Happy New Year! There will be no breaks in January this year, so let’s kick the premiere episode of Season 5 off with talking about the first Winter Escape movie, “Love of The Irish.” In addition to the review, I talk about a recent interview a Hallmark actor did on a fellow podcast, and a new incentive that Hallmark+ is bringing to their platform.
