It’s the most wonderful time of the year: made-for-television-holiday-movie season!
If you know me, you know that I am 100% IN on all the cheesiness that these movies have to offer. Hallmark movies, in particular, hold a special place in my heart. Give me a quaint small town, a hot cocoa-themed festival, a dash of Christmas magic, and a G-rated love story, and I am there.
With SO many offerings available on both streaming services and cable networks, you have no excuse to be a Scrooge this holiday season. 2020 has been a rough one, so these feel-good films are just the kind of holly-jolly comfort and joy we could all use right now.
As a resident expert on all things holiday movie, enjoy this fun little quiz I’ve created:

When you receive a call that your dad has suffered a (very minor) injury, you reluctantly must go home and help run the family Christmas tree lot for the holiday season. Once home, you are reunited with your first true love and have to decide if you should risk your big career plans for the love of your life. What will you do?
Mostly 2’s – You are … the Big Bad Wolf of Real Estate Movie!
You absolutely love running your family’s rustic mountainside lodge, which has been in the family for generations.

You are determined to save your lodge and show Mr. Real Estate Tycoon the true magic that lies within. And, who knows, you may just fall in love along the way.
Mostly 3’s – You are… The Quintessential Royal Movie!
You are the Princess of a very small, very fictional European country who dreams of living a normal life of anonymity. While in the village doing a little incognito holiday shopping, you run into a charming tourist. You and the tourist strike up an unlikely friendship and begin seeing one another, partaking in all sorts of essential winter activities. As you grow closer and closer, you know you must divulge your secret, but you are scared to tell him your true identity. Is your new blossoming love enough to overcome all your differences?
