    Yeah. I’m imagining Sharknado production levels and Sharknado pacing, but following the Hallmark formula, and with really mundane absurdist details.

    • Those fragile little precious moments figurines and limited edition Star Trek ornaments need to be a recurring favored snack for the competing love interests who are lovable but wrong for our heroes.
    • One of those little Christmas village decorations sets needs to turn out to be an undiscovered life saving medication, when ground down to a fine glittery paste. Feeding it to someone’s niece gives her the strength to learn to walk again.
    • Someone’s talent for cross stitch needs to solve a decades old mystery about someone else’s estranged and now tragically dead parent.
    • A poorly gifted and then ignored-for-years art set needs to be part of the big “they truly love me” reveal moment.

    I think we have a potential masterpiece, here.
