We discuss how they came to be, why there are so many of them ($$$), and which Countdown to Christmas movies sound actually amazing and which sound amazingly silly. Plus put on your fuzzy socks and join us under a fluffy blanket to co-write the next holiday classic movie with us using our build-your-own-Hallmark movie worksheet.
