Pleasantville, in a good sense. Or not.

Spoiler alert. This is a lame comment and not nearly as clever as you think.

But you guys are kind of persuading me to try one...

+1 I’ve always avoided this channel around Christmas as these movies preempt reruns of Golden Girls, but this thread has me intrigued.

I only like them when the leads have obviously good chemistry.

FYI the double booked cabin one is called Christmas Getaway.

My mom leaves this channel on so ended up watching this one couple times last week

Yes! My mother in law was here for most of the month and we watched hallmark movies. They’re rated G! What on TV is rated G!

I really enjoyed two this year with Candace Cameron Bure. I never watched Full House so didn't really know who she was.

One was Journey Back to Christmas, sort of a time travel theme. She's a nurse from the 40's who ends up in our time.

In the second she plays a doctor who ends up in Alaska.

I miss some of the old Lifetime Christmas movies like Ebbie and Comfort and Joy.

Was this a Hallmark movie? Sounds a little more like Lifetime! Or maybe the Sci Fi channel.

It’s so funny because your first paragraph sounds like the start of a Hallmark movie:

“I am a city person, no kids, already happily married, Jewish, don't particularly like Xmas”

I know what you need! A romp to a small town that is obsessed with Christmas. Perhaps a man in flannel?

I'm a white woman who doesn't celebrate Christmas and I can't stand them.

I like the shots of people constantly sipping warm drinks in fake snow, walking around pretty small towns with impeccable decorations.
