A Carol for Two
Evîn’s rating: 6/10
A Carol for Two is a heartwarming Hallmark film that weaves music, romance, and some holiday cheer into a tender story. It follows two strangers brought together by their shared love of caroling. With its picturesque holiday setting in the brightly decorated New York City, the movie delivers all the cozy vibes you’d expect from a Christmas romance. Though the story is classically predictable, it’s a reminder of the magic of connection and the importance of community around Christmas time. The movie had a delightful atmosphere and was overall an engaging film.
Hot Frosty
Evîn’s rating: 2/10 – but a hilarious watch!
Hot Frosty is a quirky addition to Hallmark’s holiday lineup, blending a dash of humor with festive romance. The story follows an unlikely romance between a career-driven protagonist and a warmhearted small-town ice sculptor. This movie was almost comically bad; the storyline was quite simple, yet filled with plot holes, and I found the writing to be really awkward. It was not a great production, but that just made it funnier, and I had a good time watching it!
That Christmas
Evîn’s rating: 9/10
That Christmas is a great addition to this list of movies. Being animated, it’s slightly different from Hallmark movies, but brings a fun and sincere feeling to the screen. The animation brings a cozy and enchanting world to life, perfect for audiences of all ages. While the narrative touches on some deeper and more emotional themes, its heartfelt approach and playful humor keep it engaging. That Christmas is a warm addition to holiday movie collections.
This year’s lineup for Christmas movies is full of fun new films to spice up your collection with! Whether you prefer classic tales or modern twists, these films have the classic magical feel of the holiday season. So grab a blanket, pour some hot cocoa, and let the festive cheer of these stories light up your winter nights!
