She’s Making A List

Matt Roush says...

The Yule Log: And the holiday-movie deluge continues. On Hallmark Channel, She’s Making a List (Saturday, 8/7c) stars channel favorite Lacey Chabert as Isabel, an inspector from the Naughty or Nice Group consulting firm hired by Santa to scope out good and bad kids, a job complicated when she falls for the widowed dad (Andrew Walker) of a bratty 11-year-old. In Hallmark’s Single on the 25th (Sunday, 8/7c), Lyndsy Fonseca and Daniel Lissing star as romantically unattached neighbors who form, guess what, an attachment.

Lifetime’s Saturday double feature includes Deck the Hallways (8/7c), starring Naika Toussaint as Zoe, who’s determined to keep her grandmother’s (Loretta Devine) Christmas traditions alive; and Merry Missed Connection (10/9c), a romcom set against a speed-dating event. Great America Family offers Christmas at the Inn (Saturday, 8/7c), starring Jill Wagner and Trevor Donovan, and Mistletoe at the Manor (Sunday, 8/7c), starring Madeleine Coghlan as a food influencer who finds magic and romance at an ancient English castle. OWN presents The Christmas Showdown (Saturday, 9/8c), again with Loretta Devine, as a producer overseeing a Christmas Eve Spectacular event, a gig that frenemy rivals April (Corbin Reid) and Chastity (Amber Stevens West) both hope to land. UPtv’s A Christmas Murder Mystery (Sunday, 7/6c) stars Morgan Bradley as Vera, who serves as a newspaper’s puzzle editor and freelances as a consulting detective for the local sheriff, the latter coming in handy when a murder occurs at the wealthy family’s home she’s visiting for Christmas.
