047 A Maple Valley Christmas TV Movie 2022 Review

Folks, it's that time of year again when the Hallmark movie channel really shines. The rest of the year they try to bring it with other seasonal-themed, predictable plot-lined love stories, but many of us just scroll on by as we flip around for something else to watch. But it takes a real Scrooge to resist the power of a Christmas-themed Hallmark romance. Other stations try to compete and some of them do a fine job, even stealing away headlining actors from the Hallmark channel (I'm looking at you Great American Family Channel), causing quite a stir. Streaming networks and Primetime TV have even come to play, bring some A-list (okay, B-list) names to the game -- but don't fall into this trap -- more choices doesn't mean better choices. So in picking a holiday romance to recap/review, Gretchen and Dennis decided to stick with a Hallmark origianl, "A Maple Valley Christmas". It's got all of the required elements - a couple of singles, a small town, a Christmas celebration and lots and lots of snow! And, of course, mistletoe!!
