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!

A Very Suite Predictable Oy-fair: Hallmark’s A Suite Holiday Romance & Oy to the World!
In this week’s episode, we savor the festive flavors of Hallmark’s latest entries in the holiday movie canon. We start with a results recap from last week—She’s Making a List and Single on the 25th—where we compare what we predicted based solely on the titles to what actually unfolded on screen. Were we holiday-prophets? Were we misled by the promise of yuletide puns? Or did the movies deliver classic Hallmark charm exactly where we expected it?
After crunching the numbers and awarding this week’s bragging rights, we look ahead to two brand-new titles: A Suite Holiday Romance and Oy to the World!. With no trailers, synopses, or clues—just the names—we construct our best guesses about the plots, the character journeys, the romantic beats, and the inevitable holiday life lessons. Whether it’s a meet-cute in a hotel lobby or a multicultural holiday mash-up filled with comedy and heart, we break it down, build it up, and score the predictability at every turn. Expect spirited conversation, a dash of skepticism, generous helpings of cozy holiday cheer, and plenty of laughter as we continue our mission to predict Hallmark movies with absurd confidence. If you love Hallmark, love to lovingly tease Hallmark, or just enjoy listening to people confidently guess things they can’t possibly know, this episode is a gift wrapped in twinkle lights.
Rate, review, and subscribe — or you might end up caught between a Suite Holiday Romance meet-cute and an Oy to the World! meltdown, forced to resolve emotional baggage in a festively decorated lobby while a precocious child insists you believe in miracles.
