Show Notes
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?

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.
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.

Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story brought Hallmark Channel and the NFL back together for a second football-themed Christmas romance in 2025. Following the success of 2024’s Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, the second movie in the Hallmark and NFL partnership headed to Buffalo Bills country, starring Holland Roden and Matthew Daddario as longtime neighbors Morgan and Gabe. Set against the traditions and passionate fandom of Bills Mafia, the story follows the pair as they search for the mysterious Christmas benefactor who once helped Morgan’s family - and discover that their own relationship may be turning into something more.
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.
