Girls Gone Hallmark

Hallmark continues its Winter Escape slate with another globe-trotting romance, proving that this season is less about snowflakes and more about passport stamps. Love on the Amazon takes viewers deep into Brazil, where Claire (Jaicy Elliot) hires riverboat captain Danny (Rafael de la Fuente) to help her deliver an important message to her sister, a marine biologist studying pink dolphins along the Amazon River. What starts as a practical journey quickly turns into an adventure filled with connection, chemistry, and just enough unpredictability to keep things interesting. With sweeping scenery and a romance that builds as naturally as the river itself, Love on the Amazon fits squarely into Hallmark’s travel-forward approach to Winter Escape - inviting viewers to get a little lost and enjoy the ride.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/love-on-the-amazon-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Today we’re reviewing Ripple Episode 7 “The Gift.” In this episode, Nate’s illness takes a serious turn, Walter continues to show up for the people around him in quiet, meaningful ways, and Ellis and Rebecca are forced to confront what their future looks like — together or apart. This is the episode we knew was coming, even if we weren’t ready for it, and in this review we’re breaking down what works, what hurts, and why The Gift leaves us with a lot of questions heading into the finale.View full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/ripple-episode-7-review-the-gift/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

At Girls Gone Hallmark, we usually live in a world of cozy towns, predictable meet-cutes, and romances that wrap up neatly before the final commercial break. That’s our lane - and we love it. But every so often, we step just outside the Hallmark bubble to check out a movie that feels adjacent enough to spark conversation on both sides. That’s exactly why we’re reviewing People We Meet on Vacation, Netflix’s latest romantic film that’s been catching the attention of both rom-com fans and book lovers alike.For full episode shownotes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/people-we-meet-on-vacation-netflix/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Put another shrimp on the barbie because Hallmark is heading down under. A Melbourne Match drops us in Australia with Georgie, a travel writer who’s all deadlines and no downtime until she meets Zach, a charming Aussie ex-footballer who volunteers as her personal tour guide. With Melbourne vibes, wanderlust energy, and a romance that sneaks up on her between assignments, this one looks ready to prove that sometimes the best match isn’t in your inbox - it’s the one showing you around town. Starring Mallory Jansen and Ryan Corr, this feels like a cozy Hallmark rom-com with an Australian accent - and yes, we’re already saying “no worries” about it.Find Full Episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/a-melbourne-match-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Ripple Episode 6, “The White Coat,” is a quieter chapter on paper, but emotionally it does some of the heaviest lifting of the season so far. In this episode, the story leans into grief, trust, and the complicated choices that come with letting go - not just of people, but of certainty. We’re breaking down how each storyline circles the same question: where do you put your faith when life keeps taking things away? From Walter’s deeply moving arc to the growing tension between Kris, Nate, and Aria, this episode left us reflective, hopeful, and ready to talk about community, boundaries, and what it really means to show up for one another.Find full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/ripple-episode-6-review/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Welcome to a Listener Mailbag episode, where the inbox is popping off and the vibes are… spirited. We’re starting today with a message that would like us to know - very clearly - that our Sue Thomas F.B.Eye pilot review was, in their words, bad and wrong. Just to clarify: we watched the pilot, we didn’t love it, and we said that out loud on the internet. No regrets. From there, we’re opening emails that range from “I just discovered you and adore you” to extremely detailed holiday-season critiques to sequel intel. And yes, we’re also addressing a suggestion that we host a fundraiser or contest where a listener records an episode with us - which sounds adorable, generous, and wildly optimistic about our influence. As always, thank you for caring enough to write in - whether you’re cheering us on or yelling at us through your phone.

We’re kicking off 2026 Hallmark movies in style  - and possibly barefoot - with Lost in Paradise, the very first Hallmark movie of the year and the perfect launch for January’s Winter Escape theme. When a high-powered fashion founder finds herself unexpectedly marooned on an island with a talented chef, survival turns into sparks, teamwork turns into tension, and romance sneaks in right along with the tropical breeze. Starring Lacey Chabert and Ian Harding, this one is serving escapism, chemistry, and “why am I suddenly craving a beach vacation?” energy.Click here for full episode show notes: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/lost-in-paradise-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Ripple Episode 5 slows everything way down - and somehow makes it hurt more. This episode leans hard into grief, exhaustion, and the quiet moments where life feels stuck while everyone else keeps moving. Between Aria’s isolation after her miscarriage, Nate’s physical limits becoming impossible to ignore, and a surprise emotional gut punch delivered via an internet customer service call (of all things), Episode 5 trades big plot twists for something heavier and more intimate. It’s not flashy, but it’s deeply felt and it left us sitting in our feelings long after the credits rolled.For full episode shownotes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/ripple-episode-5-review/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

In their latest review, Megan and Wendy dive into the holiday heart of Santa Tell Me, where Olivia is falling for Chris… or maybe it’s Nick? With Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing back in action, this movie serves up a twisty romance wrapped in holiday charm. Tune in to Girls Gone Hallmark to hear if Olivia finally finds her Christmas miracle - or if this story left Megan and Wendy longing for a bit more magic!Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/santa-tell-me-hallmark-movie-review/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Hallmark’s January Movie Lineup is kicking off 2026 with sunshine, travel, second chances, and a fresh start kind of energy. With five new movies, one returning series, and one Hallmark+ wildcard, Hallmark is leaning fully into escapism to start the year. We sat down to share our very first impressions of what’s coming - and here’s where we landed. Think tropical locations, slow burn romances, and at least one movie we already cannot wait for.Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Guiding Emily is one of those quietly powerful Hallmark movies that sneaks up on you - in the best way. After Emily loses her eyesight and a guide dog struggles to complete his training, two separate journeys of loss, resilience, and hope begin moving toward the same destination. Through near-misses and emotional setbacks, both learn how to trust again and keep going. Starring Sarah Drew and Antonio Cupo, this film leans into tenderness over tropes and delivers a story that’s heartfelt, meaningful, and surprisingly moving.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/guiding-emily-hallmark-movie-review/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Ripple Episode 4 leans into memory, grief, and the quiet consequences of missed moments. As Kris returns home and reconnects with the place where her love of music first took shape, Walter steps back onto the basketball court - met not with pity, but with warmth, once the guys learn of his wife’s recent death. And hovering over it all is the storm: not just weather, but a force that disrupts communication, timing, and closure. In this episode, people don’t quite say the thing when they should - and Ripple reminds us how often life moves on before we’re ready.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/ripple-episode-4-review/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Sun, sand, and emotional whiplash - welcome to Two Tickets to Paradise. This Hallmark escape drops two jilted almost-newlyweds into the same Hawaiian resort, proving that sometimes the worst day of your life might come with an ocean view and unexpected chemistry. Starring Ashley Williams, Ryan Paevey, and Mary-Margaret Humes, this movie is pure vacation-core Hallmark, and Megan’s first impression says absolutely everything: “Ryan. Freaking. Paevey.”For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/two-tickets-to-paradise-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Girls Gone Hallmark reviews Taking a Shot at Love, a Hallmark romance that blends tutus with hockey tape and somehow makes ballet rehab feel surprisingly swoony. Starring Alexa PenaVega and Luke Macfarlane, this one asks the important questions: can pliés really fix a broken NHL body, can a small Connecticut town slow down a professional athlete’s life, and what happens when chemistry sneaks in right as the future is pulling two people in opposite directions?Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/taking-a-shot-at-love-hallmark-movie-review/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

This Listener Mailbag is doing the most—in the best way. We’re talking Ripple, IMDb ratings that make absolutely no sense, and officially wrapping up another Countdown to Christmas with plenty of thoughts, notes, and gentle disagreements. Plus a peek into our Patreon conversations, some Hallmark-adjacent recommendations, and the kind of listener insight that reminds us why this community is the coziest corner of the Hallmark universe.  Let’s jump in one last time this year.Find full episode show notes: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/listener-mailbag/ Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

The Christmas Baby is a tender holiday story about love arriving before you feel fully ready for it. When a newborn appears on Erin and Kelly’s doorstep just days before Christmas, the couple finds themselves balancing their relationship, a booming business, and an unexpected crash course in parenthood. What follows is a gentle, heartfelt journey about choosing family, finding your footing together, and discovering that sometimes the greatest gifts come wrapped in the most unexpected ways.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-christmas-baby-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

A Make or Break Holiday isn’t trying to convince us that love is easy - it’s asking whether it’s worth choosing when things get hard. From the jump, this one surprised us (living together? buying a house? okay Hallmark, we see you) and leaned into the very real growing pains of a couple still figuring out how they fit. Set against a competitive, chaotic family Christmas, the movie explores communication, compromise, and the uncomfortable truth that loving someone doesn’t automatically mean you agree on everything - and that felt refreshingly honest for a holiday romance. Plus, this winner of Finding Mr. Christmas makes his Hallmark Channel debut!View full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/a-make-or-break-holiday-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Girls Gone Hallmark is stepping just slightly outside the usual Hallmark lane - and we’re doing it happily. Ripple, which was originally developed as a Hallmark+ series before finding its home on Netflix, feels unlike anything else we typically cover: quieter, moodier, and far less interested in formulas or easy resolutions. That difference is exactly why it works. Ripple episode 3 continues to move the story forward with confidence, rewarding emotional honesty over drawn-out secrets and trusting its audience to sit with discomfort. It’s thoughtful, character-driven storytelling that feels refreshingly grown-up - and we’re very in.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/ripple-episode-3-review/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: girlsgonehallmark@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy
