Friends Kira and Amelia journey through the best and worst of cheesy tv Christmas movies. Hallmark, GAF, Netflix, Lifetime...no channel is too far for the journey!
Preview: A Knight to Remember...Steve really is the best
One of our final bonus episodes of the season break! (substack only)
Season Two premiers on Halloween, but here’s another bonus episode to tide you over until then. This week we chose to do something seasonal for autumn to recognize the season of fantasy and the supernatural.
‘A Knight to Remember’ stars Hallmark fave Julie Gonzalo and newcomer James Trevena.
A statue of an English knight arrives in Chicago for an art exhibit. While cleaning the statue, museum conservator Emily impulsively kisses the statue, bringing him to life.
It’s the Halloween season in Christmasland, so we had to give some of the woo-woo fortune-telling aspects of this film a little grace. Easy to do with a cast this fantastic and Hallmark’s hallmark charm.
Will Emily ever discover true love?
Will Sir Griffin ever make his way back to the past so he can finish living out his present?
Will the museum ever stop making Emily do all the jobs?
Kira and Amelia answer all your questions and hand out episode awards:
Robert A. Baron Villain Award for the most dastardly villain the film could produce
Christmas Ham Award for the most over-the-top, entertaining performance
Christmas Tree Topper for best performance

Interviewing 'A Prince in Paradise' series writer Adrian Powers and Caera Bradshaw
AN INTERVIEW IN PARADISE!
IG @JTChristmasland
Journey to Christmasland on Substack (lots of bonus content)
We’re so excited to bring you this interview with the co-writers of the A Prince in Paradise series (or A Royal in Paradise, depending on where you watch the movies), Adrian Powers and Caera Bradshaw.
You’ll remember Adrian from a previous interview after we reviewed ‘A Christmas Castle Proposal.’ We had so much fun together he agreed to drag his writing partner to the show after the release of the third film. You can watch that interview here (https://journeytochristmasland.substack.com/p/ep27-an-insiders-guide-to-torovia?utm_source=publication-search)and if you’d like to see our review, you’ll have to upgrade to a paid subscription as it was a bonus episode. Or you can wait until the Christmas season when we release it to the free side.
A delightful time was had by all. We covered a range of topics including how you write a movie with a writing partner, the highs and lows of filming, and the challenges of storytelling in the “Christmasland” format. There was also quite an extensive conversation about the name KIRA. You’ll have to watch to see the roller coast ride of that particular conversation.
We can’t say enough great things about these two artists. They were warm, open and generous. True Christmasland citizens!
Don’t forget to subscribe on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@JourneytoChristmasland)and share with your friends who love the spirit of Christmas and love the cheesy coziness of tv Christmas movies (and movies from all the surrounding seasons…Christmasland has seasons too!).
