In this week’s episode, we savor the festive flavors of Hallmark’s latest entries in the holiday movie canon. We start with a results recap from last week—She’s Making a List and Single on the 25th—where we compare what we predicted based solely on the titles to what actually unfolded on screen. Were we holiday-prophets? Were we misled by the promise of yuletide puns? Or did the movies deliver classic Hallmark charm exactly where we expected it?

After crunching the numbers and awarding this week’s bragging rights, we look ahead to two brand-new titles: A Suite Holiday Romance and Oy to the World!. With no trailers, synopses, or clues—just the names—we construct our best guesses about the plots, the character journeys, the romantic beats, and the inevitable holiday life lessons. Whether it’s a meet-cute in a hotel lobby or a multicultural holiday mash-up filled with comedy and heart, we break it down, build it up, and score the predictability at every turn. Expect spirited conversation, a dash of skepticism, generous helpings of cozy holiday cheer, and plenty of laughter as we continue our mission to predict Hallmark movies with absurd confidence. If you love Hallmark, love to lovingly tease Hallmark, or just enjoy listening to people confidently guess things they can’t possibly know, this episode is a gift wrapped in twinkle lights.

Rate, review, and subscribe — or you might end up caught between a Suite Holiday Romance meet-cute and an Oy to the World! meltdown, forced to resolve emotional baggage in a festively decorated lobby while a precocious child insists you believe in miracles.

Welcome back to another tinsel-covered episode of our Hallmark holiday deep dive, where we take festive movie titles far too seriously and use our Predictability Scorecard like it’s a scientifically validated diagnostic tool. (Maybe one day.)

We kick things off by revisiting last week’s trifecta of holiday cheer: We Met in December, The Snow Must Go On, and An Alpine Holiday. Did our predictions melt under the pressure, or did we snowball a perfect score? We break down the meet-cutes, the misunderstandings, the mountains, and the mandatory small-town charm to see just how accurate our festive forecasting really was. Spoiler: someone’s prediction ego might grow three sizes this episode.

Then we shift our gaze to the upcoming week’s Hallmark gems: She’s Making a List and Single on the 25th. One sounds like a woman with a spreadsheet and a dream; the other sounds like the world’s most specific relationship status update. Naturally, we dissect both titles with extreme confidence and absolutely no inside information. What kind of list is she making? Who’s single on the 25th? And more importantly, will any of this stop us from wildly guessing the plot? Absolutely not.

So grab your cocoa, your candy canes, and your willingness to suspend disbelief. It's time to analyze, predict, revisit, and mildly roast Hallmark’s latest seasonal offerings—because if we don’t, who will?

Rate, review, and subscribe—or you might wake up on the 25th single, with a list of life lessons longer than your Christmas shopping list.

Hallmark has unleashed a blizzard of movies, and frankly, even we have limits — so in this episode, we’re changing things up to survive the holiday onslaught. And yes, we know this episode is dropping later than planned — consider it fashionably late, Hallmark-style. First, we review our Predictability Scorecard results for last week’s premieres: Hallmark’s Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story and Melt My Heart This Christmas. Did we accurately forecast the football-themed romance and heartwarming seasonal defrosting, or did Hallmark actually surprise us for once?

Then, with too many new movies and not nearly enough hours in the week, we take a streamlined dive into predicting this festive trio amid the holiday movie deluge: Hallmark’s We Met in December, The Snow Must Go On, and An Alpine Holiday. Expect bold guesses, trope-based logic, and our eternal confidence that we absolutely know what’s going to happen… even when we absolutely don’t. Holiday overload has never sounded so cozy.

Rate, review, and subscribe — or risk getting stuck in a small-town production where the snow must go on… and you’re the only one who can save both the show and the handsome lead’s Christmas spirit.
