It’s the highly anticipated Hallmark® Christmas Movie episode! We actually watched and rated 3 movies each. The rating criteria came from a contest, where the winner would get paid to rate several Hallmark movies. We didn’t get paid to rate these movies, but we did it anyway… FOR YOU, our listeners.
Each film was rated on a scale of 1 to 10 in each of these 5 categories for a possible total score of 50.
1. Festivity Factor
How much Christmas-filled cheer did the movie give you? Was it brimming with holiday spirit, lights, decorations, and snow?
2. Predictability Quotient

3. Chemistry Check

4. Tear-Jerker Test
