  • 064: A Newport Christmas I Ginna Claire Mason & Wes Brown

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Love on the Pod, we’re setting sail through time with Hallmark’s A Newport Christmas, starring Ginna Claire Mason and Wes Brown.

    Set against the gilded backdrop of 1905 Newport, the story follows Ella—an ambitious, big-hearted socialite who dreams of using her privilege to help others. But when her father arranges an engagement she doesn’t want, one impulsive wish under a shooting star sends her more than a century into the future—straight into the path of Nick, a charming sailor and historian who knows her story all too well.

    Jessica and Sherri dive into this festive blend of romance, history and time travel, unpacking everything from the lavish costuming to the surprising emotional depth. They debate whether the time-jump twist worked, gush over the chemistry between Mason and Brown and ask the big question: would you risk changing history for love?

    Listen wherever you get your podcasts, and follow Love on the Pod for your weekly dose of cozy, time-twisting holiday romance.

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week, we’re diving into episode 2 of Finding Mr. Christmas season 2, where contestants faced off in a gift-tossing challenge that required them to shoot presents into Santa’s sleigh, followed by a reindeer-themed photo shoot that was equal parts festive and chaotic.

    We talk through who shined, who surprised us and how this round managed to feel both ridiculous and kind of endearing. No cringe moments here—just plenty of Christmas charm, a few unexpected connections and the kind of wholesome fun that keeps us coming back for more.

    So whether you’re launching gifts into a sleigh or just trying to keep your holiday spirit on target, tune in as we unwrap another round of festive matchmaking.

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Love on the Pod, Jessica and Sherri unwrap Hallmark’s Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper — starring Kimberley Sustad and Robert Buckley in a festive reunion that proves sometimes the best gifts are the ones you didn’t see coming. 

    When a hometown doctor (Sustad) finds herself face-to-face with her old high school classmate-turned-weather man (Buckley), sparks — and snow — start to fly. There’s community spirit, small-town charm and just enough mischief to make you believe in Christmas magic all over again.

    Join us as we break down the nostalgia, the escape room flirtation and that lollipop moment, plus we play a round of holiday-themed superlatives.

    So grab your peppermint mocha, put on your coziest sweater and settle in — whether you’re hanging lights or dodging your own hometown ex, this one’s for you.

    Hallmark is giving us a Halloween treat this year with the third installment in the Haul Out the Holly series: Haul Out the Halloween.

    In this episode, hosts Jessica and Sherri dig into all the cozy, campy fun that comes with Evergreen Lane’s big Halloween transformation.

    • The chemistry between the ensemble cast and why this installment might be their most playful yet
    • The delightfully nostalgic cameo from Kimberly J. Brown and Daniel Kountz (yes, Marnie and Kal from Halloweentown)
    • Favorite scenes, costumes and the best Halloween party moments from Evergreen Lane

    We also talk about our favorite Halloween treats and traditions while throwing in a little Taylor Swift chatter. Because...why not!??

  • 057: Someone Like You I Sarah Fisher & Jake Allyn

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Love on the Pod, it’s just Sherri and Jessica chatting all things Someone Like You, starring Sarah Fisher and Jake Allyn.

    But here’s the twist: Sherri was swept up in the heartfelt romance, while Jessica wasn’t quite convinced. We dive into what worked (and what didn’t), the moments that tugged on heartstrings and the parts that fell a little flat. Along the way, we talk chemistry, family drama and the tropes that either delighted us or made us roll our eyes.

    It’s a fun back-and-forth filled with laughs, debate and a reminder that not every cheesy romance lands the same way for everyone. Grab a coffee, settle in and hear both sides of Someone Like You.

  • 056: Faith in the Flames - The Nichole Jolly Story I Chrissy Metz

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week, we’re stepping outside our usual Hallmark lane and diving into Lifetime’s powerful original movie Faith in the Flames: The Nichole Jolly Story. Based on true events, this film recounts the harrowing experience of Nichole Jolly, a nurse who survived the devastating 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California.

    We break down the movie’s emotional storytelling, the real-life heroism behind Nichole’s survival and how Lifetime translated her extraordinary journey to the screen. Along the way, we talk about:

    • The balance between heartbreaking tragedy and uplifting resilience
    • Why Nichole’s story stands apart from the typical disaster movie
    • How the film captures the small, ordinary details that make survival stories hit harder
    • Where Lifetime leaned into their signature style—and where they surprised us

    Of course, we add our signature Love on the Pod flavor: tropes, favorite moments and a few laughs.

    Whether you watched the movie, followed coverage of the Camp Fire, or just enjoy true-story Lifetime dramas, this episode will leave you both inspired and thoughtful.
