@danicamckellar - What an amazing 2000s-themed night! (Do you like the Elle Woods-inspired 2000s look I ended up going with? 😋) #DanceParty2EndALZ was magical in every way. SO many friends coming together from both @gactv & @hallmarkchannel for an important cause, supporting @alzassociation. 💜 So many talented friends performed, and we raised $300K! Shout-out to founder @kimberlywilliamspaisley and powerhouse hosts @nikdeloach & @ashleywilliamsandcompany (how did we not get a pic together??). And what a treat to get a mini (comedy!) concert from the one and only @bradpaisley before the event. 🎸 . . Thank you to everyone who joined us in donating, and we can't wait for next year!! 💜 . . #alzheimers #2000sfashion #2000s #ElleWoods #legallyblonde 😁

Christmas on Cherry Lane (2023)

We have another Hallmark movie that is available on Netflix until the end of the month! I usually prefer to find stills from the movie, but I had to go with the cover art for this one because it's the only time all of our central characters are in the same place at the same time. This is a fun story of a house, 7 Cherry Lane to be exact, and the various families and their Christmases in the house. We have one from 1973, one from 1999, and one from 2023. They are interspersed throughout the film, but there are connections between them. For the sake of ease, we'll go in chronological order.

In 1973, Lizzie Hamilton (Erin Cahill) and John Hamilton (John Brotherton) are spending their second day in their new home decorating because it's also Christmas Eve and they want a quiet Christmas as Lizzie is two weeks out from her due date. Things become less quiet when Lizzie's mom Evelyn Sawyer (Lynda Boyd) and dad Frank Sawyer (Fred Henderson) show up unannounced and declare that they are staying for Christmas and have also invited Lizzie's brother Brett Sawyer (James Kot) who will come with his wife Olivia (Katherine Isabelle) and their son Peter (Ezra Wilson) and Lizzie's sister Vicky Baker (Darby Steeves) and her husband Steve (Julian Haig). Things go even more awry when John's shop gets broken into and he has to leave to meet Officer Greg Johnston (Garrett Black) during the blizzard to take care of it.

In 1999, Conrad Johnston (Matthias Falvai) and his sister Winnie (Veronica Long) arrive at their childhood home to have Christmas with their widowed mom Regina (Catherine Bell) and her fiancé Nelson (James Denton). However, when Conrad and Winnie find out that once they are married, Regina and Nelson plan to sell the house and retire to Florida, they get very upset. Conrad tries to relive their childhood memories that they had with their father to try to change Regina's mind, but Regina sees through this pretty quickly and loses patience for it when it interferes with her cooking. Conrad leaves to meet his friend Ivy (Eva Tavares) who is preparing to take in a foster child on Christmas Eve.

In 2023, Mike Harrelson (Jonathon Bennett) and his husband Zian Harrelson (Vincent Rodriguez III) are trying to plan a Christmas Eve dinner party, but the kitchen remodel is taking longer than expected and the contractor Quinn Lewis (Robert Moloney) doesn't seem to understand the urgency that Mike is feeling. Things go even further awry when Mike and Zian find out that they are getting a foster placement that night and Quinn blows a fuse and has to call an electrician. Mike decides to just cook the dinner at the restaurant he works at with the help of a kind neighbor Daisy (Brandi Alexander) but Mike runs into car trouble and a storm has hit the town, so now he is stuck at the restaurant with Daisy. Daisy does show up in every plot line, but this is the one where she is the most present. Also, props to hair and makeup because in 1973, she's in college, so by 2023, she's about 70, and it's all the same actress.

I love a good parallel plot line that is ultimately connected by some random thread. There are characters that appear in two of the plot lines, Ivy, Winnie, and Zian. But neighbor Daisy is in all three. This was a fun one that really celebrates people. I very much enjoyed it. Overall, 4 stars.

Hallmark+, the newly launched network extension, delivers yet another holiday winner with its new series, Holidazed. Romantic, hilarious, chaotic, and thoughtfully inclusive, the series is bound to make the coming weeks more exciting.

In the same way that The Groomsmen trilogy is an exciting winner with three romance movies, each following a different character while interlocking together, the same can be said about Hallmark’s Holidazed. The first episode, “The Beginning,” is as the title promises—an introduction to all the key families and their involvement in this story. The second episode, which airs alongside the first, follows the Hill family, delivering an exciting romantic relationship between Ian Harding’s Josh Hill and Erin Cahill’s Nora Jacobs. It’s easy to predict how the rest of the series will pan out, with one episode following another family while we reunite with them all in the season finale.
