The gifts just arrived early for fans of the hokey holiday plot lines of Hallmark’s extensive Christmas movies series.
Those who live for the heartwarming holiday rom coms shown throughout — and well before — the holiday season could win $2,500 just for watching the movies made popular by Hallmark but now streamed on popular services like Netflix, Hulu and Disney+. Reviews.org has invited holiday movie watchers to binge 25 Christmas movies in 25 days for a chance to be named their “Chief Holiday Cheermeister” and earn $2,500.
Applications are open until Dec. 4 and those interested can apply here.
“Does the sound of jingle bells warm your heart? Have you always wanted a ticket to the Polar Express? Did you start celebrating Christmas on November 1 (or, let’s be real, probably before that)? If you’re the type of person who watches holiday movies year-round, we want to hire you,” reads a call out on the company’s site.
