And wouldn’t you know it: Stacy swoons for Margaret’s fiancé, Prince Edward (Sam Palladio), while Margaret falls for Stacy’s co-worker Kevin (Nick Sagar).Ĭhristmas at the Palace (Hallmark, November 22 at 8 p.m.): Former professional ice-skater Katie (Merritt Patterson) is hired by the king of San Senova (Andrew Cooper) to help his daughter prepare for a Christmas performance. The Princess Switch (Netflix, November 16): Margaret, the Duchess of Montenaro (Vanessa Hudgens), somehow trades places with Stacy, a look-alike from Chicago. Vanessa Hudgens and Sam Palladio in The Princess Switch. Let’s fake a relationship that - spoiler alert - turns out to be real. But exactly how many of 2018’s offerings will feature one of the 15 tried-and-true made-for-TV Christmas movie tropes we’ve come to expect - and cherish - each holiday season? As it turns out, quite a few! After reading through the network synopses for all 64 films, here’s our trope-by-trope breakdown of all the movies you’ll be watching this holiday season. That a movie’s setting will be a small town that’s 50 percent more festive than any place you’ve ever visited is a safe bet. Between the six go-to networks - Hallmark, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Lifetime, Freeform, UPtv, and Netflix - there are more than 60 new holiday films premiering between now (Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas actually began on October 27) and the New Year. And you know what else that means? That’s right: The made-for-TV Christmas movies are already upon us. Halloween is over, which means it is legally now Christmas. We have some singing by Jack and piano playing by Joy.Photo: Crown Media United States LLC/Lifetime/Freeform The scenes and dynamic between Rachel and Jack are good. My criticism is the revealing could have been done better maybe involving Rachel a little more. The story has a little surprise between Jack and Joy, which was good. This movie came close to getting a perfect 10 from me. I will go out of my way to see her again. I did see she was in Loving Leah 8 years ago as "the female guard" (very small part). Seems like this is her biggest role and she was superb. Natalie Knepp seemed so familiar to me, but I haven't seen her in other roles. The movie to its success focuses on Rachel. The last main character is Joy who is the reason the movie is named a Joyous Christmas (very well done). The scene where Rachel and Jack first meet is great as he is asking her whether he should get the Santa or Snowman tie. He starred in Christmas in Homestead (2016) which I have not seen, but probably will after seeing him here. The good guy producer Jack is played by Michael Rady. The bad guy manager was played very well by Steve Bacic. Natalie Knepp plays Rachel Kennedy a motivational speaker who returns to her home of Fall Oaks, Massachusetts for an event near Christmas.
