12: Last Vermont Christmas – November 19
Where: Hallmark Movies and Mysteries
Erin Cahill returns as Hallmark leading lady, and Justin Bruening makes his Hallmark debut. The story, about three sisters who reunite at their family home each Christmas, sounds fun and cute. Of course, there’s also an ex-sweetheart who plans to buy their family home!
13: Hope at Christmas – November 20
Where: Hallmark Movies and Mysteries
Hallmark’s “Mr. Darcy” Ryan Paevey (Unleashing Mr. Darcy) headlines this drama. The story follows a recently divorced mother who “soon finds herself hopelessly smitten by the very definition of ‘a good man.'” Sounds like my ideal romantic drama.

I am so excited about the reunion of the Christmas With Holly stars!! And I always love seeing Brooke d’Orsay on screen. I’m even more happy seeing her paired with Daniel Lissing. I’m already clearing out my DVR recordings to make room for all these Christmas movie.s
ME TOO!! I’ve always loved that movie, Brittaney, so to see them together again (and in a story that will honor the military) is like a Hallmark movie dream. 🙂
Same: Brooke is adorable no matter what she’s in (I just re-watched “How to Fall In Love”) and I’ve liked Daniel in what I’ve seen him in too.
YAY for DVR space. I’m pretty low, so I’d best do the same. 😀
Definitely at the top of my list is A Veteran’s Christmas & Hope at Christmas, for both the actors and their amazing story-lines. However, I’m also getting exciting vibes from Christmas Joy, It’s Christmas, Eve, A Shoe Addicts Christmas, and A Godwink Christmas. Point of fact though is that I’m level 10/10 excited for every film except one that’s a part of the Miracles of Christmas line-up! They are firing on all cylinders this year!
I’m SO excited about ‘Veteran’s’ and if I remember right (I’ve read about WAY too many Hallmark originals in the past week), I did think “Hope at Christmas” sounds really good as well.
Hope you enjoy each one your excited about, Kristy; like you, I too am ready for these movies even though I feel like it’s a tiny bit “too early.” 😀
