The holiday season is a time for festive decorations, seasonal songs, delicious eggnog and, of course, tremendously cheesy and formulaic Christmas movies from the Hallmark Channel.
Hallmark movies have a dedicated following of fans who genuinely love ― or love to hate ― these tales of lonely innkeepers, corporate women who’ve given up on romance, widowed Christmas tree farmers and more. Many Hallmark viewers also love to tweet about the comfortingly familiar films.
We’ve rounded up 55 funny and all-too-real tweets about Hallmark holiday movies. Enjoy!
Dammit I fell asleep during a Hallmark movie so now I'll never know if the cute couple who misunderstood each other at first fell in love.

Does every Hallmark Christmas movie have the same plot?
— Alli Moore (@AlliMichalMoore) November 22, 2017
Yes.
Am I still going to watch them and act surprised when Susan falls in love with the small town baker who only wears sweaters instead of falling for the big city CEO?
Yes.
I just want all white people to know that I assume everything I see in a Hallmark movie is a documentary of white daily life. Right now millions of you just said, "I am going to tell him I love him the best way I know how. With gingerbread."

Me: *crying* It’s. Just. So. Beautiful.
Husband: *crying* It’s. Just. So. Terrible.
Every Christmas movie that starts with a single dad has a dead mom. I’m pretty sure that @hallmarkchannel has killed off more moms than @lifetimetv at this point. Hallmark does not believe in divorce, especially during the holidays. #ChristmasMovies vs. #TrueCrime #SaveMoms

Hey nice city boyfriends/love interests in Hallmark Xmas movies who graciously lose out to the small town guy when she decides to follow her heart and stay— hit me up when you get back to the city 💃🏻

What is it about Hallmark Christmas movies that seems like the casting directors just walked into a Target, walked up to the relatively most attractive white person and said “Hey wanna be in a movie?”

House Hunters and a Hallmark Christmas movie. The only two places where a reindeer groomer is independently wealthy.

These Hallmark Christmas movies inspire me to believe that one day I too can bicker my way into true love with a Canadian long johns model if I just curl my crispy blonde hair into gross enough spirals

lady in hallmark movie just said “sorry I’m late, the stars are breathtaking tonight” and everyone was fine with it. no one blinked an eye. those are 2 separate thoughts. u did not arrive late because you were just fucking, looking up. i can’t say “sorry im late, there are birds”

I'm beginning to think Hallmark might have a formula for their Christmas movie posters. pic.twitter.com/w1uGBSwlFI

a hallmark christmas film starring werner herzog and tilda swinton as two romantic leads drawn together by a shared love of walnuts and figs and kept apart by bitter grocery store owner who only stocks enough for one (played by harrison ford, with earring)

I will write the queer Hallmark holiday movie about a gal who leaves the city to find small town love
— Cameron Esposito (@cameronesposito) November 26, 2019
& then moves back to the city bc cmon
I'm convinced that every single Lifetime/Hallmark/ABC Family TV Christmas movie was scored by the same person. The music is always this bouncy, obvious "HERE COMES THE BAD GUY" or "UH OH AWKWARD" theme

please let me write a hallmark christmas movie where the townspeople of Snow Falls, North Dakota meet one (1) single jewish person

It would take surprisingly few tweaks to turn MISERY into a Hallmark Christmas movie.

I’m one Hallmark movie away from grabbing the cute, single dad down the street and making snow angels.

Just watched a Hallmark Christmas movie about a psych professor who gets a call from the "dean of Yale University" saying they saw her thesis manuscript (!) and want to publish it (!!), and then the dean's like, "also, an associate professor position just opened up, come" (!!!).

I’m waiting for a reverse Hallmark Christmas Movie about a small town girl who realizes her community’s politics are terrible, moves to Manhattan, gets a high pressure office job, meets a businessman, and they host a non-denominational holiday party at their penthouse.

