Do You Watch What I Watch? | Hallmark Movie Reviews

This week’s 12 Pods of Christmas pick comes with a heartfelt story and a house that needs a lot of work.

Friends of the pod, Leslie Ann and Mary, join Jennifer and Josh to recap and review Holly & Ivy. We give Nina, Melody, and the girls the care their story deserves, find some room to laugh along the way, and deliver our Gold or Coal verdict.

Bring tissues. Maybe a contractor, too. LOL

We're gearing up for this year's 'Countdown To Christmas' and can't wait to have you join The Watch Party alongside us! Which movie are you most excited to see?? Drop us a comment, and subscribe for new recaps and reviews -- and a lot of fun all season long -- right here and wherever you listen to podcasts!

It’s a full house at Do You Watch What I Watch? !

Cousin Chad of the Christmas Cousins podcast joins Jennifer and Josh to revisit Hallmark’s The Christmas House. The Mitchell family is rebuilding an enormous holiday tradition while sorting through romance, parenthood, and a few decisions hiding beneath all that garland.

We catch up, recap, riff, and laugh a lot as we decide whether this one earns Gold or Coal. What’s your verdict?

We famously have a complicated relationship with Hallmark’s royal movies. But A Royal Christmas may be the movie that finally wins us over.

Emily is a Philadelphia seamstress happily dating Leo, until he reveals that “Leo” is actually Prince Leopold, heir to the throne of Cordinia. One transatlantic trip later, Emily is navigating palace protocol, a frosty future mother-in-law, and an ex-girlfriend who arrives just in time to create some royal trouble.

Lacey Chabert brings the charm, Jane Seymour understands the assignment, and Jennifer makes a major declaration: This might be her favorite royal Hallmark movie.

We’re recapping the secret prince, the royal makeover, the scheming queen and everything else that makes this 2014 favorite work so well. Then we’ll deliver our official Gold or Coal verdict.

THE LIST IS HERE. 🎄

Hallmark has officially unveiled its 2026 Countdown to Christmas lineup — and Jennifer and Josh are jumping on the microphones for an emergency Christmas movie meeting.

We’re reading through the new movie synopses and giving you our immediate, completely unscientific reactions: what sounds amazing, what sounds bonkers, which stars we're excited to see and which movies already have our attention.

Thirty-four new Christmas movies. Two opinionated podcast hosts. Zero time to prepare.

This should go well.

We’re going back into the Hallmark vault as our '12 Pods of Christmas' summer series rolls on and this time, we brought our friend @positivelybrad along for the ride!

Mira Sorvino stars as a stressed-out TV personality who heads for the mountains, crashes her car in a blizzard, loses her memory and is rescued by Cameron Mathison, a widowed veterinarian with three kids.

You know. Normal Christmas stuff.

We’re recapping A Christmas to Remember, talking through all the wonderfully Hallmark-y amnesia logic, the surprisingly sweet family story, and why this 2016 movie worked for us.

Then it’s time for the only verdict that matters: GOLD or COAL?

Have you seen this one? Drop a comment and let us know your thoughts!

🍂 Fall festival? Check.
🎓 High school reunion? Check.
📝 An unfinished bucket list with your childhood best friend? Oh, Hallmark. You know exactly what you're doing.

Jennifer is back with a Quick Watch of Hallmark's brand-new Falling Into Place, starring Alvina August and Nathan Witte.

Does this childhood-friends-to-maybe-something-more romance have us ready to soak up every last bit of fall? Or are we already mentally hanging the Christmas lights?

Jennifer's got the recap, the review and, of course, the verdict: GOLD or COAL? 🥇🪨

Santa Claus is retiring. His son Nick is taking over. There’s just one tiny problem:

He needs a Mrs. Claus.

Oh, and Nick is played by Steve Guttenberg.

Buckle up.

Our 12 Pods of Christmas series continues as Joe from Christmas Aficionado joins Jennifer and Josh for Single Santa Seeks Mrs. Claus, quite possibly one of the most bonkers Christmas movies we’ve ever recapped.

We’re talking Santa succession plans, North Pole matchmaking, Christmas commercials, inexplicable magic, a surprisingly complicated search for Mrs. Claus and SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.

The movie gives us plenty to work with, and the conversation goes wonderfully off the rails.

So, is this ridiculous Christmas concoction worthy of Gold… or are we stuffing some Coal in Steve Guttenberg’s stocking?

Who knew a scene with crayons would be so steamy??

In this Quick Watch, Jennifer is back to recap and review Hallmark's new fall movie, 'Much About Love'. This one has it all: Shakespeare, a small town, fall foliage, a mother/daughter dynamic, and two dynamite leads in Ashley Williams and Niall Matter.

But does it all come together in the end? Is it worth the watch?

Jennifer weighs in with her 'Gold or Coal' verdict, but we want to hear from you! Let us know in the comments what you think!

Special delivery! 📦❤️

Jennifer is back with another QUICK WATCH, this time recapping and reviewing Hallmark’s Love Finds You, starring Aimeé Teegarden and Chris McNally.

When jewelry designer Alex receives a package meant for someone else, the contents seem to point directly toward the man of her dreams. So she teams up with delivery driver Jack to track down the mystery guy, while somehow overlooking the extremely Hallmark-leading-man-shaped delivery driver standing right beside her.

Jennifer breaks down the story, the chemistry, and what made this easy-breezy romance work before answering the question that matters most around here: Is Love Finds You GOLD or COAL?
