Christmas in the Car

This week’s Hallmark double feature is all about identity crises: one man forgets who he loves, and one woman wakes up as someone else entirely. Will, meanwhile, still knows exactly who he is: Scrooge.

First up, Forgotten Holiday. Janel Parrish panics and flees when Daniel Lissing proposes, and a car crash wipes out his memory of their entire relationship. Then Lori Loughlin and Tom Cavanagh star in What If Christmas, where a magical ornament sends Lori into an alternate life as a famous fashion designer. We just have a lot of questions about the fashions.

Some light roasting, our infamous steam-o-meter, and real talk from an industry perspective.

We’re kicking off the 2026 season with a double feature about parents’ love lives, and the kids are not okay. Neither is Will, our resident Scrooge, but let's see if we can win him over. 

First up, Great American Family's A Second Chance Christmas, where Candace Cameron Bure and Jonathan Scarfe play exes snowed in at their family cabin. Then we head to Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas opener ’Tis the Season for Setups where a party planner single mom clashes with an (oddly tall) snowboarder, then teams up with him to set up their parents (shout out, Barbara Niven!)

Plus: rankings, red flags, and real talk from an industry perspective.
