That was the funniest shit I've heard in a long time. You said fuck and the beep came after. That shit was red Foxx, Richard perier ( sorry don't know how to spell perier fuck spell check) but that shit cracked me up. P.s. you should sing more. In my book you're an awesome singer.
And there is no way a meteor shower would only be visible from ONE location. Also who uses a telescope to watch a meteor shower, that is ridiculous. They didn't even try to make this premise make sense.
@@TinyGhostyWell I mean there are "optimal viewing points" for spacial events. That eclipse a few years back in Oregon had people from all over the world show up to a tiny little desert town with literally no infrastructure for it.
@@FamChan123 Eclipses are different because your angle on the earth matters to view the full eclipse. The full eclipse was not ONLY in Oregon, there is a narrow optimal viewing angle that stretches farther than one singular location. Meteor showers are different than eclipses because the debris is hitting the entire section of the Earth that is angled towards the debris path left by comets and asteroids. Being in Northern/Southern Hemisphere is the main factor in determining a meteor shower viewing, as long as you are in the right section of the Earth with that section of sky above the horizon you will see meteor showers depending on your local weather and light pollution.
@@TinyGhosty Thank you for the lesson, but I literally said optimal viewing area. Which implies there are other points that it is viewable; just not as easily seen. And the same can happen for meteor showers with the curvature of the earth and one's location. I don't think it's that bad of a plot device, was my point. The special effects however...
@@FamChan123 No. It does not make any sense to compare eclipses and meteor showers. It is a horrible plot device to anyone who understands what meteor showers are.

My early film career was making these films! They were hell to work on; low budgets, exploitative time frames... but never ending laughter at how we all on the crew knew the movie was gonna suck
My ex-in laws have them on twenty-four/seven near Christmas; no snark. Most the women in his family do. Had to force the rankin bass specials other than the little drummer boy. They do exist...
20:48 perhaps you or someone can enlighten me on whether that is actually Lindsay Lohan, because it certainly looks like he's kissing somebody else, even the hair looks just a bit off, am I going crazy can someone please back me up on this haha
so the guy who plays Santa is a customer I knew at my old job and he is the biggest sweetheart ever haha. he's usually volunteering with hospitals to play as santa. He's also the teacher in hereditary (always tells everyone that haha) and usually plays Santa with his wife as Ms clause at the malls.
They make 20 different versions of the same movie every year. We all know the formula even if you’ve barely watched one of these in its entirety because there are just so many and we get bombarded with them every year
This is one of the traditions is that we make and play Hallmark Christmas Movie Bingo. The more specific you get, the funnier it is. We include everything, motifs, plot points and even direct citations
I’m just yelling at the screen: “That’s not how meteor showers work!“ They aren’t localized to a small town. Also you don’t use a telescope to watch a meteor shower! Telescopes have a vey narrow field of view, which is useless for observing a meteor shower that requires a wide-angle perspective! But all of that is pointless anyway because no one at NASA is going to establish a base to watch meteor showers! * insert picture of Kermit the frog running back-and-forth yelling*
NASA Higher-up: A meteor shower? At this time of year? At this specific hour? Localized entirely over a small Christmas town? Bad Astronomer: Yes. NHU: ...May I see it BA: ...No. I forgot my telescope.

I live in a town that is frequently used to film hallmark christmas movies! There was actually a problem because they film them in the summer, so they make fake snow.... and the chemicals were super toxic and they sprayed it all over wherever they were shooting, many blocks.
This includes the movies: Christmas Inheritance (2017); Christmas in Angel Falls (2017); Return to Christmas Creek (2018); Angel Falls: A Novel Christmas (2019); Christmas in Love (2018); Last Chance for Christmas (2015); and Northern Lights of Christmas (2018).
I mean, aliens showing up at the end of the first movie would explain why the meteors looked so weird. They were actually lasers and humanity is going to war
Cut to NASA freaking out because their monitoring equipment didn't catch the approach due to one critical relay not working, and a shot of New York burning as beams of light carve through time Square and oddly the statue of liberty.
We need more crossovers between Christmas rom-coms and sci-fi movies. Once I had a weird dream in which Netflix released an interactive movie called "A Christmas Kaiju" about an occeanographer on a picturesque coastal town in the state of Washington that discover that there's a giant monster approaching and it will destroy the town on Christmas eve unless they do something. It was half Christmas comedy half Sy-Fy style disaster movie
My mom came down with a very bad flu over the holidays and was in a super glum mood, so I was suggesting things we could do to cheer her up. She kept turning down my ideas until I said “Gabi Belle has a new video on Netflix Christmas movies.” and she went “Okay…that sounds really good actually.”
