Hallmark ChannelThere's a chill in the air. Thanksgiving is firmly in the rearview. And all your favorite ‘90s TV stars are popping up left and right on the Hallmark and Lifetime channels. That can only mean one thing: The holiday season is upon us.
With the countdown to our favorite end-of-year festivities ticking away, the good people at Hallmark and Lifetime, as always, are helping us get in the holiday spirit with a bevy of TV movies starring the likes of Candace Cameron Bure, Danica McKellar, Tatyana Ali, Lacey Chabert, et al. In honor of those stars who turn up year after year, like clockwork, in a new holiday movie of their very own, E! News is proud to present 2017's Holiday TV Movie Plot Generator. Ever wondered what your own Hallmark holiday movie would be? Read on to find out! (And keep the fun going with our 2015 and 2016 editions, too!)
