invite Lauren to one of Shane’s shows. She hopes Shane will get upset if he thinks Lauren is pushing for the relationship to work. Plus, Lauren has bad stage fright, so when Shane invites her on stage for a quirky improv Christmas Carol, Barbara is excited. To her surprise, Lauren ends up having fun and is really impressed with the show. When their plans don’t work, Barbara climbs through a window to convince the volunteer playing Santa to come out after he locks himself in a room because he’s scared. Cath and Barbara work together to encourage him to get out there. They realize they make a pretty good team and need to work together to break up these two lovebirds. They decide to start hanging out, acting like they love each other, and really push this “big happy family” narrative in hopes of freaking Shane and Lauren out. However, they notice that Shane and Lauren might actually be good for each other—Lauren encourages Shane to go all in on theater, and he helps her step out of her comfort zone. While on a trolley, singing Christmas carols, Shane and Lauren both admit they’re actually falling for each other and agree to go to the Christmas Ball together. Barbara finds out that the relationship is fake but assumes it’s one-sided to get her off Shane’s back. She tells Cath, who gets really mad and advises Lauren to break things off with Shane because he’s a bad guy. At the ball, everything comes to a head when Barbara and Cath confront Lauren and Shane about the fake relationship. Lauren freaks out and ends things with Shane due to all the drama. Barbara and Cath start arguing at the ball, and Barbara quits the committee. Barbara’s husband, who hates being around her during this turmoil, encourages her to fix things with Cath. They make up and decide to work together to get Shane and Lauren back together. Cath shows up at Lauren’s workplace to apologize for meddling, and Barbara does the same with Shane. Lauren and Shane decide to give their relationship another chance, and they kiss! The families then spend Christmas together, which seems a bit fast. They kiss some more and sing songs.

Chris shows up at his girlfriend Joanna's parents' house expecting to meet Joanna, but Joanna is running late. A couple of hours late, in fact. He's like, "I'll just wait on you." She's like, "Oh, they're definitely watching you from the window, so you're gonna have to go in." Just as Joanna is about to give him a piece of advice that starts with "Don't ask them about…," her phone dies. They invite Chris in to help decorate for their Christmas party. It's stepmom Nell and Dad Dave. Dave makes fun jokes like, "We might poison you with nuts." They sit down to get to know each other a little bit, and Chris asks a question: "How did you two meet?" They light up. It was 10 years ago to the date. He gets on this train full of people in ugly Christmas sweaters. Apparently, it's the inaugural ugly Christmas sweater convention. He finds the one person not wearing a Christmas sweater and sits across from her. It's Nell. He says chit-chat is hard, and she doesn't immediately tell him to get lost. She's a keeper. They begin to hit it off. The train stops due to ice, and he sees a sign for Fredo's Fruitcake, which she also happens to love. Two people who love fruitcake on the same train! He's like, "You know what, I’m gonna go get some." As he's in the store, the train begins to move. It leaves him behind! To make matters worse, they both remember each other's names incorrectly, with no way to contact each other! Dave is talking to his daughter and says, "I just hope that fate brings us back together." But he's a busy bee. Dave is a woodworker who is planning the town’s Christmas festival. He gets a letter from the city and has to call a woman named Eleanor. Who could that be?! Turns out she's against the festival because it isn’t good budget-wise, so the phone conversation does not go well. The next day, Dave and his daughter are walking around town, and she goes to pick up some coffee. Suddenly, Dave and Nell bump into one another! They realize that they both had the names wrong, and they're flirting hard! But then Dave gets an SOS text from his daughter. He calls, but there's no answer. So he's like, "I gotta go make sure she's okay, don't move!" Before he gets back, Nell has to move her car to avoid getting a parking ticket. Womp womp. Joanna can't believe that he didn't get her number again! So, she posts a "Missed Connection" on his behalf. Believe it or not, they bump into each other again! This time, they exchange numbers immediately! Well, they try. He doesn't have his phone, so he tries committing it to memory but can't because people on the street are just