Hallmark movie
Cozy Christmas film
A Hallmark movie is a romantic television film of the type produced by the Hallmark Channel, characterized by wholesome sentiment, predictable plots, and happy endings.
The formula typically involves a career-focused protagonist returning to a small town, rediscovering love and simpler values.
The term often carries gentle mockery: Every Hallmark movie is basically the same story with different sweaters.
