Chef Claire is making very fancy food — we're talking liquid nitrogen levels of fancy. But it's too fancy. The reviews are awful, and her manager encourages her to sell ASAP. There's no saving this sucker. Reporters love a downfall story, so they're outside her apartment. She mistakes one of the reporters for her rideshare driver.With her flight canceled, she asks him to drive her to Missouri — a 7-hour trip. Looking for the scoop, he says yes and doesn't tell her who he really is. His name is Jack, and they actually kind of hit it off. She even moves to the passenger seat.They arrive in Versailles, Missouri. Jack is stunned to find out it's an Amish town! Her mom? Amish. Her sister-in-law? Amish. The queen of modern molecular gastronomy… is Amish!Jack even saves her mom from an oncoming truck. Hero moment unlocked.This whole time, she thought his name was Chad — her “driver.” He corrects her: he's Jack, and he finally comes clean. Claire is not thrilled, but since he saved her mom's life, he gets to stay with the family.Her family doesn't know what kind of food she really cooks… or about the bad reviews. Jack agrees to keep that quiet.Since he didn't plan on this trip, he has no spare clothes. So naturally, he ends up rocking Amish garb.Jack volunteers to help a guy named Eli, who absolutely hates him. Who does Eli not hate? Claire. He's very into her.When Jack tastes her family's apple butter and pie crust, he's like, “Why aren't you serving this?!” She insists the outside world doesn't want this kind of food.She opens up about her journey, and Jack seems genuinely interested — though that might just be because he's churning butter and can't escape. His back starts hurting, so she gives him an old Amish back rub, and the sparks definitely fly.Jack keeps helping around the farm and loving all the food. He tells her that incorporating her family's cooking could really bring her restaurant to life. Sparks continue… until she finds his initial story draft, which basically calls her a fraud. The family tells him to get lost first thing in the morning.Here's something important about Claire: she's terrified of riding in a horse and buggy because of a past accident. So she's walking to Christmas dinner when she finds her pregnant friend on the path — her water has broken. Claire has to conquer her fear, take the buggy, and get her to the hospital.On Jack's way out of town, he sees Claire walking into the hospital. He offers to help, and she tells him to go pick up the woman's husband — which he does. When he gets back, he tells her he was never going to turn in that hurtful article. He has a new story ready and wants her to read it before he submits it.He brings her back to the farm and gives the whole family a copy of the new article. They all forgive him, and he and Claire kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

The pandemic introduced many to living with uncertainty. But for some, uncertainty has always been their norm. Actress Nikki Deloach has starred in several Hallmark Christmas movies, but her life hasn’t matched the happily-ever-after plot-lines of her characters. Nikki’s dad was diagnosed with an aggressive form of dementia and her son was diagnosed with congenital heart defects in utero… all in the same week. In this conversation, Kate and Nikki discuss how to live with constant uncertainty, how to stay open to both the terror and the beauty of living close to the edge, and how to make Christmas meaningful when hope is hard to come by. Subscribe to Kate’s Substack for blessings, essays, and reflections that hold what’s hard and beautiful. Join us for Advent over there, too! This episode originally aired December 2020.

