Eric and Andrea review Forgotten Holiday, the Hallmark Countdown to Christmas movie starring Janel Parrish and Daniel Lissing. Eric thinks it will be hard to beat as the best movie of the year. Andrea started at three stars and, by the end of the conversation, had talked herself down to two and a half.

What You'll Hear:

• Mystery news: Curious Caterer is coming back in 2027, and Hannah Swensen is headed to Malta with Victor Webster along for the trip

• A Winter Wonderlanes follow-up, where 69% of poll voters landed on one star, plus whether a zero-star rating is ever on the table

• Why Andrea loved the first twelve minutes and then couldn't get past a family asking Kathryn to re-date Rob after she ran from his proposal

• Why Eric calls it well written and authentic, from the meet cute and the cookie-making scene to the Ingrid Michaelson "Winter Song" moment

• The slow vs. slow burn argument, a charity invitation that looked made in Canva, and Andrea's real-life gala auction story

• Standout scenes: Gabrielle Rose as Rob's mom and the Christmas Eve pancake talk with Kathryn's dad

• Amnesia movie recommendations, including Falling for Vermont, Single on the 25th, and the 2013 Hallmark Hall of Fame drama Remember Sunday

• Trivia on Daniel Lissing's surfing, Janel Parrish's third-place Masked Singer run, and how rare localized amnesia actually is

• Audience poll results for Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story and Mr. & Mrs. Christmas, plus an early verdict on The Nights Before Christmas
