I watched them from the Hallmark app

PP - where on the app? DD and I watched part of a movie this weekend and wanted to finish it. Downloaded the app and all we could find was the trailer.

It may have expired? It seems like the newer movies have a quick expiration date. Like, I had to watch Christmas Bedtime Stories yesterday because it was doing to expire on 11/2. I have to finish the other two today as well because they will also expire.

Mine too! Woo hoo. And I'm "allowed" to watch now that Halloween is gone.

Can't wait for the Big City Exec to be detailed back to his small home town, U.S.A., where he meets the local bakery owner. Sparks fly before a Big Misunderstanding. Then, the reunion 'neath a gently falling Christmas Eve snow, in front of perfect Christmas lights. LOL.

Christmas in Toyland is the first movie of the year that has checked off pretty much every formulaic bubble, although I guess this one premiered during Christmas in July. Data analyst tries to save a struggling toy store from being closed down (probably because the manager is giving all the toys away to families in need) and ends up leaving her job to make creepy hand carved figures. The film includes a trip to a Christmas Market, hot chocolate, a Christmas tree lot (because they need a "real" tree, even though the prop they use is definitely fake), and a big Christmas party montage. Oh, and it's supposed to take place in NYC, so they're definitely both going broke before the end of the season.

Bedtime stories- I missed a section. Did she call it off with her fiancé before the dance? They were definitely heavy, handed with the signs that the dead husband was not really dead. I don’t know why they didn’t make him look a little scruffy. It was like he was just hanging out at the hotel for three years.

I actually did like kismet Christmas. It was a little ridiculous, but I thought it was really cute, especially the ending. It was nice to see the lead actress be someone new. I always liked her on Parenthood.

Yes, she broke it off with Pierce before the dance. Disappointing Audrey in not having a father figure take her to the dance.

I'm enjoying Ghosts of Christmas Always - good call on this one!

Since they're showing new and old movies 24/7 for the next 10 weeks, here are some "oldies" that I try to catch every season, and saw on the channel guide:

Nine Lives of Christmas - everyone in that movie is delightful. They made a sequel last year, the Nine Kittens of Christmas, which was just okay. Kimberly Sustad is one of my Christmas favorites.
Snow Bride - fake dating, misunderstandings, gossip rags, politics. Love it.
On the 12th Date of Christmas - I didn't give this one a chance the first time it was on, but Tyler Hines has become one of my favorite Hallmark leads, even though he has an unfortunate haircut in this movie.

Lifetime started their non-stop Christmas movies this week too. They're playing The Christmas Contract this weekend, which is another fun one!

I love On the 12th Date of Christmas. It’s one of my favorites! I also really liked Christmas at the Plaza bc I apparently like leads who were in Agents of Shield.

Wait, what? I don't even watch Christmas movies (came to see if this thread might convince me) and...Agents of Shield alumni? I'm in. Don't even care which ones.

Yep! Aida is in 12 dates and Simmons is in the Plaza one.

There is another non-Christmas one with Grant Ward and the daughter of the hydra guy. It was really weird to watch them as leads in a Hallmark together.

My fave ever.

I'm the PP to whom you're responding -- Aida is Mallory Jansen, who was in my all time favorite series, "Galavant"! I'll have to catch her Hallmark movies. And you should check out "Galavant" (streams on Hulu)....

The plaza one gets surprisingly good reviews.

Do these ever get included on Amazon prime? It sends like they have dinner of the cheesey Christmas fare, but maybe not Hallmark? How does this all work?