yelling out numbers. And she puts his number in her phone but ends up dropping it before she can save it! Wouldn't you know it, she ends up finding "his" missed connection. So she messages him, and Joanna gets it and asks her out on a date on behalf of Dave. So she comes over for his Christmas party, and they are having a great time. They're slow dancing when suddenly it all clicks for Nell—Dave is the David she's been arguing with about the Christmas festival. So she leaves and ghosts him! Dave and Joanna are so confused, but it all becomes clear to Joanna when she joins Dave for a meeting about the festival and sees Nell. So she convinces him to leave. She decides to try to make this work by getting Nell to meet with her and tell her that she knows who she is, but her dad still doesn't. So Joanna comes up with a plan to help Nell tell David the truth. She shows up at his farm with a fruitcake, and he gives her a tour of the festival. She begins to realize how much work he's been putting into this festival and that maybe it's not an entire waste of resources. She finally comes clean about who she is, but before she can, he tells her that he really likes her. The moment is so romantic, and she can't find it in herself to tell him the whole truth. Oh hey, back in the present, Joanna finally shows up after a bunch of travel hurdles. They don't quite get off to a strong start. He tells her that he loves her, and she creams him with icing and runs off. He decides he should just leave. Back in the past, Nell is about to tell Dave the truth, but he ends up bashing "Eleanor" before she can. Then the fire marshal shows up and shuts the festival down. She feels so bad, so she finally goes to tell him the truth. She starts by saying how much she likes him and how great he makes her feel. Just as she's about to say who she is, the fire marshal comes back in and is like, "GREAT NEWS, you pass!" and hands Eleanor the report, and it all becomes clear to David. Dave is really mad. She says she was scared to tell him the truth because what if David and Eleanor can't be together? "I just want to be Dave and Nell." He's like, "Well, maybe we aren't meant to be," and leaves. Back in present day, Joanna texts Chris, "I love you," and her parents encourage her to go get him. No regrets. Back to the story that matters, Eleanor goes to find David and tell him that she was wrong and that she wants him to be a part of the magic he's created. He tells her that he is sorry for what he said; he doesn't find her unlikable at all. She says, "You're my fate." He says, "We belong." And they kiss in front of Santa in an early running for kiss of the season. Back to present day, Chris runs to make it back to the festival, and Joanna is so happy to see him come back. They both say they love each other and THEY KISS. Chris' parents come to spend Christmas as one big happy family, and they immediately ask Nell and Dave, "How'd you two meet?"

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH HomeAloneTour.com Nutrafol.com - promo code 'DECK' for $10 off your first month subscription + free shipping! The movie kicks off with some singing—more singing in the first minute than in the entire runtime of a movie ABOUT MUSICAL THEATER! Everyone loves it. Violette's dad comes up to her afterward with an envelope full of cash from the townsfolk. They're pumped that one of their own is going to Broadway! Cut to New York, and we get MORE singing! We're at this bar, and a dude is up there just straight vibing. It's Alex, and he's actually a waiter who has to get back to work! Alex's cousin, Brad, shows up, and Alex's boss, Hazel, is not happy to see him. She says whatever you do, do not give him money until he pays his tab. Alex is busy, busy, busy, but he really wants to be a playwright. Violette gets to New York and is shocked to find out that the tour has been canceled. Investors pulled out. She's crushed. Lucky for her, her aunt's best friend is...HAZEL! So she shows up at the bar right in the middle of Hazel's big number. Hazel is shocked to see her—it’s been a long time. Hazel says you have two choices: go back home and sell insurance or thicken your skin and figure it out. Violette is like, "Well, how about I work for you?" Hazel is like, "I don't think you can handle it, but I'll give you a shot." She also introduces her to Rae, who just lost her roommate. The next day, Hazel introduces Violette to the rest of the crew, and Alex is less than thrilled to have her, especially since she's getting to sing so quickly. She gets up there and sings "O Holy Night"—the flute player shows off—and the crowd goes nuts. As she’s singing, Brad walks in and is just jaw-dropped. Hazel comes