Movie Review: My Christmas Inn (2018)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In order to prepare posts for Blogmas 2025, I’ve been watching a lot of romantic Christmas movies. The Hallmark Channel has many Christmas movies to watch, but this year I wanted to try something different: I wanted to watch the romantic Christmas movies that are not from Hallmark.

The first movies I decided to watch is My Christmas Inn. It is from Lifetime and premiere in 2018. This one caught my eye because it stars Tina Mowry-Hardict. I remember watching it a long time ago, but I felt like I forgot about most of it. I found it available other than watch for free on Lifetime’s official YouTube channel in order to review it for this post.

Movie Review: A Merry Scottish Christmas (2023)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every Christmas season, Hallmark releases many Christmas themed romance movies. In most recent years, I felt overwhelmed by the amount of movies Hallmark releases ever holiday season. For the most part, I like them, but I don’t really love them.

In 2023, Hallmark released A Merry Scottish Christmas. When I watched it for the first time, I was really impressed by it. Since then, I’ve dwelled on the movie and how different it is from other royal Christmas romance movies I’ve watched over the past few years. This brought me to decided to write a review about it for Blogmas.

Movie Review: Hats Off To Christmas! (2013)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

The early to mid 2010’s was the time when I would watch the Hallmark Channel movies the most. I looked forward to every holiday season when new movies would be released. In 2013, one of the movies I was excited to see was Hats Off To Christmas!.

Hats Off To Christmas! seemed like a cheesy name for a movie, but it wasn’t the reason why I wanted to watch it. It was because Hailey Duff, Hilary Duff’s sister, would star in the movie. Earlier this year, I was reminded of the movie online. I didn’t have this blog back when the movie premiered, so I thought it is about time I write a review about it before I forget about it again!

Movie Review: Let It Snow (2013)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last fall, I began to binge watch Hallmark movies that were available to watch for free with ads. I had multiple movies to pick from including some of Hallmark’s famous Christmas romances. For the most part I remember watching most of them, but the one I remember liking was Let It Snow. It has been a while since I watched it, so I decided to watch it again.

Now that it’s Christmas time again, I wanted to include a review for the movie for this year’s Blogmas posts.

Movie Review: Good Morning Christmas! (2020)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every year, Hallmark releases a plethora of clean romantic Christmas themed movies. Sometimes, they are good. Sometimes they aren’t. Still, I enjoy trying to watch as many as I can. (I’m a sucker for clean romantic movies and books!)

Good Morning Christmas! premiered in 2020. I purchased a DVD version of it as part of a three movie set that I purchased in 2021. Since then, I have watched it multiple times and now feel like it is a good time to write a review about it. After all, I have multiple years to watch it and think about it!

Movie Review: A Princess for Christmas (2011)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every holiday season, I enjoy watching Hallmark Christmas movies. For anyone who read this blog for a while, this probably comes as no surprise. Even though I enjoy the new movies that are released every year, there are a handful of movies that I enjoy watching more than all the new and old movies Hallmark makes. One of these movies is A Princess for Christmas.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

On November 29, 2022, CBS aired Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Even though I owned the show on DVD, I watched this year’s broadcast due to an overwhelming need for Christmas nostalgic. After the show ended, a new, one hour show premiered on CBS. The show, called Reindeer in Here, was a new show for 2022. Since it was new, I decided to watch it. After watching it, I decided to write a review about it for Blogmas. Continue reading “TV Show Review: Reindeer in Here (2022)” →

TV Show Review: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every year for many decades, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer airs on TV. Since I was a little girl, I really enjoyed watching it. There were a few years when I didn’t want to watch it, but this year, I felt like I needed to watch it. On November 29, 2022, CBS aired the beloved Christmas special. Even though I own the show on DVD, I wanted to watch it on TV. I needed to watch it this way due to nostalgic reasons.

I wanted to write more posts about classic Christmas specials for Blogmas. Since I felt it was very important to watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer this year, I decided to write a review post this year. Continue reading “TV Show Review: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964)” →

Movies I’m Looking Forward to Watch During Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas 2022

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s that time of the year when the Hallmark Channel will premiere their new Christmas romance movies! Some may not enjoy it, but I do. I don’t always get to see every single new movie, but I am excited to see what kind of movies Hallmark created for the new holiday season.

This year, the movies will start to premiere on Friday, October 21, 2022. From October 21st to December 18th, there will be one new movie premiere every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The only difference is on Thanksgiving week, when there will be a new movie premiere on on Thursday, November 24 AKA Thanksgiving. The Friday, Saturday, and Sunday after Thanksgiving will have two new movie premieres every day instead of one. A print off of the movie premiere schedule is available on the Hallmark Channel’s website.

I am very excited to see every new movie that premieres, but there are always movies that stand out to me more than others. I want to mention those movies in a post, in case anyone is wondering what kind of Hallmark movies I enjoy watching and will probably like. Not every movie will suit everyone’s taste, but I hope you find a movie on my list that you may enjoy as well!

Movie Review: The Christmas Ornament (2013)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A few years ago, I purchased a four movie DVD set of Hallmark Christmas movies. I already watched these movies, but I decided to purchase the set anyway. The reason is because I wanted to keep a copy of each of the movies in a place where I knew I would spend a lot of time and would probably need a cheerful holiday movie to brighten my spirits. The four movie set was the most economical way to accomplish this.

Recently, I started going through the DVDs I kept in the area and rediscovered the DVD set. I was going through a very stressful time and began watching the movies in the set to cheer me up and give me some piece. One of the movies from the set is The Christmas Ornament.