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Hallmark Christmas movies and then asked it to write a Hallmark Christmas movie of its own. Here is the first page. pic.twitter.com/HMEtkzHVCi

I'm watching Hallmark Christmas movies (FOR RESEARCH jeez) and I am scandalized how quickly the city girl goes over to the handsome widower's house. Like all you know about him is he has a dead wife and statistically he's the one who did it. All that risk for a dry lip smooch? no
— Jennifer McAuliffe (@JenniferJokes) August 11, 2020
I want to see a reverse Hallmark movie where someone starts out with a ton of Christmas spirit and then gets broken down and hates the holidays by the end.
— JEFF WILD (@jiffywild) December 24, 2018
in the hallmark christmas movie universe there is no sex, only kissing (under mistletoe) and holding hands (at a christmas tree lighting)
— lunchtime takis enjoyer (@itskristals) June 18, 2019
They need to make a Hallmark Christmas movie about a Mom who slowly loses her mind because no-one appreciates her and by the end she sets fire to the Christmas tree, throws all the presents in the snow, and runs down the street in her bathrobe screaming “Fuck Everyone!”

In my touching Hallmark Channel movie, I die in the beginning and the remaining 2 hours is my husband learning to wrap presents.

Sometimes I discover a plot hole in a Hallmark movie and I feel like I’m the king of the world

Hello it’s me, the villain of this hallmark movie, I’m the protagonists shitty girlfriend from the big city as well as the only person in the whole world who inexplicably hates dogs. I hate your used bookstore and I WILL close it down, woman who will eventually date my boyfriend!

I'm a typical female in that I love Hallmark Christmas movies, but I also sometimes wonder about the penis sizes of the male leads.

Last night I fell asleep during a Hallmark Christmas movie and now I’ll never know if the margarine woman conned the CPR dummy into loving her

I love how every Hallmark movie the fiance/current boyfriend is potrayed as a deadbeat for often having some opportunity pop-up plenty of times INVOLVING the girlfriend

But he doesn’t like LOVE Christmas so he’s not the one
Some one hire me to write a Hallmark movie about a Black girl that escapes her suffocating small town & broke ass high school boyfriend in favor of a great career in the city with an adventurous well off man who loves to travel

Earlier today, I had a rep at Amazon named 'Angel,' who saved the day on a Christmas present for my son, and just now, a Citibank rep named 'Gabriel' was able to reverse a double charge from DoorDash that would've caused a check to bounce. Am I in a Hallmark holiday movie?

For those of you who think I never “reach across the aisle” to listen to Republicans, I’ll have you know I’ve already watched a Hallmark Christmas movie this year.
— billy eichner (@billyeichner) November 12, 2018
The plot of every Hallmark movie is about a career woman who is too busy for love but she has to move to a small town where a handsome local bachelor teaches her about the true spirit of the holiday. It starts snowing and they kiss. There is also a dog.
— Joel Doubleyou (@JoelDoubleyou) November 19, 2018
What I really want is a Hallmark movie where a woman learns the true meaning of Christmas while she hunts a serial killer.

Spoiler alert, someone in that Hallmark Christmas movie drives a cool vintage truck.

Ok but Selling Sunset has all the makings of a Hallmark movie/romcom.It is inoffensive. You have plucky wholesome small town girl. Wide eyed. Note worthy campy villain. Only thing is Crishell is already married to hot actor otherwise she would meet him while showing a listing
— Bolu Babalola (@BeeBabs) June 9, 2020
Does Hallmark use the same actors for their Christmas movies? Yes.
— Kendall (@pollard_kendall) November 7, 2018
Do all the movies have the same story? Yes.
Am I going to continue watching them till I can’t hold my eyes open? Yes.
And when I watched them all am I going to watch them again? Yes.

WIFE: hey wanna try some role play?

ME: [unaware she just completed a 10 hr hallmark christmas movie bender] wow, sure
WIFE: ok i’ll be the big city executive visiting my rural hometown and you be the old bff who is still single and grew up hot
The most unrealistic thing about Hallmark movies is how well all of these women walk in heels.

I can't wait to get into the Hallmark movie writing phase of my career. Step by step.

Hallmark movies should have an option for the girls who like a bit of spice. They don't even need to have sex just a kiss with tongue. A lil steam a lil tension
— Bolu Babalola 🍯&🌶 (@BeeBabs) November 20, 2021
The sibling relationships in Hallmark movies are intense, especially when one of them won’t be home for Christmas. That’s excruciating pain. You need to understand these siblings were kids together.
— John Levenstein (@johnlevenstein) November 29, 2020
I yelled ‘hold the lift please!’ earlier whilst on the phone, running in heels and carrying a take-out coffee. Cannot believe I am a busy exec in a Hallmark movie whose life is about to be turned upside down by inheriting a B&B in the countryside!!!
