A (Fabricated) Christmas Story: Guess Which Holiday Movie Is Real
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping fake holiday movies plots into the ol’ VCR.
I mentioned this in the podcast piece, but I’m a fan of My Brother, My Brother, and Me (aka MBMBaM), and during the holidays, Justin used to play this game with Travis and Griffin where he and Sydnee (his wife) would write a series of fake holiday movie plots, mix them in with real movie plots, and have Travis and Griffin guess which were fake and which were real.
So, I thought it would be fun if we also played that game here at B Movies.
You’ll find five movie plots below. Four are completely fabricated, and one is real.
And no, I don’t know what it says about me that I could write these so quickly.
You’ll find the answers at the very bottom, but I highly recommend playing along because I had a lot of fun writing these, and, tbh, I could probably get the other four greenlit yesterday with little to no revisions.
Alrighty, that should do it for introductions and disclaimers.
Without further ado, let’s play A (Fabricated) Christmas Story:
Dawn We Now
Dawn and her mother, Grace, have been a dynamic duo ever since her father (and Grace’s husband) died in a tragic car accident on Christmas Eve. However, the older Dawn gets, the more she senses her mother’s loneliness.
Derek is a recent widower whose late wife promised him that he would find love again after her passing, but Derek is reluctant.
But, when Derek takes a new job at Dawn’s middle school, Dawn gets the idea to bring Grace and Derek together for a little holiday magic and to help the two of them find the love they’ve been searching for.
A Kountry Kristmas
Kelsey Kent is the VP of Marketing for her company and usually spends the holidays working and dodging her family’s phone calls. This year, her boss needs her to travel to the small town of Kountry, Tennessee to meet with a client who isn’t happy with the way their brewery is currently being marketed for the holidays.
Kelsey reluctantly agrees, only to find that the owner of the brewery is the very charming James, who might be able to teach her a thing or two about work/life balance and the importance of family.
Mr. St. Nick
Nick is living the dream in Miami, avoiding all of his responsibilities. There’s just one catch: Nick is actually the heir to the Santa Claus throne, and it’s time for him to take over for his dad. Not to mention, Nick is falling for someone while being engaged to a con artist. Can Nick balance love, destiny, and a ho-ho-ho lot of drama?
The Nutcracker and Me
Claire’s dating life is a disaster, and every swipe right is hopeless. On the way home from yet another terrible date, Claire drops into the new antique store in town to decompress. Wanting to help with Claire’s dating dilemma, the shop’s eccentric owner, Phoebe, gifts her a “special” nutcracker. The problem is, Phoebe didn’t exactly explain to Claire that this particular nutcracker can come to life. Will Claire finally find the love she’s been looking for, or is her heart destined to be cracked?
There’s No Business Like Snow Business
Aspiring screenwriter, Allie, finally gets her big break after being hired for the writing staff on a new holiday movie. The only problem is that, unbeknownst to her, Allie’s ex-boyfriend, Jack, is the director. And the bigger problem is that Jack’s now engaged to the film’s star. Can Allie and Jack move past their differences and rekindle their romance to make a holiday hit, or will Allie leave Jack out in the cold?
The real movie is…
DRUMROLL PLEASE…
Yes, I’m serious.

A Glance Of The Sugar Plumb Fairies: A Brief History Of The Nutcracker
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping The Nutcracker into the ol’ VCR.
Now, I have to come clean about something from the get-go.
I LOVE the music of The Nutcracker.
I think the ballet is beautiful and takes so much talent and skill, but I would rather listen to the music of The Nutcracker than watch the ballet.
However, I do think that since I love the music, it’s worth talking about the history of The Nutcracker and throwing out some of the film adaptations I enjoyed growing up.
So, let’s get to it.
The Nutcracker was written/composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1892 and is based on the short story of the same name by Alexandre Dumas (where are my Count of Monte Cristo girlies at?) from 1844, which is actually based on a short story written by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s The Nutcracker and the Rat King from 1816.
The TL;DR of The Nutcracker is as follows: On Christmas Eve, a girl is gifted a nutcracker that comes to life, takes her to a magical land, and battles a rat king.
