Listener Mailbag: We Ride at Dawn
The holiday season is here, and so is our first mailbag of the season! Megan and Wendy are back behind the mic answering listener questions, reading your hilarious emails, and catching up on the most talked-about Hallmark movies of the moment. We’re covering the latest releases from Finding Mr. Christmas and Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper to Christmas Angel Match and even a Haul Out the Halloween update. No movie (or mystery franchise!) is safe from the inbox.
This episode is stuffed fuller than a Christmas Eve stocking, featuring your hot takes, unexpected opinions, and a few collective gasps about a recently canceled fan favorite.

What’s Inside This Mailbag
Finding Mr. Christmas
Listeners are still buzzing about Hallmark’s new competition show. Team Craig seems to have stolen some hearts — and while we love the festive chaos of the “Festive Face-Off,” we can all agree that Jonathan Bennett and Melissa Peterman’s commentary deserves its own spinoff.
Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper
Over one million viewers tuned in for Robert Buckley and Kimberley Sustad’s charming holiday rom-com, and it’s safe to say we’re obsessed. Listeners shared passionate thoughts about Hope’s reaction in the now-infamous “classic misunderstanding” scene and we’re still debating if Ted deserves a sequel (spoiler: yes).
Christmas Angel Match
Some fans adored it, others… weren’t so sure. We discuss what worked, what didn’t, and whether Gabriel’s mysterious ending made sense (we’re still scratching our heads). Bonus points for those heavenly costumes and the unexpected senior love story subplot.
Haul Out the Halloween Update
Good news from Nashville! Wes Brown confirmed a fourth “Haul Out” movie is in the works — possibly set in Norway, with a baby?! Consider us screaming into our candy buckets.
Mystery Franchise Meltdown
It’s official: The Cases of Mystery Lane has been canceled, and the fandom is NOT OK. We unpack the fallout, re-live the moment we found out mid-episode, and read some of the funniest listener reactions (“We ride at dawn!”).
Chicken Sisters Season 2 Wrap-Up
Listener Arah called in with some fiery thoughts about the finale. And while we loved the redemption arcs and tornado heroics, we totally understand the craving for a true villain. (Hallmark, give us Chicken Sisters Season 3!)
Listener Highlights
“Ted Cooper could do no wrong for me. Is it because I’m a Bob Buck fan who would watch him sit in silence and blink for 84 minutes? Maybe.” – Beth Ann on Facebook
“My girls and I were howling when Drake fell. The choice to make the guys ski was diabolical and hilarious.” – Courtney on Instagram
“Imagine my confusion when I heard ads from Ireland — turns out I was in Dublin, Georgia.” – Lisa via email
