Give an Unexpected Christmas an Oscar

Chinggay and Patty cringe through a few misses and revel at the massive number of hits that Hallmark’s Merry Thanksgiving streak had to offer. It was like the veritable HCU Avengers came to town, with Niall Matter (worming his way into our panties again), Tyler Hynes (who we have F’d and M’d one too many times), unexpected cameos from actors who’ve stolen our hearts, unexpected bad guy from the big city Trevor Donovan, actual DC superhero fireman Brandon Routh, and Hallmark comedy queens Kimberly Sustad and Bethany Joy Lenz. We lose our sh*t in this episode, and if you watch our recommendations, you’ll know exactly why.Christmas CEO (Marisol Nichols, Paul Greene)Five More Minutes (Nikki DeLoach, David Haydn-Jones)A Kiss Before Christmas (Teri Hatcher, James Denton)A Christmas Together WIth You (Laura Vandervoort, Niall Matter, Harry Lennix)The Nine Kittens of Christmas (Kimberly Sustad, Brandon Routh, Gregory Harrison)Nantucket Noel (Sarah Power, Trevor Donovan)An Unexpected Christmas (Bethany Joy Lenz, Tyler Hynes)Thanks to Pietro Lazatin for our music and Paola Lazatin for our cover artFollow us on Twitter: @makeithallmark and on Instagram: @butmakeithallmark
