A Midnight Kiss

It's the final episode of Season 2 of A Very Hallmark Christmas! Loree is joined by special guest Joseph Cohen to break down the typical run-of-the-mill holiday extravaganza "Memories of Christmas." Some highlights from a little town a couple of hours north of Detroit: boxes of money on porches, apple cider donuts, and a confusing marshmallow flirtation game. 

Loree is joined by special guest Kayla Young to discuss "A Midnight Kiss," suspect seafood orders, and giant champagne inflatables. Plus, David's intense mansplaining and Mia's veil of perma-sadness. 

Loree is joined by special guests Gabe Wohl and Dan Lattanzi to discuss "A Christmas for the Books." Serious questions include: is Joanna 20 or 50? Does Ted's reimagining of a famous Hamlet line ring true to the source material? Will Dell ever find true love with some spreadsheets? Is there such a thing as like at first sight? Let's get nutcrackin'!

Loree is joined by special guest (and former boss!) Tara Mastrelli to discuss "Northern Lights of Christmas." The two talk potentially magical reindeer, a curious coat switch, and Zoey's dubious financial decisions. Plus, a love letter that angers Loree to her core. 

Loree invites back to the show frequent guest Rob Bricken to talk about "When Calls the Heart: The Greatest Christmas Blessing." Rob didn't watch the movie!

It's the first-ever "A Very Hallmark Christmas" cross-pod! Loree is joined by Mark and Jess of Hallmark and Jess (psst–find them on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts) to discuss "Christmas Bells are Ringing." The team digs into photo opps in Cape Cod, Mike's citywide "Elf on a Shelf" project, and sadistic work-related competitions. Plus, a deep dive into Happy the Dog and Happy the Cat.

Loree is joined by special guest Tim Ward to discuss this year's Danica McKellar-starrer, "Christmas at Grand Valley." Select hot topics on the pod include: the Grand Valley school system, Cousin Mike's lightning hot chemistry with literally everyone, and the state of the art scene in Chicago. 

Loree is joined by Jake Jarvis to discuss "Christmas Made to Order" and the logistics of sustaining a full-time, year-round holiday decorating business. Plus, the wisdom of ditching pre-med to pursue singing dreams in Utah and how Gretchen might decide to use her professional talents for West Virginia Day.

Brandi Bradley and Jamie Lynn Crofts join Loree to break down "Jingle Around the Clock." The team discusses college friends, illicit elevator hand-holding, and whether or not Jared Kushner did the honorable thing by stepping aside to give Elle a real shot for the job. 

Loree is joined by special guest Jamie Lynn Crofts to discuss "A Small Town Christmas," Peter Thiel-libertarians, and the status of the patriarchy in Springdale, Wisconsin. Plus, Emmett's gorgeous gravelly voice and the podcast takes questions from West Virginia listeners. This episode is sponsored by champagne.
