It's hard to imagine a more expensive diet.

From the studio that brought you "Mmm, Paste!"

Absolutely no joke I would watch this all the way through.

The biggest complaint about Hallmark is how they lack creativity and every plot is the same. I feel like the missing piece to their formula is absurdism. Like a love child between the princess switch 2: switched again meets sharknado.

Yeah. I'm imagining Sharknado production levels and Sharknado pacing, but following the Hallmark formula, and with really mundane absurdist details.

  • Those fragile little precious moments figurines and limited edition Star Trek ornaments need to be a recurring favored snack for the competing love interests who are lovable but wrong for our heroes.
  • One of those little Christmas village decorations sets needs to turn out to be an undiscovered life saving medication, when ground down to a fine glittery paste. Feeding it to someone's niece gives her the strength to learn to walk again.
  • Someone's talent for cross stitch needs to solve a decades old mystery about someone else's estranged and now tragically dead parent.
  • A poorly gifted and then ignored-for-years art set needs to be part of the big "they truly love me" reveal moment.

I think we have a potential masterpiece, here.

Is anyone else bothered by the last panel where they suddenly switch places?

It's actually the 3rd panel that is the odd one out, since the 4th panel kept the orientation of both characters from the 1st and 2nd panels.