Exclusive 10% off entire order -  www.kringles.com  // Promo Code:  HALLMARK25---The amazing Dave White joins us to break down this year's animal-themed Hallmark Christmas movie: Christmas at the Catnip Café.ABOUT CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉOlivia Pierce, a marketing executive, discovers her late great aunt's cat café in New York, which she believes will be a Christmas miracle. As she helps plan fundraising events, Olivia gains a deeper appreciation for the feline inhabitants and the special place her great aunt created.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉNovember 30, 2025 | Hallmark Movies & MysteriesCAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉPaul Campbell as BenErin Cahill as OliviaBRAN'S CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉ SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off with a TON of kittens. Suddenly, we flash back 30 years: a young Olivia is walking into her house when she hears something… could it be a cat? And that's it for the flashback—obviously, a necessary flashback.Cut to the present day. Olivia is checking out a place way out of her price range when she gets a text from a lawyer: they need to talk about her aunt's estate. She's been given half of a cat cafe. Olivia's wheels start turning—if she can convince the other owner, Ben, to sell the cafe, maybe she can afford that dream place!But Ben is no ordinary owner. He's an overly generous vet, giving pet care away for free and taking on way too many patients. The good news for Olivia: Ben never says no.She walks into the cafe, plays peekaboo with a cat, and dives straight into business with Ben. She wants him to sell. He's not having it—the cafe is very important to him and also acts as a place to get cats adopted.It turns out Ben lives right down the block from Olivia's aunt's house. He's searching for a binder about Catnip Christmas that's gone missing and is surprised to find Olivia there. She finds the binder, and he explains that Catnip Christmas was his aunt's pride and joy. He's not sure how he can manage it all on his own. Olivia offers to help—but only if he agrees not to delay the sale of the cafe.Ben says he doesn't want to sell. Olivia reminds him he can't stop the sale, only slow it down. She says she'll be all in on the project as long as he agrees to sell. He reluctantly agrees, thinking she won't actually want to move forward with the sale.Olivia quickly realizes she's in for a lot more than she expected: cat puppet shows, story time, and all sorts of festive events. Along the way, Olivia and Ben start getting closer. He even helps decorate her Christmas tree.Through a flashback, we learn that little Olivia once found a kitten outside her aunt's house. Could this cat cafe all stem from that moment?As they spend more time together, Ben opens up about feeling like life's big moments happen for everyone else—babies, milestones—and that he wants something for himself before it's too late. The sparks begin to fly, and while decorating the cafe for an event, Olivia and Ben share a big, sweet kiss.Complications arise when Olivia admits she still plans to sell—the life she has in California can't be ignored. She tells Ben it's hard because she really likes him. He reminds her that they made a deal, so he'll move forward with the sale.On her way out of town, Olivia stops at a mechanic and sees a kitten. The mechanic tells her he adopted it from this cat cafe. Olivia takes it as a sign and rushes back to the cafe—only to find the contract has already been signed with a developer. But the developer is holding a cat, so Olivia asks nicely… and he rips up the contract.Olivia is staying, and the movie ends with her and Ben celebrating—and kissing again.

We discuss our final rerankings of movies, reflect on the films we watched for the year of 2025, and decide who belongs in the 3rd annual P.O.S. bracket. But first, we must discuss the absolute-not-cinema of, Coyote Creek Christmas.Music by these extremely talented artists:"Snow Swing" - Glenn Gatsby"Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" - Betty Booom & Captain Matt​   @ElectroSwingThingCheck them out at:https://electroswingthing.com Thanks for tuning in.

They talk Larry Summers slinking off “from public life,” the national security state's role in hiding the full story, and why this scandal is really about a ruling class that treats organized crime like a business model. From there, they break down a new Democratic video urging the military and intel community to refuse illegal orders, Trump's response calling it “seditious” and punishable by death, and what that says about a cornered fascist who openly envies the power of Mohammed bin Salman. Then it is on to Nvidia, Peter Thiel dumping stock, the AI bubble sitting under the entire economy, and the familiar feeling of a roaring market heading toward a crash. They close with some cultural brain bleach, from the new Running Man to Hallmark Christmas movies and Robert Johnson on repeat. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Have you ever wondered what “Fight Club” would be like as a Hallmark Christmas movie? So did we for about two acts of "A Very Merry Ex-Mas." But what this film lacks in Tyler Durden it more than makes up for in Chet. In fact, whenever Chet isn't on screen all the other characters should be saying “Where's Chet?” So come for a family's one last Christmas together amid narratively-mandated secrets. But stay to see if the movie ends with Chet and Helena Bonham Carter holding hands as they watch the literal collapse of the capitalism debt structure.