And yes, it sincerely ends with a big ol’ dream theory reveal.
(I feel like I don’t have to give a spoiler warning for a story that’s been around for over 200 years)
The Nutcracker premiered on December 18, 1892 and…flopped.
I know, right?
The reasons for its lukewarm reception seem to be chalked up to two different things:
- People seemed to prefer the score to the actual dancing, citing the use of children and the underutilization of the main ballerina as their biggest complaints.
- Even in 1892, people still thought the book was better.
But, it does seem like there were a lot of contradictory reviews overall.
However, in 1919, choreographers like Alexander Gorsky began staging productions that were abridged, gave more dances to the leads, etc…, and it made The Nutcracker start popping OFF.
Obviously, the original choreographers, Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, were super talented, but the people want what the people want. 🤷♀️
Since then, The Nutcracker has become a staple of holiday pop culture with annual performances across the world, revamped versions of the compositions by groups like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and multiple film adaptations.
And, that brings us to some of the film versions of The Nutcracker I loved growing up.
Without further ado, here are three animated adaptations of The Nutcracker little baby Baillee loved:
- The Nuttiest Nutcracker*
- Barbie in the Nutcracker
- Care Bears Nutcracker Suite
*Fun fact: KP once laughed so hard at the farting kidney beans that she peed her pants.

Drawing A Blank #8: Holiday Animated Specials You May Have Forgotten About – Part Two
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping more holiday animated specials into the ol’ VCR.
When I was writing the first holiday edition of Drawing a Blank, I had to make a call on whether to a) add 20 specials in or b) write a part two later on, and I figured that y’all wouldn’t mind a twofer.
(Also, if you subscribe to the B Movies Channel, you already knew this was happening 😏)
So, I’ve curated a list of 10 more animated specials (and movies) that you may have totally forgotten about.
Before we dive in, if you’re new here, hello!
Drawing a Blank is a series where I remind you of 10 cartoons that you may have forgotten existed, and we’re extending the DAB universe to include specials and movies for the holiday season.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are 10 holiday animated specials and episodes that’ll make you wish you could get a Jack in the Box antenna ball with your Sourdough Jack:A Flintstones Christmas Carol

You Better Watch Out…No, Seriously: A Dive Into The Legend Of Krampus
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Krampus into the ol’ VCR.
Okay friends, it’s finally time.
Let’s talk about Krampus.
And no, I’m not talking about the movie that made the way Adam Scott says “honey” my Roman Empire.
I’m talking about the horned baddie himself.
Krampus is basically Santa’s foil in that instead of just giving naughty children coal like Kris Kringle, he, um, drags them to Hell, among other things.
The story goes that Krampus acts as Santa’s opener and visits all the bad kids on December 5th (Krampus Night) before Santa makes his rounds on December 6th (the Feast of St. Nicholas) to give presents to all the good kids.
We’re sincerely not going to talk about how long I tried to write a joke based on the whole “footprints in the sand” bit
Krampus is described as a tall, goat-like creature with giant horns, hooves, a long, forked tongue (like, show me what that tongue do, long), black fur, and fangs.
(Think Black Phillip, Satan, and Mr. Tumnus blended together)
He’s also said to carry a large sack, but instead of presents, it’s used to carry children to Hell, as previously mentioned.
Additionally, Krampus carries chains that are said to symbolize the chains that God placed upon Satan.
And before you say it, yes, I know how incredibly fucked up this entire situation is.
Moving on.
While it’s unclear how the legend of Krampus originated, it might go back as far as the 8th century, which is WILD.
I can’t even begin to unpack how or why this is doing something for me
One of the funniest parts of this whole ordeal is that, apparently, you’re supposed to offer Krampus schnapps (which is somehow not the craziest part of the folklore).
As in, you’re supposed to give schnapps to the giant goat man who may or may not throw you in a burlap sack and deliver you to Hades.
Krampus has made a name for himself over the years, as his legend has spawned parades, festivals, greeting cards, and several movies. He’s even appeared in shows like The Venture Bros and video games like CarnEvil.
While he may have a mysterious past (we love intrigue), I have a feeling that Krampus’s future will continue to be full of pop culture infamy.
So, I would be good if I were you.

“Laughter Through Tears Is My Favorite Emotion”: A Spotlight On Dolly Parton
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Dolly Parton into the ol’ VCR.
On January 19, 1946, Dolly Rebecca Parton was born in Pittman Center, Tennessee.
(And yesHello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Dolly Parton into the ol’ VCR.
On January 19, 1946, Dolly Rebecca Parton was born in Pittman Center, Tennessee.
(And yes, we’re skipping my usual joke here because it’s Dolly freakin’ Parton, and she deserves better than that)
Dolly Parton was one of 12 children and has stated numerous times that they grew up in poverty.
When Dolly Parton was young, her family moved to Locust Ridge and into the infamous cabin recreated at Dollywood.
Dolly Parton began singing in her grandfather’s church when she was six and began playing guitar at seven.
After she graduated high school (the day after, in fact), Dolly Parton moved to Nashville, where she quickly signed with Combine Publishing.
She and her uncle wrote several hit songs, and, a year later, she would go on to sign with Monument Records at only 19 years old.
In 1967, Dolly Parton’s first country single, “Dumb Blonde” (which is one of my absolute favorites), cracked the top 30 on the country billboard chart, followed by “Something Fishy,” which would crack the top 20.
Then, in 1967, Porter Wagoner gave her a spot on The Porter Wagoner Show, as well as his traveling road show.
After a rocky start (she replaced another performer and people were goofy about it), Dolly Parton was accepted by audiences and signed with RCA Records, where she released another one of my absolute favorites, “Just Because I’m a Woman.”
Surprisingly, though, she actually had yet another rocky start, with her and Porter Wagoner finding more success as a duo than Dolly Parton did as a solo artist (like…what). However, “Jolene” did top the charts.
In 1974, Dolly Parton decided to leave Porter Wagoner’s show and famously wrote “I Will Always Love You” to commemorate the time they spent together (which was written on the same night as “Jolene”).
From there, she would go on to release hits like “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” (which kind of flopped at the time, even though it’s another favorite), “Here You Come Again” (my all-time favorite), “Two Doors Down,” and about 1000 other hits, including “9 to 5,” which would become the title song for the movie of the same name and jumpstart her acting career.
After 9 to 5, Dolly Parton would go on to star in movies like The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Steel Magnolias, while also maintaining one of the most influential musical careers of all time.
I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention all of Dolly Parton’s contributions to pop culture, like helping produce Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the show), as well as her philanthropy, like helping fund Moderna’s Covid vaccine and creating the Imagination Library, which sends free monthly books to children under the age of five to promote literacy.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, y’all.
I know that I usually cut it here, but I’m gonna gush about Dolly Parton for a second.
Dolly Parton has been one of my heroes for a very, very long time.
I’ve always admired her writing and lyricism as well as the fact that she’s always unabashedly herself. Not to mention how she also decided to move away from home to follow her dreams.
I’ve met and/or been around my fair share of celebrities throughout the years, and I’m really good at keeping my cool. However, I can honestly tell you that I would probably start crying if I met Dolly Parton.
Just freakin’ bawling.
There’s not much more that I can say about Dolly Parton that hasn’t already been said.
Dolly, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
(I mean this with sincerity every time I say it, but it just really hits different with Dolly)
Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Dolly Parton content:
- 9 to 5
- Unlikely Angel*
- Steel Magnolias
- Hannah Montana
- A Smoky Mountain Christmas
- The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
*Note: I do want to flag that Allison Mack is in this movie as a teen, and we obviously, in no way, condone any of her actions with NXVIUM.

Joy To The World (And Promotions): Holiday Gimmicks I Think We Should Bring Back
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some holiday gimmicks from my childhood into the ol’ VCR.
If you don’t know by now, I’m a SUCKER for a gimmick, and I have been ever since I was a kid.
That’s why, today, I wanted to revisit some of my favorite holiday gimmicks from fast food chains from holiday seasons past.
Some of these things I still have to this day, and others may be in storage, but, either way, I have really fond memories of going with KP to get them or putting them out during the holiday season.
I’ve also out-obscured myself on one, so props to me.
