Switched For Christmas

Switched for Christmas a 2017 Hallmark movie Not knowing anything about this movie before going into it, we were very pleasantly surprised by its warm and wholesome Christmas spirit.

A Very Merry Toy Store

A Very Merry Toy Store is a 2017 Lifetime movie Wow. This movie is unbelievable. We were really anticipating good things with this one; I mean Melissa Joan Hart in a Christmas movie – what’s not to love? Turns out. A lot.

Holiday Rush

Christmas Inheritance

Christmas Inheritance is a 2017 Netflix movie. Upon first watch, this movie makes you cringe. Upon third watch, you love this movie in the same way you love your sweatpants. It’s wonderfully predictable with a real douche-bag villain and some inspiring community vibes. My favourite moments are when dull writing is spiced up with exaggeratedContinue reading “Christmas Inheritance”
