But that’s exactly what happened to Kate. Kate is currently taking care of her dad, and life is just passing her by. That’s why she did this thing — this thing that ended up giving her the most amazing Christmas ever. She fell in love. But we’ll get there. Cut back to three weeks earlier. She goes to check on her dad, Mac, who—despite being supposed to move around more—is doing the opposite, which has her worried. She stops by a coffee shop and her friend Laura tells her she got her a Christmas gift: a Christmas-themed dating service. Kate is NOT into it. So Laura, Calum, and Mac stage a full-on intervention. Her dad tells her she’s too young to spend every evening with him. She reluctantly agrees to the 12 Dates thing… which starts in 90 minutes! She goes, and it’s very elaborate. A horse and carriage takes her to a magical igloo in the woods. The problem is… her date never shows. Meanwhile, Mac finally gets back out there. He goes to the coffee shop and bumps into Evalyn — and he’s not upset about it. Kate decides to give the service another shot and ends up on a skating date with a guy named Oliver. Despite the fact that he talks about his ex the entire time, they find themselves standing under mistletoe. They decide to go for it and kiss — which immediately leads to him breaking down in tears. Mac is walking around town getting a little exercise when Evalyn pops out and drags him into a dance workout class. He doesn’t stay long and walks out. It’s time for Date #3. She shows up for a baking competition date and meets her GIANT date, Anthony. The date doesn’t go terribly… until he suddenly wants to talk about marriage and kids. She doesn’t even know what she wants, and he’s like, “Well then why are you even doing this?!” Evalyn helps Mac home and basically tells him to stop feeling sorry for himself. He ends up back at her dance class and crushes it. Kate gets flowers and a card from Richard — the first-date no-show. He apologizes for goofing and says he’s down at the coffee shop waiting for her. But by the time she builds up the courage to go, he’s gone. He leaves his number, so she texts him that he missed out again . He replies that next time he’ll wait all night. This turns into a flirty texting conversation. She finds out he’s a journalist working on a story about the 12 Dates. He’s also a love skeptic. And he loves Die Hard. Maybe this is the perfect match. At the next date event, she talks with a woman who fell for her first date — but sees him dancing with someone else. So Kate becomes fully committed to getting those two back together… and she does. Mac is putting up Christmas lights, feeling himself, until he falls off the ladder and re-injures himself. Instead of calling Kate, he calls Evalyn. She comes over to help — but Kate is NOT thrilled when she finds out. It’s time for the next event: Mates & Dates. A lot happens here. Richard finally shows up… and he might be the hottest guy in the world. Crying-in-her-mouth Oliver is there — and it turns out his ex-girlfriend is Calum’s current girlfriend, Sarah. Calum shows up to support Kate. It’s A LOT. Richard gets frustrated that Kate is running around helping everyone else all night, so he goes to leave. Kate runs after him and ends up kissing him. He kisses her right back — REAL BIG ONES — while Calum and Sarah watch through the window… Sarah pumped, Calum not so much.

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by Aura Frames. Exclusive $45-off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/DECK // Promo Code: DECK --- Chase Bridges , YouTube sensation, joins us to review the UPtv Christmas mystery A Christmas Murder Mystery — a holiday whodunit filled with secrets, suspense, and snow. ABOUT A CHRISTMAS MURDER MYSTERY The editor of the Metropolitan Ledger's puzzle section, who also works part-time as a consultant for the local sheriff, is invited to spend the holidays with a family harboring secrets. Soon, she finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation — all during the most festive time of the year. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A CHRISTMAS MURDER MYSTERY December 7 2025 | UPtv CAST & CREW OF A CHRISTMAS MURDER MYSTERY Vivica A. Fox as Cynthia Marshall Morgan Bradley as Vera Vexley Rob Mayes as Troy Sterling CHASE’S A CHRISTMAS MURDER MYSTERY SYNOPSIS Vera Vexley is the puzzle editor for a newspaper and a part-time consulting detective for the sheriff’s department. So imagine her surprise when, while staying with some family friends on Christmas Eve — the rich and powerful Sterling family — she is swept into a murder mystery. The father of the Sterling family, Harold Sterling, has been killed! Vera is on the case. It has to be someone in the house, but who? Was it Harold’s wife? One of his two sons, Troy or Michael? His daughter, Katherine? His daughter-in-law Jan? Or the family lawyer, Darren, who was invited for Christmas? Everyone has a motive. Michael had his father invest in his nightclub but then involved the mafia, which upset Harold. Harold gave him until Christmas to buy him out, or he would go public with the mess. Katherine hated her father’s business, even telling him, “someone needed to protect the public from people like him.” And Darren, the lawyer, was the last person to see Harold and had argued with him that night over business. As Vera digs deeper, she uncovers all sorts of family secrets: Michael and Jan are getting divorced; Troy was adopted because his mother had an affair with an employee, meaning Troy isn’t actually Harold’s son; and Darren was secretly having an affair with Michael’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Jan. Things get even more dangerous. Someone pushes Jan down the stairs in an apparent attempt on her life. Not long after, someone tries to kill Michael by bashing him over the head! Vera carefully pieces it all together while developing feelings for Troy. In a classic big reveal, she gathers everyone and announces that Darren, the lawyer, did it. He was furious about being left out of Harold’s will and, feeling betrayed, killed Harold. He then tried to kill Michael, blaming him for the will fiasco, and pushed Jan because of jealousy. But just when everyone thinks the case is closed… it isn’t! After Jan believes Darren has been arrested, she sneaks into Harold’s office to destroy evidence — proving she’s actually the killer. Vera, of course, is waiting. Jan tries to attack her with a letter opener, but fails. Vera explains the truth: Jan killed Harold because she feared that, after divorcing Michael, she would be cut out of the will. She staged her fall down the stairs to avoid suspicion and then tried to kill Michael so she could inherit his estate — still legally hers since they’re technically married. Vera saves the day, kisses Troy, submits her new puzzle to her editor just in time for the deadline, and the Sterlings… live happily ever after.

