Mistletoe Murders is back for Season 3, and Eric and Andrea review the premiere, "Don't Fear the Wreather, Part 1." Emily and Sam investigate a Fletcher's Grove wreath maker, played by Catherine Bell, who is accused of killing her husbands, while Violet and June try to talk Emily into staying in town. Andrea was sold the moment Catherine Bell appeared on screen. Eric is mostly concerned that Catherine Bell might turn out to be a murderer.

What You'll Hear:

• Why Fletcher's Grove feels like Cabot Cove, and why its eccentric townspeople are the reason this show works

• Catherine Bell's arrival, and why Eric missed her Sister, Sister years (he was busy watching JAG)

• The show skipping the usual Sam and Emily conflict, and Emily keeping him at arm's length anyway

• Brooke's total obliviousness, and why Kylee Evans is the opposite in real life

• Violet growing up instead of staying sixteen forever

• A serious professional inquiry: is wreath maker a full-time job?

• Two standout scenes: Famous Ray running unopposed for mayor, and a loaded conversation with Emily's ex (Aaron Ashmore)

• What the hosts want from the rest of the season, including more romance and more of Sam on the actual case

• Whodunit predictions with zero screener spoilers

Andrea and Eric review A Danish Christmas, the new Hallmark Countdown to Christmas movie starring Emilie Ullerup and Corey Sevier. Marie comes home to her family's inn in Copenhagen, mistakes a guest named Ryan Miller for a travel writer, and builds an entire hygge tour to impress him. It's a movie that runs almost entirely on feeling rather than plot, and both hosts walked away calling it their favorite of the season so far. The star rating still got renegotiated halfway through the episode.

What You'll Hear:

• Why Corey Sevier's easygoing Ryan might be his best Hallmark performance, with none of the usual curmudgeon edge

• A mistaken identity plot that gets resolved like grown-ups, no silly fight required

• Andrea's Norwegian roots and the Scandinavian traditions she now wants to try at home

• Corey's shirtless scene streak, which is now two movies running

• The rushed promotion conflict and a finale that heads for the airport and ends up at the market

• Standout scenes: the panic attack at the top of the tower and the real Ryan Miller showing up

• Danish Christmas trivia, from Julemanden in Greenland to risalamande with the hidden almond and real candles on the tree

• Eric's ten principles of hygge, which handed Andrea a few months of yoga class material

• Next week's picks: Holiday Unplugged and A Season of Promises

Adopting St. Nick, starring Amy Groening and Michael Rady, is a Christmas movie that aired on Halloween. So was it a trick or a treat? Andrea gives it four out of five stars and calls it her favorite of the 2026 season so far (and she is not handing out fives this year). Eric thinks it might be the most complete traditional Hallmark movie of the year: real stakes, a Santa who may or may not be Santa, and a lead actress who has more than earned the spot.

Before they get there, Eric and Andrea also weigh in on Friday's Who's Coming for Christmas? with Rhiannon Fish and Jake Foy, and whether a movie about a dinner table can carry a whole story.

What You'll Hear:

• Andrea's 2.5 star verdict on Who's Coming for Christmas? and the one song that would have bumped it up a full star

• Why the Adopting St. Nick poster sells a completely different movie than the one that aired

• How a small-town hardware store and a batch of Christmas rosettes hit close to home for Andrea

• Why the adoption storyline and the line "you're special because you were chosen" landed for Eric

• Eric's case that Amy Groening has solidified her place as a Hallmark lead

• The two things that bugged them: an ugly sweater contest where everybody wins, and yet another near kiss

• A standout pick no one saw coming (Andrea chose a building)

• Movie recommendations: Project Christmas Wish, The Christmas Secret, and Long Lost Christmas

• Trivia, including Amy Groening's family connection to The Simpsons, plus poll results and IMDb scores
