Hallmark's major disaster of a Countdown to Christmas opener

 



Hallmark has had 1 disaster year. Most of their new movies this year were either full blown woke, or had woke themes in them, their live ratings have gone way down since January because more and more people are realizing their new movies are not 100% trustworthy, their new 'talent' is either boring or can't act their way out of a paper bag, they lost many of their most popular actors (including their highest rated one) to their competition, they think tying their actors to exclusive deals that basically hold them hostage to the network for a couple years is the answer to keep from losing them, and oh yeah, the start to the yearly tradition that everyone looks forward to, is a woke dumpster fire.

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)


Gay couple, and I actually wanted to watch this one. That pisses me off.

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.).


Not clear on if there was woke themes in this one, but this sounded really dumb when it aired.

Ratings: 1,669 million viewers.

And here's what their HMM movies have done:


This one is actually a fully clean one! Not kidding, it's actually clean and worth watching!!

Ratings: 781 thousand viewers (yowch. But that's kind of what both networks get for betraying their fans all year).


It's clean, but the ending of this just doesn't work for it.

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:
