| It's been said that ''man cannot live by bread alone.'' During the holidays, I admit I enjoy a little cheese, too, so there's the Hallmark channel. To be fair, in 2022, Hallmark shot 73 original movies, half of which were Christmas-themed, in Canada. Hallmark films up north, thanks to lower production costs there and Canadian tax breaks. Hallmark constantly needs new films to fill its 7-day-a-week, all-day schedule during the holidays. By contrast, Netflix only makes a handful of holiday films and they have bigger budgets, so it can hire actors with more recognizable names. But Hallmark knows its brand: Its viewers like its formulaic, generic holiday love stories with happy endings; it's the TV equivalent of comfort food. I imagine Hallmark gets tax breaks, too, for employing lots of Canadian actors, so it's fun to see whenever American Broadway actors pop up in their films. |
