The Finnish Line

Today on Girls Gone Hallmark, we’re bundling up and heading to the frosty wilderness for our review of The Finnish Line, starring the talented Kim Matula and Beau Mirchoff. Hallmark takes a bold turn with this icy cold adventure, blending the thrill of competitive dog sledding with heartwarming romance and personal growth. It’s a refreshing change of pace from their usual fare, and we’re here to unpack every snowy twist and turn.
