Movie Monday is a feature here on my blog, in which I’m rambling about movies I’ve watched lately.
This week I watched two not-so-new Christmas movies and I enjoyed them very much.
Married by Christmas
This weekend I spent in my home town house, with my parent. My father loves movies so he has so many movie programs subscriptions: HBO, Pickbox, Cinestar, you name it!
I was so happy to see that on Pickbox they had a category Christmas Movies, so I decided to enjoy some movies from there (and I plan to watch more when I visit again for Christmas).
Married by Christmas was the one with an interesting premise. Two sisters competing each other because the one who marries first will inherit the family company.
I really liked this movie. It was more on a serious side, because the main theme is serious, but it also has romance and overall is so enjoyable that I would recommend this one to watch if you’ll have a chance.
Also, it’s pretty short (1h and 27min) which is great in my opinion.
Call Me Mrs. Miracle
Call Me Mrs. Miracle is the one I enjoyed more. It has a nice romance but it also has many subplots that give the completeness to the story.
It follows a man who is a store manager and a woman who takes care of his nephew after his mum died and his father is on a mission because he’s a solder.
This movie is an adaptation of a novel written by Debbie Macomber. She is a well known romance writer with several movie adaptations, and I just realized that I have never read a book by her, which is a shame.
I decided that that will change because I really enjoy watching those fluffy movies and I am sure I would enjoy her books too.
Call Me Mrs. Miracle was filmed in 2005 so it’s pretty old, but since it is one of Hallmark movies, I think it’s available to watch for free on television.
It is also on a shorter side (1h and 30min).
I really enjoyed watching Call Me Mrs Christmas and I recommend it to watch if you like cheesy, relaxing Christmas movies.
Thanks for the recommendations! For some reason or another, I’ve gotten stuck on the Hallmark Channel every Saturday. These movies are a bit too sappy for my normal tastes but…I’m hooked on them.

Christmas movies are the best! There are so many great ones out there. I’ve always been a sucker for romance films so both these movies sound perfect for me. Thanks for sharing!

I love Mrs miracle!! I believe there’s a first movie which is also really good! I liked this one you mentioned too. While they’re a bit predictable at times, I still enjoy watching them in the afternoon with a hot drink and get all cosy haha xx

Thanks for the two new Christmas movie recommendations, I never heard of them before but when I saw Doris Roberts in the second photo I was immediately interested because I’m a huge fan 😍

I’ll check them out if I can, because I’m always on the lookout for cute, feel-good movies but most end up being waaaay too sappy. However, out of thses two one has a more serious theme and the other has Jewel Staite (<3) so they deserve a chance!
