You know what I mean. Woman gets an inn (left in a will/wins/buys). Goes to a quaint town. Meets attractive but annoying man blah blah.
Very cheesy but I like them! Is it too early to start watching them? I want to see them all! Anyone with me?

I love them all too.

When the opening shots show an American town with perfect snow, with swept sidewalks, a Christmas tree full of lights, a blue sky, sunshine and smiley people with perfect teeth, I sit back with my crochet and escape for an hour or so.

I’m pretty sure that’s why I loved Disneyland so much. Just walking down Main Street with fake snow and lighting of the tree every evening!

Love the Mrs Miracle ones.

The guy who played Kevin in This Is Us is in one that's out later this month on Netflix.

The Noel Diary.

There are 4 channels of Christmas movies

OliviaFlaversham · 06/11/2022 18:54

That’s the one!

Rummikub · 06/11/2022 19:10

I liked that one too. I mean dolly and Christmas!

crumpet · 06/11/2022 19:19

Love them. I lean more towards the city slicker stranded in small town, and helps save the town from nasty business conglomerate and then falls in love with the local Christmas tree farm owner, than the Christmas Prince type films - the American idea of European principalities makes me cringe just that little bit too much! But I still watch them…

Ladyofthepeonies · 06/11/2022 19:33

Love them all, DH is even getting into them now. I have Heart Christmas on while I work and hallmark movies at the weekend. Feeling festive already

the80sweregreat · 06/11/2022 19:50

They are cheesy , but it's just escapism isn't it ?
Nearly always the same story too!!

Vanderpump · 06/11/2022 20:01

Love these movies, there is always a Christmas fayre, hot chocolate and really bad jumpers

the80sweregreat · 06/11/2022 20:03

It's nearly always the career woman who ends up with a country boy and learns to love all things Christmas and his cute kids and animals

Oh I'm the same. Some random alpine principality where some of the posh English accents are terrible aren't the same somehow. There's one with Roger Moore which is terrible but i still love it

I’d recommend A Castle for Christmas starting Brooke Shields and Cary Elwes - slightly different to the usual Xmas film plot line, but still pleasingly cheesy 😀

I enjoyed that last Christmas. It has something more about it . It has potential for a film which I watch every year whilst having my main attention is turned to something else like wrapping presents

jay55 · 06/11/2022 20:31

Watched one with Candice in earlier, it had everything, moving to a small town, gruff local man who is secretly very educated, not being able to buy a convoluted coffee, perfectly reasonable ambitions abandoned. Loved every daft second.

One of my favourites is the Christmas Village, Channel 5 usually show it, about a woman who gets sucked into her own Christmas village and it's Christmas every day!

Squishedstormtrooper · 06/11/2022 20:37

I love Christmas movies! It’s the predictability that makes them like a warm hug to watch. last year I had shingles at the start of December which was awful…. But it meant I watched none stop Christmas movies in between napping on the sofa. ‘Last Christmas’ made me ugly cry.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Older guy owns an estate in Scotland(?)thought Jonathan Pryce but can't find anything.

Plan seems to be for his son & a neighbour's daughter to marry?

And he has always been widowed, never an ex wife lurking around the corner!

Christmas in the Highlands? It was on 5 yesterday.

DarkMatternix · 06/11/2022 20:40

I watched Holiday in Handcuffs one Christmas, probably well over a decade ago. Certain point of my life and it became like a nice Christmassy comfort blanket. It used to be available on iPlayer or one of the other streaming sites but I haven't been able to watch it for a few years now.

That's it!

Thank you!

Nicholas Farrell & the woman who was in Cracker as his neighbour(?)

I can't remember if I ever watched it all.

I should have been able to guess the title!!

mayaknew · 06/11/2022 20:53

I can't believe I've found this thread! I've dreamt for years of sitting by myself watching cheesy Christmas movies but never been able to due to work. I now work shifts so have days off with the DC's at school.

My plans for every day off are hot chocolate a cosy blanket and a cheesy Christmas film!

So recommendations would be very much appreciated!!

Yesss!

This was my favourite from this genre last year.

JennyAdlington · 06/11/2022 22:03

I love "The Christmas Train" starring the very handsome Dermit Mulroney
