Forever Hallmark Christmas Podcast

A Kiss Before Christmas


Listen Later

Hallmark’s A Kiss Before Christmas (2021) breaks just about every cozy rom-com rule. A meet-cute that takes nearly an hour to fully reveal itself. A misunderstanding resolved immediately. A real antagonist working against our leads—so refreshing! And two card-carrying AARP members with off-the-charts chemistry. 

With a gentle nod to It’s a Wonderful Life, James Denton and Teri Hatcher prove that TV flames from 2004 can still create magic at Christmastime. Add Marilu Henner into the mix and you have a top-notch cast that pulls out every emotion over 86 minutes. 

But here’s the twist: one of Hallmark’s best scripts in years took five years to make it to the screen. Thanks to insights shared with us by writer Mark Amato, we unpack the long road this movie took to reach Hallmark… along with the small but important assist from Mr. Denton that helped get it across the finish line.

Is this one of the best Hallmark Christmas movies ever made? Rich and Rene make a strong case.

We keep it fun, keep it real… and keep it Hallmark Christmas.
