The most wonderful time of the year is finally just around the corner! Personally, this time of year happens to be one of my favorites, the Christmas cheer is in the air, the lights are up outside, and the halls are decked. While there are so many fun things to appreciate this time of year, one of my favorites are all of the Christmas movies that air twenty-four-seven on the Hallmark Channel. Over the years I feel as if these movies have become a staple in many households around the holiday season. Yes, I know what you’re thinking – “but all of those movies are the same and always so predictable!” Well yes, that is true and some people really can not stand watching them, but that doesn’t stop me from loving them.
Another reason that I love these movies so much is because the small towns that these movies often take place in depict the ideal winter wonderland: snow falling softly and warm hot chocolate held in the comfort of shoppers hands as they take on the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping. It always has towns where everyone knows everyone and is home to the most perfect love story. The plotline typically revolves around two people who may or may not be looking for love in their beloved hometown after being away for whatever reason for so long. Of course, these two people cross paths and can’t help but fall in love. They date around their picturesque town visiting the Christmas carnival or watching the children’s choir perform traditional Christmas hymns at the local church, ultimately riding off into the sunset together.