15:25 you see the horse is communicating with her via telepathy. You can tell as the horse looks at her, which obviously implies Lindey Lowhan has some kind of experience doing telepahorse

Hey single professional ladies, how about you stop all that and have a family instead? Here we have one all ready to go! Honestly it would be nice if some of these ended up with the woman keeping her career and the man becoming a stay-at-home dad for once. She's already successful and he's not, that's the whole plot setup! Plus he's already been taking care of the house and his daughter! This could really work out!
@@cactustactics some do, well both people keep their careers or are in the same work field, I recently saw one of this woman who worked in a toy company in Chicago and ended up in a small town in Alaska while trying to get somewhere else, where she met this guy who was super generous and it seemed like your average Christmas movie and that she would move to Alaska, for this guy. However she found out that he was secretly a famous toy maker and got him a job at the company she worked in and he accepted because he would be able to see her every day and work with her. Not going to say it was a great ending but it subverted my expectations
@@patax144 oh like he didn't need any help but he still took the job anyway? That's a cool variation yeah!

Maybe hallmark movies are the wrong place to be looking for that kind of boundary pushing though eh
The best christmas movie is 'One Starry Christmas' from Hallmark. It's got all the cornerstones of a cheesy hallmark romance, but most importantly, the love interest is a cowboy and the actor can't hold an accent to save his life
IM SO THRILLED. Immediately after my marketing teacher noticed all students had finished our midterms, she put falling for christmas on, and i was shocked with how bad it was, and i was so confused as to why she put this on over literally anything else??? then like a week later this is posted, im joyous.
Honestly, that movie just looks iconic. Lindsey Lohan did so well and it felt so campy and purposefully overdone. Also, Tad was an icon. It feels like someone watched a Hallmark movie one too many times and decided to make the best parody ever concieved. And made it good.
Meteor showers "trending online" would be the most shocking day for any amateur astronomer. Most of them have to be a part of an active astronomy club to keep a track of all the meteor showers in their area.
No way, my girlfriend and I LOVE watching yours and Kurtis Conners videos, and what luck that we get two videos in a day, and it's her BIRTHDAY 😂 She's gonna love this
I watched a Hallmark movie with my mom once called Christmas in Vienna, which is about a violinist who travels to Vienna to play in a Christmas concert, and my mom and I were dying at the inaccuracies. Maybe we were especially predisposed to notice since we’re both musicians and my father is in the military, but it was just so painfully unrealistic. The main character Jess spent all the time before her concert putzing around the city and no time on screen practicing, and when she and the American diplomat had their third act breakdown, it was about him moving, and she was all like “no don’t move again, your kids will be sad, and I’m in love with you”. Like, lady, you think he can afford to not move when that’s literally in his job description, which is his only source of income since, I can’t really remember the details, but I’m pretty sure his wife died? Those kids are better off sad than starving.
I know Lindsay is getting her life back together and I'm happy for that but did they really have to cast her in this movie? Also I love your videos Gabi!
Does anyone else find it kind of existential when the man falls in love with the woman when she has amnesia. Now that she has her memories back, she's a different person than he knew.
Cheesy christmas movies have a special place in my heart. I just wish they were a bit less formulaic. Though my fave twist in one was where hashtag girlboss PR exec woman was stranded/visiting someplace & stayed in an old house & ended up falling in love with the man who lived there...and he turned out to be a ghost. Lol.
I love and I mean LOVE the “A Christmas Prince” series on Netflix. I can’t help it. The main actress has been a fave of mine since iZombie and it’s fun feeling like a kid watching a Disney princess film again. I will say, I don’t give cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies the time of day UNLESS I see that it features an actor with whom I have a childhood connection or just haven’t seen in awhile and have a soft spot for. Then, the terrible plot doesn’t bother me as much.
5:22 Gabi I kid you not. Back in 2006 I woke up in the middle of the night and there was a large blob in the sky that looked like a star, but was changing in brightness every few seconds. I looked up Stellarium and it wasn't marked as anything on it. It couldn't have been a plane, or a space station or a planet. I got my telescope out of my shelf and was setting it up, but the commotion caused my dad to wake up and told me to shut it and go to sleep since I had school the next day. I thought "oh well I'll probably check it out tomorrow". But it never appeared again. To this day I have no idea what it was and today I have a masters degree in physics with specialization in astronomy. I don't know what I saw that day and I wish there was some way to find out.
