If you’ve ever met me you know I love Hallmark Christmas movies. I watch them year round and get so excited when new flicks start showing every October. Part of the charm of these movies is that they manage to contain every single trope and cliche imaginable. But I love that they always end on a happy note and I’m certainly a fan of cute Christmas towns and cheesy love stories.
Several years ago (I think eight or nine???) I was on a girls trip with my college besties and my sister and we ended up watching some Hallmark movies one evening, which led to the creation of our very own version of the Hallmark Christmas Movie Drinking Game. Proceed with caution. If you drink something stiff, you might black out. Here are our “official” rules.
Take a healthy swig of eggnog (or wine, Bailey’s, whatever floats your boat) each time you see the following:
- A winter scene that was clearly filmed in the middle of summer
- Cookie baking
- DJ Tanner
- A house belonging to a store clerk (book store, pet store, jewelry store, toy store, candy store, etc.), teacher, baker or small town reporter that carries a mortgage more suitable for a Fortune 500 CEO
- Bad acting (might want to have a bucket handy or sit near a toilet)
- A child actor with no future in the business
- Fake snow
- Unconvincing kiss
- Loosely curled extensions
- A Christmassy name (Holly, Noelle, Nick)
- A clumsy stumble resulting in a fall into each others’ arms
- Motherless child
- Bows haphazardly stuck to kitchen cabinets
- Canadian accent
