Movie Review:
Christmas Love and Fudge is clean and quite sweet. -Maria
Christmas Love and Fudge â€" I agree with Maria’s review; this movie is family-friendly and very sweet. The female lead, Amanda (Erin Karpluk), is quirky and cheerful, and her opposite, Simon (Christopher Russell), is a lot of fun! The two team up to uncover the secret ingredients behind Simon’s Aunt Jackie’s Joy to the World Fudge recipe.
It's just good, cozy comfort entertainment. The heart of the story was all about the fudge and their amazing teamwork, which, of course, leads to love. This ended up being a lighthearted, delightful watch. ~Net

I hope you find one or more of the new movies to enjoy this weekend!
I'm personally looking forward to seeing... both Great American Family movies - Chasing Christmas and Another Sweet Christmas! Of course, with such wonderful actors as Candace Cameron Bure, Cameron Mathison, Trevor Donovan, and Jillian Murray, I already have a feeling these movies are going to be something really special!
Plus, based on Jane's lovely review above, I'm also looking forward to seeing Christmas with the Knightlys on UPtv!
Cautions: Based on the storyline released so far, it appears that the Hallmark movie A Make or Break Holiday may depict a couple who are living together but are not married. Please know, I'm not 100% certain about this. My assumption is simply based on the promo details we have, and things will be clearer, of course, once the movie airs.
The new Hallmark movie, The Christmas Baby, feautures a same-sex female couple adopting a baby.
Also, I want to caution that UPtv’s The Best Thing About Christmas has more emotionally heavy themes. From the story description, the film addresses adult subject matter involving the loss of a young child. However, the story also offers a message of hope, following a grieving father who searches for meaning and healing and ultimately turns to his faith.
Please note: I haven’t pre-screened the NEW movies mentioned above, other than Sweet Holiday Romance. (You can find mine and Maria's reviews above.) If you happen to watch any of the new Christmas movies and would like to share your thoughts, please stop back by and leave a review in the comments. I always love hearing what you think!
