November 18, 2025 | Streaming

Director: Collins Abbott White

Writers: Brian S. Tedeschi, Vicki Vass

Cast:

• Kabby Borders as Willow
• Tom Gipson as Zach
• Chantey Colet

The movie starts within a movie. We meet Willow who is a location scout and she's over it. Same ol' cozy towns with cozy bakeries in cozy Christmas movies. She is burnt out on Christmas. She's ready to go home and skip Christmas. But unfortunately for her, she's gotta head to the next small town to scout. She meets the mayor, Zach. Willow is on the look for an inn. Luckily, his family owns an inn. When she sees it, it's perfect! Zach is all about this, but there are some people who are not a fan of a big Hollywood, or Atlanta, production coming into town and ruining their small town charm, specifically a woman named Ruth.

So she sticks around and starts hanging with Zach, sparks begin to fly. But no matter how hard she tries, she can't get Ruth to sign off on this movie. And she tries everything including baked goods.

Zach shows her a very special Mistletoe tradition - a movie that starred Ruth. Turns out, Ruth made this movie and then Hollywood spit her out. That's why she is so anti-movie.

She's just not sure what to do. Nothing a really creepy Santa can't fix. She talks to Santa about everything and I guess it helps.

Her boss is mad at her for not getting the town to sign off on the movie so she fires her. But Willow has her own movie and I guess she's gonna stick around and they're gonna make the movie there together. And she and Zach kiss!

Jacks joins us this week to continue our Season 13 viewing of the hit Hallmark Channel show, When Calls the Heart.

The day of the long-awaited trial arrives for Bill and Nathan; Lucas contemplates his future.

March 15, 2026 | Hallmark Channel

• Erin Krakow as Elizabeth Thornton
• Kevin McGarry as Nathan Grant
• Chris McNally as Lucas Bouchard

Operation Always and Forever is a go, but Nathan insists to Allie that he has to finish this investigation first. It's trial day and Elizabeth insists on showing up to court to support him.

Nathan, Bill, and Georgie meet early to talk through things and share a waffle.

LJ hears about some of the boys going hiking and camping and he wants in. They tell him to ask his mom.

Elizabeth is hanging up some harvest festival flyers when Lucas walks by. They decide to have a conversation for some reason.

It's court time! Lee stands up and gives his opening statement. He talks about dreams and stuff. The electric company's lawyer stands up and says his statement is all hat, no cattle. Where is Christopher?!

Nathan is called up for questioning first. They present all the evidence they have. The defense attorney points out none of that is hard evidence, coincidences prove nothing.

Up next is Georgie. She talks about the map but once again....not super helpful in proving the case.

Elizabeth finds out about the camping trip and says no way. LJ is peeved.

Back in court, the tides turn. They use the Rosemary lie thing to their advantage. But the problem is, it's entrapment. The judge says he can't use it.

Christopher is their last chance. So Gowen goes on the radio and pleads for him to come and give his testimony.

And it works. He comes in. Brings the transformer. And they win! The electric company is guilty!

To celebrate, Nathan makes Elizabeth dinner. He's about to propose when Allie runs in. LJ is stuck in a tree! They get him down but he's pissed.

Nathan and her have a heart to heart that night and he tells her to just trust her instinct.

Rory kisses Tristin at a party after fighting with Dean, and Lorelai impulsively shows up at Max's house for a night of lovemaking.

March 15, 2001 | The WB

• Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore
• Alexis Bledel as Rory Gilmore

We pick up where we left off. Rory tells Lorelai that he broke up with her and she promptly compiles a box of all of Dean's stuff, things he's seen, things he likes, and asks Lorelai to get rid of it.

The next morning, Rory wakes her up early. She wants to get up and at 'em! They head to Luke's and it becomes clear that everyone in town already knows. Luke sees Dean trying to come inside to get coffee, so he goes outside and fights him. They head home and Lorelai encourages Rory to just hang out with Lane for a while.

Feeling lonely and missing Max, she goes to try to hang out with Sookie, but she's busy on a miserable date with Jackson because he's attempting to make her dinner.

So she gives in and decides to go see Max and apologizes to him and he invites her in.

Rory and Lane go to a Chilton party. It doesn't take Lane long to meet a guy and start dancing. And Rory begins to notice that ol' Tristan over there is sad because he and his new girlfriend broke up.

At Max's house, those two love birds are kissing HARDDDDD. But they start to discuss where things stand. Turns out, nothing's changed. He's still Rory's teacher. But whatever. LET'S KISS!

Next thing you know, they're in bed. UH OH!

Rory finds Tristan alone at the piano and they talk about their prospective break ups. They end up kissing but Rory pulls away and starts crying.

When Lorelai gets home, she sees Rory on the couch crying and ready to wallow.