Were you actually awake or was it just a dream, that being said you are not the only one to see strange orbs, what they are I do not know, likely something mundane.
Anyone else notice how occasionally the title of the video section goes from merry christmas to a different misspelling of it? My favorite is MEry Chrysssterlmas. That was so funny. Also, the Slim Shady joke was super hilarious. Love your videos
I recently saw a listing on the number of these films where the collection's title was: 'Christmas Movie Posters with White Heterosexual Couples Wearing Red and Green', between 1940 and 2011 we have 21 movies, and then something snapped in 2012, the full list till 2023 consist of 279 (and growing) movies :'D crazy
That "small town" in the Lindsay Lohan movie is actually the local ski resort a couple hours outside of my city. I recognized it from the ski lifts alone. They do fireworks there pretty much every week.
Idk if you're joking or not, but why does she need a body double to kiss him?😭 if my partner needed a whole ass other person to kiss me I'd quit the acting industry
You took the words out of my mouth. Watching Lindsay Lohan feels like a comforting hug from my childhood😂I’ll watch her in any role. She’s always been one of my favorite actresses.
"Get in groups of 4 and discuss" was the funniest thing I can remember seeing recently. I always appreciate SpongeBob references as well. 💛 I am sleep deprived and suffering from food poisoning and don't know what else to say or how to end this. 🤠
You should watch Holiday in Handcuffs. It's easily one of the best Hallmark-esque movies ever, and it's absolutely unhinged. I watched it all the time on ABC Family growing up 😂
Hey excuse me, but for an actual scientist "I don't know what that is" Is absolutely one of the coolest, funnest most exciting answers you can have. It is super awesome when you get something unexpected. I mean unless it turns out to be a glitch or a broken instrument or something; but if you can eliminate technical problems and you still have something you don't understand, holy shit, that could mean your life's work or the life's work of a bunch of future PhDs. You could be the discoverer of something really amazing. "I don't know" is the most important answer in science
Just wanna say Thanks! Because i started watching your vids while looking for a job and it really helped with the constant radio silence after interviews i thought went well. And now i watch while having a job and it helps with the stress of working in IVF
LOL that same guy is in: A December Bride, Christmas in Love, A Christmas Star, Catering Christmas, Christmas Keepsake, Santa Tell Me. He's been making one almost every year since 2018 🤣
Nothing… except maybe it’s supposed to appeal either to people who are lonely at Christmas or people who feel sorry for them. Those are my best guesses and I admit that they are lame.
thanks so much for reminding of that scene from The Room! i just recently broke the habit of saying "hai dough-gee" anytime i saw an animal, and youve just caused me to relapse.
Why does every film that involves amnesia always make the person forget who they are... that's literally impossible, you never forget who you are you forget who everyone else is, you know the people who aren't you, how could you forget you, you're literally the only ever present thing in your life.
Santa's creepy expressions and head tilts reminds me of the Wookiees at the end of the Star Wars Holiday Special, gazing at each other during Life Day.
“Cooking is just chemistry and physics” I haaate how common it is for a Science Girly to use a variation of this line to explain why she can cook, it’s so clunky and I don’t understand why she can’t just know how to cook.
OMG , The movies on netflix are just crazy overthetop. really its like a hallmark movie on steroids. so not for me. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Loving the pet friendly mit for the cat
I just realized that this isnt the first time Chord Overstreet and Lindsey Lohan have acted together. She played herself in Glee for an episode and if im not mistaken (and i hardly ever am when it comes to Glee) they acted together on that.
The only Christmas movies I tolerate is Home Alone 1 and Home Alone 2, everything else… no… Edit: actual from what I’ve heard Die Hard is a good Christmas movie, at least it’s my Nanna’s favourite Christmas movie and I’ve learnt to trust her judgment
Klaus is a pretty great animated Christmas movie that I don’t see talked about much, and it’s one of the best Christmas movies imo. I recommend you check it out!
