      Tonight, Hallmark Channel premiered its newest Countdown To Christmas movie "The Santa Class". While the movie's main plot revolves around the lead characters Dan (Benjamin Ayres) and Kate (Kimberley Sustad) training a potential group of Mall Santas at Kate's North Star Academy, there was one scene early in the movie that addressed a controversial real life issue. In this scene, Dan is informed by his boss Blaise (Alessandro Miro) that he is being fired from their company, The Saint Nicholas Academy. In attempting to justify his decision, Blaise claims that the company CEOs need the money for their year end bonuses. However, Dan brings up a very good point, asking Blaise why the CEOs can't just take a cut on their bonuses instead. In an era where Hallmark Channel has begun to address real life issues that families face, this is a very good question to ask, especially at Christmas time. According to the AFL-CIO's official website, the average CEO to wo...

      Last night, Hallmark Channel premiered its newest Countdown To Christmas film, "Leah's Perfect Gift". The movie revolves around the title character Leah (Emily  Arlook), who was raised Jewish, celebrating her first Christmas with her boyfriend Graham (Evan Roderick). I normally don't like to criticize Hallmark movies, especially Christmas movies, but this movie had SO many problems that I could not let it go. Here are just some of the problems I had with this movie. 1. First, I didn't think there was much chemistry between Leah and Graham. If I'm being honest, there was probably more chemistry in the three minute conversation between Leah and Tricia than there was in the entire movie between Leah and Graham. 2. Unless I missed it, I don't think Maddie's (Sidney Quesnelle) ex-girlfriend (Jade Pattenden) was ever given a name. Even IMDB just lists her as "Maddie's Ex-Girlfriend". Meanwhile, Graham's ex-girlfriend, Julia, was gi...

       Hallmark Channel fans have already seen one pair of actors from a classic television series reunite on one of the network's annual "Countdown To Christmas" movies earlier this week, with "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" actresses Beth Broderick and Caroline Rhea both appearing in "Holiday Mismatch" this past Sunday November 3. Now this weekend will see two more "Countdown To Christmas" movies reuniting actors who previously appeared in a television series together.     First, this Friday November 8, Tammin Sursock and Brant Daugherty star in "Trivia At St. Nick's". Sursock and Daugherty both previously appeared together on the hit television series "Pretty Little Liars", which aired on ABC Family/Freeform from 2010 to 2017, portraying the characters Jenna Marshall and Noel Kahn, respectively. This will be the second Hallmark Channel movie for Tammin Sursock, following 2020's "Adventures In Love & Babysit...