We’re finally caught up on Hallmark Christmas movies, so it’s time to head back to UPtv with Ryan. Today, we’re reviewing Christmas in Amish Country. ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY A faltering chef returns to her Amish roots in Pennsylvania, finds solace in slow-cooking, and rekindles a friendship with a sweet farmer from her past. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY November 30 2025 | UPtv CAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY Ella Cannon as Claire Jason Tobias as Jack BRAN’S CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY SYNOPSIS It’s December 20th and we’re at a fancy new restaurant. 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.

Her brother and daughter pick her up from the bus, and when they get home, there’s a surprise party waiting for her! Apparently, it’s the 50th Christmas Cup! We don’t know what that means yet. It turns out there’s a friendly rivalry between two neighboring towns, Bridgeport and Longleaf. To make things more complicated, the towns now share a school board, police, and fire department. When the mayor of Longleaf shows up with a hot firefighter, she has alternative motives: she wants to shut down the troops’ welcome-back party. The firefighter, Quinn, is clearly smitten with Kelly, but it seems like it could never work. Kelly reluctantly agrees to lead her town in the Christmas Cup this year — and ropes Quinn into helping. The Christmas Cup is a friendly competition between the towns, consisting of challenges like a snowball fight, eggnog chug, and more. Kelly soon learns she has to leave town again soon, which makes her sad. Luckily, Quinn is there to lift her spirits. He invites her on a romantic date wrapping presents for kids, and the night goes beautifully. But then she gets a call — the Marines need her to leave on Christmas Day. She tells her friend the news: she won’t be there for the Christmas Cup. But what about Quinn? Kelly insists, he’s a stranger, who cares! Unfortunately for her, Quinn is right around the corner and overhears everything — and he’s not happy. Kelly starts to rethink leaving and goes to talk to Quinn, but he’s upset: he heard what you said. She realizes she doesn’t want to leave, so she announces to her family, after blowing out the going-away cake candle, that she’s not leaving! The military can wait. Christmas Cup time arrives, and Kelly is initially sad to see Quinn has joined the other team. Longleaf falls behind early after losing the singing and eggnog chug challenges. But then they make a comeback, winning the light untangle and trivia challenges. Bridgeport takes the spice contest, so it all comes down to the snowball fight, worth 20 points. Longleaf is about to win, but a little girl decides to be kind and not throw a snowball at her bully. The teams agree it should be a tie, but the bully concedes: Longleaf won fair and square. Kelly and Quinn make up — and share a big, romantic kiss. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

ABOUT THE SNOW MUST GO ON Isaiah Heyward returns to Broadway after a decade, but faces challenges in finding a director. He saves a Christmas musical and discovers love, family, and friendship as the greatest holiday gifts. He reunites with his family and friends. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE SNOW MUST GO ON November 28, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF THE SNOW MUST GO ON Corey Cott as Isaiah Heyward Heather Hemmens as Lilly-Anne BRAN’S THE SNOW MUST GO ON SYNOPSIS The movie starts with a Rudolph musical. It’s safe to say this is off-Broadway. Actor Isaiah Heyward wrote, directed, and stars in the one-man show that no one cared about. He put his heart and soul into it, working on it for over a year. His sister, Jess, and her daughter, Aurora, show up to cheer him on and invite him home for Christmas. He says he has a big Broadway audition tomorrow, so he can’t come. Isaiah shows up for the audition and sees a poster for a musical he was in long ago. Now, he can’t even get in the room to audition before the casting director leaves for the day. To make matters worse, he gets fired from his caroling gig for showing up late. With nothing else going on, he heads home to Hancock. His sister picks him up and immediately guilt-trips Isaiah for not being around for Aurora, who is struggling to adjust to her parents’ divorce. To make it up to her, he offers to pick her up from school — and naturally ends up taking over as director of the Christmas musical when the old director quits. The school guidance counselor, Lilly-Anne, gets roped into being the staff supervisor. But it turns out Isaiah doesn’t just have to direct — he has to finish writing the show, which happens to be about reindeer. It doesn’t take long for Lilly-Anne to open up to him about her past. Isaiah discovers that one of the kids in the theater program is the daughter of the woman cast in the musical he wanted to audition for. He hatches a plan: he’s going to cast himself as the lead to impress her. Aurora hears about his plan and volunteers to help make his vision come to life. Lilly-Anne helps Isaiah learn how to work with kids, including helping one student, Steven, conquer his fear of singing in public and audition for the musical. There’s a lot of confusion over why Isaiah cast himself as the lead, but Aurora convinces everyone they’re lucky to learn from a Broadway legend. He starts spending more time with Lilly-Anne outside of rehearsals — holding hands while looking at Christmas lights, watching a movie together, and shopping for a bad Charlie Brown-style Christmas tree. After showing off his stage lighting setup, Isaiah and Lilly-Anne share a kiss — but he’s conflicted because he hasn’t told her the truth about why he’s the lead. To help the kids feel comfortable performing in front of an audience, they go Christmas caroling. The more Isaiah cares about the kids, the wiser he feels — but it’s time for the final dress rehearsal. He finds out a producer will be in the audience, so he goes out there and crushes it. The producer finds him backstage and invites him to the city on Christmas Eve to audition. Isaiah is thrilled — it’s what he’s been waiting for. Unfortunately, Lilly-Anne overhears, is upset, and demands he tell the kids the truth, or she will. It does not go well. He goes to the audition but can’t focus, constantly thinking about letting the kids down. He tells the producer he has to return to Hancock to see the lead — the kids’ performance — and pleads with her to come with him. She shows up just in time to give a pep talk, and Isaiah arrives behind her to apologize to everyone. The show is a smash hit. He tells Lilly-Anne this is his favorite standing ovation. He confesses that he has a new dream — one with her — and decides he doesn’t want to go back to Broadway. The snow machine starts, they kiss, and he quips, “The snow must go on.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

He remembers her talking about this coffee shop, so he goes there. Another dead end — but he leaves his number. She posts her story on a missed-connections app and gets a hit — a guy named David asks to meet at that same coffee shop. A woman shows up saying she works for a guy named Dave. Unfortunately, wrong Dave. Hate to see it. They have another close encounter at a Christmas concert — she went to the early show, he went to the late show. He remembers that she invited him to a Christmas Eve service. He just has to find that church. But first — the Christmas tree lot. They both happen to be there at the same time but don’t bump into each other. We get to see the goodnight scene again, but this time we see that he stopped the elevator from closing completely and came back to kiss her real good. They also bump into each other again at another Christmas pageant — he even sees her through the crowd but assumes he’s hallucinating. She makes one last-ditch effort by asking a radio DJ to read a message on-air asking him to meet her in front of a Christmas tree — but he never shows. He discovers that his sister bought one of Annie’s handmade dresses at the market. He runs down there, but it’s closed. Still, he decides to give the church a shot — and wouldn’t you know it? They find each other. They both say they’ve been looking for each other! He immediately gets her number and asks her out on a proper date. They celebrate finding each other with a kiss as the snow falls around them. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by Racine Danish Kringles. 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 CAFÉ Olivia 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 CAFÉ November 30, 2025 | Hallmark Movies & Mysteries CAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉ Paul Campbell as Ben Erin Cahill as Olivia BRAN’S CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉ SYNOPSIS The 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 .

This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by Racine Danish Kringles. Exclusive 10% off entire order - www.kringles.com // Promo Code: HALLMARK25 --- It's time to start our journey through the Thanksgiving week movies! Up first, we’re joined by Alonso Duralde to dive into this year’s big Saturday release: A Grand Ole Opry Christmas — where country music, Christmas magic, and time-travel nostalgia meet under one roof. ABOUT A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS Gentry Wade, who gave up music after her father's death decades ago must confront her past when Nashville's Grand Ole Opry invites her to honor her late country star dad at their Christmas celebration. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS November 29, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS Nikki DeLoach as Gentry Wade Kristoffer Polaha as Mac BRAN’S A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off like you’re watching a VHS of an old Opry performance: the Winters & Wade Farewell Show at the Grand Ole Opry Christmas Special. Cut to present day, where we meet Gentry Wade , daughter of Jett Wade. She gets a knock at the door from her pal Mac , who keeps pushing her to let him sign her and record some songs. She insists that’s not happening. Mac owns a bar in Nashville, where Gentry works and is mostly happy—despite everyone constantly asking about her father. Why did he quit music? And where is his missing guitar? Family friend Rita stops by with a plea from the Opry: they want Gentry to attend the Opry’s 100th anniversary to honor her dad. Gentry isn’t sure. Over drinks, we learn that Mac and Gentry have been friends since high school, but Mac insists he has zero romantic interest in her. Mmmhmm. Sure, pal. Gentry, Mac, and Rita head to the Opry and tag along with a tour guide who looks suspiciously like Erin Cahill. Backstage, Gentry bumps into Von Winters , who asks why she’s hesitant about attending the anniversary. She explains she always wanted to be a songwriter, but it didn’t work out, and she never earned her place in the Opry Circle. Von tells her that her time may not be up—it's Christmas, after all. She goes out onto the Opry stage to think. A blinding light hits her and suddenly—she’s transported back in time. There onstage are her dad and Von doing soundcheck. Before she can talk to him, she’s zapped back to the present. She runs to tell Mac, who absolutely does NOT believe her. Determined, Gentry sneaks back onto the stage again. Another blinding flash—and boom—she’s back in time, bumping into a younger Rita. Mac, worried about her, goes to the Opry. He sits in a pew, gets blinded by the light, and he time travels too. He finds Gentry and she explains they’re in 1995, right before the final Winters & Wade performance. She tells him she needs to find out why her dad walked away from music. Young Rita spots them and assumes they’re a married couple, insisting they stay at her apartment. The next day, Gentry goes to the Opry pretending to be a label rep so she can talk to her dad. Jett tells her he and Von are getting along great and have songs ready for their next album. This makes Gentry wonder if they’re in some alternate timeline where the breakup never happens. Mac urges her to stop overthinking—maybe they were brought back for a reason. Later, Gentry overhears Von talking with their manager, who wants the duo to change their style. Jett is absolutely not on board. At a Christmas party, she overhears them discussing bringing in new writers. Jett is furious. When he sees her, he assumes she’s part of the label agenda and storms off. Gentry goes outside to the fire pit with Mac and opens up about memories of her father, including a song they started but never finished. Mac asks her to sing it. She does—and Jett secretly listens from behind them. The next day, Jett approaches her to apologize and tells her the song is really good. He asks why she never finished it. She says he passed away before they had the chance. He invites her to come to the Opry the next day so they can work on it together. She agrees, and they spend the day bonding while Mac records a video of them singing. Their session is cut short when Von and the manager show up—they’ve moved the recording session up to December 26 to prep for a world tour. But that means Jett will miss Christmas with his family, and the long tour makes him uneasy. The next day, Jett is missing. Gentry knows exactly where to find him—his “thinking spot.” She and Mac go there, and she basically convinces him to walk away from the duo and choose family. Afterward, Mac and Gentry finally kiss . The next day, Von calls Gentry in and reveals he knows she’s not a label executive—but he thinks she’s a great songwriter and wants to work with her. Before the big performance, Jett tells Von he’s out. This will be their final show. Right before the set, Mac realizes Jett doesn’t have his pick. He runs it over, trips, falls onto a pew—BOOM—transported back to the present.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?! Flash back one week: Emily is full of Christmas spirit, singing Jingle Bells . Famous Ray stops by to tell Emily there’s a new fine-dining spot opening across town. His friend is opening it and asks if she’d help come up with a Christmas meal for the soft launch. Cut to the restaurant, where they’re still scrambling to get it ready. The owner, Danny, is in a huge argument with the contractor because he owes him a lot of money. Danny can’t afford anything and his wife, Lauren, is not thrilled. Danny introduces Emily to Carrie, their sommelier, and Chef John Mark. John Mark is not impressed with her Victorian cookbooks, so she leaves—only to witness Danny and Famous Ray arguing. Later, Sam gets a call: there’s been a murder. Danny is dead in the snow, his knuckles red. Emily goes to talk to Famous Ray to ask more about Chimera and notices his knuckles are red. I’m sure it’s nothing. She asks if he went straight to the Chimera source. While they’re talking, he gets a call—Danny is dead. Flashback: Emily in her Chimera days, stealing money from a billionaire—“You gotta do bad to do some good.” She kisses Aaron (the guy from the last episode). Sam brings Lauren in to question her. She hopes Sam won’t shut them down because “this is Danny’s legacy.” Sam asks Emily what she knows. She mentions the contractor… and the argument she saw with Famous Ray. That night, Emily gets home and finds Famous Ray waiting inside (totally normal, very chill). He’s like, “Listen, I can’t have the police poking around my business. I did punch Danny, but that’s it. He was fine when I left.” The next morning he makes pancakes but has to hide when Sam drops by. Sam tells her Famous Ray left town and to call if she hears anything. Emily checks in on the staff. She discovers the chef and Lauren have a past—and he took the job to be close to her, even though it was a step down. Emily also witnesses a big argument between Chef John Mark and Carrie, the sommelier. On her way out, she sees Sam—and Sam is shocked to learn that Violet’s mom (his ex), Monica, is in town. Flashback: Aaron tells Emily he’s the one who framed their principal back in the day. He was “just trying to protect her.” Violet meets with her mom but doesn’t stay long. Clearly, there are feelings there. Emily goes to get her cookbooks from John Mark and sees the place nearly empty. So she snoops—naturally—and finds paperwork showing Lauren owns 100% of the business. Weird, huh. She tries to crack the safe but gets interrupted by Carrie, who says she probably won’t be around long anyway. Later, Emily runs into contractor Jason, who apologizes for his earlier behavior. She walks into the diner and sees Monica, who asks if things are serious between Sam and Emily. Emily brings Sam to talk to Famous Ray so he can clear his name. His story holds up, but Sam warns her not to trust the wrong friend. Flashback: Emily has trusted the wrong person before. She once confronted her boyfriend after discovering some pretty bad stuff. Back in the present, Emily grows more suspicious of John Mark. Before she investigates, Sam shows up. The place looks closed, but he walks in anyway. It’s dark. He pokes around. We see a hand grab a bottle of wine. Emily calls him—because she’s getting nervous. We see Sam get knocked out and dragged across the floor. Emily panics and goes inside. She sees the wine trail leading to the walk-in freezer. She opens it and finds Sam. She steps inside—the door slams shut. No cell signal. But they see scratches on the steel door… maybe that’s why Danny’s knuckles were red? So these two lovebirds are stuck in a freezer together. Flashback: Emily confronts Aaron. He’s been diverting stolen money into offshore accounts and making deals with terrorist organizations. Cops burst in. Aaron escapes. Emily tells Sam her name used to be Grace. He says it suits her… and then they KISSSSSS!!! Thankfu

This time we head to Buffalo for Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story — clear eyes, full Bills, can't lose. ABOUT HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A BILLS LOVE STORY Sparks fly between two lifelong Buffalo Bills fans as they try to discover the identity of a mysterious Christmastime gift giver.

She can’t stop watching the game, her date isn’t having it, and they leave. But at least now she can enjoy the game while sipping a drink made by Andrew Walker. The next day, she’s with her family, the Quinns, who are hanging out with their best friends and next-door neighbors, the DeLucas family. Morgan lights up when Gabe shows up. They’ve been best friends forever, but Gabe has secretly been in love with her all along. With both of them single, maybe now’s the time to finally shoot his shot. They go to snag a Christmas tree — at the same lot where Tyler Hynes and Hunter King are inexplicably picking out a tree. And, of course, the magical Santa tree is there too. When they get back home, they find an envelope addressed to Uncle Tommy. Inside is a Christmas ornament. He explains that someone has been sending gifts like this for 55 years — starting as groceries and cash when their family was struggling during his draft into the war, and evolving into ornaments every year. It’s a mystery who the giver is. Morgan and Gabe decide to track down the mystery giver — harder than they expected. After a day together and seeing her in her element at the hospital, Gabe tries to confess his feelings but gets distracted by the Christmas light display at his house turning on. They ask Uncle Tommy to show them more ornaments, and on the bottom of one, they spot a store name. They track down receipts from the ’70s and start combing through them. Eventually, they get a lead — though the giver’s name isn’t visible yet. It’s obvious to everyone else that Gabe is in love with Morgan, but he can’t bring himself to say it. Finally, they track down the mystery giver: Mia, a childhood friend of Tommy’s who’s secretly been in love with him all these years. Feeling a kinship with her situation, Gabe insists she tell Tommy. Mia resists, but Gabe won’t let it go. Morgan confronts Gabe: “What’s up with you?” He blurts, “I LOVE YOU, OKAY?!” She walks away to process it. It’s time for the big Christmas game, and Gabe is nowhere to be found. Turns out he orchestrated Mia’s daughter to be the “troop shoutout of the day,” and gets Tommy to publicly thank Mia. He finally tells her he’s always loved her, and they kissssss. Everyone cheers — including Morgan, who can’t believe everything Gabe did to make it happen. Her sister goes into labor, so they can’t take their traditional family photo. Luckily, Gabe pulls some strings again, getting them back into the stadium to play catch with Bills legends and take their pictures. Morgan thanks Gabe with a big ol’ kiss. Merry Christmas!

It's time to break down A Royal Christmas Hope . ABOUT A ROYAL CHRISTMAS HOPE A nonprofit director meets a prince volunteering incognito at her charity during Christmas. While helping families in need, they develop unexpected feelings for each other — and face the challenge of balancing duty, identity, and love. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A ROYAL CHRISTMAS HOPE November 23 2025 | UpTV CAST & CREW OF A ROYAL CHRISTMAS HOPE Jenna Michno as Julia Carter Robert Adamson as Prince Christopher BRAN’S A ROYAL CHRISTMAS HOPE SYNOPSIS We open at a non-profit, and things are… not great. Director Julia is scrambling to figure out how to save the place. She started Hope for All to give hope for all — but if they run out of money, there’s going to be hope for none. What can they do? Well, they could cancel the Christmas tree lighting. Over Julia’s dead body! She’s determined to figure something out. Cut to a castle. Prince Christopher is over palace Christmas and wants to experience the holiday anywhere else. His parents are not into it, but his mind is made up: he wants to go to America. His dad, the King, agrees on one condition — he must take a chaperone: Malcolm. Malcolm is… not thrilled. So off to America he goes, and off to her family farm Julia goes — which must not be too far away, because she’s quickly back in town to oversee an event the non-profit is hosting. Prince Christopher goes out for a jog, wanders into the event (thinking it’s a store for some reason), and Julia assumes he’s hungry and tries to give him food. He politely declines and runs off. But he cannot stop thinking about her, so he shows up later that night and asks her out to dinner. She reluctantly agrees and ends up opening up about the non-profit’s financial struggles. She also teaches him the finer points of eating nachos and drinking cola. He tells her he wants to volunteer at her non-profit. He does — and he’s great with kids. She even asks if he has any, because he’s so natural with them. He doesn’t, but they keep sharing, and she eventually tells him she was married once — her husband Keith died in a car accident a few years ago. Naturally, this leads to them eating Chinese food in her apartment. They keep hanging out… and he keeps not telling her who he really is. Julia’s friend starts getting suspicious — he’s not on social media, his backstory is shaky, and something just isn’t adding up. So she sleuths. And she discovers: he’s a prince. Of course she tells Julia. Julia confronts him and breaks things off — she feels betrayed. She’s stunned when she later sees that he made a massive donation to the non-profit. And, honestly? It works. She goes to see if he’s still at the hotel, but he’s already left. When she gets back to her office, though — he’s there waiting. They reconcile, head to the Christmas tree lighting, and KISSSSSSSS. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

Alonso and Jacks are joining us to jump into a Disney+ holiday movie! Today, we're chatting about A Very Jonas Christmas Movie . Let's road trip! ABOUT A VERY JONAS CHRISTMAS MOVIE Three famous brothers race against time and face mounting challenges during a chaotic journey from London to New York, desperate to make it home in time for Christmas. AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR A VERY JONAS CHRISTMAS MOVIE November 14, 2025 | Disney+ & Hulu CAST & CREW OF A VERY JONAS CHRISTMAS MOVIE Kevin Jonas , Joe Jonas , Nick Jonas as themselves Chloe Bennet as Lucy Billie Lourd as Cassidy Laverne Cox as Stacy KJ Apa as Gene Andrew Barth Feldman as Ethan Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Santa Claus BRAN’S A VERY JONAS CHRISTMAS MOVIE SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Williams — which is how you instantly know this is a Disney movie and not a Hallmark movie. Suddenly, Will Ferrell is there with his family. Apparently, they flew all the way to London to see the Jonas Brothers. Tonight is Will Ferrell’s Super Bowl. When people ask him when he’s making Elf 2 , he’s using the Jonas Brothers to mentally push through it. We’re transported to the theater where the JoBros come out and sing Feels Like Christmas , and we could not be more in. Neither could Will Ferrell. He is loving it. The show wraps and they head to the end-of-tour party. They’ve got a flight in the morning, but their manager is leaving tonight, so he gives each of them a whistle “in case they need it,” and a card for a 24/7 travel agency. Joe rips it up — they don’t need that. Joe wants to go out with his brothers, but they aren’t having it. They’re tired dads in their 30s — what could they possibly be missing out on? Joe breaks into a full musical number about what could happen that night. It does not work. Nick FaceTimes Priyanka to say how excited he is to get home. He’s exhausted. Touring is hard and, according to Nick, he’s the only brother who really works. Kevin FaceTimes Danielle, and she asks if he’s told the brothers his “news.” He has not. Joe heads to the hotel bar where he chats with Santa, who asks what’s got him down in the dumps. Joe just misses the good old days when the brothers actually hung out. After Joe walks away, Santa sings a spell that will remind them of their brotherly magic. Unless they find that bond again, they won’t make it home for Christmas. And to make sure that happens? Santa blows up their plane. The brothers arrive at the airport to find their plane destroyed. Luckily, Brad (their manager) slipped the travel-agency cards into their wallets. They call, and the agent gets them a flight out of another airport — but they have to catch a train in 30 minutes. Their driver is absolutely unhinged, like Dan trying to make it to the Kelly Clarkson Show taping on time. They grab their tickets and even have time for a song about coming home for Christmas. Kenny G pops in for a sax solo because of course he does. But once they board the train, it magically switches from heading to Paris to heading to Amsterdam. Uh oh. On the train, Joe bumps into his childhood love, Lucy, who moved to Portland back when they were in love. She’s going through a breakup and came to Europe for some space. They hug and part ways. Definitely nothing to worry about. They’re shocked when they actually end up in Amsterdam and are forced to stay the night with no guaranteed flight in the morning. Luckily, Ethan — the guy Nick starred with in Home Alone: The Musical — is doing a one-night-only show called Egg Nog with an EGOT and is flying out on a private jet. Maybe they can hitch a ride. Unfortunately, Ethan hates Nick. Ethan played Kevin, Nick played his dad, and it created… weird vibes. They show up to the show, Nick sings a duet from the musical, and he accidentally embarrasses Ethan. So: no plane. Crazily, Lucy is also there. Joe hangs out with her for the night, which gives Santa the opportunity to swipe the passports Joe keeps in his fancy passport pouch. Joe and Lucy jump into a freezing canal and get chased by police — a whole thing — but Joe fumbles the moment romantically. He knows it, so he sings about it. The brothers call the travel agent again, who says if they can get to Germany, her ex-boyfriend can fly them home on his private jet. They rent a car, it breaks down, and they end up hitching a ride with a Christmas tree truck driven by… Santa, naturally. After a heart-to-heart with Santa, Nick hops in the back to hang with his brothers, complete with a song and childhood Christmas home videos. They finally reach the jet — which is piloted by Archie from Riverdale . The dude is unhinged, gets knocked out, and they’re forced to crash-land the plane. It’s freezing. This leads to a massive argument. Nick extended the tour without them. Joe thinks Nick is mean to him. Kevin just wants to sing a lead vocal on one song. They storm off and — of course — sing about it. They eventually find their way back to each other… but

Listen to this amazing Christmas album HERE . -- Alonso joins us this week to continue our journey through Season 2 of Mistletoe Murders with a double-episode breakdown of The Ides of December (Part 1 & Part 2) . It's time to get artsy! ABOUT: MISTLETOE MURDERS – THE IDES OF DECEMBER Part 1: A murder at Fletcher's Grove art show leads Sam and Emily to investigate off-grid. Sam's ex-partner was killed guarding a valuable painting, while Emily's past emerges. Part 2: Emily and Sam investigate deception surrounding a mysterious painting, revealing hidden motives and Emily's own secrets, while Violet makes a special gift. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: MISTLETOE MURDERS – THE IDES OF DECEMBER November 14, 2025 | Hallmark Mystery Channel CAST & CREW OF: MISTLETOE MURDERS – THE IDES OF DECEMBER Sarah Drew as Emily Peter Mooney as Sam BRAN’S MISTLETOE MURDERS – THE IDES OF DECEMBER SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with an art influencer live-streaming. We're at an art gallery for missing artist, Angela Wells. It's got a bunch of never-before-seen stuff that has been found by her granddaughter, Moira Wells. Famous Ray has funded this gallery. Classic Famous Ray. Emily walks into the diner and sees Sam. Violet is back at the Mistletoe and Emily is pumped. We see Sam's mentor and old partner, Reed, come in and give Sam a big ol hug. He's in town doing security for the art gallery. Reed gets there to accept some shipping for the gallery. The dude is running late and when he finally arrives, Reed looks terrified. Obviously, Sam discovers him dead the next day. Emily goes to the bookstore for Moira's book reading when a police officer comes and pulls her aside. They need her to identify if one of the paintings left behind is an authentic Angela Wells. She says it is. It doesn't take long for Emily to find out about Reed. She goes to check on Sam and obviously tries to find out if there are any suspects. He's looking at the security footage and he notices that the live streamer poking around the art house late at night. Sam brings him in for questioning. He says he came across someone with a gun and got out of there quick. The "Bad News Guy," Kyle, is heading out of town for the holidays but while he's still in town, has a flirty fun time with Violet and they talk about the Christmas presents they bought for each other, despite Violet most definitely not having a Christmas gift for him. Sam finds out that Reed was struggling with a painkiller addiction before his death. Sam continues to feel guilty because Reed took a bullet for him early in his career. And Reed asked Sam to help him at the gallery but he said no. He should've been there. We see a flashback of Emily as a kid using her "wiz powers" for bad and changing the grades of a bully to make his grades worse. The boy she's hanging out with is a fan, and they kiss. Back to present day, Emily and Sam sneak around the art gallery to listen in on the investigation since Sam is too close to the case to actively investigate. They catch wind of a guy named Benny who may have a grudge against Reed. They go to do a stakeout and find Benny talking to the art influencer and Moira Wells. How are they all connected? The next day at a book signing for Moira, Emily watches as Moira gets really weird around a girl who said she's adopted too. After that, the bookstore owner, Noah, confronts her. He thinks she's lying about who she is because of inconsistencies in the book. She quickly leaves. Emily goes to talk to Famous Ray about getting them on the guest list for the big art exhibit. On her way out, she asks if he knows anything about underground hackers. She rattles off a few including Chimera and Ray is like, "Oh, are you and Sam working on the same project?" It's at this point that she realizes Sam is still investigating her. Emily is poking around some more and sees the art influencer clean his glasses with the same glasses cleaner found at the crime scene. He said he was there because he paid the security guard to let him see the painting first. Which is why when the painting is finally displayed at a party, he looks confused. Obviously, Emily notices and asks him what's wrong. He says, "That's not the painting I saw." Sam takes this information to his boss and he tells him to stay out of this; he's not on this case. We get another flashback and we see the principal of the school come to talk to her hacking club about someone who stole money from the school's bank account. They think some student hacked into the system and she shuts down the hacking club. Back to present day, Emily meets with Noah. He's continuing to dig into his suspicion about Moira. He thinks she's definitely a fraud, so he decides to apologize to her and ask her for drinks to bury the hatchet. The "Bad News Guy" art influencer is found dead. That's unfortunate. And Piper, the girl who Moira got mad at at the book signing, had her art piece des

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 SEASON A 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 SEASON November 16 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF TIDINGS FOR THE SEASON Tamera Mowry-Housley as Lucy B.J. Britt as Adam Kade Elijah-Justus Lewis as Robbie BRAN’S TIDINGS FOR THE SEASON SYNOPSIS The 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/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?

ABOUT THREE WISEST MEN Three siblings deal with personal changes and their mother's decision to sell the family home before Christmas. Between in-laws, wild animals, and a mall Santa, they try to make the holidays perfect. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THREE WISEST MEN November 15, 2025 | Hallmark Channel CAST & CREW OF THREE WISEST MEN Tyler Hynes as Taylor Andrew Walker as Luke Paul Campbell as Stephen BRAN’S THREE WISEST MEN SYNOPSIS Luke kicks the movie off by looking in the mirror… this time with a shirt on. BOOOOOO. He and his wife are expecting twins , and that’s making Thomas feel a little forgotten. Stephen and Susie are wedding planning, and it’s a lot. Taylor is touring a video game company where the owner wants him to come run the place—which includes the biggest office I’ve ever seen. But Taylor doesn’t want to move, and since he hasn’t talked to his girlfriend about possibly moving out of state… this gig is probably a no-go. Also, he’s in love. Luke goes to a Lamaze class and it’s an absolute disaster. Apparently Stephen isn’t a pet psychologist anymore—he has authored three books and has a massive leak in his living room. Everything is freaking him out. He and Susie end up moving in with his mom while they get the house repaired. Before Taylor can leave the office, he bumps into his ex, Fiona, who gives him the hard sell about taking the job—and even grabs his hand. When he gets home, he does not tell his girlfriend about that part. The brothers all meet up at Mom’s house and are shocked to learn she’s selling it. They all handle the news very maturely (lol). So it’s time for the last family Christmas. But it’s going to be an even fuller house when Susie’s dad (and his pet bird) unexpectedly show up. They all eat some King’s Hawaiian rolls and agree to make this last Christmas in the house the best Christmas ever. The next day, Stephen gets the holiday off to a rocky start when he accidentally lets Bob’s bird escape. Taylor is stunned when he finds out his girlfriend is actually excited about the idea of moving to San Francisco for the job. He gets weird about it, and she gets upset. Thomas starts acting out because he feels forgotten, and Luke can’t figure out what’s going on. That night, Thomas finally opens up, and Luke has a really sweet moment with him. The next morning, all the brothers commit to making Thomas feel special again. They build a giant Christmas fort, celebrate medieval Christmas, and go pick out a Christmas tree. It’s a great day. When they get back with the tree, Jared the bird shows up and rats Stephen out for letting him escape. Then they try to catch a rodent that’s living in the tree. Then the tree falls over. And just as Thomas declares it the worst Christmas ever… Taylor’s ex-girlfriend Fiona shows up. Taylor promptly faints. Taylor opens up to his family about the San Francisco job offer, and they emotionally unpack it—while literally unpacking a HomeGoods bag. Taylor grabs coffee with Fiona to talk things through. He tells her that if he takes the job, she has to be okay with the fact that he’s moved on. She’s like, “Okie dokie.” Bad news, everyone—Luke forgot his anniversary. He goes to talk to his brothers, which leads to a heart-to-heart-to-heart. They go to get Thomas the one gift he wants for Christmas: a Turbo Man doll. This adventure leads to them getting arrested. Don’t ask. At dinner that night, Mom gives Bob a speech about how amazing Stephen is and all that. And then Sophie goes into labor. She gives birth to the twins, and Stephen immediately steals the spotlight by proposing to Susie right there in the hospital chapel. Then Luke steals the spotlight back by giving Sophie a late anniversary gift. And then Taylor steals the spotlight from all of them by asking his girlfriend to move to San Francisco with him. She says yes. Everyone is happy. Wedding time. Big kisses. And Santa Mark LaClark rolls in to drop off a Turbo Man for Thomas.
