The Great! Romance schedule on Friday is a mix of classic holiday romance and light‑hearted family entertainment. Below are the top picks, the times you’ll love, and a quick opinion on what to watch first.
09:20–10:15 – Memories Of Christmas (2018)
Christina Milian plays Noelle, a city girl who returns to her hometown to claim her late mother’s house. The film is a gentle reminder that love can bloom even in the coldest season.

10:15–11:10 – Rocky Mountain Christmas (2017)
Lindy Booth’s character retreats to a ranch after a messy breakup, only to meet a Hollywood actor who changes her outlook on life.
This offers a refreshing take on the “farmhouse romance” trope; it’s still entertaining and gives a nice dose of scenic charm.
11:10–12:05 – Candy Cane Christmas (2020)
Beverley Mitchell stars as Phoebe, who must find new tradition after her beloved Candy Cane Lane is cancelled.