up on stage and announces that Violette is going to be closing the Christmas Eve show with Alex, so get your tickets now! Brad talks to Alex and says he has to introduce him to this girl. If things work out with her, maybe he’ll even move out of your apartment! So Alex is in. In a shocking development, Violette is actually interested in ALEX! Violette has also been lying to her dad about the show because she doesn't want to disappoint him. Violette and Alex meet up to work on the Christmas Eve number. They argue about which song to sing and somehow land on "Santa Baby." Brad is out on the town and sees his ex, lying and telling her that he's dating someone named Violette. He gets back to his apartment, and Violette is there with Alex, and they have just the weirdest first impression. That weird first impression leads to an even weirder first phone call. But on that phone call, Brad gets Alex to set up a double date with him and his fake girlfriend, their neighbor June. So they all meet up at the Festival of Christmas Trees, and Violette asks Brad what his favorite musical is. So, obviously, he runs over and asks Alex for advice on what he should say. Basically, all of Brad's best stuff is actually just Alex's. The next day, Violette and Alex have to go deliver baskets to a senior center, and they sing some songs. That's when they stumble into their Christmas Eve duet—"The Christmas Song." They crush it. Back at the apartment, Brad is fishing for advice on what he should do with Violette on Christmas Eve. He recommends taking her to "The Nutcracker," since she said she sees it at her dad's every year. After a failed audition, Alex and Violette walk around the city and talk about life, giving each other some advice. Clearly falling for her, Alex makes Violette a yule log because she made one every year back home. She shows up, and Brad takes all the credit for it. She even thanks him with a kiss! Alex walks in while they’re kissing. Whomp, whomp. But she is deeply bothered by Brad falling asleep during "The Nutcracker." At work, Alex shows Violette a little of the show he's writing, and she inspires him to finish it! Brad comes up with the idea that they should go caroling, which really moves Violette, and she kisses him again. But when she sees Alex sing "Silent Night," she's clearly moved. And who wouldn't be? After receiving flowers from Brad, she tells Alex that while Brad is a great guy, she doesn't think he's her great guy. Alex's eyes light up like a Christmas tree. She calls and breaks things off. It's Christmas Eve, and they're about to perform. Violette is shocked to see that her dad is here. She goes outside to catch her breath. As she's doing that, she overhears an argument between Brad and Alex and finds out that Alex was feeding Brad all the information. She tells them both off, but uh oh, it’s time to perform. She gets on stage and can’t do it. She runs off. Alex goes to talk to her, but she doesn't want to talk to him. She just wants her dad! Her dad gives a great pep talk like all good TV dads do. It's Christmas morning. Brad gives Alex the best Christmas gift—the gift of going away forever. Violette has a note slid under her door to meet at the bar at 5 PM. She shows up, and Hazel set up a do-over...in front of a Broadway producer...on Christmas Day!!! So she and Alex make up, and they decide to sing the original song from Alex's musical, and it’s a musical bop that I still can't get out of my mind...WHO KNEW, WHO KNEW IT'D BE YOU, WHO KNEW IT'D BE YOU THIS CHRISTMASSSSS. The producer loves it. And Alex and Violette kiss as the drummer looks down at his drum set because he thinks kisses are icky. The movie ends with a bunch of headlines about their Broadway smash hit.

The movie kicks off at the initial wedding, where Jackson is dancing with his daughter, Betty, and Betty drops a bomb—she's moving to Italy with her mom. Jackson is pretty miserable. He runs a firm that represents social media influencers, like a guy who just eats soup. One day, he gets a call from his ex asking if Betty can come and stay with him for a while, and he's like, “I got a better idea—I’ll come to you!” He goes to Italy and gets a red convertible, 'cause why not? He almost hits a woman named Gabriella. I'm sure he'll never see her again, though. Except he does, 'cause of course she runs a café that doesn't serve cappuccinos in the afternoon. They continue to bump into each other, and friction turns into sexual tension. He even builds her a new website. But Jackson is like, “Nothing is going to happen between us.” He is a bit hesitant to love since he's been there, done that, and got divorced. The boys come to visit, and they go to a masked dance.

