Christmas in a Real-Life Hallmark Town!

Have you ever watched a Hallmark Christmas movie and thought, “Does anyone actually live in a place like that?” Well, wonder no more, Cousins!

 

In this episode, we’re chatting with Samantha, who actually grew up in a real-life Hallmark town in Michigan and now spends her holidays in South Haven, MI, home of twinkling lights, lakeside charm, and @RechargeCoffee (where the cocoa flows like Christmas spirit).

 

We get the inside scoop on what it’s really like to celebrate Christmas in a small town — the festivals, the snow-covered main streets, the holiday traditions that feel straight out of a movie… and maybe even a few behind-the-scenes surprises that Hallmark never shows.

 

Cousin Seth reconnects with his hometown friend, Cousin Chad tries not to pack his bags mid-episode to move there, and together we discover whether life in a Hallmark-style Christmas town is truly as magical as it looks — or if it’s all peppermint-scented smoke and mirrors.

 

So pour yourself a mug, cozy up, and come live vicariously through Samantha’s story of small-town Christmas magic come to life.

A Ping Pong Kung Fu Christmas with Shawn Lee

Producer and multi-instrumentalist Shawn Lee has a history of making recordings that hover uncertainly in time. Sounds from different eras and genres come together in his music to sound like lost, regional 45s.

We talk about his influences–library music and hip-hop–as well as his two Christmas albums: A Very Ping Pong Christmas from Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra (2007) and Kung Fu Christmas by Shawn Lee (2021).

It’s a Canadian Christmas! with Glen Warren from Season’s Eatings

Merry November everyone! I’ve got another jam-packed episode today! First of all, we circle back to last week’s episode topic and I share some more information about the 1990’s tv special, Merry Christmas George Bailey! Christmas Podcast Network roving reporter Tim Babb shares an exclusive interview with Jimmy Hawkins, the actor who played Tommy Bailey in the original It’s a Wonderful Life film! He also produced the tv special that I spoke about in the last episode. Thank you so much Tim for sharing this with us!

Then we head up north and about as far east as we can go, to Newfoundland, Canada! We stop in to visit with Glen Warren, who is hard at work on this season of his podcast Season’s Eatings. We talk about Christmas traditions, foods, movies, and more that can be found in Canada and especially Newfoundland! (And what’s up with that extra half hour time zone difference?)

Warning: this episode might make you hungry!

Hallmark Happy Hour: A Newport Christmas — Do We Want That Time Back?

Grab your favorite holiday brew and prepare for another Hallmark Happy Hour!

 

This time, the Cousins and crew are diving headfirst into the time-bending world of “A Newport Christmas” — a Hallmark time-travel movie that left us asking one important question:

Do we wish we could travel back in time and never have watched it… or was it actually a Christmas classic in disguise?

 

We’re once again teaming up live with Joe, The Christmas Aficionado, for a simulcast across his YouTube channel and our podcast feed — a festive collaboration the Hallmark world didn’t know it needed but now can’t stop talking about.

 

Joining Cousin Chad, Cousin Seth, and the King of All Superfans, Cousin Lee, is the always-insightful Shannon, co-host of The Christmas Morning Podcast monthly Party episodes, bringing her Hallmark expertise, her movie takes, and, of course, her perfectly paired holiday beer.

 

So raise your glass, adjust your Santa hat, and join us for an episode full of time travel, taste testing, movie mayhem, and enough laughs to fill Santa’s sleigh — because when it’s Hallmark Happy Hour, things are bound to get a little merry and muddled.
