You know that you are on vacation, and every day brings a series of new seasonal TV movies. Traditionally belonging to Hallmark and Lifetime provinces, in recent years, players in the TV field have joined them. With so many holiday-themed phrases to study (and puns), it is inevitable to come up with fascinating and sufficiently different titles for these movies, at least trying to convey their content, which inevitably becomes a challenge.

Some people still manage to become geniuses. (Feliz NaviDAD, anyone?) But most of them are boring, repetitive, and/or absurd, so much so that you start to wonder if Hallmark is actually using AI to make holiday movie titles. 

Therefore, this year we decided to compile our favorite 2021 TV holiday movies, sorted by the most creative and least creative. For kicks, we think we also include the content of the movie we want, based only on the title, and then the actual plot description. In a few cases, we bundle several titles together because they are so similar that it is difficult for us to distinguish the two. In any case, we have never actually watched the movie in question.
