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!

List Mode Activated, Relationship Status Deactivated: Hallmark’s She’s Making a List & Single on the 25th
Welcome back to another tinsel-covered episode of our Hallmark holiday deep dive, where we take festive movie titles far too seriously and use our Predictability Scorecard like it’s a scientifically validated diagnostic tool. (Maybe one day.)
We kick things off by revisiting last week’s trifecta of holiday cheer: We Met in December, The Snow Must Go On, and An Alpine Holiday. Did our predictions melt under the pressure, or did we snowball a perfect score? We break down the meet-cutes, the misunderstandings, the mountains, and the mandatory small-town charm to see just how accurate our festive forecasting really was. Spoiler: someone’s prediction ego might grow three sizes this episode.
Then we shift our gaze to the upcoming week’s Hallmark gems: She’s Making a List and Single on the 25th. One sounds like a woman with a spreadsheet and a dream; the other sounds like the world’s most specific relationship status update. Naturally, we dissect both titles with extreme confidence and absolutely no inside information. What kind of list is she making? Who’s single on the 25th? And more importantly, will any of this stop us from wildly guessing the plot? Absolutely not.
So grab your cocoa, your candy canes, and your willingness to suspend disbelief. It's time to analyze, predict, revisit, and mildly roast Hallmark’s latest seasonal offerings—because if we don’t, who will?
Rate, review, and subscribe—or you might wake up on the 25th single, with a list of life lessons longer than your Christmas shopping list.
