A Timeless Christmas: Hallmark’s Kate and Leopold

Another day, another Hallmark Christmas movie! And who knows? There may be many more where this comes from!

I love myself a good time travel story (and one day, I’ll binge watch the rest of Outlander). But it’s almost always the woman going back in time, which kinda sucks for her. So it’s nice when someone travels forward in time as well. And that’s what this movie does!

Time to step out of time and into SPOILERS!

“One Royal Holiday”: A Bit of a Flip on a Classic Hallmark Trope

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Yes – Hallmark is all Christmas, all the time until 2021! We all make fun of them but let’s face it, these movies are like comfort food to us. So much so that not only did Hallmark quickly arranged a weekend marathon when we were all huddled in our houses trying to flatten the curve but I’ve seen plenty of people on my timeline watching the movies as breaks from following the craziness that is the 2020 Presidential Election.

I know I did. And I really wanted to see Laura Osnes’ movie because I absolutely love her.

And I was also excited because this movie included Broadway alums Aaron Tveit and Victoria Clark, who starred in Cinderella with Osnes on Broadway. I got to see the two of them and knew they would be fabulous together in this as well.

So were they? Let’s find out!
