New Comedic Christmas Monologue: Hallmark Christmas Romcoms are Stressing Me Out
Okay. I promise - at least ONE PERSON out there is going to feel heard in my new comedic Christmas monologue, HALLMARK CHRISTMAS ROMCOMS ARE STRESSING ME OUT. We have tons of things to do each holiday season, right? And these light-hearted romcoms are supposed to make us feel warm, cozy, carefree and jingle-bell happy, right? But what if we just. can’t. keep. up?
That’s what is going on with Scarlett! She has made a pact with her best friend, Maia, that they will watch all the Hallmark Christmas romcoms of the season and dish about them all! Sounds easy, right? It’s not to Scarlett! Especially when Hallmark pulls the ole “let’s do double features for Thanksgiving weekend!” Now she’s hopelessly behind and it’s time she come clean to Maia. Hopefully Maia can expend a bit of holiday grace, just like Charlotte’s family gave her grace when she was maybe going to be late to the (gasp) Christmas PJ party because she had a big fashion show in Christmas By Design. Or maybe Maia will be like my real-life friend who is 10 movies ahead of me but thankfully gave me the rundown of the best ones, so I can skip to those and pretend I’m not failing Hallmark Christmas Romcom Season. ;)
HALLMARK CHRISTMAS ROMCOMS ARE STRESSING ME OUT runs about 1-1.5 minutes.
Enjoy an excerpt below:
SCARLETT
I’ll never be able to finish in time. Maia—I can’t—I can’t do it. I’ve got—Lucy’s Christmas cookie exchange and that White Elephant thing at work and it’s like, every night, there’s something—a play or a concert or some light display we have to go to. And look—all of this is fine. I can manage it. I’ve been managing it for years. And I thought I could make time to build this new tradition with you…. But…
(pause)
I had no idea Hallmark was going to do double features all Thanksgiving weekend!

I can’t—END OF EXCERPT
