Four days before Christmas, Elizabeth receives a voicemail from a number she doesn't recognize from a man who makes one final plea to the love of his life. Starring:  Holland Roden, Tyler Hynes, Tenille Townes  Image:  Hallmark Media Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas Is a Compelling Story The movie plot combines tragedy, triumph, love, and mystery--there's a lot going on to keep the viewer engaged.  Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas also uses my favorite trope:  The Misunderstanding .

A Royal Queens Christmas Plot Summary   A prince finds his way to Queens during Christmas when a local woman enlists his help with a children's show. Starring :  Megan Park and Julian Morris (2021) Image:  Crown Media Who Is Julian Morris? Hallmark "royal" movies are in no short supply, but you never know when an actor is faking an accent or when it's authentic.  Either way, accents are definitely attractive.  In the case of Julian Morris, the English accent is the real deal. Though his mother is from Zimbabwe, and his father is from South Africa, Morris was born and raised in London and grew up in the Jewish faith. Through the years, Morris has starred in movies with big names like Vanessa Redgrave, Liam Neeson, Susan Sarandon, Reese Witherspoon, Steve Carell, and Jennifer Aniston.  He's definitely no rookie, even though Hallmark has only recently cast him in both A Royal Queens Christmas and The Presence of Love . Morris has a strong presence.  Without his in

The Nine Kittens of Christmas Plot Summary Zachary and Marilee are thrown back together at Christmas when they're tasked with finding homes for a litter of adorable kittens. Starring :  Brandon Routh, Kimberley Sustad, and Gregory Harrison Image:  Crown Media Hallmark Throws an Interesting Curve Ball One thing is guaranteed with every Hallmark movie:  the guy always gets the girl.  In 2014's The Nine Lives of Christmas , Zachary and Marilee ended up together, and until 2021, fans assumed their happy ending continued.
