Mistletoe Murders

So enjoyable!

I love mysteries and this one left a major cliffhanger at the end of season one so I hope the next season will be released soon!

Only 6 episodes existing now but I'm hooked!

My favorite elements: the acting is well done!

The main character, Emily, is a mysterious but good natured woman with flashbacks to her past that has yet to be fully unveiled.

There is a budding romance between her and the main detective due to their work together on intriguing murder investigations that happen in the community.

The Christmas theme makes this a festive watch but would be enjoyable any season.

Very enjoyable once I sorted out that it was 3 blocks of repeating episodes broke down into part 1 and part 2. Was completely confused at first and so was my DVR. However, what was with the huge cliffhanger? I'm not wanting to wait until next Christmas for the show to continue! It really didn't have a Christmas feel to it except she works in a Christmas store but it's open year round so the show could continue in the regular season. I really hate cliffhangers and I highly doubt I will be interested if it takes a year for the show to continue. Most of the movies that have follow ups the next year are actually taking place a year later whereas this show really needs to continue directly where it left off for continuity sake.

Smart, compelling and suspenseful! Mistletoe Murders takes a refreshing approach to the all chipper, and ready to mingle characters we're used to getting in Hallmark seasonal offerings. The lead characters are well grounded, sharp, intelligent and a little bit snarky! The lead actors are seasoned and solid. The town actors are a bit over-the-top at times but it provides a nice contrast to Emily's not so bubbly or quirky personality. The chemistry between the leads is wonderful and could work well romantically or platonically. I'm impressed with the fact they chose to stray from the stereotypical teenager and give her character more depth.

The town has a Havenesque vibe that keeps it feeling mysterious as if it holds its own secrets, while at the same time managing to maintain all the warm, Christmas charm and esthetics you'd want in a cozy book to film series mystery!

My family of girls absolutely adores Hallmark Christmas movies and Hallmark Murder Mysteries. Both genres bring something special into our lives-whether it's the heartwarming charm of a snowy love story or the intriguing suspense of a whodunit. This series was the perfect blend of the two, seamlessly combining everything we love about both genres into one captivating experience. From the very first episode, we were hooked, and the excitement carried us through every twist and turn in the story.

One of the standout features of this series was its ability to keep us on the edge of our seats. Just when we thought we had things figured out, a new layer of mystery would unfold, keeping the tension alive and our curiosity piqued. It wasn't just about the puzzles and the suspense, though. The show had a way of intertwining those thrilling moments with the kind of emotional storytelling that Hallmark is known for. This balance made it feel fresh and exciting without losing that heartwarming touch we cherish.

So, we're left with one request: Please, please, please keep making these! This series brought so much joy, excitement, and connection to our family, and we can't wait to see more. Whether it's a continuation of this story or something new, we'll be there, ready to watch and fall in love all over again. Thank you for giving us a show that brought mystery, romance, and holiday cheer together in the best way possible. We're already counting down the days until the next installment!

We loved this murder mystery story ... a Hallmark surprise. Not too dark ... it kept our attention and kept us wanting more, and very entertaining. Acting was excellent. Great chemistry between the Drew and Mooney characters. Sarah Drew is a star ... we want to see more of her and we do not want to see this story end here.

Most murder mysteries are the same ... dark script, dark sullen humorless characters, and endings that leave you sad, disgusting, and often not feeling entertained. But Mistletoe Murders had none of these characteristics thanks to the excellent script, the light and bright setting, and the excellent casting. Well done ... this show is the reason we signed up up for Hallmark streaming for the first time.
