We were ready to clown on this one. We did not clown on this one.

Pumpkin Regatta Romance premiered on Hallmark Channel on September 26, 2026, and it turns out a movie about people paddling hollowed-out foam pumpkins across a lake is genuinely charming. Mishael Morgan stars as Nadine, a marina owner trying to bring back her town's beloved pumpkin regatta after a decade-old feud between her father and the local pumpkin farmer shut it down. Corey Sevier plays Ethan, the pumpkin farmer's son and the one who got away.

Mishael Morgan and Corey Sevier join Megan to talk about Hallmark Channel's Pumpkin Regatta Romance, premiering Saturday, September 26 at 8/7c. The two leads explain what it's really like to paddle a hollowed-out giant pumpkin (spoiler: Mishael spent a while going in circles), how the production team kept them from capsizing, and why so many of their unscripted moments made the final cut. Corey talks about stepping back to act in a script written by his wife, Kate Pragnell, instead of directing it himself. Mishael compares the pace of a Hallmark set to her years on The Young and the Restless, and shares the unexpectedly moving reason her scenes with Eugene Clark felt so natural. Plus: are cake pops actually good, or just cute? We got an answer, and it took 18 takes to get there.

We're revisiting this one as a Fall Favorite encore episode. Heads up, it was recorded very early in our podcasting days, so the format is a little different from what you're used to. Roadhouse Romance is a 2021 Hallmark fall movie starring Lauren Alaina and Tyler Hynes. After returning home from military service, Callie finds plenty has changed in her Tennessee hometown — including her family’s struggling BBQ restaurant. When a chance encounter brings Hollywood director Luke, played by Tyler Hynes, into her life, the two team up as Callie searches for her late grandfather’s secret BBQ recipe and tries to save the family restaurant. With a fall festival, small-town setting, country music, and plenty of romance, Roadhouse Romance is a cozy pick for your Hallmark fall movie watchlist.

Jason Shannon is back, y'all. After seven years away, Steve Bacic returns opposite Lori Loughlin in Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder Takes the Stage, premiering Saturday, September 19, 2026 on Hallmark Mystery. We got a few minutes with Steve ahead of the premiere, and he was so generous with them. We talked about what it felt like to walk back onto that set after everyone had scattered, and about the one thing he'd really love to do in a future installment. (It involves a dance-off. We are fully on board.)

If you’re craving a classic fall Hallmark movie filled with pumpkin pie, small-town rivalries, and a little enemies-to-lovers romance, Pumpkin Pie Wars checks all the boxes. The 2016 Hallmark Channel movie stars Julie Gonzalo and Eric Aragon as Casey and Sam, the children of two feuding bakery owners who find themselves competing in the very same pumpkin pie contest that started their mothers’ rivalry years ago. Megan and Wendy review Pumpkin Pie Wars and discuss whether this autumn favorite deserves a spot on your cozy fall Hallmark movie watchlist.

Hallmark Channel is checking off just about every fall movie trope imaginable with Falling into Place, the newest movie in the 2026 Fall Into Love lineup. Kaia heads back home for a fall festival and her high school reunion, where she reconnects with childhood best friend James and the two decide it’s finally time to finish the fall bucket list they started years ago. Because apparently no unfinished business is more urgent than whatever autumnal activities have been sitting unchecked on that list. Apple picking? Hayrides? A suspiciously romantic pile of leaves? We have some guesses. Falling Into Place stars Alvina August and Nathan Witte, and Megan and Wendy are ready to find out whether Hallmark Channel can turn this trope-on-trope setup into the cozy fall movie we’ve been waiting for.

Megan sits down with Alvina August and Nathan Witte ahead of Falling Into Place, premiering Saturday, September 12 at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel. In this quick chat, they share how they built best friend chemistry before the cameras rolled, the fire pit scene they helped reshape (and the dance they added to it), the bucket list item that was hardest to pull off on set, and their own real-life bucket lists — one involves Japan, the other involves Celine Dion.

Falling For Vermont is a cozy 2017 Hallmark fall movie starring Julie Gonzalo and Benjamin Ayres, complete with small-town charm, autumn scenery, and a best-selling author who unexpectedly finds herself starting over. After losing her memory, Angela takes refuge in a picturesque Vermont town where a local doctor and his family help her piece together who she is - and perhaps discover what she really wants. We’re talking amnesia, fall festivals, sweet small-town romance, and some memorable thrift-store fashion along the way.
