***SPOILERS AHEAD*** There’s an old saying: “Never kiss a man in a Christmas sweater.” Okay, maybe it’s not an old saying, or a saying at all, but Maggie (Ashley Williams) sure seems to think it is! She’s a schoolteacher on a snowy military base who “accidentally” beats a Christmas-sweater-wearing architect named Lucas (Niall Matter) nearly to death with the business end of a Douglas fir. Now Lucas is out of commission and Maggie is feeling guilty. Luckily, there’s only one way to rebalance the universe when you’ve broken a stranger’s ankle: Lock him up in your guest hose and force-feed him gingerbread Frank Lloyd Wrights until he falls in love with you!

Introducing: A Podcast For Christmas
It’s that time of year again! And what better way to close out one of the most surreal years in human memory than with a deep dive down some of the most wholesome rabbit holes basic cable has to offer? Join hosts Angela Harmon and Mike Fisher as they traverse the glittering, peppermint-scented landscape of late-capitalist Americana that is the Hallmark Christmas movie. Every week, we sample another of Hallmark Channel’s maddeningly approachable wares and weigh it on our very scientific scale to see just how snowy, small-towny, and downright Christmassy it is. So hop into your elfin jam-jams, pour yourself a cup of hot cocoa, pop a few Lexapro, and let’s jingle!