He talks to her about it, and she's like, “Sorry, I didn't know it was you.” The next day, he's walking with Betty, and Betty tells him that he's not dating for any other reason than being scared, and it's not fair to either of them.

Charlotte is a chocolatier who recently moved to Vienna with wild ideas, like putting potato chips into chocolate. She's at a fundraising event surrounded by many Christmas trees. Also at this event is Henry, who doesn't know much, but he knows you don't put potato chips in chocolate. Charlotte is trying hard to win Vienna's Chocolateer of the Year. If she wins, she thinks it will be a lot harder to lose her shop to a developer who's trying to buy it. And who is that developer? Henry. Everything is looking good for the €300 million development, except for Charlotte's shop—she is fighting it tooth and nail. Henry doesn't know about that, though, because he doesn't want to know the details. He just wants to be on holiday! He leaves a meeting to walk through the market and bumps into Charlotte again. They end up walking around the city together, having a great time. They eventually return to her chocolate shop, and she gives him some chocolate to remember her by. On his way out, he hands her his card. The next day, they bump into each other again, and he asks her if she wants to get dinner. She says she always has time for food. They go out and talk about their dreams and whatnot, which gets Henry thinking: is he actually doing what he loves? He knows that Charlotte is. He finds out that Charlotte is fighting off a developer, and he thinks, "Let me see what I can do to help you." He asks his associate to look into Charlotte's business to see what they can do to help her fight off the developer as a historical landmark. What Henry doesn't know is that the associate is the one trying to fight her on the historical landmark. So instead of helping her, she serves Charlotte with paperwork claiming eminent domain. Charlotte is like, "Over my dead body!" She is ready for war! And she's going to ask Henry to fight with her! She shows him the paperwork, and it all clicks in—he's the bad guy in this story. He could come clean to her, but he doesn't want to. Instead, they go ice skating and decorate a Christmas tree. He calls his dad to get his advice, and his dad says he should just pay them off and get it over with. They do offer her more money, but she's not having it. She decides to look into this company to see what she can use to fight against them, and it's at this point that she discovers Henry is associated with them. So she barges in and tells him to shove off! Henry feels all mopey. She's looking at pictures and comes across a photo of her grandma with her best friend, who still lives in Vienna. So she goes to visit them, and luckily, she has a picture of them in front of the building before the special date that makes it historic, so she has proof. Henry's dad shows up and tells him he's sorry for being a sucky dad and that he wants to help him figure out a way to make things work with Charlotte. So he puts together some cool blueprints that will allow her to keep her shop while also letting them do their development. She's like, "I need some time to think about it. Might as well waltz." She eventually tells him that she's in, and they kiss. Then they talk about it, and she says she's in again, and they kiss again. And then there are fireworks!

