That's the level of inane all Hallmark movies are. Zero character development, no conflict plot devices, just a bunch of "awww that's sweet" without making the audience use any kind of critical thinking. Eating cards is a step up.

This actually makes me want to watch one just to see how empty and cringe it is. Are there any particular ones that really highlight what it means to be a "Hallmark movie"?

Here's their website:

They're all fairly similar; I think if you blindly pick one you'll still get what you're looking for

I haven't watched one in many years, IF I've ever watched one

Hallmark is the cotton candy of Christmas shows. Some people hate them, some people love them, but no matter what you feel about them it's all just mostly brightly colored empty air.
If you want real cringe, then you need to make your way over to the Lifetime network. There they serve up really strong doses of Kopi Luwak (cat shit coffee).

Lol, i might just have to take the plunge and see just how deep the cringe goes... I have a feeling this could be the beginning of a great or terrible era in my life 🎄🫠🍷
