Netflix is cranking out new romantic holiday content to emulate Hallmark’s successful low-cost, easy-to-watch entertainment formula with help from Lindsay Lohan.
Have you ever watched a holiday rom-com on Hallmark Channel or Lifetime — or any of the other many networks and streamers that now air them — and thought,"I could write that"? It's harder than you may think — but just as fun.
People are also reading… It can be challenging, however, to get into the mindset of Christmas when life outside doesn't match the world you're creating. Rick Garman, who wrote the 2023 Hallmark Channel hit film"Christmas on Cherry Lane," along with its three sequels this year for Hallmark+, often writes Christmas movies in June.
"If you look at the hundreds and hundreds of Christmas movies over the last several years, it is tricky to come up with a different idea or a new twist on an old idea or a classic," said Cara Russell, an executive producer of"Christmas Under the Northern Lights," which debuted on Great American Family in November.
Telling different storiesWeinman credits Hallmark Channel for branching out in recent years with their Christmas content. Movies & TV Hallmark film 'Holiday Touchdown' turns actors into big Kansas City Chiefs fans "I got to release everything anyone in my family has ever said or done that's funny or touching or just culturally significant to Hanukkah," Sherman Wolfe said."I just threw it all into that, but then somehow found some more stuff for"Hanukkah on the Rocks.'"
And, in the world of TV movies about Christmas, bad guys aren't"an outright villain or a caricature," Russell said.
