The Best Hallmark Christmas Movie Is Based In Idaho

It's that time of the year when Hallmark Christmas movies are everywhere. I know this because my wife loves Hallmark Christmas movies, and when I come home from work, there's a 90% chance that there's one on. Over the weekend, we were relaxing (insert sarcasm), and I think I discovered one of the best Hallmark Christmas movies. Guess what? The movie is based in Idaho.

A Predictable, Yet Perfect Plot

The movie starts with your classic Hallmark setup: a big-city woman, driven by her career, ends up stuck in an Idaho town just as the holiday season begins. In the movie, she meets a local minor league hockey player (because, well, you know, we love our hockey here in Idaho). Like most Hallmark movies, he's attractive and grumpy, but, you know, in a cute way (my wife's explanation), and still single for some mysterious reason. Can you guess where this is going? Flirty arguments, festive activities, and plenty of snow lead to them falling in love just in time for Christmas.

Characters You've Seen Before (and Love Anyway)

The leading lady trades her high heels for hiking boots, while the hockey-playing love interest eventually lets his guard down. They're the same characters you see in almost every Hallmark movie, but somehow, that's part of the fun.

Is it the best Christmas movie that takes place in Idaho?

I'm going to let you decide. The Hallmark Christmas movie released last year, which you can watch on the Hallmark app, is called "Checkin' It Twice." There are two other Christmas movies that you can add to the list that I discovered while writing this article, "A Match Made At Christmas" and "A Godwink Christmas: Second Chance, First Love."