Alrighty, I think that does us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are six holiday gimmicks I think we should bring back:
1. The Whataburger Christmas Record
I couldn’t find a lot of info on this one, outside of the fact that there were coupons inside the front cover. I may or may not have purchased one off eBay this morning, though, and I can’t wait for it to come in. Plus, I think I have my original copy somewhere in storage.
2. Jack In The Box Antenna Toppers
These bad boys first arrived on the scene back all the way back in 1995 and came with Sourdough Jacks. Over the years, they’ve released several variations, including a snowman, reindeer, and New Year’s Eve-themed balls. From what I could find, I think the last antenna ball was released in 2015, but I would honestly love to see them make a return in some form. Maybe as a figurine?
3. McDonald’s Muppet Babies
Back in 1988, McDonald’s released a trio of Christmas-themed Muppet Babies in Kermit, Fozzie, and Miss Piggy. Honestly, these could be released today without any revamps because the nostalgia is real.
4. Burger King’s Rodney and Friends
Okay, so I actually DO still have some of these because they were quintessential decorations in my house. From what I can find, these were released in 1984 and were some sort of collaboration with Hallmark. BK offered an entire family of reindeer named Rodney, Rhonda, Randy, and Ramona for $1.99 a piece, and I think I might need to get a tattoo.
5. Whataburger Bendable Whatapals
Okay, so I’ve outdone myself on niche memories with this one. This one is so obscure that outside of one eBay listing, I couldn’t find a single thing about these. I vividly remember a Santa, reindeer, and snowman, though, and I’m almost positive I still have these in storage.
6. McDonald’s 101 Dalmatians Snow Globes
And finally, the thing I miss the most. A lot of people probably don’t know this, but I collected snow globes as a kid, and I got a new one every year. That includes the 101 Dalmatians snow globes from McDonald’s. These bad boys were available during the 1996 holiday season and apparently retailed for only $1.99 a pop. My sister and brother-in-law are actually moving in the next few months, and I *think* my original collection is actually in their garage, so fingers crossed. 🤞

All Is Calm, The TV’s Bright: 10 Of My Favorite Christmas And Holiday Episodes
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite Christmas/winter holiday episodes into the ol’ VCR.
In keeping up with the tradition of this week, we have more holiday content coming at you because a) it’s that time of the year and b) we have some big pieces cooking in the background, including a brand-new LCA and a brand-new piece on Inside. 👀
Moving on.
Now, we all know I have my annual rewatches, but there are some Christmas/winter holiday episodes that I don’t rewatch every single year but still love.
So, this list is going to be a mix of both.
There are gonna be some familiar favorites, but I think there might also be some surprises.
She said, knowing good and well that none of these will probably be surprises.
I also need to give some CWs/TWs up top for “Fishes” and “White Christmas”:
“Fishes” contains depictions of addiction, emotional and verbal ab*s*, and all like topics.
“White Christmas” contains depictions of su*c*d*, murder, SA, and all like topics.
As with our other CWs/TWs, I always highly recommend researching these episodes before watching and/or having a trusted person watch these episodes first.
Additionally, “Arnold’s Christmas” does depict scenes of war, and I wanted to flag that as well.
(Plus, it’s really sad but also really heartwarming)
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.
Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite Christmas/winter holiday episodes:
“Fishes” – The Bear
This isn’t just one of my favorite Christmas/winter holiday episodes of a show, but I think it’s one of the best episodes of television I’ve ever seen. The cast they pulled for this episode is incredible, and they captured the chaos of the holidays paired with family baggage in a way that cuts deep. If you’ve never seen an episode of The Bear, you can always watch this one as a standalone.
“Arnold’s Christmas” – Hey Arnold!
This episode never fails to make me cry, and I think it’s a prime example of how the power of animated series can be overlooked. Mr. Hyunh’s story is so heartbreaking, and I can’t give the writers enough kudos for writing such a poignant episode. If you’ve never seen this episode and need both a happy and sad cry.
“Christmas Who?” – SpongeBob SquarePants
For those who don’t know, I sincerely watch “Christmas Who?” every single Christmas Eve, along with The PowerPuff Girls: “Twas the Fight Before Christmas. You honestly can’t beat early SpongeBob, and the running donkey joke throughout still gets me every time.
