Your Terrible Christmas Film Recommendations

Successful but uptight big city lawyer (other professions also available) finds her/himself in a small town, possibly with nefarious plans to build an evil shopping mall. S/he initially scorns the lovable, if slightly cooky, natives because they go all out for Christmas and are just darn decent types.

Then they meet a hot local lumberjack/doctor/schoolteacher who helps them discover The True Meaning of Christmas. :hmm:
Hallmark blundered badly last year and actually made a watchable funny Xmas movie with an original plot.
It's called the Santa Summit, ML is an architect, FL is a schoolteacher who both go on the Santa Summit which is essentially a pub crawl with hundreds of people dressed as Santa. They meet and totally click but get separated before they swap contact details or even names.
Aided by their friends they then try and find each other amongst hundreds of drunken fools in Santa suits.

I think you've seen more of these than you're letting on Sue. :hmm:

Although not set at Christmas, I think this is the ancestor of all such films:

I certainly don't think it's terrible, but admit I may be in the minority. Sir Humphrey Appleby tries to convince evil QVC boss, Whoopi Goldberg, to amend her selfish, unseasonal ways

Reactions: Sue
She breaks down in the snow and is saved by the Christmas tree farmer whose farm is at risk by the big shopping mall wanting his land! 😍
It never ceases to amaze me the number of American small towns that are able to support their entire economy on this one annual festival.

Mrs Q and I love them, they're visual candy floss than you can watch and feel good about. Arms manufacturers must have a very thin time of it in the Hallmarkverse where the worst side of humanity is gone.
Plus you can nip the loo or out to make a cuppa without missing any of the plot.
