Cheesy Christmas movies on the QVC app on our television. From now until Christmas I will be subjected to this torture every day. It's only the beginning of September. Eek!!

😂😂😂 or should I say Ho Ho Ho grin

Oh no! DD is addicted to them, so when we call in they will be on and her visits to us will be governed by the schedule.

We are just recovering from the La Volta cycle race (Come to tea on Sunday but not before 4.30)

Could there be an intermittent cable problem for a few months?

They have been on some movie channels since July.
I think they must be made especially for those channels.
From the description they would never make it in a cinema.

Sorry I love them guaranteed happpy ending.

I love them too so if your DH has any to recommend please let me know 😀

Channel 4 or 5 have non stop Christmas films on in the run up to Christmas. I hadn’t realised there were so many ( mainly American). It’s very difficult to extricate oneself from them whilst channel hopping. Mind you, the old black and white ones will always be the best.

Can’t bear to even think about Christmas I d happily hibernate for the whole of the C season
Never never never would I watch one

I don't watch Christmas films even at Christmas. Many of them are very cheesy.

Gracey Wed 02-Sept-26 15:44:03

I love Christmas time but I couldn't have it watered down by really corny films at any time, never mind in September.
Those cheaply made Christmas films, all with the same format - boy meets girl, they clash, throw in a sugary-sweet old person, and a vague crisis, one or the other saves the day, they fall in love, the end.

Ugh. I have tried too many hoping for something different, to no avail so we avoid them in our house.

Can you hide the remote? Failing that, throw a brick at the tv? tchhmm

Purplepixie Wed 02-Sept-26 15:45:05

Maybe accidentally pull the plugs out! Oh no! I couldn’t stand it!

I agree!

Too gloopy for me, and you could write the script yourself for most of them.

Fallingstar Wed 02-Sept-26 16:25:47

One of my DDs loves these films, the plots are paper thin and always against a backdrop of sumptuous Christmas trees and snow. Not my cup of tea I’m afraid, give me a good murder mystery any day.

Marks and Spencer have all their Christmas chocolate in stock this morning. Something to munch on while you endure the Christmas films.
I love Christmas films but only from the middle of November.

MiniMoon Wed 02-Sept-26 17:07:39

I am rationing him to one a day. I will find something else to do while he has his daily fix of schmaltz.

I’m with you, BlueBelle….
It starts so early now,all the shops have got Christmas goods in them
I used to love it when I was little and you got to hear about Christmas two weeks before (used to write our Christmas list and then set it on fire and put it up the chimney a magical time) just had time to get really really excited, now by the time it’s here I’m sick to death of it….Ahhh well at least I had those times and I’m thankful for that….

Harris27 Wed 02-Sept-26 17:42:47

Aw some grinches on here! 😂😂😂

MayBee70 Wed 02-Sept-26 19:00:19

I love the run up to Christmas which is always a bit of an anti climax and I always feel sad when it is over.

Magenta8 Wed 02-Sept-26 19:15:59

I know this is a bit off topic but I am hoping that there may be some Christmas film experts on here. Is 'Diehard' a Christmas film?

Aw some grinches on here! 😂😂😂

And proud of it 😁

Usedtobeblonde Wed 02-Sept-26 20:37:06

Yes, Die Hard is a Christmas Film.
A debatable point for some.

pably15 Wed 02-Sept-26 20:46:31

I love Christmas, but only at Christmas...not September.
