Holidazed

We're only three episodes into the series so far but I'm really loving it. I think it's a brilliant new spin for hallmark and love that it's so diverse. For once, I think my husband will truly like to watch a hallmark show with me. Usually I just have him watch the hockey movies so we can make fun of them (no hockey player walks around an airport with a single stick, it's hilarious). But this is far more complex in the way it presents and handles issues. They're still major issues but they get resolved in ways that are a little bittersweet or joyful - not sad or heartbreaking. I really hope they bring this series back next year, whether it's anthology style (new location, new families) or continuing to follow these families.

This holiday format should become a Hallmark annual tradition with a new cul-de-sac with six new families! Well done on a unique take on a Christmas special. Each episode gives you an inside look at a family's intricate interactions during the joyous but also stressful holiday season. I looked forward to each week's introduction to a new family, their unique yet relatable characters and the situations they find themselves in.. Each episode made you smile, laugh and pulled at your heart strings at the same time as bringing so many memories of holidayspast. Only one recommondentation for Holidazed 2025. Try to interweave the various families together a little better and also start the series Other than that, a great holiday treat!

Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE this.

While we're used to the typical cliché Hallmark Christmas movies each year, they have managed to release one or two new and fresh movies in the last few years. Holidazed could have easily been made into one of them, but I'm glad it's not.

The overall cast is great, and in addition to familiar faces we're used to seeing in Hallmark movies, we get some pretty big names like Dennis Haysbert, John C. McGinley, Loretta Devine, and Holland Roden, all of whom are fantastic in their roles.

Holidazed concept is pretty simple. Five somewhat eccentric or dysfunctional families trying to celebrate Christmas, but focusing each episode on a specific family and relationship with it either being a family or romantic one.

The series is filled with chaos, humor, love, heartwarming moments and a lot of Christmas. I really hope Hallmark bring back the concept of the series next year again!

I watched first 6 episodes , and OMG - so much wrong statements here - like Lindy Booth in 6 episodes - well, she was little in E1, and then only in E4 (Woods family). And it was written here that this is 6 EP. Mini series, and then we see now up to E8 . OK, I can not blame IMDB for it, maybe it was not so planned at begin, although, E4 - where L. B. was in main role was finished unfinished - indication that it will be continued ... Ok, maybe just because of messy times.

Ah, sorry, let's talk about serial, episode 4 - I liked it. Really something not seen at Hallmark . Stays for episodes 1-3 too.

I will forgive all mistakes to all involved if Lindy will in at least in 6 episodes in big part - she is a really fresh air in all this :-)

I especially liked episode 2 with Erin Cahill as the widowed mom who reconnects with architect Ian Harding. The storyline with her son was very sweet and heartfelt. I enjoyed this one much more than episode 1 (which set the stage for all the characters in the series) and episode 3 (focused on planning a gay wedding). All of the actors in the series have been in other hallmark productions and should be familiar to viewers. There are a fewer more famous older actors like Loretta Devine, Dennis Haysbert, Virginia Madsen, and John c Mcginley. I would definitely recommend trying this show for something a little different from the typical Christmas movie formula.
