Candace Cameron

Why is Candace Cameron allowed to be in the Hallmark movies, with her views about Trump on the View?
She is defending a man who is putting in the KKK in his cabinet. Now heil Trump is being said.
I am so sorry, I cannot watch your movies anymore. I too am a Christian, but, this kind of hate, I cannot support or tolerate.
As long as she is allowed to be on the Show The View, she should not be allowed to be in Hallmark movies. Those two just don't go together.
Thank you.

Hallmark Productions - Boring

I am amazed that with all of the 'corporate knowledge' amassed by the business community, regarding the benefits of reflecting changing market demographics, Hallmark's holiday movies (as well as your movies in general) continue to project the same outdated storylines/images of European themed/represented productions. The business models of K-Mart, Sears, and J.C. Penny's come (and gone) to mind.
Boring.

Small suggestions w/a Thank You

I really hope that you are going to read this. I want to start out by saying, “Thank You & I love all the Hallmark Christmas movies.” They show good values and the stories are down to earth, and they are great. They help people look beyond themselves and see the good that can be.
But I have a small complaint on one of your movies. It is about “Operation Christmas.”; good movie and story line. My husband and I are both retired Master Sergeants in the Army.” He and I both were commenting on many items. So, I am asking you, if you really care about the military and those who serve, please have a military person do the advising, because the military and its rules and traditions are very important.
a. Please have the actors wear the uniforms and metals correctly.
b. Please have all WOMEN wear their hair up and not below their collars.
Again, the movies are great! Thank you so much.

Love the Christmas movies, need diversity

I love your Christmas movies. I used to only watch them after Thanksgiving but now watching em playing early isn't bothering myself nor my wife. (Recently retired & bored I guess). We LIKE the repeat stars like Lacey Chabert n Candice Cameron
Bure! However, as a non Hispanic bilingual Spanish speaker, who taught school in an ethnicly diverse school, I have many friends and acquaintances who are ethnic minorities who celebrate Christmas. Several of your co-stars are ethnic minorities and really nail their role. Why not include those actors in leading roles? I know that people of many races love wholesome Christmas entertainment. Perhaps this would expand your audience! Our countries (USA & Canada) are becoming so diverse so I think the great majority of your audience would be happy to see this change!

Diversity

As a Black man, I hear what others of my race are saying about Hallmark movies and diversity, but I hope they also hear my words loud and clear - Hallmark has the correct amount of diversity for the audience they desire. Instead of trying to change them, move on to another channel. It would be much more productive to request that BET produce Christmas shows than to ask Hallmark to change their business model. They have an audience and formula that fits their business model and it's okay with me. If they see no value in us as an audience, I am truly okay with that. Not everything has to be politically correct.

Diversity

I had to Google to figure if I was the only one that notice the lack of diversity in Hallmark movies.. I've been watching them for the last two days looking for a Hispanic, Asian or African American other than in the background, but no such luck. I guess no one told Hallmark channel that Christmas is not specific to only one race.

Types of commercials

I love this time of year on the Hallmark & HMM channels...except for one thing. We watch the Christmas shows & escape from reality only to be ripped back by all the credit score commercials. I know you have to have sponsors, however ones like these bring us down on what would otherwise be a joyful time with our family.

I Hope That This Will Actually Be Read!

Like many have already mentioned, starting the Christmas movies in October is a bit early, but that is not my real complaint. I absolutely look forward to keeping the Hallmark channel on nonstop, even at my place of business( my clients love it!) The real issue is having to watch the same movies over and over and over again! How about pulling movies from the archives that may have aired many years ago. I'm sure you all have enough movies to air without constantly having to show repeats. Your audience is growing tired of the same old same old.
Now on to my next issue...The lack of diversity!!! Are there only Caucasian actors available to work? The movies are good, but would be even better with more diversity. Shame on you for not allowing all races to be represented in every movie, not just one or two Asian or American Americans. There are countless actors of color in need of movie roles. Times have changed and it's time Hallmark Channel changes or I can assure you that viewers will begin to tune in on other channels instead. I can only pray that 2017 holiday season will be improved.

Lack of Diversity

I'm a big fan of Christmas movies, even ones that are somewhat unrealistic. Your Christmas movies show no diversity and this is quite disturbing. Our country is built on a beautiful mix of cultural differences and you're missing that reality in your movies.
I was watching one of your movies the other day when a Mother and Daughter were choosing a Christmas Tree and when they were ready to purchase they called the clerk and of course he was a young African American. This was so disappointing because there were no other Africans American actors shopping at the tree lot only the young man carrying the tree that they choose.
There is no reason that we can't all enjoy your Christmas movies and feel included. The spirit of this beautiful holiday is to feel the love and joy. Hallmark please take a step next year to portray the true meaning of Christmas in your movies.

Thank you!

The Hallmark Brand is not Imitating Life

Hey Hallmark,
I’m pleased to see that others like my wife and I enjoy the wholesomeness & magic of the Hallmark movies but are also unimpressed with the lack of diversity in them. As Cuban Americans, it would be nice if when we watch these Christmas movies with our families that they could see themselves represented in that wholesomeness & magic,

Christmas is celebrated all over the world by people of different colors and different traditions. White, though a faction of this experience, it doesn’t have proprietary rites to Love, Wholesomeness, and Christmas!

