While Hallmark’s Countdown To Christmas officially began in mid-October with new holiday movies and series, I have to wait until after we take the Halloween decor down before I can jump aboard.
I’m a one holiday at a time gal, what can I say? But now that Halloween is over, spooky movie season is out and holiday movie season is in full swing!
Here’s the official line-up for all your cheesy romantic holiday needs:
Get ready for the big city CEO to return to her hometown and fall in love with the small town baker (or plumber, or innkeeper, or long-lost love, and on and on and on). You know the plots but that never stops millions of people from getting sucked into to all the sappy flicks. Curl up with some hot cocoa and let your heart be warmed.
For me, I’ll still be over here watching my horror movie thrillers long into the new year! I’m all about the chill.
Have a great movie to recommend? Email anytime, Laura would love to hear from you: [email protected]
And tune in weekdays starting at 10am to St. Croix Country & WCFW

Movie Review: Roofman
I’m going to start out by saying that I love Channing Tatum, so I’m completely biased. COMPLETELY. That being said, aside from my admiration, he is a really good actor. And don’t scoff at that…. he is! He has range. He can ham it up in slapstick comedy movies like 21 Jump Street (2012), dance […]
