I love to watch Christmas movies in November and December and some of my favorite ones are Hallmark movies. I find that Hallmark movies are either super cute and fun to watch, or super boring and don’t keep my interest at all. One thing I love about all Hallmark movies is that they end well and are happy.
I’ve watched plenty of them in the last few years and made a list for you of the 18 best Hallmark Christmas Movies. One of the things that can make or break these movies for me is who the actresses in them are. I get so excited when I know the actress because that usually means I will like the movie.
Here are my favorite movies:
