“Every year, the Hallmark Channel releases its Christmas movie lineup as a reminder that the Hallmark Channel exists. This year, they’ve also decided to release some controversy. In 2019, a conservative group complained because of an ad that showed two women kissing? What are you getting mad for? They’re kissing at their wedding; it’s the last time they’ll ever kiss, relax.” --Trevor Noah
“I got to say that Hallmark ad is upsetting. They’re standing in front of decorative prelit trees, but the room also has an elaborate wooden mantle — what’s the aesthetic here, classic evening or rustic chic? Pick a lane, ladies! I can’t have my kids seeing this.” --Stephen Colbert
“Now, Hallmark caved immediately, saying, ‘The Hallmark brand is never going to be divisive. We don’t want to generate controversy.’ We know — we’ve seen your movies. Hallmark doesn’t generate controversy, character growth, dramatic tension, or leading roles for black people.” --Stephen Colbert
“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
