As we all know, the Christmas Cousins are famed for their hard-hitting investigative journalism (Pulitzer pending!). In Episode 165, they’re back to tackle another high-stakes exposé — armed with the precision, diligence, and, naturally, knee-jerk reactions that only true sleuths bring to the holiday season. This time, they’ve set their sights on Hallmark Channel, that beloved beacon of Christmas cheer, facing allegations of age discrimination more shocking than running out of eggnog on Christmas Eve!

 

Word on the (snow-covered) street is that a former Hallmark casting director claims the network has been quietly replacing its seasoned holiday stars — with younger talent.

 

Cousin Seth and Cousin Chad unpack these unsettling accusations (translation: they read half the article) and dive deep into what this could mean for Hallmark’s festive future and the fate of our cherished Christmas icons. Is Hallmark simply decking its halls with younger talent, or is there a less-merry truth behind it? Get ready for some real sleigh-bell gossip as the Cousins dig in!

 

Tune in for the Cousins’ cough rigorous analysis and decide for yourself: Is Hallmark really in trouble, or just trying to avoid a future of reruns?

“Do you think Hallmark is too focused on younger stars, or is this just some festive fuss? Which classic Hallmark stars would you miss the most if they were replaced?”