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by "A Tyler Shaw Christmas". Listen to this amazing Christmas album HERE. ---Brian returns to review the second Hallmark Christmas movie of the week: Tidings for the Season.ABOUT TIDINGS FOR THE SEASONA serious TV newscaster's life changes when he meets his young superfan and the boy's hardworking single mom. As he embraces positive holiday stories, romance blooms — but a career opportunity forces him to choose between ambition and love.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR TIDINGS FOR THE SEASONNovember 16 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF TIDINGS FOR THE SEASONTamera Mowry-Housley as LucyB.J. Britt as Adam KadeElijah-Justus Lewis as RobbieBRAN'S TIDINGS FOR THE SEASON SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off with Lucy and her son Robbie watching the news—well, really Robbie is watching because he wants to be a news anchor when he grows up. Lucy, on the other hand, hates the news, specifically news anchor Adam Kade.Lucky for Robbie, he's going on a field trip to the station. He ditches his group to sit next to Adam and do some “bits.” Adam is confused, but the rest of the news crew loves it. Robbie even tells Adam he needs to work on smiling and sharing good news, and encourages him to try to get viewers to come around more.Luckily, Robbie leaves his folder at the station with his address on it. Adam goes to return it—and ends up asking if Robbie wants to shadow him at the station for a week. He's unsure at first, but he ends up taking a liking to Robbie—and a different kind of liking to Lucy.At the end of the week, Adam talks to Lucy about what it would take for her to start watching the news. She says they need more good news—and that he needs to wear more color. Since he thinks she's hot, Adam takes her advice to heart. He shops for a red jacket, bumps into Lucy and Robbie, and agrees to help with the Angel Wish Toy Drive funded by Thrivent Financial. He decides to do a story on it, thinking it's the uplifting kind Lucy wants—but his producer says no, it's too happy.Adam pushes back and goes with the story anyway, angering his boss. He takes some time off, which he spends with Lucy and Robbie. They go pick out a Christmas tree, decorate it, and sparks fly.Soon, Adam gets a call from his boss: his happy story is crushing it online. They want more. So Adam starts reporting only happy stories—like one about a retired art teacher decorating trees in the woods to win back his long-lost love.Feeling good about himself and his job, Adam asks Lucy out. Their date ends with a kiss—but is cut short when he gets a call about a Chicago interview tomorrow. Lucy overhears and is upset. Has this all been about his promotion? She's sad for herself but mad for Robbie.On the night of Robbie's school Christmas concert, just as it's ending, Adam comes running in and says, “ONE MORE THING!” He lets Robbie interview him, and it ends with Robbie asking what's next for Adam's career. He says he's staying put. Lucy comes up, and they kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

SYNOPSISWe're watching WKJU Channel 7 News and, most importantly, it's the weather with Ted! He clearly has some tension with news anchor Ken, who brings up Ted's string of bad luck at Christmastime. Ted insists there's nothing to it — he's not gonna let it bring him down. Ted LOVES Christmas!He gets a job offer from a bigger network in the state, but he's not sure if he's going to take it. He likes it at WKJU, even though everyone there is placing bets on what bad thing is going to happen to him this year. Ted says, “NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN!”The next day, he heads home for the holidays…but his car won't start. Again, could happen to anyone! So he hops on the bus, where he's greeted by his sister Kate. When they get to Kate's house, he discovers there's been a bag switch-em-up. Naturally, the next day he's rocking a tiny sweater — it's all he's got. That doesn't stop him from climbing the ladder to put up Christmas lights on the house… until he promptly falls off and takes a box of lights to the head.Off to the ER he goes, where he's checked out by Dr. Hope Miller — and they clearly have a past. Everyone reminds him that he had quite the crush on her back in high school. He also bumps into Miss Mittons, his old teacher. After getting cleared, he goes with Miss Mittons to help her pick out a Christmas tree. Needless to say, he ends up back in the ER and has to rock an eye patch during his first TV spot promoting the Gingerbread Invitational.He joins Miss Mittons' walking group to go clothes shopping and grab some hot chocolate. Of course, Hope shows up, and the two of them end up leaving together to grab a bite to eat. The night is fantastic — until he gets arrested for breaking into his own car. Then, the next day, he eats a peanut butter cookie and has an allergic reaction. Classic Ted Cooper.Kate is throwing a costume party. She's working overtime, so she calls Dr. Hope and invites her to come early. They look at their yearbook and admit they were both really into each other back then. Ted's like, “I wish we had this conversation in high school!” The party's a blast, and he wants to ask her out but chickens out. He ends up going to her house later that night and finally asks her out — and she's down to clown.They do a Christmas-themed escape room, and it's going great until they need help… but the helper has fallen asleep and doesn't hear them, so they end up trapped there overnight. They talk all night, and right when they're about to kiss — boom, the guy wakes up and interrupts them. But the vibes? Off the charts.The next day, Ted uses a rideshare to get to his news shoot, and a limo picks him up. He accidentally leaves his phone behind. Later, when Hope tries to call him, a woman answers — she's partying hard — and Hope thinks Ted is with her!Ted realizes his phone is missing and goes to leave a note on Hope's door, but the note blows away. Classic misunderstanding.Miss Mittons gives Ted his own track jacket and tells him not to worry — these things happen.Hope gets a call from the rideshare driver, who fills her in on what really happened. She and Ted meet back up, but even though it was all a misunderstanding, it leads to an argument. Hope tells him she wishes he'd fight for himself more — she wants to really know Ted.He takes that to heart. Ted tells her she's right — he's going to do better, he's taking the job he was afraid to take — and then they kiss… ON LIVE TV!The movie ends with a giant gingerbread decoration almost falling on him — but missing him.

