Absolutely no joke I would watch this all the way through.

The biggest complaint about Hallmark is how they lack creativity and every plot is the same. I feel like the missing piece to their formula is absurdism. Like a love child between the princess switch 2: switched again meets sharknado.

Yeah. I'm imagining Sharknado production levels and Sharknado pacing, but following the Hallmark formula, and with really mundane absurdist details.

  • Those fragile little precious moments figurines and limited edition Star Trek ornaments need to be a recurring favored snack for the competing love interests who are lovable but wrong for our heroes.
  • One of those little Christmas village decorations sets needs to turn out to be an undiscovered life saving medication, when ground down to a fine glittery paste. Feeding it to someone's niece gives her the strength to learn to walk again.
  • Someone's talent for cross stitch needs to solve a decades old mystery about someone else's estranged and now tragically dead parent.
  • A poorly gifted and then ignored-for-years art set needs to be part of the big "they truly love me" reveal moment.

I think we have a potential masterpiece, here.
