It's Thanksgiving week and The Hallmark Channel has blessed the world with five nights of movie premieres! In this episode, two of these new holiday classics square off: Christmas in Homestead and Christmas List. Mel and Dory also discuss the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, holiday travel drama, real life Christmas towns and late night trips to Walmart.

The Hallmark Christmas Bracket heats up, pitting "My Christmas Dream" head to head against "A December Bride." Special guest Meghan teams up with Mel & Dory as the girls hash out the feels, admire Danica McKellar's math skills, and recall some epic weddings of yore.

It's round two in Mel & Dory's Countdown to Christmas bracket challenge - as two more Hallmark offerings are pitted against each other in a March Madness-style fight for the Yuletide crown. This week, two Christmas towns turn on the charm to save the soul of a Grinch. Which will succeed?! (Spoiler...both. The answer is both.)

With the season's first victory on the line, our opening Hallmark bracket competitors face off - Jamie King versus a secret baby, oh my! Mel and Dory also call upon the magic of Christmas to ward off their post-election blues.

In the inaugural Hallmark movie fancast, Dory and Mel take on the first of the holiday season offerings - Lacey Chabert's "A Wish for Christmas". Did this year's Countdown kickoff with a bang, or a whimper? Will Lacey maintain her MVP status? We'll be the judge...and jury...and, santa-cutioner? Yikes.

We also unleash the full fury of our hallmark movie fandom, so grab your most beloved scented candle and take cover!
