Hallmark Christmas movies are like Mad Libs, so we made one for you Amanda Finnegan You only need to watch a handful of cheesy holiday movies to quickly realize they all follow a formula: Guy or girl with a “big city job” learns to slow down, finds love and the true meaning of Christmas along the way. (Hallmark created 40 new ones this season if you need more proof.) There’s usually a travel aspect, too someone’s returning to their very adorable hometown, stuck in an airport, running a ski lodge or checking into a bed-and-breakfast, all things we would love right about now. The more Team By The Way talked about these movies, the more we realized they are just like Mad Libs. Plug in names, places and professions, and poof, you have a movie.