We would Love to see the Hallmark brand add some color to its color movies and be truly reflective of Life!

No diversity

I love Hallmark movies especially at Christmas but sadly I have yet to watch one that has a lead African American or ethnic actor. If you do include us we are always the best friend, the cook, the assistant or the chauffeur. We fall in love too and celebrate this festive time as well. Please let us come together and celebrate diversity it's wonderful because looking at the same thing all the time is boring, not a true representation of the world we live in. I hope this is not how you wish it was......then this conversation needs to be bigger.

Meaning of Christmas

While I love your Christmas movies, I noticed that hardly any of them show the true meaning of Christmas. It would be nice to watch movies that truly celebrate Christ (because, after all, that is the very reason we celebrate every year).
Also, like many others, I noticed the lack of diversity with these movies. There are many people of all races who watch your movies, so it would be nice to see them represented.

Thank you for the movies!

All movies

I love your movies. Watch them all the time when they are on. Up at night and they are life savers. My complaints are. The men often look scruffy. Men and women have greasy hair. Love story part would be better if the actors and actresses were attractive. Some are down right ugly. Some can't act either. You have a great series which would be perfect if you improved the above issues

No Diversity

I'm complaining about your Hallmark Christmas movies. I guess only white people celebrate Christmas! How insensitive is that. I would like to see Hispanics and African Americans, Asians. Sick of them not being primary in the story line. We fall in love just like everybody else. What is your problem with ethnic minorities? Thank you, Joni Garcia!

Too much diversity

First, let me tell you, I absolutely LOVE Hallmark movies, especially Christmas movies!!! THANK YOU for doing such a great job! The only issue I have is when you have a beautiful movie that is based in a small magical white town, you always seem to throw in some black, asian, etc, people into the mix. It seems like you are trying to be more diverse but it is unrealistic for small white towns. I live in a tiny white town in Michigan and I can go a year without coming across non-white people. Nothing against them but it's just unrealistic to throw them into the mix like that.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

No African American Christmas Movies

I love the Hallmark Channel but I think it is terrible that they don't include people of color in their Christmas Movies. We celebrate Christmas too. It"s shameful for a big Corporation like them to excluded people of color. The movie with Vanessa Williams is very old and it's sad that people can only name one Christmas movie that was aired on the channel. I can name hundreds of Caucasian movies with a christmas theme. I think it's time for Hallmark to embrace the different races of people regardless of the color of their skin.

Christmas Overload

I'll join the Choir. Tooooo many redundant Christmas movies - starting way too early. Please stop! You're draining any magic in Christmas left. How about starting in December - and then maybe only in primetime? Otherwise - see ya in January.

Lack of Diversity

Maybe even for one night, all the viewers that would like to see African-Americans actors in a Christmas movie can switch to TV One on November 26 for the premiere of Christmas Swap with Christian Keyes and Dondre Whitfield. I know I will.
I started boycotting Hallmark Christmas channel since last year since I became fed up with not seeing more diverse actors.

Christmas movies

I live in a retirement community of 55+. More than half continue working outside the home. Chatting with many, many people here, two things: we love the Hallmark channels and Christmas programming should not start until Thanksgiving. Many people here apparently do what I do;Hallmark starts Christmas saturation in October so we all pretend Hallmark is off the air. We will re-join your stations in January 2017. Please, knock it off. Stores open on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas decorations appear in stores with the Halloween items in October, please, there is nothing left magical to anticipate anymore. PLEASE BRING CHRISTMAS BACK TO DECEMBER.

So White

I have been watching hallmark movies for a few years now and really love them but I think it's time for me to stop watching now because it makes me think that hallmark thinks that the only people that know how to fall in love or be happy is whites but let me tell you hallmark... you're wrong

Movie

Single Santa seeks mrs. Claus 1 & 2 are the worst movies on your channel. I enjoy watching your channel and all the Christmas movies you play but those 2 are all around awful. And it's been played 2 days in a row. I noticed some people on social media mention disliking those 2 movies and alot of negative comments in agreement. And they were disappointed cause they had to find something different to watch. So I just wanted to give you some input as your channel is very well liked by so many. Thanks for all the wonderful movies you do play. Holiday season is the best! Thank you

Hallmark channel

I love your channel, however I get discouraged with the same old actresses such as Lacey Chabert, Candace CaMerton Buren etc... there demeanor never changea therefore you can always figure the outcome. Bring on some unfamiliar faces, newbies to the industry. That way the watcher does not know what to expect. The same actresses and actors are predictive wirh no surprises.

Too many Christmas movies too early

Hi - every year for the past several I have become more and more disappointed in the Hallmark Channel. Too many Christmas movies 24-7 and starting way too early in the year. A lot of us baby boomers like the Hallmark Channel for the Golden Girls and Frasier just to name a few. I want you to know that the moment you start with the 24-7 Christmas movies, I stop watching the Hallmark Channel until January 2nd. Probably won't make a difference to you but many of my friends do the same. Please think about not offering 24-7 movies for next year.