I have unashamedly seen all of these films, my wife and I like to comatose ourselves with them, they're so cheesy and predictable it's hilarious. I also think you hit the nail on the head about Falling for Christmas as I remember thinking it definitly felt more self-aware; like a tongue in cheek parody of the Hallmark Christmas movie which always seem unaware of how cheesy they are.
there is a food you can get that include eggs from chickens that are raised around cats. the food takes about 3 weeks to take effect but if you keep your cat on that food they will become hypoallergenic and you wont need the glove
If you see something glowing like that as a single point of light during a meteor shower, it is most likely a meteor flying directly towards you! It should explode before it hits you but it's still terrifying.
having Tad not end up with the guy he spent like half the movie with was such a collosal missed opportunity, i was way more invested in their love story than the main one :/
0:28 this guy is actually gay and he was on Daniel tosh’s podcast recently talking about his contract with Netflix about these movies! It is all him yes, it’s his literal job to do these hallmark movies 😂 he’s not even allowed to do other movies around Christmas time lmao
I'm not ashamed to admit that when Gabi said "and then they kiss with the most aggressive lens flare I've ever seen" at 20:48 I thought she meant the guy and Santa and I had to pause the video to stop laughing before finishing it lol
Was staring at the romantic interest like "Why is he so familiar???" Its the man with the fakest sounding name on earth 'Chord Overstreet' aka Sam from Glee. Glad to hear trouty mouth is still around.

I was about to ask why we're ignoring the fact that the love interest is sam 😭
Hey, as long as the cast and crew get paid, they can make as many of these as they want.
It really took until Lindsay Lohan to become an elderly millennial to finally end up in a Hallmark/Lifetime Xmas movie. What a time to be alive.
You're going to be old someday too, just remember
@@KuueenKumihuh
No way, my girlfriend and I LOVE watching yours and Kurtis Conners videos, and what luck that we get two videos in a day, and it's her BIRTHDAY 😂
She's gonna love this
happy birth to your gf!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I watched a Hallmark movie with my mom once called Christmas in Vienna, which is about a violinist who travels to Vienna to play in a Christmas concert, and my mom and I were dying at the inaccuracies. Maybe we were especially predisposed to notice since we’re both musicians and my father is in the military, but it was just so painfully unrealistic. The main character Jess spent all the time before her concert putzing around the city and no time on screen practicing, and when she and the American diplomat had their third act breakdown, it was about him moving, and she was all like “no don’t move again, your kids will be sad, and I’m in love with you”. Like, lady, you think he can afford to not move when that’s literally in his job description, which is his only source of income since, I can’t really remember the details, but I’m pretty sure his wife died? Those kids are better off sad than starving.
I know Lindsay is getting her life back together and I'm happy for that but did they really have to cast her in this movie? Also I love your videos Gabi!
Does anyone else find it kind of existential when the man falls in love with the woman when she has amnesia. Now that she has her memories back, she's a different person than he knew.
Cheesy christmas movies have a special place in my heart. I just wish they were a bit less formulaic. Though my fave twist in one was where hashtag girlboss PR exec woman was stranded/visiting someplace & stayed in an old house & ended up falling in love with the man who lived there...and he turned out to be a ghost. Lol.
Watch A Very Nutty Christmas, it is WILD
So it's the Christmas version of Overboard, the glorious 80s movie with Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn.
I'm so disappointed that I had to scroll down this far for this comment. It's the same movie but christmas.
@@obsi1984 I was like "This is just Overboard Christmas" and started scrolling.
I was looking for this comment
I love and I mean LOVE the “A Christmas Prince” series on Netflix. I can’t help it. The main actress has been a fave of mine since iZombie and it’s fun feeling like a kid watching a Disney princess film again.
I will say, I don’t give cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies the time of day UNLESS I see that it features an actor with whom I have a childhood connection or just haven’t seen in awhile and have a soft spot for. Then, the terrible plot doesn’t bother me as much.
Same here theres a hallmark movie with ingrid from witches of east end and the guy from eureka and i ate that shit up
5:22 Gabi I kid you not. Back in 2006 I woke up in the middle of the night and there was a large blob in the sky that looked like a star, but was changing in brightness every few seconds. I looked up Stellarium and it wasn't marked as anything on it. It couldn't have been a plane, or a space station or a planet. I got my telescope out of my shelf and was setting it up, but the commotion caused my dad to wake up and told me to shut it and go to sleep since I had school the next day. I thought "oh well I'll probably check it out tomorrow". But it never appeared again. To this day I have no idea what it was and today I have a masters degree in physics with specialization in astronomy. I don't know what I saw that day and I wish there was some way to find out.
Were you actually awake or was it just a dream, that being said you are not the only one to see strange orbs, what they are I do not know, likely something mundane.
I swear I say like a weird white comet like thing once.
