Why Christmas? Why not St. Patrick’s Day or even Easter movies? Dumb.

It could have been even worse like a Hallmark romance marathon or a Hallmark mystery marathon.

If nothing gooses TPTB to end the panic, this certainly will. How much can a human being endure?

This is unusual. Hallmark usually doesn't start their Christmas movie marathons 'til July.

perhaps all the hallmark movies will have the same effect as Puberty Love did on those killer tomatoes.

Hallmark will air 27 original Countdown to Christmas movies ...
As much as I dislike Hallmark - especially their Christmas crap - at least they're responding.
Someone ought to give Turner Classic Movie channel a kick in the @ss. Their movie choices, especially at prime time, SUCK.

fractured family attempts Christmas reunion, but circumstances are aligned against them
troubles, sadness, calamity, ensue
then, a Christmas miracle and everyone is re-united

Or lesbian relationships. That is the new thing, now.

A few days of Columbo and mix it up with others from the NBC mystery movie show lineup.
Sort of what A&E used to do.

“Why Christmas? Why not St. Patricks Day or even Easter movies? Dumb.”
Hallmark usually does this in June/July. Some of us here like their Christmas movies.
They have one or two Irish-flavored movies, a few
“Spring” movies, and a lot of Christmas and Valentines Day movies, and just got donw playing the last.
To: Oshkalaboomboom
I bet they have to be careful not to show the Lori Laughlin “Garage Sale Mysteries”.
