For years, major film companies have been making movies for the holiday season. Every year, classics like “Home Alone” and “Elf” steal the screen. However, after all these years, people tend to get bored of the same old same old. That is why it is time for something new, something… unoriginal, and that is none other than the Hallmark Christmas movie.
When it comes to Christmas movies, the Hallmark channel has it all. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting back and watching a movie that you cannot tell if you have already seen. Why stress yourself with the worry of not knowing what comes next? With Hallmark Christmas movies there is only one plot, meaning once you have seen one, you’ve seen them all.
Not only is it a relief from the trouble of finding other movies, but it also is the perfect story format. In every one of these movies, there is always an unhappy big-city girl returning home to a small town. There, she finds herself in love with a small-town man, only to find out that they are rivals in some way! But do not fret, because whether it’s a bake-off or two competing small businesses, there is always a compromise to be made. After celebrating their differences and sharing a kiss under the mistletoe, they proceed to live happily ever after in the small town as the fake snow swiftly falls.
Finally, there is no need to familiarize yourself with so many different actors! Most of these movies have the same cast nearly every time. With a Christmas Hallmark movie, you do not have to worry about forgetting who the lead is because it is almost always the same person every time! This removes the last main stress one might have while watching a Christmas movie.
All of these combined are the reason why Hallmark Christmas movies are the next big thing. There are around 300 Hallmark Christmas movies, meaning you will never have to worry about finding the perfect one. With their cheesy romances and fake snow, a movie like this is all one could ask for during the holiday season.