In Falling for Christmas the dad and the main guy has the exact same haircut, and for some reason I found it hilarious 🤷♀️
Anyone else notice how occasionally the title of the video section goes from merry christmas to a different misspelling of it? My favorite is MEry Chrysssterlmas. That was so funny. Also, the Slim Shady joke was super hilarious. Love your videos
I recently saw a listing on the number of these films where the collection's title was: 'Christmas Movie Posters with White Heterosexual Couples Wearing Red and Green', between 1940 and 2011 we have 21 movies, and then something snapped in 2012, the full list till 2023 consist of 279 (and growing) movies :'D crazy
They made Santa into a creepy voyer? How fitting. 🤣🤣🤣
"He knows when you're asleep, he knows when you're awake, 'cause he watches you day and night.
That "small town" in the Lindsay Lohan movie is actually the local ski resort a couple hours outside of my city. I recognized it from the ski lifts alone. They do fireworks there pretty much every week.
I was singing "chicka chicka Slim Shady" like a second before you threw that in lol. I'm not gonna lie. That kinda made my day.
I watched Falling for Christmas like two weeks ago and I started binging bad Christmas movies because of it.
Fun fact: the lens flare is because it’s not Lindsay but her body double
Idk if you're joking or not, but why does she need a body double to kiss him?😭 if my partner needed a whole ass other person to kiss me I'd quit the acting industry
Some actors are just like that. Might seem weird considering the profession but that's the way it is i suppose @@adumba3709
You took the words out of my mouth. Watching Lindsay Lohan feels like a comforting hug from my childhood😂I’ll watch her in any role. She’s always been one of my favorite actresses.
Upon hearing "my name is" twice, my mind already filled in the Slim Shady part. This video did not disappoint!
Gabi casually glossing over how she was watching the new Space Jam with THE LeBron James, I didn't even know they knew each other
The Santa is actually genuinely making me uncomfortable for some reason and I feel bad because he’s probably just some random nice guy lol
Journey to the Christmas Star is based on an old Norwegian movie that is a must see for many Norwegians! No business women or single dads in sight 😆
"Get in groups of 4 and discuss" was the funniest thing I can remember seeing recently.
I always appreciate SpongeBob references as well. 💛
I am sleep deprived and suffering from food poisoning and don't know what else to say or how to end this. 🤠
Jake Russell is Sam from Glee. He's a good actor and kept me interested in the later seasons
You should watch Holiday in Handcuffs. It's easily one of the best Hallmark-esque movies ever, and it's absolutely unhinged. I watched it all the time on ABC Family growing up 😂
Kurtis Conner has a video on this movie!
Hey excuse me, but for an actual scientist "I don't know what that is" Is absolutely one of the coolest, funnest most exciting answers you can have. It is super awesome when you get something unexpected. I mean unless it turns out to be a glitch or a broken instrument or something; but if you can eliminate technical problems and you still have something you don't understand, holy shit, that could mean your life's work or the life's work of a bunch of future PhDs. You could be the discoverer of something really amazing. "I don't know" is the most important answer in science
I want to see a "scary movie" parody style of movie with this genre, fully exaggerated and digging deep into the tropes that come with it.
Just wanna say Thanks! Because i started watching your vids while looking for a job and it really helped with the constant radio silence after interviews i thought went well. And now i watch while having a job and it helps with the stress of working in IVF
LOL that same guy is in: A December Bride, Christmas in Love, A Christmas Star, Catering Christmas, Christmas Keepsake, Santa Tell Me. He's been making one almost every year since 2018 🤣
Why do almost all Xmas movies involve a romance?! Like wtf does that have to do with Xmas.
Nothing… except maybe it’s supposed to appeal either to people who are lonely at Christmas or people who feel sorry for them. Those are my best guesses and I admit that they are lame.
Yes, and eleven-year girls
thanks so much for reminding of that scene from The Room! i just recently broke the habit of saying "hai dough-gee" anytime i saw an animal, and youve just caused me to relapse.
The cat, nearly unmoving in the background is perfect
Why does every film that involves amnesia always make the person forget who they are... that's literally impossible, you never forget who you are you forget who everyone else is, you know the people who aren't you, how could you forget you, you're literally the only ever present thing in your life.
the "get into groups of 4 and discuss" bit ohmygosh I laughed too hard at that
Falling for Christmas is good! And the Mean Girls reference was *chefs kiss*
The fake/secret santa trope in movies is legit fascinating to me where did it come from how did it start why is it a thing i need answers
Santa's creepy expressions and head tilts reminds me of the Wookiees at the end of the Star Wars Holiday Special, gazing at each other during Life Day.
I really wish Lindsay had used her new pseudo-Arabic accent in Falling for Christmas. 😂
I like how the 2nd movie is just Overboard(I think that's what it's called) but without the really weird stuff
Bad christmas movies are a mood.
