Was the "fake dating" (or fake breakup?) trope a winner, or did the family fighting get too intense? Eric thinks this might be a top-tier movie for the year, while Andrea is a bit more skeptical.We also break down the "The 12 Dates of Christmas" finale (Episodes 5 & 6). Did Kate finally grow on us? Was the ending satisfying? Plus, we have a major disagreement on "The Christmas Baby." Is it a tender, slow-burn classic or a story with too many plot holes?Plus, we touch on the Finding Mr. Christmas reunion and a few non-Hallmark surprises (hello, Jonas Brothers!).In this video:Why A Make or Break Holiday might be the best-produced movie of the year.Our final verdict on the 12 Dates of Christmas series.The debate over The Christmas Baby and its adoption storyline.A quick look at Finding Mr. Christmas and the new lead!Let us know in the comments: Which of these final movies was your favorite? 👇🔔 Subscribe for more Hallmark movie reviews and rankings!Follow us on social media: Instagram and TikTok: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website. This podcast was created by fans for fans and is NOT affiliated with or sponsored by Hallmark or the Hallmark Channel.
