Here's how both network's new Christmas movies actually were like during mid October, and how they did in the live ratings: (it's not a pretty picture)
Lot of woke themes here: Mocking conservatives, vaguely referencing a woman's time of the month, and more. Only thing missing was a surprise gay couple.
Ratings: 1,737 million viewers (waaay down from last year)
Gay couple, nuff said.
Ratings: 1,891 million viewers. (still below 2 million).
Somewhat clean, but the 'magic' theme in this movie is a bit creepy.
Ratings: 1,696 million viewers
This so called 'sequel' literally spits on Hallmark's highest rated Christmas movie of all time: Christmas Under Wraps. Which COINCEDENTALY had Candace as the female lead!! Utterly revolting move.
Ratings: 1,764 million viewers. (should've been 0)
Ratings: 2,096 million viewers (just barely getting above 2 million is not good, especially when very few new movies throughout the year barely scratched the 2 million viewer surface.).
Ratings: 1,669 million viewers.
And here's what their HMM movies have done:
Ratings: 781 thousand viewers (yowch. But that's kind of what both networks get for betraying their fans all year).
Ratings: 755 thousand viewers.
And the worst part: There's 2 months left of movies left to air. Many more opportunities for woke themes or full on wokeness to be inserted, and more opportunities for the ratings to still be so low.
What used to be an amazing tradition, is now reduced to being a platform to mostly promote very un family friendly agendas (though, that became frightfully clear last year when way more of their new holiday movies went woke then usual. It just amplified all throughout this year).
---------------------------------
On a more comforting note, Great American Family has steadily grown from last year in ratings and is making more movies this year then they did last year! And it's on pace to become more likable then Hallmark if they keep making 1 trash movie after another!
I'll end this on an encouraging note. Here's the trailer for Candace's much anticipated 1st movie at GAF:
