Hallmark Channel is the home of holiday cheer thanks to its annual Countdown to Christmas — which just keeps getting bigger and better.
Every year, fans are treated to a variety of delightful holiday movies Lacey Chabert, Andrew Walker and more beloved actors. While the stories shown are different, there are many themes that are present in each film, including love, family and the spirit of Christmas.
“These films mean a lot to me. I'm really being honest when I say that,” Chabert exclusively said Us Weekly in October 2021. “They're not just jobs, and I feel a responsibility to the audience to make the absolute best movie I can.”
So what makes those movies great? Fake snow, tree lighting and more cliche moments that the viewers and we can't get enough of, obviously. Whether it's a man named Nick or a nod to the season via elaborate costumes, there's something you'll find in almost every Hallmark holiday movie.
