Pride, Prejudice, and Mistletoe (2018) features a stellar cast including Hallmark royalty Lacey Chabert and network favorite Brendan Penny. The classic Hallmark setup is here: a career-driven woman heads home for the holidays to save something important (this time, a struggling charity gala) while reconnecting with her high school rival. It was a hugely popular storyline back in the day—but can writer Nina Weinman’s eight-year-old script still hold up in 2026?

With a title like Pride, Prejudice, and Mistletoe, Jane Austen fans might also expect a few nods to the 1813 classic. Does the movie deliver?

Rich pushes for a mid-movie kiss and questions the suspiciously low Christmas tree prices, while Rene falls for the heartfelt father-daughter moments and can’t understand why Carl refuses to give up on Darcy.

As always, we do our Hallmark duty—breaking down our favorite moments, naming the best supporting character, and crowning the movie’s MVP. We also debate whether Luke and Darcy would still be together a year after that final kiss… and speaking of the kiss, was the mistletoe enough to earn the smooch a solid grade?

As always… we keep it fun, keep it real, and keep it Hallmark Christmas. 🎄
