Love Under the Mistletoe
Hallmark’s Christmas in July wraps up with Love Under the Mistletoe, the fourth and final premiere of the event. Starring Jen Lilley and Nick Bateman, the movie follows former high school crushes Grace and Ryan as they work together to save a beloved Christmas charity fundraiser – while repeatedly finding themselves beneath some very conveniently placed mistletoe. Or is it holly? You know we’ll be paying close attention! It’s also Jen Lilley’s second Hallmark movie of 2026, giving fans another chance to see her back on the network. But before we hit play, there’s one question we can’t shake after this year’s Christmas in July lineup: is this a true Hallmark original… or are we about to unwrap yet another acquisition dressed up with a Hallmark bow?

Based on the novel Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor, the story follows Maggie, who escapes to a small Washington town after being left at the altar, where she meets Mark, his silent young niece Holly, and a family still learning how to live after heartbreaking loss.

Christmas Under Construction
Christmas in July is officially back, and Hallmark is kicking off the festivities with Christmas Under Construction, starring Jessica Lowndes and Daniel Lissing. Now... if you found yourself experiencing a tiny case of déjà vu while watching this one, just know you're probably not imagining things. We'll get into all of that later, but first we're diving into the movie itself: a reality home renovation show, a live Christmas special, a relationship that's in much worse shape than the cabin they're remodeling, and Daniel Lissing showing up to remind everyone why Hallmark fans are always happy to see him. Did Hallmark build a solid start to Christmas in July, or is this project already in need of a renovation?

The Way Home Season 4 Listener Mailbag - Series Finale
As we wrap up the series finale of The Way Home - while still holding onto hope that this incredible story finds a new home - we couldn't imagine closing this chapter without one final Listener Mailbag. From the very beginning, you've brought thoughtful theories, brilliant observations, emotional reactions, and the kind of eagle-eyed catches that constantly made us look at the show in a whole new way. We're diving into your reactions to the finale, revisiting a few lingering questions, sharing your favorite theories, and reflecting on the legacy of a series that brought together one of the smartest, kindest fan communities we've ever been part of. Whether you left the finale feeling satisfied, heartbroken, or somewhere in between, we're so grateful we got to experience this journey alongside all of you.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-listener-mailbag-series-finale/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

What starts as a missing dress quickly turns into a lighthearted mystery filled with fashion, gala drama, vintage treasures, and plenty of flirting.

The Way Home Season 4, Episode 10 "Ahead by a Century"
The Way Home Season 4 Episode 10, "Ahead By a Century," had the impossible task of wrapping up four seasons of time travel, family mysteries, and enough emotional baggage to fill the Lingermore tunnels - and somehow it mostly pulled it off. Along the way, the finale reminded us what's most important, giving several characters one last chance to say the things they needed to say and spend a few more precious minutes with the people they love. This week, we're unpacking the long-awaited answers, the handful of mysteries that still have us scratching our heads, and the questions that remain even after the final credits rolled. From Elliot's fate and Fern's heartbreaking final chapter to Alice's future, Jacob's journey, and a finale packed with callbacks to the people who shaped the Landry family story, there's a lot to discuss.

The Way Home S4E9 "Auld Lang Syne"
The Way Home has never exactly been gentle with our emotions, but this episode feels like the show looked us directly in the eye and said, "Good luck making it through the next week." As the penultimate episode of The Way Home Season 4 Episode 9, "Auld Lang Syne" starts connecting threads we've been pulling on all season long while raising the stakes for nearly every character we love. This week, we're diving into long-awaited answers, heartbreaking revelations about Tessa, relationships pushed to their limits, and a New Year's Eve that changes everything. Plus, we have a lot to say about one mystery reveal that landed a little differently than we expected - and an ending that left us desperately clinging to the belief that Hallmark still believes in happy endings.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-season-4-episode-9/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

The Way Home Season 4 Listener Mailbag #8
This week on The Way Home Listener Mailbag 8, you came ready with theories, clarifications, and just enough clown makeup to keep us all guessing. We discuss why Evie was really upset in 1980, whether Alice is destined to reveal the truth to older Evelyn someday, and who may have edited the film reel. Listeners weigh in on Tessa's motives, postpartum depression theories, and baby Elliot's mysterious journey. We also debate Elliot's increasingly questionable decision-making, speculate about Cliff and Fern's love story, revisit Sam's role in the larger mythology, and ask whether Season 4 is trying to squeeze two seasons' worth of story into ten episodes. Plus, we tackle the Jacob and Abby storyline, the possibility of everyone ending up in 1925, and one very important question: would you rather have a messy ending or no ending at all?Find full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-listener-mailbag-8/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

Introducing: Last to the Party
Every once in a while we feel compelled to talk about things other than Hallmark. And thus, Last to the Party was born. Last summer we took it all of the way back to the beginning and recapped Summer House Season 1. This summer we're talking about the first episode of the currently airing show In the City. If you're a Bravo fan, we hope you'll give this episode a listen and consider subscribing to Last to the Party.

