Absolutely. I'm looking for any means possible to swap modernity for joy. Christmas markets instead of Black Friday shopping. Tea time instead of Starbucks, vinyl instead of Spotify. And stories, always, over the news.
This sounds so ridiculous I have to see it now. And I'm much like your brother; I've seen probably 8 romance movies this particular century. But it's sure better than doomscrolling, every time.
Oh my gosh I love this. Yes to all these things. I struggle with made-for-TV holiday romances, but not for any of the things you brought up. I like the tropiness and the silliness and humor. I think if I'm honest, I struggle with...the hotness? lol. The youths hehe. In other words, this is me saying that if you come across any of these holiday romances about middle-aged or old people, LET ME KNOW.
And in that vein, yes PLEEEEEASE Hot Grinch. Played by someone like Bill Nighy! I've got it all planned...
YES! Look, sometimes something of value can just be... fun. Have you seen Meet Me Next Christmas? It's all the joy and silliness of a Christmas movie and I think it does a good job of winking at while fully embracing silly tropes. Also the band Pentatonix play super silly singing matchmakers and the main characters compete in a drag ball. 5/5 Sleigh Bells from me.
I started watching this tonight, but stopped after like 10min. Did not feel it. But the new movie with Lohan "Our Little Secret", that one was great! 😁
I really liked Hot Frosty, too! Especially the intense sheriff. "But... there hasn't been a murder in town for more than a hundred years!" "You're welcome!" :D
Love it!! I learned so much from my experience writing steamy romance under a pen name. I became a far better writer because of tropes and learning how to write to market. 💕
woops, that is not the picture book illustration - that is an old holiday fan art for Christmas vacation. I'll have to share the picture book drawing next time

Yes to tea time! I try to make it part of my routine as often as i can

Lol they're definitely middle aged in hot frosty!
Hahaha still too hot ;) But…ok maybe I’ll give it a chance…
The silliness really REALLY cools the heat, i promise 😄
Lol glad to hear. I just prefer genuinely quirky looking actors and actresses, ya know? But I've heard only good things about this one.

Pentatonix!?! Yes please!

Gasp! She has a new one!?!
She is in the mode at Netflix 😉
I watched Hot Frosty with my husband last night, and it was a hoot. I love cheesy holiday romances and this one was fun. Very silly. Lots of laughs.
An absolute hoot! And so sincere in how much it WANTS the viewer to have a hoot, you know? So great

Lol him and his deputy were amazing
Yeah! I loved the throwaway at the end where they sing at the keyboard!

I believe it 1000%! was this for scripts or books?
For books! I wrote novellas and short stories. “All the feels in half the time.” 💃🏻
omg amazing haha LOVE that tagline!
Aw, thanks for the mention Meaghan! Love your work.
