April 08, 2025 Christmas Summit Wrap Up: The Hallmark Top 100 Showdown

It’s the post-Summit wrap-up you didn’t know you needed but absolutely deserve. Cousin Chad recently joined the legendary Christmas Aficionado’s Christmas Summit on YouTube—a roundtable of elite holiday minds including Kacy from The Heart of Hallmarks Review Show, Daniela from Hit or Miss Hallmark and Dan from Deck the Hallmark.

Their task? Pick the most underrated Hallmark movies worthy of Top 100 status.

This episode had it all. A lively chat group, a mix of literary gravitas, mythological metaphors, and passionate picks. But there was too much cheer, chaos, and comedy for just one appearance. So we’re bringing it home.

This week on the pod, we’re joined by the Christmas Aficionado himself, Joe, plus the King of All Superfans, Cousin Lee, and of course Cousin Seth—who gets a surprise movie assignment live on air from the Summit list!

We’ll break down the highlights, relive the wildest moments, and dive deeper into the conversation. Who made the best arguments? Did Chad really compare Hallmark hunks to Homeric heroes? Will Cousin Seth survive his next movie journey? And most importantly—can we keep the Christmas vibes going strong through spring?

You decide, Cousins.

We want to hear from YOU, our fellow Christmas Cousins!
