Hollysnark (with a side of Bauble)

Merry Christmas!  OK, not quite yet, but we're so close we think it counts.  And for this most Hallmark time of the year we have a gift for you - Three Wiser Men and a Boy, the sequel to last year's Three Wise Men and a Baby (which we deemed the best of 2024).

In which we are LIVE FROM HALLMARK HEADQUARTERS (sort of - the hotel nearby which we still think counts) and instead of rising to the challenge and recording our best work instead Holly forgets to plug in the microphone and it takes us several takes to get through the recording, thus continuing to set a low bar.  But we discuss The Finnish Line and you, dear listeners, get to hear the Christmas Go...

You guys, it's not even mid-December and we're already at episode 5.  It's like we're real podcasters.  I fully expect us to fall apart any moment now.  This episode we're reviewing the charming Confessions of a Christmas Letter. Next up - Three Wiser Men and a Boy.  And also, maybe before that, maybe after that, maybe all at the same time, it's our big trip to Kansas...

In which we review a 2024 Hallmark gem called Jingle Bell Run.  Also in which due to my masterful editing only the most discerning of listeners will be able to tell when we were interrupted by a phone call.  Professionalism?  Never heard of it.  Next up will be Confessions of a Christmas Letter.

Join us as we review Holiday Crashers and give Hallmark a quick rundown on legal malpractice.  I also just realized that the Holiday Crashers title works pretty well with the ambulance chaser sub-plot, so am happy to say I'm still deepening my analysis of the sophisticated script.

We're finally ready (or at least one of us is) to tell you our exciting Season 4 news!  But first you have to make it through another episode.  This time we're reviewing Holiday Mismatch.  And no, we don't know yet what we're doing next but you'll be the first to know.

We're back with a whole new season of Hollysnark.  We decided to kick off the season with a controversial one, Our Holiday Story, which Bauble likes more than Holly.  In a surprise twist ending we're actually going to tell you what we're watching next:  Holiday Mismatch.  Will it be naughty or nice?  Listen and find out!

We're getting pretty deeply into the new Christmas season, so let's forget that it hasn't even been Halloween yet and just go with it.  We're reviewing the 2024 blockbuster 'Twas the Date Before Christmas for all of you who thought it might be a good idea to bring a blind date home for Christmas Eve this year.  Spoiler alert - it isn't a good idea, it's a GREAT i...

In which we review a new fall episode, The Heiress and the Handyman, and Holly expands Bauble's vocabulary along the way.  

In which we truck on through the Hallmark not so classic Shifting Gears and find it leaves a few skid marks.

It's Christmas in July, y'all!  And to celebrate, we are reviewing Christmas at Dollywood.  What could be better than Hallmark, you ask?  Hallmark with a side of Dolly, we say!

Holy pancakes - in a shocking departure, we review a Hallmark Murders and Mysteries episode (fittingly named Mystery 101).  And Holly and Bauble switch chairs, to boot.  So much chaos.  So never say that Holly and Bauble are in a rut.  Except of course when we are.  Which isn't this episode.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  You may want to listen to this little gem as you savor your margaritas.  We're reviewing Love and Jane, which was an absolute stinker of a Hallmark movie.  No, we don't know what's up next.  Someday we'll get out act together but today is not that day.

In which we review Napa Ever After and spend about half of the podcast talking up AAA for some reason.  

In which we post a very, very late entry to Loveuary (but technically recorded it on 2/29 so we think it counts) and really struggle to understand the plot of All Things Valentine but finally work it out in the end.  Next up - Napa Ever After!

In honor of Valentine's Day we have recorded a very special Loveuary episode.  Nah, just kidding.  Really we're just doing Christmas at the Plaza.  We're just not quite done with Christmas yet.  We promise we'll get around to Valentine's Day, but what's the hurry?  We just have the long dark winter of no Hallmark ahead of us so forgive us if we're not rushing.

We continue our overseas adventures for Season 3 with a delightful romp in Merry Old England and Christmas in Notting Hill.  Nope, we don't know what we're doing next or when, but stay tuned.

Happy 2024!  Start the new year off right with an episode of Hollysnark (with a side of Bauble).  We're reviewing My Norwegian Holiday and learning everything the Norwegian tourist board wants us to  - skol!

Merry Christmas!  In a holiday miracle, we're getting episode 2 uploaded a few hours before it's officially Christmas.  Here's hoping (or dreading?) that Season 3 ends up having more than 2 episodes, although it's not looking good given our recent pace or lack thereof.  But we have one of our favorites for you today - Holiday Road.  Enjoy!

We're back for Season 3!  Am I the only one shocked and delighted that Bauble has put up with this podcast for so long?  We're launching Season 3 with the perfect blend of Hallmark trademark silliness plus royalty with A Royal Christmas Crush.  

We bring you Never Been Chris'd, which may be Holly's least favorite Hallmark movie ever.  Enjoy her rage.

We're finally back after months and months.  And totally (not) worth the wait.  This time we present for you Check Inn for Christmas, and no, we don't know what we're doing next.  But I'm sure it'll be a doozy.

In which we finally get back to our holiday roots and do a proper Christmas in July podcast of A Song For Christmas.  Prepare to be jolly!  No idea what's next or when, so we'll surprise you at some point as I'm sure you're eagerly awaiting us.

In which we finally return to the podcast and review the somewhat problematic Love in Zion National movie while some of our four legged audience members did their best to interrupt us.  Join us next episode for a proper Christmas thrill with A Song for Christmas!

Apologies to our one fan as it's been a long gap, and might be another long gap, but here's the long-(un)awaited next episode which reviews Flip That Romance.  Stay tuned for news about what we're reviewing next, and keep your hopes appropriately low.
