Hallmark has a tradition of showing a Hanukkah movie every year. And tonight at 8p this movie is Hanukkah on the Rocks.
Tory (Stacey Farber) is a workaholic lawyer who has no time to meet a man. However, she always has time for her bubbe (Marina Stephenson Kerr), who wants her granddaughter to get married. But Tory doesn’t have time for that.
Until she does, that is because she gets laid off right before Hanukkah, and she doesn’t want to tell her parents and her bubbe. So she is pretending to work from home and take personal days. So when her bubbe asks her to find rare Hanukkah candles, she accepts the mission.
Jay (Daren Kagasoff) is in Chicago to visit his grandfather (Marc Summers), and he is trying to convince him to move down to Florida to be with him and his parents. However, he loves living where he lives.
His grandfather also wants the same candles as Tory’s bubbe, so now they are both looking for them. And luckily, there is one store that has them. Unfortunately, they only have one box. Now, they both have to fight over it.
Eventually, Tory lets Jay have the box. But then she has buyer’s remorse, so she follows him to a bar where his grandfather always goes to. Tory and him immediately get along, but the same cannot be said for Jay and her.
But they will have more time to get to know each other when she starts working as a bartender there. Together, they all work to turn Rocky’s into Hanukkah on the Rocks.
Will Jay and Tory’s relationship go from the rocks to something more? You will have to tune in for an endearing to find out.
I loved this movie, but there were two problems. One, Hallmark aired it on Shabbos. The second is if Jewish men looked like Kagasoff, more Jewish women would marry Jewish men.
I don’t know about you, but I still don’t know what I am going as for Halloween. But, that hasn’t stopped Hallmark Channel from announcing when their 47 Christmas movies will air.
That’s right, 47 new movies and 2 scripted series will air/stream on Hallmark Channel every Friday to Sunday, Hallmark Mystery every Thursday except for Thanksgiving, and Hallmark+ starting on October 18th.
So get ready for the same plot being told in different locations with different actors. Movies that are so sweet you will get a cavity! And depressing because our family gatherings will be nothing like what we see on our televisions. Yet, we can’t stop watching because they are the perfect escape.

Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace joined When Calls the Heart for season six, and they didn’t know how much being cast in that Hallmark series in 2019 was going to change their lives.
Just like a Hallmark movie, the two met, fell in love, and got married! The happy hubby confirmed the news recently at a fan event.
Along with starring on the popular show, the couple also starred in two movies for the Hallmark Channel, Feeling Butterflies and My Grown-Up Christmas.
While McGarry is still with WCTH, his wife left it to star in Paramount+’s Landman.
Hallmark Channel recently announced that the next season of Chesapeake Shores will be its last. Therefore, Chessies will want everyone who has been part of the show to be in the final season.
However, Diane Ladd, who plays the matriarch Nell O’Brien, has some sad news for the fans. “With the announcement of #chesapeakeshores ending with season 6, I just wanted to say I’m working hard to make it back to Canada to say goodbye, but I’m filming a movie and might not be able,” she wrote. “We will see what Gd has in store. Love n Light Diane”
Hopefully, the legendary actress can make it back to say goodbye to the show and her co-stars.
For the first time in Hallmark Channel’s history, they are doing a movie with the Rockettes, who are synonymous with Christmas in NYC. The hick-kicking dancers will be joined by Ann-Margaret, Eve Plumb, Ginna Claire Mason, and Derek Klena.
The story is set in 1958 when a Philadelphia heiress named Maggie (Mason) puts her high-society wedding plans, to a man she doesn’t love, on hold in order to sneak up to New York City and make her secret dream come true: dancing live on stage in the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. While her family thinks she’s staying in New York City with an “approved” friend from boarding school, Maggie is living a completely different life than she’s ever known. She falls in love with New York and dancing with the Rockettes. Maggie soon feels caught between two worlds, made even more complicated by her chance encounter with young U.S. Navy photographer John (Klena). Will Maggie find the courage to tell her family?
According to that description, A Holiday Spectacular will live up to its name.
I just have one request for next year. Can we wait until after July Fourth to talk about Christmas? I love the holiday, but I need a little more of a break from it. Because mentioning this early is making me turn into an Ebeneezer Scrooge. Bah humbug.
