🍿 I’ve watched still more made-for-TV holiday movies:

  • Jingle Bell Run
  • Meet Me Next Christmas
  • Hot Frosty

Hot Frosty taught me that no matter how built a dude is, no matter how kind he is, if he’s a himbo, I will not find him attractive.

🍿 Watched Christmas on the Ranch.

I like this but he asks her to give up her life in New York and move to his ranch in Ohio before they even kiss. Bold.

🍿 I have watched more Hallmark and Hallmark-style autumnal movies:

  • October Kiss
  • Haunted Wedding
  • You Cast a Spell on Me

The most fun thing with these is recognizing people who had recurring roles on shows you love.

🍿 Watched Autumn at Apple Hill.

🍿 Watched Autumn at Apple Hill.

I wanted made-for-TV Christmas movie vibes without succumbing to the early Christmas fervor, because I adore autumn and Halloween. So I hunted around and found Autumn at Apple Hill, which checks so many boxes for this kind of movie:

✅ adorable small family business
✅ event planning
✅ charming small hometown
✅ workaholic Suit Man
✅ save the place!
✅ neighborhood holiday Halloween party
✅ developers hotel chain
✅ charming hotel
✅ guy she went to high school with

Is it fine art? Nope. Does it get the job done? It sure does.
