Is ChristmasreallyChristmas without a cheesy Hallmark movie (or 10)?

For a while, the non-original Christmas movies on Netflix tended to be the same every year.

Wes Brown and Lacey Chabert in Haul Out the Holly

Youve probably watched Netflix Christmas movie staples like A Christmas Prince and The Princess Switch.

But for anyone itching for the classic Hallmark Christmas vibe, Netflix has a sleigh full.

When Georgia spends Christmas with her sister in London, she meets Graham.

As is often the case, the two butt heads before finding some common ground.

Given that theyre both fairly closed off, Graham and Georgia have some work to do.

‘Haul Out the Holly’

Grinch alert: Emilys (Lacey Chabert) boyfriend royally sucks.

Weve seen this trope and well see it again.

Emily is forced to head home for the holidays when her plans are shattered by a rough breakup.

Frankly, the very thought of a Homeowners Association sounds awful enough to avoid suburban life like the plague.

Its not surprising that the hefty amount of work makes it difficult for her to actually enjoy the holidays.

you’re able to probably guess which romantic trope happens from there.

Can you guess what happens next?

The movie is a part of Hallmark’s Mahogany vertical, which launched in 2021.

It goes deeper than the usual candy cane-loving small-town charm vibe were used to seeing.

Refreshingly, this is more of a family story than a romance movie.

Of course, that doesnt mean there’snoromance.

Its just not the primary focus by any means.

Unlike most Christmas movies, there are actually a few surprises in this one.

(Ill save you aGooglesearch: Its not a real movie.)

Obviously, the fictional film is meant to emulate the actual 1946 classic Its a Wonderful Life.

The moral of the story?

Dont go turning over any suspicious-looking hourglasses.