“Depth Takes a Holiday” – Daria
I clearly wasn’t in the writers’ room for this episode, but I feel like MTV forced the Daria crew to make a holiday episode, and they wrote this as a giant fuck you. It’s razor-sharp, and I love that it isn’t relegated to a single holiday but that they purposely threw all of them together. If you need a reminder of why Daria is one of my favorite shows, check this one out.
“White Christmas” – Black Mirror
Sometimes, I forget how dark Black Mirror was when it started (I mean, my favorite episode is “White Bear”). Don’t get me wrong—y’all know that I really liked some of the episodes from the most recent season. However, some of these darker episodes are so well done that it makes me miss the older seasons. Also, this is just another reminder to check the CWs/TWs for this one.
“O’ Christmas Pete” – The Adventures of Pete and Pete
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m so glad The Adventures of Pete and Pete came out when it did. This show could never work now, and I don’t know if it would even be greenlit, tbh. It’s sincerely one of my favorite shows of all time, and the holiday episodes only make me love it more.
“The Bracebridge Dinner” – Gilmore Girls
I know that there are a couple of actual Christmas episodes of Gilmore Girls, but the episode that really puts me in the holiday spirit is “The Bracebridge Dinner” episode. There’s just something so cozy and comforting about it that makes me want to settle in with a hot chocolate and big, comfy quilt.
“Merry Christmas, Johnny Rose” – Schitt’s Creek
I think Schitt’s Creek is one of the best written sitcoms of all time. Full stop. And, the Christmas episode is no exception. I love that there’s only one holiday episode in the series’s entire run because it shows how carefully crafted it was.
“Christmas Special” – 30 Rock
First and foremost, I know that there are things in 30 Rock that definitely don’t hold up, and I’ll 100% admit that. But, this holiday special gets me every single time. From the Lemon Party joke to the entire setup of Liz’s brother’s accident, it just shows how well written this show is overall.
(But again, even though 30 Rock is one of my favorite shows, there are DEFINITELY things that didn’t age well)
“The Chrismukkah That Almost Wasn’t” – The O.C.
I know that people are probably shocked that I went with this episode over “The Best Chrismukkah” ever, but hear me out. “The Chrismukkah That Almost Wasn’t” is prime 2000s teen drama. There’s a love triangle, a secret love child, an indie soundtrack, you name it. I’m not necessarily saying it’s the best Chrismakkuh episode, but it’s definitely my favorite.

I Have Something To Ad #3: Commercials That Live In My Head Rent Free – Holiday Edition
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite Christmas/winter holiday commercials into the ol’ VCR.
If you were anything like me as a kid, you loved commercials.
I mean, I obviously loved the shows that came on between them, but I would sing along with the jingles and kick my little legs to the rhythm.
While Halloween commercials are definitely my favorite, holiday commercials are a close second.
So, I thought what better way to celebrate the first week of December than with a holiday edition of I Have Something To Ad.
And lemme tell ya, we have all the hits from the Santa M&Ms commercial to the Campbell’s snowman child commercial. You know the ones.
And, as I always say, if you don’t know, well then, you’ve come to the right place.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.

“What If I Told You That Today You’ll Leave Here Different?”: A Spotlight On Steven Yeun
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Steven Yeun into the ol’ VCR.
On December 21, 1983, Yeun Sang-Yeop was born…but you probably know him better as Steven Yeun.*
*Note: We use a different name order in Western culture.
Steven Yeun lived in South Korea until his family moved to Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada when he was five. Later on, his family would then move to Michigan, where he graduated high school.
Steven Yeun went on to attend Kalamazoo College and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. During his tenure at Kalamazoo College, he became friends with Jordan Klepper’s sister, which would lead to him not only pursuing acting, but also joining Jordan Klepper in Chicago to be a part of The Second City.
Steven Yeun’s acting career took off a few years later after he was cast in AMC’s The Walking Dead.
From there, his career began to take off with roles in movies like Burning and Sorry to Bother You, and shows like Beef.
There’s not much more that I can say about Steven Yeun that hasn’t already been said.
Steven, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
