Podcast in a Pear Tree: Christmas Movie ReviewsTime for alpacas, Christmas reality tv and Die Hard actionIt's our last episode for 2024, and we had a manageable list of movie debut options coming into the mid-weekend of December premieres that somehow had a different mix of movie tropes from cocktails to sustainable fashion. We review a Hanukkah-focused film on Hallmark (Hanukkah on the Rocks) and The Santa Class, Lifetime's offerings with The Holiday Junkie and Christmas on the Alpaca Farm, Get Him Back for Christmas on GAC, and a surprise new release find on Netflix. Before diving into the films, we also tackle Hallmark's reality show Finding Mr. Christmas.2024-12-2828 minPodcast in a Pear Tree: Christmas Movie ReviewsMystic Santas, Lopez dimples, and no snacks (yikes)We kick-off our episode with a festive visit to the first ever Los Angeles Christmas Market in Downtown Los Angeles. But it's down to business as we tackle all sorts of tropes in the films that debuted the second week of December, including Sugarplummed and Leah's Perfect Gift from Hallmark, How to Fall in Love by Christmas and A Very Merry Beauty Salon from Lifetime, Nutcrackers on Hulu, and of course, Once Upon a Christmas Gift (GAC).2024-12-2128 minPodcast in a Pear Tree: Christmas Movie ReviewsLiLo and the 90s do Christmas for ThanksgivingWe finally review all the films from Thanksgiving Weekend, and there were definitely too many!

Plus, have you ever wondered what your desert island Christmas song would be? Well you'll be thinking about it as we discuss the premieres from films right before the Thanksgiving holiday, including Netflix's Christmas spicy film The Merry Gentlemen, the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance inspired Christmas film on Lifetime, Christmas in the Spotlight, and others like Sincerely, Truly Christmas (Lifetime), Three Wiser Men and a Boy (Hallmark), Little Women’s Christmas (Great American Christmas), and To Have and to Holiday (Hallmark). 2024-12-0824 minPodcast in a Pear Tree: Christmas Movie ReviewsDiners, quilts, and awkward mistletoes... some of the best films of the season have arrivedWe had some of the best movies of the season in this latest episode!

Christmas, but not by muchWe want to root for Lifetime with this film, but we're left torn between blatant overseen details with the cooking competition backdrop yet heartwarming family feels of a family reconnection.

While we wish Lisa Loeb was more than a cameo, the multi-generational interactions will keep you laughing.2022-12-2520 minPodcast in a Pear Tree: Christmas Movie ReviewsA Christmas to Treasure (Lifetime) left us searchingA film about six friends reuniting for a Christmas treasure hunt? We really wanted to like it, but we got lost in... everything.2022-12-2518 minPodcast in a Pear Tree: Christmas Movie ReviewsYou don't have to choose with Your Christmas or Mine (Amazon)Hilarious chaos abounds in this home for Christmas switch in the UK which we found heartwarming and cute. We talk gilets, fit Steve and doggie antics.2022-12-2516 minPodcast in a Pear Tree: Christmas Movie ReviewsSorry, this was definitely not The Most Colorful Time of the Year (Hallmark)The title and premise are promising until you watch and realize its going in a direction that includes borderline stalking and possible HIPAA violations (not an exaggeration).2022-12-2217 minPodcast in a Pear Tree: Christmas Movie ReviewsMerry Textmas (Lifetime) has us dreaming of a colorful ChristmasA refreshing storyline in a new locale?