You can put them in the background knowing you didnt miss anything
“Cooking is just chemistry and physics”
I haaate how common it is for a Science Girly to use a variation of this line to explain why she can cook, it’s so clunky and I don’t understand why she can’t just know how to cook.
I dont always warch Gabbi Belle, but when i do...
5/5
Merry Xmas folks! Hope all well.
"She spends like 10 seconds crying to the horse, and then is suddenly ok?" That sounds pretty authentic to my lived experience lol.
OMG , The movies on netflix are just crazy overthetop. really its like a hallmark movie on steroids. so not for me. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Loving the pet friendly mit for the cat
I just realized that this isnt the first time Chord Overstreet and Lindsey Lohan have acted together. She played herself in Glee for an episode and if im not mistaken (and i hardly ever am when it comes to Glee) they acted together on that.
The only Christmas movies I tolerate is Home Alone 1 and Home Alone 2, everything else… no…
Edit: actual from what I’ve heard Die Hard is a good Christmas movie, at least it’s my Nanna’s favourite Christmas movie and I’ve learnt to trust her judgment
Klaus is a pretty great animated Christmas movie that I don’t see talked about much, and it’s one of the best Christmas movies imo. I recommend you check it out!
@@alexisdogbo7958 oh I just remembered Klaus!! I’ve never watched it but I’ve watched a therapist and filmmaker talk about it and it seems great!!
But...Arthur Christmas....
I love the way your cat is just asleep on an AV receiver like it's a bed especially for them.
I have unashamedly seen all of these films, my wife and I like to comatose ourselves with them, they're so cheesy and predictable it's hilarious. I also think you hit the nail on the head about Falling for Christmas as I remember thinking it definitly felt more self-aware; like a tongue in cheek parody of the Hallmark Christmas movie which always seem unaware of how cheesy they are.
there is a food you can get that include eggs from chickens that are raised around cats. the food takes about 3 weeks to take effect but if you keep your cat on that food they will become hypoallergenic and you wont need the glove
This is my favorite video of yours. The tone, jokes, editing, etc. are all perfect!
If you see something glowing like that as a single point of light during a meteor shower, it is most likely a meteor flying directly towards you! It should explode before it hits you but it's still terrifying.
listen i unironically love falling for christmas. It’s terrible but i love it.
having Tad not end up with the guy he spent like half the movie with was such a collosal missed opportunity, i was way more invested in their love story than the main one :/
10:40 the creepy guy who kidnaps kids through discord and takes them to drakes basement
I saw that my name is slim shady coming from a mile away, but I still lost it when you threw it in there.
The timing was a true chef’s kiss
omfg the love interest is Sam from glee 😭😭
6:59 I recognize that ski hill. That is mount Pakenham in Ontario Canada. It was the hill I learned how to ski on.
gabi you have unlocked my bad Christmas movie era
The end shot of you petting a cat with a glove while another cat enters the frame and explaining your allergy to cats is golden. Literally made my day
0:28 this guy is actually gay and he was on Daniel tosh’s podcast recently talking about his contract with Netflix about these movies! It is all him yes, it’s his literal job to do these hallmark movies 😂 he’s not even allowed to do other movies around Christmas time lmao
This Santa has some uncanny valley vibes and if you told me that they just put like four filters onto an extra, I would absolutely believe you
I’ve watched falling for Christmas 10 times at my granny’s I know everything off by heart at this point😭
Gabi's editing is top notch. It's just so damn good
This xmas season, we’re definitely all stars 🌟
Or at least we will be, b/c Hallmark will inevitably hire us before they stop making star movies.
@ville__ I’m so glad to meet Tommy Tallarico himself in the comments section!
Your mother must be so proud.
Found you 2 days ago and i have been binging non stop😂😂
RUclips basically wakes me up now with a video of you.
And you are very funny
I'm not ashamed to admit that when Gabi said "and then they kiss with the most aggressive lens flare I've ever seen" at 20:48 I thought she meant the guy and Santa and I had to pause the video to stop laughing before finishing it lol
Not gonna lie you made me laugh throughout the whole video. This is peak comedy I love it
Your videos are so genuine, positive, and hilarious. So happy to have a wholesome creator to watch. Keep up the amazing work!
Was staring at the romantic interest like "Why is he so familiar???" Its the man with the fakest sounding name on earth 'Chord Overstreet' aka Sam from Glee. Glad to hear trouty mouth is still around.
