Girls Gone Hallmark | Hallmark Movie Reviews

A Christmas movie set in a bowling alley. We have been waiting for Hallmark to try this! Hallmark's Winter Wonderlanes brings a little nostalgia, second-chance romance, and family tradition to the 2026 Countdown to Christmas lineup. Starring Ashley Newbrough and Franco Lo Presti, this holiday movie follows a businesswoman who returns home to discover her late grandfather's beloved bowling alley is being sold. As she works to revive a cherished Christmas bowling tournament alongside her high school sweetheart, she's faced with questions about family legacy, preserving traditions, and what it really means to come home.

Mr. Fix It spent the entire movie being Mr. Mess It Up. We review Mr. & Mrs. Christmas: why Sophie is the best character of opening weekend, why a Christmas movie about a budget is a choice, and why Megan is thrilled about the mistletoe. Ratings: 2.75 and 3.5.

Marsha Mason, Malört shots, and the best hair we’ve ever seen in a Hallmark movie. We review Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story and land in different places on whether the story underneath holds up.

Hallmark’s third NFL Christmas movie came out swinging on opening weekend, and we have a lot to say about it. Lyndsy Fonseca and Robert Buckley are a terrific pairing with comedy built in rather than bolted on. Marsha Mason is the heart of the whole thing. And Megan would like someone to tell her where to buy those green glasses.

But we both wanted more comedy than this script was willing to give Robert Buckley, and Wendy makes the case that if you strip away the Bears, the Chicago of it all and the football traditions, what’s left is a very familiar Hallmark shape. Megan doesn’t mind the formula when the extra layers earn their keep. We do not resolve this.

Plus: an Italian beef that was far too dry, a thermostat reading 75 degrees in a Chicago winter, the Always product placement that refused to be discreet, and the movie marquee Easter egg that Mackie has now caught twice in three films.

We also hear from Tamera Mowry-Housley about how her cameo happened, from Shannon in Australia about the jumbotron tribute, and from Kea, a Chicagoan who settles the Malört question, confirms cornhole is real, and has strong feelings about a boat tour on a frozen river.

Ratings, the franchise scoreboard, and which NFL team we want next.

Listen to our review. We kick off Countdown to Christmas 2026 with ’Tis the Season for Setups and end up talking about parenting regrets, the forehead kiss that almost happened, and the most pointless secret relationship of the season. Plus, one of us wants a “Queen of No Fun” t-shirt, and we argue about whether a Christmas escape room even counts.
