Predictably Unexpected
Welcome to Predictably Unexpected — the holiday Hallmark romcom podcast you didn’t know you needed! Your hosts, Holly & Scottie, are obsessed with predictably heartwarming Christmas movies. Think big-city careers, small-town charm, last-minute snowstorms, and just maybe... a kiss under the mistletoe.
Using their official Predictability Scorecard — a totally serious, highly scientific game where they rate each holiday film on classic Hallmark-style tropes. From city vs. small-town settings to surprise character backstories, they’ll predict the plot before they even hit play. If they guess the movie right, they earn points — and yes, there’s a prize (or at least bragging rights) on the line.
What to Expect This Season:
• Weekly episodes all through the holiday season (hopefully)
• Predictions, recaps, and hilarious real-time reactions
• A rotating lineup of festive films, friendly competition, and a lot of hot takes (and hot cocoa)
So grab your coziest blanket, pour yourself something peppermint-flavored, and get ready to celebrate the most predictably unexpected time of the year!

Reporting for Romance: Hallmark’s Christmas on Duty
The countdown continues, and we’re back on the front lines of Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas movie predictions! This week, we’re reviewing our battlefield results from A Christmas Angel Match and Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! —two festive missions full of angels, a weatherman, and more small-town charm than a snow globe factory. How accurate were our guesses? Let’s just say our Predictability Scorecard is seeing both victories and tactical errors.
Then, it’s time to salute our next challenge: Christmas on Duty. With a military backdrop and a guaranteed dose of mistletoe, will this one bring a soldier home for the holidays, or maybe pair a disciplined officer with a free-spirited hometown hero? One thing’s for sure—love and duty are about to go head-to-head, and we’ll be here to predict every salute, snowflake, and soft-focus kiss along the way.
So polish your ornaments, stand at ease, and join us as we predict Christmas on Duty—because when it comes to Hallmark movies, we never retreat from a good holiday romance.
Rate, review, and subscribe — or you’ll find yourself accidentally engaged to a rugged soldier who just came home for Christmas and only knows two things: honor... and holiday proposals.
