Everything Christmas
Not a Christmas Scavenger Hunt… especially if you’re searching for a reason to watch this (you won’t find it).
Unlike its precedessor on the schedule this year, this one was not an intriguing watch.
On her bucket list trip to “Yuletide Springs” (note: this is too on the nose, even for Hallmark), Lori Jo’s vehicle breaks down, stranding her and her roommate/coworker, Tori, until two convenient strangers appear - Zack, with his tow truck; and Chris Cringle, and his classic red pickup.
Side note, if you’re wondering how low Hallmark’s own expectations were for this movie, their own website lists the wrong name for the character of Zack.
Anyway, there are some convenient events to maintain the spirit of Christmas… or something… but this was way too convoluted for the ol’ crown to pull off.
Hard pass.
Classic Christmas movie tropes:
Ugly Christmas sweaters
Classic red truck
Tons of Christmas trees

You won’t. Don’t force it.

Lori Jo’s love for Christmas takes her on a road trip to Yuletide Springs with her roommate Tori, where Christmas is celebrated year-round, to participate in a longstanding town tradition to honor her late grandmother. Along the way, the friends meet Carl and Jason, and the foursome make stops during their journey to enjoy more small-town Christmas attractions. But when a series of events puts a damper on their plans, a little Christmas magic may put this trip back on the right path. Starring Katherine Barrell, Cindy Busby, Corey Sevier and Matt Wells.