It's a brand new episode — Brian is back to help us review the second Hallmark Christmas movie of the season: A Christmas Angel Match.ABOUT A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCHTwo Christmas Angels with opposite styles must unite soulmates before the holiday while dealing with department downsizing and their own unexpected connection.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCHSunday, October 19, 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCHMeghan Ory as MonicaBenjamin Ayres as MichaelDirected by Christie Will WolfBRAN'S A CHRISTMAS ANGEL MATCH SYNOPSISDo you know how some people are drawn together in what seems to be a magical way? MMMM… try angels.The Christmas Connection Angels spend the entire year finding folks who could use a little Christmas love. Monica is one of the oldest and best of the bunch—she's been doing this since before the first Christmas tree. But lately, it's getting harder than ever. Humans are distracted by their phones and their busy lives, and Monica's starting to feel disheartened.While venting to one of her angel friends about how things are going, she bumps—literally—into fellow angel Michael, spilling coffee everywhere. Ugh. The worst.Michael's an up-and-comer—an angel who already has his wings, even though he's not yet a century old. Monica can't stand him. For all her careful preparation, he's the opposite: impulsive and a bit of a rule-bender.At the annual Christmas Connection meeting, led by Gabriel, Monica gets even more bad news—she's not winning “Angel of the Year.” That honor is going to (you guessed it) Michael.To make things even more complicated, Monica and Michael are assigned the same two humans to match—Patrick and Daisy. This has never happened before, but Cloud Command says it must be so.When they pop down to Earth, their very different approaches immediately clash. Michael loves pushing the limits of what angels are allowed to do—something Monica finds both frustrating and, annoyingly, kind of intriguing. Despite their efforts, Patrick and Daisy just aren't clicking.As Monica and Michael spend more time together, they open up to each other. Monica reveals that she matched Patrick's great-grandparents—and every generation since. Patrick is a legacy match, and this one means everything to her.But when the match still doesn't happen, Gabriel calls them in. Monica is put on leave, and Michael—trying to protect her—gives up his wings. When Monica returns to plead his case, she overhears what she thinks is Michael saying she doesn't have what it takes anymore.Heartbroken, Monica heads down to Earth for some hot chocolate and, for the first time ever, a good cry. There, she runs into Michael. They talk, reconcile, and he tells her how truly amazing she is. Together, they decide to throw caution to the wind and make Patrick and Daisy's love story happen once and for all—and they do.Afterward, Monica and Michael have a playful snowball fight, laughing and realizing they're feeling something new—something “flutterous.” Gabriel appears, revealing that they were his mission all along. As golden dust of the Holy Spirit falls around them, Gabriel grants them a new promotion—a life of love.They slow dance beneath the glow as the gold dust swirls, and finally… they kissssss.
