    Good Morning, what's the best way to cheer up a gloomy Monday morning....

    To make Christmas movies battle to the death!!

    It's time to kick off with the playoffs.

    18 Movies enter the playoffs but only 6 can advance. We will have 6 matchups of 3 movies battling it out.

    These movies have only had one nomination each and are all either streaming exclusives or straight to video releases.

    First up we have;

    A Christmas Prince

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7608418/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
    When a reporter goes undercover as a tutor to get the inside scoop on a playboy prince, she gets tangled in some royal intrigue and ends up finding love - but will she be able to keep up her lie?

    Vs.

    The Knight Before Christmas

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10060094/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
    A medieval English knight is magically transported to present-day America where he falls for a high school science teacher who is disillusioned by love.

    Vs.

    The Princess Switch

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8954732/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3
    Competing in a Christmas baking competition in Belgravia, a Chicago baker bumps into the prince's fiancée--who looks just like her. They switch lives for two days.

    It's a battle of Netflix and Vanessa Hudgens it seems, first to 4 advances to the last 64.

    I'll be staying away from these ones where I haven't actually seen the films, at least with the songs I could give them a listen, thats not gonna happen with films so it wouldn't be fair to vote in those circumstances IMO.

    Not familiar with these 3 movies either so I'll stay clear of the voting process for this one too, there will be a couple in the playoffs you will recognise so hang on for them.

    Was just going to post the same. Doesn't feel right and would be unfair to pick one if I haven't watched them.

    The Princess Switch... probably the best of the recent cheesy xmas movies I have seen.

    Preferred it to Knight Before Christmas.

    It's definitely not in the playoffs as it was nominated by a number of people.

    Likewise. But I suspect for different reasons.

    Next Battle is;

    A Christmas Miracle

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10922620/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_2
    When her boss steals her idea for their magazine's cover story, Emma searches for a Christmas miracle to write about with the help of her son and the handsome staff photographer.

    Switched For Christmas

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7038606/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
    Just because they are identical does not mean these twins even like each other. Estranged twin sisters get together for an obligatory pre-Christmas lunch, a year after their mother's death. Both women are unhappy and frustrated with their own lives. Though not close, each is envious of the other's life. What's a twin to do but take advantage of this? And who would be the wiser? They do what any identical twins in need of new outlooks would do: they swap lives until Christmas Day, and by doing so, each woman discovers the true meaning of her life and gains a deeper perspective and appreciation for what she already had

    The Holiday Calendar

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8262802/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
    A struggling but talented photographer inherits an antique holiday advent calendar, the contents of which seem to predict the future. Will this magical calendar lead her to love this holiday season?

    Another battle of the Hallmarks movies, first to 4 or winner at 3pm.