We’re diving into the shocking Amanda/Kyle/West fallout, Lindsay Hubbard quietly steering the entire show like a veteran reality producer, Danielle somehow moving faster than the very relationships she used to critique, and why little Gemma is already delivering top-tier reaction shots.

The Count of Monte Cristo - Episode 8 (PBS)
In The Count of Monte Cristoepisode 8 finale, Edmond Dantes’ long-planned revenge finally reaches its devastating conclusion - and turns out, revenge really does come with a body count, emotional damage, and a whole lot of collateral fallout. As secrets are exposed, empires crumble, and old wounds reopen, the series forces Edmond to confront the true cost of the life he’s spent years building toward. We’re breaking down the surprisingly emotional ending, the downfall of Danglars and Villefort, the moment Edmond may have finally gone too far, and why this PBS adaptation somehow managed to end like a dark, emotionally wrecked Hallmark movie.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-count-of-monte-cristo-episode-8/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

All's Fair in Love and Mahjong
All's Fair in Love and Mahjong turned out to be one of the most talked-about Hallmark movies of the spring for more reasons than one. Fiona Gubelmann stars as Ronnie, a school nurse and devoted mom white-knuckling her way through an empty nest, a house she might lose, and a job that's slipping away, who finds an unexpected new path through teaching the game she loves. Paul Campbell plays Ben, a contractor who shows up to fix her house and ends up doing a little more than that. Rounding out the ensemble is a friend group so good (Melissa Peterman, Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe, and Tamera Mowry-Housley) that Megan immediately booked a mahjong lesson and Wendy compared the whole thing to Sex and the City.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/alls-fair-in-love-mahjong/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

The Way Home S4E4
The Way Home Season 4 Episode 4, “We’ve Got Tonight,” finds the mystery in Port Haven getting even more tangled as Kat fully leans into detective mode while simultaneously deciding that maybe The Herald no longer has a place in the town she’s trying so hard to understand. In the 1970s, Alice continues piecing together the past, learning surprising things about Del and coming face-to-face with an increasingly suspicious Tessa. Meanwhile, Jacob remains isolated in Toronto, clearly haunted by more than just memories, and Nick’s return to Port Haven comes with a whole lot of questions, meddling, and involvement in pond business that honestly feels a little too aggressive for our liking.For full episode shownotes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-season-4-episode-4/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

But as identities are revealed and emotions take over, the revenge starts to feel far messier - and far more personal - than before.

Hope Valley: 1874 - Episode 7 (Hallmark +)
Hope Valley: 1874 Season 1 Episode 7, “Desperado,” brings a little more action to the frontier this week, with a hostage situation that forces Rebecca and Tom to work together under pressure - while still revealing more about who they are at their core. As a young fugitive lands in their orbit, the episode leans into questions of justice, survival, and who deserves the benefit of the doubt, all while continuing to build out the relationships in town. Between Hattie offering heartfelt support to Rachel, Olivia and Alexander circling each other (again), and a very suspicious new boarder raising more than a few red flags, there’s a lot to unpack - even if we’re starting to wonder if the show is checking off a few classic TV boxes along the way.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hope-valley-1874-season-1-episode-7-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

Kentucky Roses
Hold onto your hats, because Kentucky Roses is bringing major Hallmark charm straight from the heart of the Churchill Downs and into our living rooms. Premiering just in time for the Kentucky Derby buzz, this new Hallmark original stars Andrew Walker in a story that feels equal parts sweeping romance and behind-the-scenes Derby magic. Kentucky Roses follows a chance pairing between a greenhouse worker and the son of Churchill Downs’ CEO, as they race to preserve the Kentucky tradition - while uncovering a generational love story that might just steal the spotlight. If you’re here for Derby glamour, heartfelt storytelling, and a little bit of that signature Hallmark sparkle, this one is already off to the races.

