The holidays are a time for indulgence, and what better way to indulge than with the ultimate guilty pleasure - Hallmark Movies. Known for the corny, predictable (and actually formulaic) scripts, they have an uncanny ability to take your mind off of everything else. Whether baking cookies, cleaning the house, and wrapping presents, Hallmark Movies make for light viewing that will always put you in a festive mood. Some of our favorites are those that feature a specific and often iconic holiday destination. Strategically, the channel often partners with local tourism boards to promote and feature the most eye-catching sites on offer.
Some of our favorites include:
Christmas in Rome
Christmas in Notting Hill (UK)
Christmas in Vienna
My Sweet Austrian Holiday
A Biltmore Christmas (Asheville, NC)
‘Tis the Season to Be Irish
Norwegian Holiday
Christmas Island (Nova Scotia)
The Christmas Quest (Iceland)
Christmas in Tahoe (Nevada)
A Heidelberg Holiday (Germany)
A Castle for Christmas (Scotland, with Brooke Shields)
Watch: On the Hallmark Channel; a few are on Netflix (but hurry and watch them before the end of the year as they are leaving Netflix).
