As the holidays are fast approaching, there are many things about this time of year to enjoy. For example, family get-togethers, yummy hot chocolate to warm up from the cold, friendsgivings, and decorating cookies with friends. However, one of my favorite things to do during this time of year is to wrap up in a warm blanket on the couch and settle in to watch Hallmark movies. Although usually predictable, Hallmark movies are a seasonal staple that the holidays would not be the same without. Having enjoyed watching these movies for as long as I can remember, I have favorites that I feel obligated to share.

Christmas Under Wraps

After first being released in 2014, this movie has become one of my favorites! Candace Cameron Bure is a recurring Hallmark actress, and this movie is one of her best!

A Dash of Love

This movie, which involves an aspiring chef who lands a dream job at her idol’s restaurant and befriends the handsome executive chef, gives you all the feels.
