Every year, the Hallmark channel does "Countdown to Christmas" where they run Christmas movies from mid-October all the way until the end of December. These movies include cheesy plotlines, the same (bad) actors, and way too much Christmas spirit. Here is a list of reasons that these Hallmark movies are literally the worst.

Hallmark's "Countdown to Christmas" is a staple of the Christmas season and brings joy to millions of people every year. Yes, the storylines are predictable. Yes, the acting is sub-par (at best), but these movies hold a very special place in my heart. Every season, my mom and I bake Christmas cookies and sit on the couch while binge-watching as many of them as we can possibly handle. Every year, this is one of my favorite traditions. I have compiled a short list of Hallmark Christmas movies to begin you on your journey into this beautiful Hallmark season:

- Finding Christmas

- The Christmas Secret

- Hearts of Christmas

- Christmas at Pemberley Manor

- Christmas Joy

Now go get started, Merry Christmas!
