Mistletoe Murders

My family of girls absolutely adores Hallmark Christmas movies and Hallmark Murder Mysteries. Both genres bring something special into our lives-whether it's the heartwarming charm of a snowy love story or the intriguing suspense of a whodunit. This series was the perfect blend of the two, seamlessly combining everything we love about both genres into one captivating experience. From the very first episode, we were hooked, and the excitement carried us through every twist and turn in the story.

One of the standout features of this series was its ability to keep us on the edge of our seats. Just when we thought we had things figured out, a new layer of mystery would unfold, keeping the tension alive and our curiosity piqued. It wasn't just about the puzzles and the suspense, though. The show had a way of intertwining those thrilling moments with the kind of emotional storytelling that Hallmark is known for. This balance made it feel fresh and exciting without losing that heartwarming touch we cherish.

So, we're left with one request: Please, please, please keep making these! This series brought so much joy, excitement, and connection to our family, and we can't wait to see more. Whether it's a continuation of this story or something new, we'll be there, ready to watch and fall in love all over again. Thank you for giving us a show that brought mystery, romance, and holiday cheer together in the best way possible. We're already counting down the days until the next installment!

So enjoyable!

I love mysteries and this one left a major cliffhanger at the end of season one so I hope the next season will be released soon!

Only 6 episodes existing now but I'm hooked!

My favorite elements: the acting is well done!

The main character, Emily, is a mysterious but good natured woman with flashbacks to her past that has yet to be fully unveiled.

There is a budding romance between her and the main detective due to their work together on intriguing murder investigations that happen in the community.

The Christmas theme makes this a festive watch but would be enjoyable any season.

I found this show entertaining enough. It didn't amaze or wow me, but it was sufficiently entertaining that I intend to watch the next episode.

When I tuned in, I thought it was a movie, not a tv series. Once I realized it was a series, I mistakenly assumed that each episode would stand alone. Wrong. I have seen the first episode and intend to tune in again, but I hope they don't drag one story out over the entire season.

The protagonist runs a Christmas shop and it is cute and sufficiently Christmasy. There's not a lot of time spent in the shop, but the other sets are pleasant and attractive.

The viewers aren't privy to the back story yet, but the protagonist seems to have some training in detection and inserts herself into a murder mystery that relates to an acquaintance she admires. We'll see how it goes. If the idea appeals to you, I'd suggest giving it a try.

I am really enjoying this one.

There is a lot of chemistry between the two leads, which for me is important. Also, they have some really interesting cast members, such as the guy who used to play the doctor in Stargate, and the woman who used to play Umma in the series Kim's Convenience. It has enough forward-moving plot twists to stay interesting, and of course, it has all of the charm of Hallmark small towns.

I am really hoping there will be a season two and even more seasons going forward.

Hallmark seems to have more success with its mysteries and not giving them plot holes, (versus their love stories).

Smart, compelling and suspenseful! Mistletoe Murders takes a refreshing approach to the all chipper, and ready to mingle characters we're used to getting in Hallmark seasonal offerings. The lead characters are well grounded, sharp, intelligent and a little bit snarky! The lead actors are seasoned and solid. The town actors are a bit over-the-top at times but it provides a nice contrast to Emily's not so bubbly or quirky personality. The chemistry between the leads is wonderful and could work well romantically or platonically. I'm impressed with the fact they chose to stray from the stereotypical teenager and give her character more depth.

The town has a Havenesque vibe that keeps it feeling mysterious as if it holds its own secrets, while at the same time managing to maintain all the warm, Christmas charm and esthetics you'd want in a cozy book to film series mystery!
