Girls Gone Hallmark | Hallmark Movie Reviews

Jason Shannon is back, y'all. After seven years away, Steve Bacic returns opposite Lori Loughlin in Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder Takes the Stage, premiering Saturday, September 19, 2026 on Hallmark Mystery. We got a few minutes with Steve ahead of the premiere, and he was so generous with them. We talked about what it felt like to walk back onto that set after everyone had scattered, and about the one thing he'd really love to do in a future installment. (It involves a dance-off. We are fully on board.)

If you’re craving a classic fall Hallmark movie filled with pumpkin pie, small-town rivalries, and a little enemies-to-lovers romance, Pumpkin Pie Wars checks all the boxes. The 2016 Hallmark Channel movie stars Julie Gonzalo and Eric Aragon as Casey and Sam, the children of two feuding bakery owners who find themselves competing in the very same pumpkin pie contest that started their mothers’ rivalry years ago. Megan and Wendy review Pumpkin Pie Wars and discuss whether this autumn favorite deserves a spot on your cozy fall Hallmark movie watchlist.

Hallmark Channel is checking off just about every fall movie trope imaginable with Falling into Place, the newest movie in the 2026 Fall Into Love lineup. Kaia heads back home for a fall festival and her high school reunion, where she reconnects with childhood best friend James and the two decide it’s finally time to finish the fall bucket list they started years ago. Because apparently no unfinished business is more urgent than whatever autumnal activities have been sitting unchecked on that list. Apple picking? Hayrides? A suspiciously romantic pile of leaves? We have some guesses. Falling Into Place stars Alvina August and Nathan Witte, and Megan and Wendy are ready to find out whether Hallmark Channel can turn this trope-on-trope setup into the cozy fall movie we’ve been waiting for.

Megan sits down with Alvina August and Nathan Witte ahead of Falling Into Place, premiering Saturday, September 12 at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel. In this quick chat, they share how they built best friend chemistry before the cameras rolled, the fire pit scene they helped reshape (and the dance they added to it), the bucket list item that was hardest to pull off on set, and their own real-life bucket lists — one involves Japan, the other involves Celine Dion.

Falling For Vermont is a cozy 2017 Hallmark fall movie starring Julie Gonzalo and Benjamin Ayres, complete with small-town charm, autumn scenery, and a best-selling author who unexpectedly finds herself starting over. After losing her memory, Angela takes refuge in a picturesque Vermont town where a local doctor and his family help her piece together who she is - and perhaps discover what she really wants. We’re talking amnesia, fall festivals, sweet small-town romance, and some memorable thrift-store fashion along the way.

Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Prelude to a Wedding brings Gethsemane and Eamon back for another supernatural whodunit - this time with a wedding, a messy group of longtime friends, and, naturally, a dead member of the bridal party. Tamera Mowry-Housley and Risteard Cooper return for the fourth installment in the Hallmark Mystery franchise, and while we still love this ghostly crime-solving duo, we have some thoughts about where this series is headed - and whether it might finally be time to stop killing people and start talking to more ghosts.

Some Hallmark movies win us over. This one had us from the wrapped brown paper. Blind Date Book Club stars Erin Krakow as a Nantucket bookshop owner weighing whether to keep the store her mother left her, and Robert Buckley as the bestselling author who shows up to pitch his new novel to her book club under a name that is not quite his. We both gave it 4.5 stars, and we are still not over how neatly it pulls off the exact thing it spends the first act criticizing. Here is our full review.

Tamera Mowry-Housley joins Megan ahead of the premiere of Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Prelude to a Wedding (Saturday, September 5 at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel). She tells us how she really learned to play the violin for Gethsemane Brown, where she lands on the Griff vs. Detective O'Reilly love triangle, what a new director and new writers changed on movie number four, and why this one plays like a locked-room mystery. Plus, a little intel about the Christmas movie she's shooting with Kris Polaha — and her very concise review of her co-star.