The movie kicks off with a mysterious situation. A blonde woman delivers a box containing Santa and a microchip. They flee together, and we discover that this is actually a TV show that a woman named Whitney watches intently while eating cereal in her PJs—just like me on Saturday mornings. Her coworker, Rachel, tries to set Whitney up on a date because she thinks Whitney watches too much TV—a bold statement, especially in a movie on a network that starts playing 24/7 Christmas movies two weeks before Halloween. We then meet real-life Secret Agent Josh Dawson, who works for a detective agency and has been undercover for six months with no results. His boss tells him they’re shutting down the operation, but Josh explains that he wants to stop a heist involving a necklace called the Heart of Christmas, worth over $10 million, set to be displayed at a Christmas ball on Christmas Eve. His boss agrees to give him one more chance, but only if he has a partner. So, Agent Keira Tanner is assigned to go undercover as Dawson’s girlfriend. Dawson, wearing a green sweater, agrees to meet with Keira to discuss the case. However, Whitney, who is supposed to be on a blind date with someone in a green sweater, sits down with him first. He jumps right into discussing the case, and Whitney is bewildered. He quickly realizes she’s not who he was supposed to meet, but it’s too late—they’re expected to have dinner with “the mark.” So, he asks Whitney to just play along. Whitney reluctantly agrees but immediately fumbles by telling the couple that she’s a ballroom dancer between jobs. The woman, Patty, then asks Whitney to help plan a ball! The next day, Agent Dawson brings Whitney to his boss, intending to figure out how to remove her from the situation. But the boss sees an opportunity: Whitney has secured regular access to their targets, so she can’t drop out now. However, she’ll need some training. Cue a training montage where Whitney initially struggles but eventually masters everything, from backstory to subtle texting. She’s ready to go! At Patty and Maxwell’s, Patty gives Whitney the lowdown on the necklace while Dawson snoops around. He’s caught by Maxwell, but Maxwell brushes it off and offers him a bottle of wine. Finding no clues, they visit a museum to devise a plan for catching the thieves during the party. The museum guide mentions he once got tricked by a fake painting, giving Whitney an idea: a fake necklace! They find a woman who makes jewelry and can whip up a replica in just a few hours. They stay to watch her work, and Dawson is impressed by the result. In the short time before the party, Whitney decorates Dawson’s apartment for Christmas because, well, you have to. The necklace arrives and is kept in a secure area. Dawson lowers Whitney down to swap the real necklace with the fake one, but the mission fails. Now, they’ll have to try during the actual party. Before the party, Whitney has a game night with her family, and Dawson agrees to join. The game is Christmas charades. Nervous about meeting a girlfriend’s family for the first time, Dawson ends up having fun and winning over the family, who are a bit suspicious of these two lovebirds. It’s party time! When they see each other dressed up, sparks fly. At the party, they’re about to swap the necklaces when Patty suddenly introduces them for a surprise tango. Fortunately, they nail it. Then Whitney’s dad unexpectedly shows up. While they’re talking, the power goes out, and the necklace goes missing. They spot a man with a briefcase and chase him to the roof. Opening the case, they find it’s a decoy. Looking down, they see the museum director escaping with the jewels—and Whitney’s parents have been taken hostage! They rappel down and catch up with the van, only to find that her parents have the situation under control. It turns out her parents used to be in the FBI. They explain that they were suspicious after Whitney rescheduled game night, so they showed up at the party and quickly figured things out. They even secured the real necklace. The movie could end here, but it doesn’t. Whitney feels betrayed by her parents and storms off, upset that they ruined her exciting night. Josh follows her and tries to calm her down, telling her her parents are amazing. She retorts, “What do you know about family?”—a stinger, given that Josh grew up in the foster system. As Whitney mopes, she realizes the painting the museum guide mentioned earlier has been stolen. She suspects Patty and goes to confront her, only to end up in danger. Just as the bad guys are about to capture her, the FBI storms in and saves the day. It’s Christmas Day, and Whitney’s parents arrive with gifts and apologies. She forgives them. Josh shows up, and Whitney gives him a Christmas present—a snow globe. He gives her a replica of the Christmas necklace. Whitney invites Josh to spend Christmas with her family, and they kissssssss as the fake snow snows. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

