Christmas Hallmark movie bingo is my latest just-for-fun project. The twelfth edition of Oscar bingo is on the horizon, and along the way I’ve made Presidential Debate bingo and So You Think You Can Dance bingo. But the glorious tropes in Hallmark Christmas movies might make the best bingo of all. If you or a loved one have been sucked into the fantasy formula of holiday TV movies, you know what I’m saying. Print yourself some bingo cards and create a Magical Royal Enchanted Very Merry Christmas To Remember.

Of course you know how to play bingo, but just in case… Print out the number of cards you need. Mark off squares as events occur, and the first person with five in a row wins. There’s no free square in the middle on this one, though I probably should have given you extra charity for Christmas.
It doesn’t matter which year you use the bingo cards. There will always be an endless supply of snowstorms, cancelled flights, and women who leave stressful city jobs after falling for small-town men in pickups. And nobody will ever learn to zip their coat.
Happy holidays!
Are you a holiday Meet Cute movie trope-watcher? Do you have a personal mental checklist that you mark off every time a seemingly innocuous special Christmas gift (a snow globe, advent calendar, or stocking) starts messing with the lead character’s life? Do you lean forward on your sofa when a seemingly innocuous older person (especially when played by an actual star, past or present) seems to know too much about the workaholic protagonist’s life? Or do you just groan and go get another drink when the ex who dumped the lead character in the first 15 minutes suddenly shows up to propose — and the new love interest overhears just enough to cause a Big Misunderstanding?
If so, make it official with these bingo games. (Which also provide cover if you’re a closeted binge-watcher.) Just remember the “Candace Cameron Bure BINGO” is not that lovely actress’s real name.

The Federalist Hallmark bingo game – required reading for trope-watchers, as they go into some detail about facets of the genre like product placement and overzealous house decorating. (Many of these movies feature middle class working parents living in homes and neighborhoods that look like… the work of a professional set decorator.) Candace Cameron Bure mentioned? Not by name, but there’s a cell for “TV star of bygone era.”
