We finally found a masterpiece with 12 Dates Till Christmas, but the rest of the week had us divided! 🎄 This week, Eric and Andrea review the latest holiday lineup, and while we both fell in love with the charm of 12 Dates, we couldn't be further apart on the others.

Eric defends the quirks of She's Making a List (giving it a solid 4.5), while Andrea found it disjointed. Meanwhile, Andrea raves about Single on the 25th, but Eric thinks it dragged. We also dive into the latest Finding Mr. Christmas elimination, share some throwback reviews from 2014, and chat about Eric's disastrous acupuncture experience.

Movies Reviewed:

• 12 Dates Till Christmas
• She's Making a List
• Single on the 25th

What is it really like to be a "Character Actor" in the massive Hallmark movie universe? In this episode, we sit down with the hilarious and talented Lauren Cochrane (The Christmas Club, A Family Thanksgiving) to pull back the curtain on the life of a working actor.

From a hilarious acupuncture mishap to sharing the screen with legends like Faye Dunaway, Lauren holds nothing back. We discuss why Winnipeg has quietly become the "Hollywood of the North," the brutal reality of Zoom auditions, and why playing the quirky best friend is often more fun than playing the romantic lead. Plus, we put her memory to the test with a Hallmark Character Quiz and get an exclusive look at her role as Hazel Holly in the new movie Sweet Romance.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The "Character Actor" Advantage: Why the supporting roles often have the most freedom (and job security).
• Audition Horror Stories: How the industry shifted from "in the room" chemistry to "self-tape" isolation.
• The Winnipeg Connection: Inside the tight-knit community of actors dominating Hallmark productions.
• Improv vs. Script: How Lauren’s background in comedy helps her save scenes when things go wrong.
• Sweet Romance Scoops: Behind-the-scenes stories from her latest project with Director Jeff Beesley.

I’m sitting down with the delightful Jessy Schram (Chicago Med, Falling Skies) to talk about her incredible career, from her early days starring in the Jane Doe mystery series to becoming a Hallmark Channel favorite! 🎄✨

In this interview, Jessy dishes on her brand new movie, "A Suite Holiday Romance" (also known as Sweet Romance), and what it was like working with co-star Dominic Sherwood. We talk about that stunning sequin dress, the "Pretty Woman" moment on set, and how she balances medical jargon on Chicago Med with holiday romance.

Plus, we take a trip down memory lane to discuss fan-favorites like "The Birthday Wish" with Luke Macfarlane and "Road to Christmas" with Chad Michael Murray. Jessy also opens up about her musical influences (shoutout to Jewel!), her "Kiss, Compete, Repeat" picks, and why this new movie is a must-watch for the holiday season.

In this video:

• Behind the scenes of A Suite Holiday Romance.
• Why The Birthday Wish holds a special place in her heart.
• The difference between filming Chicago Med and Hallmark movies.
• Jessy’s dream musical role (singer vs. actor).

Eric and Andrea dive into the final mystery of Mistletoe Murders: Twas the Fight Before Christmas. Eric has been loving Season 2 but Andrea has been lukewarm, still preferring Season 1. But did this mystery change all that?

Plus they review Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story, Mellt My Heart This Christmas, and the latest Finding Mr Christmas Episode. 

Eric had picked Melt My Heart as his sleeper pick of the season. Was he right?

Andrea and Eric dive into the second installment of Mistletoe Murders' second season, Ides of December. As usual, Eric is all in and loving every minute, while Andrea seems to be a little more lukewarm to season two as a whole. This episode brings a mystery, more reconciliation between Sam and Emily, more glimpses into Emily's past, and some of the funniest moments we have ever seen on this series. 

Plus they give our thoughts on Keller Family Christmas and both share surprising praise of Three Wisest Men and The Tidings of the Holiday.

Mistletoe Murders Season 2 is finally here, and after waiting 11 months, Eric and Andrea are absolutely ready to dive in. Well… after a quick detour through every Hallmark Christmas movie they missed last week because “schedules are bananas.”

In this episode, we speed-review the newest Countdown to Christmas releases — the rough starts, the surprise favorites, the 15-star airplane movie (according to Eric), and the green screens that shall not be named. We even detour briefly into Hulu land because apparently Chad Michael Murray still has the magic touch.

Then we buckle up for Mistletoe Murders S2 Episodes 1 & 2, where we unpack:

✨ Emily & Sam’s tension (healthy? too much? depends which of us you ask)

✨ Violet being the heart of Fletcher’s Grove

✨ Benjamin Ayres sweeping in as a janitor cameo

✨ Flashbacks, coat hooks, and cozy mystery logic

✨ Whether chess scholarships are… a thing?

✨ And the plushie fiasco that broke the internet and Michelle’s patience

Plus: our picks (or lack thereof) for Finding Mr. Christmas, why season 2 feels different, and what we hope is coming next in The Ides of December.

If you’re a Hallmark sleuther who loves good banter, strong opinions, and cozy mysteries with zero threat of nightmares, this one is for you.

Mistletoe Murders Season 2 is finally here — and to celebrate, I’m joined by the one and only Sierra Marilyn Riley, who plays Violet! Sierra opens up about Season 2, her first on-screen kiss, her debut novel, and the wild coincidences between her book and the series.

We also chat about her role in the Middlebridge Mysteries Audible spinoff, what it’s like working with Sarah Drew, Peter Mooney, and Ken Cuperus, and how her Hallmark family has helped her grow as both an actor and a writer.

Grab your chai (or fancy coffee) and settle in for a genuinely heartwarming conversation with one of Hallmark’s brightest young stars.