The movie kicks off at a Christmas party—if you can believe it. It’s year one, and Alice walks into a room full of theater kids. It’s the wrap party for a fresh version of A Christmas Carol that Alice created. Alice is a senior in college and is happy to be finishing with a success. She’s surprised to see Max there. She goes up to the rooftop as it’s snowing, as one does, and Max shows up. He tells her how amazing the show was. He tries to explain where he’s been, but she says, “Don’t worry about it.” Just as they’re about to leave, she asks why he decided to talk to her after ignoring her for the last three years. He replies, “I really liked your show and thought you should know.” They’re about to kiss, but she’s like, “Nooo, this isn’t happening.” They awkwardly part ways. The next day, she’s talking to her mom and is shocked to find out that the bookstore closed. She needs a job, so she takes a volunteer (unpaid) position at the theater. To help make ends meet, she picks up a side gig at a catering company. And guess who else works there? Yep, it’s Max. After a party, he helps her take the Christmas tree to her place. She asks if they could recreate the rooftop situation to see what happened; they do, and they kiss. But then she’s like, “Okay, so now we know we’re good at that, but I can’t afford any distractions!” We get a montage of the year. Before we know it, it’s year two. Alice walks into the catering gig, and guess who’s back—it’s Max! While they’re out looking for a tree for a party, he explains that he never meant to ignore her; he was just intimidated by how smart she is. At the party, naturally, it leads to a performance. A bad one, but a performance nonetheless. Alice is shocked when Lisa from the theater shows up. She confides in Max that maybe she lied about “crushing it” at the theater—it was a complete failure. She says, “Volunteering was a lot harder than I expected. It took so much more of my time, and eventually, I just had to work more and stopped showing up.” Max admits he hasn’t booked anything either and is mostly just bartending. When he finds out she’s spending Christmas alone this year, he’s shocked. On their way out, Lisa thanks them for charming her family into joining the board and tells Alice she’s welcome back at the theater anytime. We get another montage of the year: Max texting Alice and her not texting back. Now it’s year three, and we see that Max finally booked a gig—as an elf in a print ad. She sees him and is like, “Oh, sorry for ghosting you,” and he’s like, “It’s really no big deal. We’re friends. Just friends. It’s good.” It’s time to cater together again. Alice’s friend invites her to move to New York, but Alice is like, “Oh no, I couldn’t; I have so much going on here.” Max and Alice have a moment looking at the Christmas tree. They almost hold hands but don’t quite make it. He tells her he has to go back to LA tomorrow for a callback for a big movie! Alice goes to meet with Lisa, who offers her a real job as an assistant director…paid! She immediately says yes and heads back to the Christmas party with her friends, excited. When she realizes which movie Max is up for, she shares her good news, and they celebrate as friends do—with a big kiss. Afterwards, they talk about whether the kiss changes anything. Max says he’d like to give this a shot, but Alice says, “I’d just be a distraction when you’re about to have your big break. Let’s just keep being smart.” Max is sad. Alice is sad. But what can you do? We get another year montage, showing Alice never getting to talk to Max because he’s so busy. It’s now year four, and Alice finds out one of the parties they’re catering is a celebration for Max’s movie, thrown by his parents. At the party, Max tries to apologize for Alice ghosting him, but he’s like, “It’s fine.” Clearly not wanting to have this conversation, she tries to go inside and accidentally spills wine all over Daphne Day, his co-star and a superstar. Alice has an idea—they put Daphne to work with an apron, and it ends up being a smash hit with the press. Alice sees Max and Daphne looking at the pictures together—very closely, I might add—and feels a bit jealous. After the party, Max tells Alice he’s not dating Daphne. In fact, they barely like each other and are just doing it for the press. Alice loves it. She invites Max to come over for Christmas dinner. They spend the night watching Christmas movies, wake up, and spend the day laughing and having fun. He asks her to come with him to LA for the premiere—and also just for life. He says he’s fallen so in love with her. She says she needs to think about it and leaves, but later she says yes! Just as she’s about to leave, she gets a call from Lisa. Lisa wants her to basically run the theater. Alice suggests they try long-distance, but Max says, “If we wanted to try that, we would have by now. We can’t keep doing this year after year. We can’t keep waiting.” We get another montage of the year, showing Alice working hard at the theater and loving life. It’s Christmas again, and naturally, Max shows up to watch the show…and to cater. Alice sees him at a Christmas party, and he’s acting all weird. She tells him she loves him, and he tells her to break a leg. The show is a hit, but afterward, she’s not happy, and it’s freaking her out. This is all she’s ever wanted. She talks to her mom, who tells her to follow her heart. Alice is told to take some sliders out to the alley, where Max is waiting. They both share that success would be better if they could share it together…just like Christmas. They kiss and decide to make it work!

