HEY FOLKS, do you just…want to inexplicably immerse yourself in white, bland, “safe,” unoriginal, heteronormative, overwhelmingly Christian and/or unspecified “generic holiday” (meaning Christian-based or Christian-inspired) “family-friendly fun”? I don’t recommend doing that. I really, really don’t recommend doing that.
HEY FOLKS, INSTEAD, do you want holiday fic ideas for your OTPs that you can blatantly steal from Hallmark Channel and make better? WELL, HERE ARE
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX
movie plots that I have compiled from Hallmark Channel and its adjunct Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. I should warn you, they get very, very repetitive after a while.
*“Holiday,” in this instance, means largely Christmas, with some Thanksgiving and Halloween mixed in. I attempted to do other ones such as Valentine’s Day, until I realized that it was next to impossible to separate the specifically holiday-themed ones from the generic romance ones they play all year, not to mention they don’t seem to advertise the other holiday movies as much, AND I AM TIRED, I AM DONE, NO MORE, NO MORE, I BEG OF YOU, 136 IS ENOUGH.
**A small number of these may have first aired on CBS or ABC Family, but I remember specifically first seeing them on Hallmark, so I’ve included them here, because to me they are part of The Hallmark Experience™. Unless I’ve made an error, all titles are made-for-TV movies (unless otherwise indicated).
[
Strikethroughsin a title indicate ones that I know I have seen. There might be ones on here that I don’t remember I have seen. MY CURRENT SCORE IS 32 OUT OF 136, ROUGHLY 23.5% OF ALL THE HOLIDAY HALLMARK FILMS ON THIS LIST. What’s YOUR score?]
Okay, you guys- anyone want to take these up for Tasertricks?