To watch or not to watch? For Hallmark’s newest Fall Into Love premiere, there is no question - we are very excited about this one. Much About Love premieres Saturday, August 29, and takes a page straight from the Bard, giving Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing a modern Hallmark makeover. Ashley Williams stars as a TV director who returns to her theater roots for a Shakespeare festival, only to find herself once again trading barbs - and perhaps falling in love - with an old flame played by Niall Matter. Lend us your ears as we review Much About Love and find out whether all’s well that ends well for Hallmark’s latest literary adaptation.

Plus, are we suddenly shipping Annabelle and Marcos? Six episodes, three exes and two countries later, Chelsea finally has her answer - and we have thoughts.

Hallmark Channel officially kicks off Fall Into Love 2026 with Love Finds You, starring Aimee Teegarden and Chris McNally. Teegarden plays Alex, a jewelry designer who receives a mislabeled package and becomes convinced the contents point her toward her ideal man. Enter Jack (McNally), the delivery driver who gets roped into a citywide hunt for the rightful owner and, naturally, helps Alex figure out what she actually wants along the way. It's a scavenger-hunt rom-com premise, which is one of our favorite Hallmark structures when it works, because it forces two people into a car together and gives them somewhere to go. We'll get into whether the search pays off, whether the package gimmick holds up for a full 84 minutes, and how Aimee Teegarden's long-awaited Hallmark return lands.

Encouraged by Knightly to finally get answers about her past, Chelsea reunites with Marcos at his family's vineyard - but closure comes with an unexpected opportunity that could change everything back home.

Hallmark Channel wraps up its three-movie Hallmark Birthday Celebration lineup with Aussie at Heart, starring Rhiannon Fish and Daniel Lissing. Fish stars as Samara, a former lawyer turned event planner who heads to Queensland to plan a couple’s anniversary celebration - only to find herself working alongside Nate (Lissing), her former coworker, longtime rival, and a man with whom she clearly has some unfinished business. With an Australian backdrop, a rivals-to-lovers setup, and two familiar Hallmark stars at the center of it all, Aussie at Heart closes out Hallmark’s August birthday celebration. Our review will break down the chemistry, the Queensland scenery, and whether this final movie in the three-film lineup saved the best for last.

Episode four of Paris Is Always a Good Idea is called "Knightley," and it's the best one yet. We finally learn who Chelsea has been recording those voice memos for. We dig into the Sophie dinner, the backstory that made both of us emotional, Annabelle and Declan's complicated night, and the Eiffel Tower scene that had us screaming into our notes. Then we get to that ending. We also read a listener theory connecting this whole story to Jane Austen's Emma, and it's a good one.

If Hallmark wanted to grab our attention during its 25th Birthday Celebration, pairing fan favorite Kimberley Sustad with the long-awaited return of Jesse Metcalfe is certainly one way to do it. Add in a nostalgic '90s boy band reunion, beach concert vibes, and a music-filled romance, and this feels like one of the network's biggest swings of the year. Kimberley rarely misses, Jesse is back on Hallmark for the first time in years, and we're more than a little curious to see if this unexpected pairing can hit all the right notes.

There is no such thing as an emergency podcast when you cover Hallmark movies. This week got close. Megan was traveling the day all of this news dropped, frantically texting Wendy from the road while Wendy tried to figure out where any of it was even coming from. Hallmark Channel turned 25, and the network celebrated by telling us almost everything about Christmas. Between a sold-out birthday event at 92NY and a virtual Television Critics Association panel, we got a Countdown to Christmas start date, three premiere dates, three brand-new movies, two Halloween movies and a new Hallmark+ series.

Hallmark’s Summer Nights continues with Toast to Italy, premiering August 1 and pairing Hallmark favorite Will Kemp with Torrey DeVitto for a romance set among Italy’s vineyards. When Jenny travels overseas in search of a legendary bottle of “Love Wine” for her sister’s wedding, she crosses paths with Arrigo, who’s on the very same mission. Naturally, the search for one famous bottle turns into a journey of self-discovery, breathtaking scenery, and maybe even a little romance of their own. Join us as we uncork Hallmark’s latest European adventure to see whether this vintage is worth savoring – or if it should have stayed in the cellar.
