Girls Gone Hallmark
A Dickens of a Holiday! Revisited
To wrap up Christmas in July, Girls Gone Hallmark revisits “A Dickens of a Holiday!” Megan and Wendy first reviewed this movie when it premiered in 2021, a review that led to an email that absolutely tore the Girls Gone Hallmark podcast to shreds. This has left Megan and Wendy wondering if their review was truly a miss. Tune in as the podcast revisits Kris Polaha’s role as Scrooge.
