Season Notes
This was the year I fully moved my Christmas movie tracking system onto the blog. I started with a chronological release list across networks, then shifted toward prioritizing Hallmark near the end of the season. That pivot is what allowed me to finish every Hallmark premiere, even though I did not complete the other networks or get to the holiday shows on my list.
This season also confirmed a few long-standing patterns: I respond best to grounded stories, strong casts, believable relationships, cozy settings, family dynamics, and emotional realism. Royal Christmas movies remain one of my least favorite recurring subgenres.
