Switchmas Movie Watch Along Suggestions
Added 2022-11-27 20:57:24 +0000 UTCHey Peaches!!! It's that time of year again. Time for all the streaming services and smaller production companies to churn out a ton of holiday themed rom-coms. As is tradition, well, this is the second Switchmas that our Patreon has been active, so now it's a tradition, that we will watch a Switchmas movie of your choosing for our Dec. Watch Along.
As always we need suggestions from you. BUT unlike other months, we need a little more than just the title of the movie. Since Switchmas movies come in a variety of sizes, here's what we need from each suggestion:
- Title
- The name of any well known actor or actress staring in it.
- A sentence of that sums up the plot.
- And, MOST IMPORTANT, where is it available.
The last point truly is the most important, as there's some larger movies on Netflix, but some of the smaller, goofier ones, might be on Peacock, or Hulu...maybe. Does Hallmark have a streaming service, or are they apart of one?
We can't wait to see what crazy movies y'all suggest. Let's kick off this holiday season right!!!

New to Patreon. If you haven't already watched it, and I hope you haven't, I would love a reaction to Love Actually (2003). A traditional Christmas Brit Rom/Com. Firstly who's not in it? Liam Neeson, Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Bill Knighy, Emma Thompson, Andrew Lincoln, Martin Freeman. To some up the plot, intertwined stories around Christmas that are just brilliant, hilarious, moving and wholesome. Where is it available? Probably everywhere! Definitely on Amazon here atm. Please. Please. Please. PS. Don't watch the released trailer. It's a trailer fail.

2022-11-30 17:17:52 +0000 UTCI’ve since discovered that they watched it last year (I wasn’t a patron then), so it’s not an option for this year.

2022-11-30 14:03:02 +0000 UTCWhichever movie ends up being picked, may I recommend this video from The Holderness Family to come up with the corresponding Drinking Game: https://youtu.be/h5u8YWCRfVM -- it's the cheesiness of every Hallmark Christmas Movie Ever distilled down to less than 5 minutes.

2022-11-30 08:20:39 +0000 UTC"A mannequin comes to life" -- sounds like "Mannequin" a 1987 movie starring Kim Cattrall and Andrew McCarthy.

2022-11-30 08:16:21 +0000 UTCI watched it last year, and it was baaaaad. So very, very bad. But! Very appropriate for a Switchmas watchalong.

2022-11-29 15:46:08 +0000 UTCI have to agree with the new 'Spirited'. Surprisingly fun, goofy, and lighthearted. Ryan Reynolds & Will Ferrell. Apple TV+ Christmas Carol-based, but with a Mel Brooks-type offbeat humor.

2022-11-29 03:37:29 +0000 UTC-Spirited - starring Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds -Basically its "christmas carol" but with a fun unique twist we haven't seen before and best of all.....Its a musical!!! :) - unfortunately its on apple+ (ew) but even a clock is right 2x a day so even they can come up with a good movie/show or two every once and awhile

2022-11-29 03:00:19 +0000 UTCA Christmas Story Christmas (2022) Most of the original cast from A Christmas Story Ralphie returns to his home town to show his kids an epic Christmas like he once experienced. I assume many callouts to things we've all laughed at for decades. HBO Max Just came out 11/17 - haven't seen it yet we can all see it together for the first time :D

2022-11-29 01:43:28 +0000 UTCIs it me or does Hollys Holiday have a very suspicious resemblance to a Chris Pine movie
David Arroyo
2022-11-28 23:31:34 +0000 UTCNot a rom com although Rizzo and Gongso have great chemistry 😂
David Arroyo
2022-11-28 23:30:27 +0000 UTCWe probably won’t get it. Everyone always suggest generic mainstream ones and they always win because there’s a bigger star and they don’t know any better. The Netflix Princess movies were freaking boring. This one is as insane as it sounds and it’s glorious

2022-11-28 23:28:15 +0000 UTCI always recommend you get a vpn it lets you watch movies and tv in other countries Surf shark has a sale

2022-11-28 21:45:38 +0000 UTCI was ready to fight (HARD) for my suggestion of "Falling for Christmas" because...LINDSAY LOHAN, Y'ALL! (It's her comeback!) But damn... yours is *chef's kiss* in every way, from the title to the leads to the "plot." It sounds like a total disaster and I am 👏🏻 here 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 it!

2022-11-28 21:44:41 +0000 UTCI agree ... The Muppet Christmas Carol is one of if not my favorite Christmas movie.

A father recalls his epic adventure as a 10 year old in 1980s Chicago, when he set out to get his dream Christmas gift for him and his friends: the GREATEST video game system ever made, the Nintendo Entertainment System.

2022-11-27 22:16:46 +0000 UTC"A Castle for Christmas". It stars Cary Elwes and Brooke Shields. It is in a small town (complete with castle) in Scotland; Brooke is an author in need of getting away from a scandal, and Cary owns the castle. It is on Netflix. Cheesy, but I found myself enjoying it!

2022-11-27 22:02:37 +0000 UTC"Scrooge: A Christmas Carol" starring Luke Evans, Olivia Colman, Johnathan Pryce. It's 'A Christmas Carol" but it's a musical! And animated! Coming to Netflix December 2! (This Friday)

2022-11-27 21:11:58 +0000 UTC"Falling for Christmas" - starring Lindsay Lohan. "A young, newly engaged heiress has a skiing accident in the days before Christmas. After she is diagnosed with amnesia, she finds herself in the care of the handsome cabin owner and his daughter." On Netflix. Edited to add: I watched this, y'all, and it's soooo delightfully bad.
