OPINION: Hallmark movies show prove magic of Christmas

During the holiday season, people love to sit down with their families and watch a feel-good Christmas movie that has a happy ending that puts everybody in the Christmas spirit. When thinking of a movie to watch, a lot of people immediately go to the Hallmark channel and pick a movie. Anybody who has seen multiple Hallmark Christmas movies know that they mostly all have the same plot line. So, if all the plots are the same, why do people take the time and watch them all?

It is no surprise that Hallmark Christmas movies have the same plot line. Big city girl was too busy for Christmas time, moves to a small town temporarily for her job. She then meets a small town guy and he teaches her the magic of Christmas, they fall in love and kiss in the snow. And almost all of these movies have the same plot, but the reason people watch them is not for the story line, but for the magical warm feeling that is involved.

When people see these movies they melt for the story. These Hallmark movies make people believe in love and the magic of Christmas even through tough trials. Sitting with hot chocolate and watching these movies next to a Christmas tree gives a warm feeling to most people’s hearts and make them feel complete inside.

So, though these movies are all the same, they are worth watching. When the big city CEO falls in love with the small town baker, it gives you a better experience than just watching a regular Christmas movie. These movies represent the magic of Christmas and shows people everywhere what the true meaning of Christmas is – love, family, and a whole lot of snow.
