Girls Gone Hallmark | Hallmark Movie Reviews

Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story kicked off a new era of football-themed Christmas movies for Hallmark Channel when it premiered in 2024. Starring Hunter King and Tyler Hynes, the movie was the first collaboration between Hallmark and the NFL and brought together holiday romance, Kansas City Chiefs fandom, and plenty of familiar faces from Chiefs Kingdom. Set in Kansas City and centered around one family’s bid to become the team’s “Fan of the Year,” Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story launched what has since become an annual Hallmark football tradition, with the Buffalo Bills getting their turn in 2025 and the Chicago Bears joining the lineup in 2026.

We have never done this episode before, which is a little hard to believe after all these years. So here it is: our five favorite Hallmark movies of 2026, picked separately, compared on the podcast, and argued about a bit. Every Hallmark movie that aired in 2026 was eligible except the Countdown to Christmas lineup, which has its own conversation coming in January. There's overlap on our lists, there's one shared honorable mention, and at the bottom there's a surprise about which episode you all actually listened to most this year.

The Spirit of Halloween closes out Fall into Love and we both gave it 4.75 stars, which almost never happens. Megan hates costumes and loved it anyway. Wendy's fall fatigue is cured. Everly Stone gets three ghosts; we get a real Halloween movie.

 

We talk Jeff Beesley's gift for ensembles, Nicole Baxter's writing, and Lachlan Quormby stealing the whole movie as a six-foot-four Ghost of Halloween Future. Plus: visible cold breath in a Halloween movie, empty prop coffee cups, the third sexy measuring scene of the year, and whether Everly is actually a Scrooge at all.

Haul Out the Halloween (Encore)

Five stars. No notes. Not a single wish between us, which almost never happens around here.

 Halloween-obsessed new neighbors move onto Evergreen Lane and inspire the whole street to become EverSCREAM Lane. Lacey Chabert and Wes Brown are back as Emily and Jared, Maclain Nelson writes and directs again, and Kimberly J. Brown and Daniel Kountz turn up as the new arrivals.

This is our final fall favorite encore as we head into the last weekend of Fall Into Love on Hallmark Channel. The review was originally published in October 2025. We get into the five-minute wedding that opens the movie and the one throwaway line in it that wrecked us, why Melissa Peterman and Stephen Tobolowsky together are comedy gold, the Nickelback runner, and the pop culture references that are going to land for a very specific audience. Wendy also spotted a Howard Stern Show alum in the cast, which took some explaining.

3 Bed 2 Bath 1 Ghost (Encore)

A 1920s ghost refuses to leave the house real estate agent Anna has just listed, and she’s convinced she can’t pass over until she gets Anna back together with her ex. We both came in expecting ghostly hijinks. What we got was one of the best Hallmark movies of the year.

This encore review was originally recorded in 2023, back when our format was a little different and our ratings were, in Megan’s words, pure vibes. We’re re-airing our favorite fall movies as we count down to Halloween.

Julie Gonzalo stars as Anna opposite her real-life partner Chris McNally as Elliot, and Madeline Arthur turns up as Ruby and walks away with the entire movie. We get into why the friendship between Anna and Ruby is the real love story here, the ghost rules this ghost cheerfully ignores, the two male characters we’d cut entirely, and the backstory questions we still want answered three years later.

 Megan gave it 4.25 stars. Wendy gave it 4. Neither of us can explain the math. Got thoughts on this one?
