The Christmas Cup

from Girls Gone Hallmark · host Wendy Nielsen and Megan Samarin

Merry Thanksgiving Weekend has been firing on all cylinders, so naturally we had to ask: can The Christmas Cup hang with the big hitters? This one follows Staff Sergeant Kelly Brandt, home on leave with a knee injury and a heart still tangled in what her future might look like. But instead of resting, Kelly’s drafted into leading her hometown team in the annual Christmas Cup - a competition that’s equal parts festive, chaotic, and oddly high-stakes. Along the way, she learns there’s more than one way to serve a community, even if it’s not the way she imagined. Let’s break down where this movie scores - and where it maybe… airballs.For full episode shownotes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-christmas-cup-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy
