Girls Gone Hallmark

We’re checking our list twice this week as Girls Gone Hallmark dives into She’s Making a List, a movie where Christmas spirit meets corporate compliance in the cutest possible way. When a Naughty-or-Nice inspector shows up to evaluate a little girl’s holiday standing, she definitely isn’t expecting to fall head-over-snowboots for the girl’s widowed dad… or to start questioning every rule in her meticulously color-coded handbook. Will love win out over protocol, or is this one destined for the “nice try” pile? Stars Lacey Chabert and Andrew Walker.Find full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/shes-making-a-list-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

Welcome to our Ripple Episode 1 review, where your favorite Hallmark movie podcasters take a surprising detour into Netflix territory. Why? Because Ripple was originally developed for Hallmark before finding its home on Netflix - and we couldn’t resist following its journey. In this episode, we break down the premiere, talk through the twists, and share why this darker, character-driven series immediately grabbed our attention.View full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/ripple-episode-1-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

Merry Thanksgiving Weekend has been firing on all cylinders, so naturally we had to ask: can The Christmas Cup hang with the big hitters? This one follows Staff Sergeant Kelly Brandt, home on leave with a knee injury and a heart still tangled in what her future might look like. But instead of resting, Kelly’s drafted into leading her hometown team in the annual Christmas Cup - a competition that’s equal parts festive, chaotic, and oddly high-stakes. Along the way, she learns there’s more than one way to serve a community, even if it’s not the way she imagined. Let’s break down where this movie scores - and where it maybe… airballs.For full episode shownotes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-christmas-cup-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

Merry Thanksgiving Weekend continues to purr right along, and Christmas at the Catnip Café might just be the cozy little furball of joy we didn’t know we needed. Starring Hallmark favorites Erin Cahill and Paul Campbell, this one whisks us to upstate New York, where Olivia inherits half a cat cafe and immediately starts plotting her escape - err, sale - before the holidays. The only hitch? Her co-owner, Dr. Ben Kane, a community-loving veterinarian who’s not about to let this feline haven go without a hissing fight. As they team up to save the cafe, raise funds, and wrangle a town full of adorable cats, sparks fly, hearts soften, and secrets about Olivia’s great aunt just might be the cat-alyst for a change of plans. Grab your cocoa and your lint roller - let’s dig in.View full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/christmas-at-the-catnip-cafe-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

Hallmark is stepping onto one of country music’s most legendary stages, and we have to ask: can a time-travel Christmas drama hit all the right notes? In A Grand Ole Opry Christmas, Nikki DeLoach stars as Gentry Wade, the daughter of a country icon who has spent decades avoiding the spotlight and the heartache tied to her father’s legacy. One invitation to the Opry’s centennial celebration sends her back into the twang and tinsel she left behind… and, thanks to a little Christmas magic, straight into 1995. Suddenly she is face to face with her younger self, her lifelong friend Mac and the father whose absence shaped everything. This week on Girls Gone Hallmark, we dive into the nostalgia, the music and the emotional high notes to see whether this Opry-set story delivers a holiday encore worth cheering for.

Curtains up, jazz hands out, and someone please warm up the snow machine - The Snow Must Go On is pure Christmas musical chaos in the best possible way. Isaiah, a once-Broadway-bright actor now dimmed by a decade of setbacks, flees to upstate New York for a holiday recharge and instead lands smack in the middle of a high school production hanging by a tinsel thread. One minute he’s sipping cocoa, the next he’s directing teenagers, casting himself as the lead, and trying to win over a Broadway power player...only to stumble into romance and a whole lot of self-rediscovery. It’s festive, it’s dramatic, it’s camp - and we were born ready to review it.View full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-snow-must-go-on-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 turning up the heat for Melt My Heart This Christmas, a holiday story rooted as much in artistic ambition as seasonal charm. The film follows Holly, a gifted glassblower who lands a last-minute dream opportunity to assist her artistic idol at a famed Christmas market - only to discover that the real tension isn’t with Jack but with the mentor she’s idolized for years. What unfolds is a story of creative collaboration and bruised trust as Holly realizes that talent, recognition, and loyalty can all shatter under pressure. Starring Laura Vandervoort and Stephen Huszar, this one’s more kiln drama than meet-cute.For full episode shownotes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/melt-my-heart-this-christmas-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

Morgan and Gabe join forces to track down the mysterious Christmas benefactor who once helped Morgan’s family, all while their own will-they/won’t-they dynamic inches forward like a slow march up the field.
