Hallmark Holiday Movie Picks 2021

I love Hallmark movies. I know, they’re all predictable and full of cliches, but I just think they’re mindless fun. Of course, I watch all the holiday movies every year. Every. Single. One. In case you haven’t seen them all, I’ve picked out my favorites from this year so you can catch them on rerun!

These movies aren’t ranked, I just wrote down the movies I really enjoyed in the order that I watched them which was chronological for the most part.
