McMillan Cottom's words under advisement. If you're looking for more Black leads, you'll find more at Lifetime than at Hallmark, but even at Hallmark, the tide is turning somewhat. I commend to you some commentary from the writer Tressie McMillan Cottom recently about holiday movies, and especially about Hallmark's Christmas In Harmony. More inclusive content is something I hope for every year and am glad for every year when it comes up. (I think two different Hallmark cable networks is enough.) Also of note, former Hallmark executive Bill Abbott is now running a new cable channel called GAC Family, which says it celebrates "American culture, lifestyle and heritage." There's very little information on their site about most of their films, but if that sounds appealing, you can check out their lineup.Ĥ.

I didn't cover most of the kids' movies or animated movies. Nonetheless, here we are for the third year in a row to look at this year's crop, complete with trope elements in bold.
How are we getting VH1 holiday movies now? How did Food Network get involved? And the places that offer them seem to offer more. Every year, more outlets offer holiday movies (and by that I mean overwhelmingly Christmas movies, but occasionally not).