The movie kicks off with a montage of a couple taking Christmas card pictures together over the years. It’s the McCaul family, and they are loving each other until 2023, when Kevin shows up late, and it’s clear his wife Lauren is very annoyed. Cut to the present day, and Kevin and Lauren are separated. You hate to see it; you also hate to see sober Kevin get fired from his bar job. That’s right…bar job. Apparently his sobriety was a liability. After that, they all meet up at Kevin’s family’s house. Kevin and Lauren talk about working together to make sure that their son Charlie still has a great Christmas. When Lauren asks Kevin how work is going, he says, “Good!” but doesn’t tell her he was fired. That secret doesn’t last long, though, as his mom spills the beans. Lauren is upset and goes to leave. Kevin tries to stop her, and it becomes clear that part of their problems stem from the financial hardship of buying their dream home, which ended up being a money pit. Lauren is eating cookies in bed (which spoke to me), when she gets a call from her mom, who tells her she’s coming to visit for Christmas. Uh oh – she doesn’t know about the separation. So Lauren goes to ask Kevin if he’d be willing to help keep it a secret from her mom, and he agrees to a fake Christmas in exchange for them going back to couples therapy and going on their annual Christmas date together. Kevin shows up, says hi to Lauren’s mom, and uses the opportunity to kiss Lauren. They go to therapy, where Lauren shares how her mother’s judgment affected her growing up as “Little Miss Mess” because she never finished what she started. This is why she doesn’t want her mom to know about the separation or that the dream house isn’t working out. Lauren’s mom, Janet, was only supposed to be there for one day because she had a Christmas cruise planned – but it turns out the cruise was fake! They decide to keep going with the lie, but it doesn’t last long. At the ice skating rink, Kevin is late and is acting sketchy. Overwhelmed with emotion, Lauren ends up telling Janet the truth. They all go to a community center gingerbread house competition – montage time! At the contest, Kevin finds out that Lauren is in the process of getting the house ready to sell. But when Kevin meets Jason, the real estate agent Lauren is considering, he gets a little jealous and jumps headfirst into helping with the house that that Lauren doesn’t have alone time with Jason. Later, Kevin’s dad has to go to the hospital, and Kevin uses the moment to get serious, promising his dad that he’ll help out more because he wants to be “Helper of the Week.” Kevin gets a job at a counselor’s office. His goal is to become a counselor because, again, he wants that “Helper of the Week” status, but for now, he’ll just be working in the office. Kevin forgets about their Christmas date, so he quickly sets up a projector in the “dream home” and decorates it for Christmas. He plays Lauren’s favorite movie, they laugh, eat Chinese food, and slow dance to some Frank Sinatra. It’s the kind of moment that brings two people together – until Lauren’s mother’s angel ornament breaks. Lauren is devastated because she feels she’ll always be seen as a “Little Miss Messy” daughter, but she comes clean to her mom. Just then, the handsome real estate agent shows up to tell Lauren about an offer on the house and asks her out for dinner. Kevin assumes it’s a date and tells Janet how being called “Little Miss Mess” affected Lauren. Janet apologizes to Lauren for the “Little Miss Mess” nickname, explaining she only called her that because her room was always a mess. She then shows her that she fixed the angel ornament. Lauren remarks that it’s even better than before. Janet says, “Instead of hiding imperfections, you use them to add to the beauty.” Lauren rushes to find Kevin at the church, but he’s just left to do some deliveries. So, she teams up with his family, and after church, they drop him off at the dream house, where she tells him she no longer wants to just “fix things” but to work on growing together. They share a big kiss. Cut to Christmas morning, and they’re all together, happy and content. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?