We asked for your thoughts on The Way Home and WOW did you deliver - from deeply thought-out generational timelines to “what if this person is secretly that person’s grandchild from the future?” energy. We’ve got Elliott defenders, Alice truthers, Griffin truth-seekers, and at least three different takes on who “the one” is…and we love every single chaotic second of it.

May Hallmark Movies First Impressions
May starts off strong with Andrew Walker ushering in a Derby Day romance — florals, family legacy, and that easy charm we know exactly what to do with. Then things take a turn into unexpected territory with the mahjong movie…yes, that one…already stirring up conversation far beyond the usual Hallmark bubble. And just when you think you’ve cracked the code on May’s vibe, Hallmark pivots hard into mysteries — not one, not two, but three — including the long-awaited return of a Nikki DeLoach project (and no, it’s not Curious Caterer). Cozy? Absolutely. Predictable? Not even a little. Chaotic?

The Forsytes Episode 6 (PBS)
In The Forsytes Episode 6, the Season 1 finale of this PBS Masterpiece drama, everything comes to a head - just not in the tidy, bow-wrapped way our Hallmark-loving hearts might expect. As loyalties fracture and long-simmering tensions finally boil over, Irene finds herself increasingly trapped in a marriage that’s lost all illusion of romance, while Soames tightens his grip in ways that feel more controlling than loving. Meanwhile, Jolyon makes a life-altering decision to walk away from status and security in favor of something far more uncertain, and Frances pivots with calculated precision as her world shifts beneath her. It’s a finale that leans fully into its soapy roots — setting the stage for even bigger fallout in what we’re hoping is Season 2.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-forsytes-episode-6-pbs/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

As Rebecca is finally forced to slow down and face her grief, we see meaningful movement in her relationship with Sarah – and a deeper understanding of why she’s been running at full speed since arriving in Hope Valley. At the same time, tensions over land and livelihood come to a head, putting Tom and Doyle on a collision course and pushing Alexander into a decision that’s anything but simple. It’s an episode that balances heart, conflict, and a few very memorable moments (yes, we’re still thinking about that couch), and it’s giving us plenty to unpack.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hope-valley-1874-season-1-episode-6-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

Meanwhile, Alice revisits a familiar time that feels anything but simple, and Del steps in to support Elliot as he processes everything he’s just learned. With parallel timelines, emotional undercurrents, and just enough intrigue to keep us guessing, this episode proves the story is only getting more complex from here.Find full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-season-4-episode-2/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

Weekend Rewind - A Picture of Her (2023)
We are rewinding back to one of our favorite Tyler Hynes Hallmark movies, and honestly? It holds up. Megan and Wendy are revisiting A Picture of Her, the Hallmark Channel spring romance starring Tyler Hynes and Rhiannon Fish, and there is a lot to unpack. In this episode, we get into what we loved (those kissing scenes, the chemistry, the surprisingly healthy ending), what we wished had gone differently (the viral photo storyline, we have THOUGHTS), and of course our favorite segment, Did You See That?, where we catch all the little moments you may have missed the first time around. Spoiler: the chemistry between Tyler Hynes and Rhiannon Fish is genuinely off the charts. We may have speculated a little about why that is. We also talk about Samantha Ferris as Aunt Doty, the very convenient fact that Jake owns literally nothing in Los Angeles, and whether anyone in this movie has ever actually been to LA. Plus, we flashback to the original airing and share the behind-the-scenes details on the Girls Gone Hallmark King of Hallmark bracket that was running at the time. It was wild. We were not prepared.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/a-picture-of-her-hallmark-movie-review/ 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

The Forsytes S1E5 (PBS)
In The Forsytes Episode 5, the drama leans fully into its soapy side - and honestly, we’re here for it. As Irene tires to settle into life in London, the cracks in her marriage to Soames become harder to ignore, especially when his version of love starts to look a lot like control. Meanwhile, Jolyon tries to do right by Louisa and their children, setting off a chain reaction. With reputations on the line, loyalties shifting, and more than a few well-placed cutting remarks, this episode proves that beneath all the polished manners, the Forsytes are just as messy as any modern-day drama.For full episode shownotes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-forsytes-episode-5-pbs/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

