A miscommunication leads to heartache or hijinks.Character(s) don’t believe in Santa…but he’s REAL.Character’s business is on its last chance.

Was in a TV show as a child/teen (I’m looking at you, Lacey Chabert, Candice Cameron Bure, and Danica McKellar)Īnd the storyline has at least one of these themes:.

Has a family tragedy in the past around the holidays.

Is a townie who loves the small town they grew up in and never left.

Character was/is successful in the big city.

Cute career (hat maker, bridal shop owner, professional shopper-not “normal’ jobs).

Starts the movie with a different love interest.

Has a love interest at the start of the movie that’s a jerk.

The leads seem to have at least one of these characteristics in the movie (or real life): Or, be like the people in the movies and craft them from scratch if you have the time. If you want to try your hand at making some cards yourself, I used (there are other bingo card maker websites out there too). And, they’re playing on two channels: both the Hallmark Channel AND the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel. Hallmark is playing them every night of the week right now (yippee!) as part of their annual Countdown to Christmas. (Our attorneys would probably like me to remind you that TDS is not encouraging that kind of thing 🙂 ) How to find a movieįinding a movie is literally the easiest part of this game. All ages could use holiday candy as edible markers (Hershey’s Kisses, perhaps?) or holiday stickers if you want to keep the sugar to a minimum.įor adults: Turn on a movie and make it a party game using some adult beverages.

I think it’s an approach that should please big Hallmark Movie fans AND those who love to hate them.įor families: Print off a batch of cards and leave them on the coffee table so you and anyone else can grab one and play along any day of the week. Rather than numbers in the bingo squares, you’ll find words and phrases representing the many common elements found in these holiday flicks (you’ll find five different cards at the end of this blog). I give you Christmas Movie Bingo! (Plus one more bonus idea, so keep reading.) The Game I have to admit though, not everyone in my house shares my affection (you too?)-but I think I have a way to fix that…or at least make my family grumble less when I have one on. Last year I came clean and told everyone that I love Hallmark Christmas movies.
