Sadly, Hallmark has its fair share of horrible TV movies.
Theyre very formulaic with unimaginative narratives, and the plots are easy to guess from start to finish.

But building a life-size gingerbread house for a competition will bring people together, right?
Sadly,Santa Tell Meshould be on the naughty list for itscheesy, magical concept and poor acting.

It only gets better.
The two families have single parents, a mom with one family and a dad with the other.
The thing is, they didnt have to make the impoverished town called Nowhere.

As far as feel-good movies go, this one isnt a Hallmark classic.
Does the plot sound familiar?
Thats because it is very close to that ofThe Santa Clause,starringTim Allen.
