Are you a holiday Meet Cute movie trope-watcher? Do you have a personal mental checklist that you mark off every time a seemingly innocuous special Christmas gift (a snow globe, advent calendar, or stocking) starts messing with the lead character’s life? Do you lean forward on your sofa when a seemingly innocuous older person (especially when played by an actual star, past or present) seems to know too much about the workaholic protagonist’s life? Or do you just groan and go get another drink when the ex who dumped the lead character in the first 15 minutes suddenly shows up to propose — and the new love interest overhears just enough to cause a Big Misunderstanding?

If so, make it official with these bingo games. (Which also provide cover if you’re a closeted binge-watcher.) Just remember the “Candace Cameron Bure BINGO” is not that lovely actress’s real name.

Deck the Hallmark podcast bingo cards – These cards are unusual in two ways. You’ll need to provide your email address to receive the cards. And these bingo cards are best suited for listening to the podcast, rather than watching the movies, as some cells celebrate the quirks of the three podcasters. Best cell: “Ice Sculpture Contest Fiasco.” Candace Cameron Bure mentioned? Yep.

Addie Ziernan’s blog – 10 bingo cards. Best entry: “weather-inappropriate winter clothing” since these movies are filmed all year ‘round, and it shows in how the characters rock their outerwear. Candace Cameron Bure mentioned? You bet.

The Federalist Hallmark bingo game – required reading for trope-watchers, as they go into some detail about facets of the genre like product placement and overzealous house decorating. (Many of these movies feature middle class working parents living in homes and neighborhoods that look like… the work of a professional set decorator.) Candace Cameron Bure mentioned? Not by name, but there’s a cell for “TV star of bygone era.”

Milwaukee Journal Sentinal Hallmark bingo cards – Generate and download up to five cards. Best cell: “City slicker endures small town.” Good coverage of jerk boyfriends and Big Misunderstandings. Candace Cameron Bure mentioned? Covered under “Recognize actor from sitcom.”

For some of us, holiday movie season is the most wonderful time of the year.

But as any true fan knows, it’s been wonderful for more than a month already. The Hallmark Channel and its sister network, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, have been making spirits bright since late October, when the first of 40 new holiday movies debuted. Hallmark fans, who are legion, couldn’t be happier.

One of the season’s first offerings, “One Royal Holiday” — which happens to star Minnesota’s Laura Osnes — was watched by more than 3 million people, according to Nielsen ratings. The network estimates that 36 million have watched at least part of a holiday movie already this year.

The soothing-yet-predictable formula of the movies is just the ticket during the chaotic holidays, even without a pandemic. Those of us who religiously tune in don’t expect a cinematic masterpiece. We do expect a few hours of escape — and for everyone to live happily ever after.

Proving its popularity, Hallmark Christmas movies are the subject of several podcasts, both serious and satirical, and a variety of products that include everything from a special edition of Monopoly to popcorn bowls, blankets, slippers, sweatshirts, socks, mugs and wine glasses. We are a proud bunch, given to all things cozy.

As we head into the holiday-movie home stretch, if you need a little pick-me-up, grab a cup of hot chocolate and play our Hallmark movie bingo. No conflict, no regrets and everyone wins. Just like a Hallmark movie. □