The Count of Monte Cristo - Episode 5 (PBS)
In The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 5, Edmond Dantès isn’t just plotting revenge - he’s actively playing the game, and somehow he knows exactly where to strike. But with so much happening (and Dantès seemingly five steps ahead at all times), we couldn’t help but ask…how is he getting all of this information?? We’re diving into the strategy, the chaos, and the growing sense that this revenge plan might be more calculated - and more dangerous - than we expected.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-count-of-monte-cristo-episode-5-pbs/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

Hope Valley: 1874 - Episode 5 (Hallmark+)
Hope Valley: 1874 Season 1 Episode 5, “Finally Home” brings some drama this week, with a full search effort in the woods that finally pushes Rebecca to open up about her past - and gives us the clearest picture yet of why she fled Chicago. As tensions rise, Tom continues to soften in ways that actually feel earned. Back in town, Hattie’s new safe situation adds a little chaos (and a few relatable parenting moments), Olivia continues exploring her creative side, and we’re left sorting through what worked, what didn’t, and what we still have questions about.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hope-valley-1874-season-1-episode-5-hallmarkVisit 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

To Philly, With Love
We’re heading to Philadelphia for To Philly with Love, a history-meets-romance story centered around Revolutionary War letters, hidden clues, and a mission to save a legacy. Emily, a burned-out teacher and history lover, teams up with archivist Nate to uncover a centuries-old love story - but along the way, we’re asking: did this movie sweep us up in the romance, or leave us stuck in a lecture? We’re breaking it all down with our honest takes, a few laughs, and plenty to say about where this one worked… and where it didn’t quite capture that Hallmark magic.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/to-philly-with-love-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

Weekend Rewind: Wedding Every Weekend (2020)
It's wedding season! To celebrate, Megan and Wendy review "Wedding Every Weekend" starring Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad as part of a throwback movie review series. Right off the bat Wendy declares herself a "Campbell/Sustad Stan." Fun fact: this was filmed in the summer of 2020 and apparently mannequins were used in the background as well as stand-ins so to abide by local social distancing requirements.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/wedding-every-weekend-hallmark-movie-review/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

The Forsytes, S1E4 (PBS)
In The Forsytes Episode 4, the tension between love and security comes into sharp focus - and no one gets to have both. June boldly follows her heart (and shocks the entire family), while Jolyon finds himself reckoning with the kind of choice he once avoided. Meanwhile, in Paris, Soames and Irene’s whirlwind romance starts to reveal cracks as passion edges into something more controlling, and Irene’s desire for freedom doesn’t quite fit the life being built around her. It’s a turning-point episode full of quiet realizations, shifting power dynamics, and just enough unsettling romance to keep us leaning in.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-forsytes-episode-4-pbs/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

The Count of Monte Cristo, Episode 4 (PBS)
In The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 4, things take a darker, more unsettling turn as Edmond Dantès moves beyond planning and starts executing a very calculated - and honestly chilling - strategy. As he embeds himself into the lives of those who wronged him, new secrets begin to surface, alliances deepen, and the line between justice and something far more sinister starts to blur. This episode had us asking a lot of questions - about what Dantès knows, how he knows it, and whether we should be a little concerned about just how far he’s willing to go.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-count-of-monte-cristo-episode-4-pbs/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

A Little Park Music
Did somebody say magic piano in a gazebo? Not a flyer, not a permit, not a single person claiming responsibility. Just: piano. For city manager Allie, this is a problem. A charming, impossible, music-filled problem. A Little Park Music pairs Allie with Ryan, a rookie cop who's been tasked with helping her figure out what to do about the mystery instrument. Naturally, neither of them is prepared for what happens next. The piano stays. The music plays. Love, as it turns out, is just as hard to move as an upright in a gazebo. This one is part of Hallmark's Spring Into Love 2026 lineup and premieres on Saturday, April 11 at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel. It will be available to stream on Hallmark+ the following day.

The Forsytes S1E3 (PBS)
In The Forsytes Episode 3, loyalties fracture and quiet scandals turn into very public stakes. As Jolyon Jr.’s past with Louisa threatens his future at Forsyte & Co., the family closes ranks in ways that feel less like protection and more like strategy. Meanwhile, Soames makes a sweeping commitment to Irene, June begins carving out her own path beyond the expectations of her name, and Frances tightens her grip as everything she’s built starts to wobble. It’s a turning point episode where love, reputation, and power collide - and where the Forsytes prove that what’s left unsaid can be just as explosive as what’s revealed.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-forsytes-episode-3-pbs/Fill out the GGH Listener Survey!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
