Take Our Quiz: Yankee Candle Or Hallmark Movie?

by Caroline Gerdes

One of the best things about the holidays approaching is holiday television. And you can always count on Hallmark for holiday programming, like a lot of seasonal programming. On the heels of Autumn Dreams and Harvest Moon, Hallmark is premiering October Kiss, starring Sam Jaeger and Ashley Williams, on October 17. And these autumnally titled TV movies have me wondering: Are these Hallmark movie titles or Yankee candles?

October Kiss seems like an adorable holiday movie that you can watch curled up with Halloween candy and an apple cider. Williams (you know her from HIMYM) plays a woman who’s name coincidentally also sounds like a Yankee candle, Poppy Summerall. She's a temporary nanny helping bring love and happiness to a widowed man’s (Parenthood’s Jaeger) home. And if the title suggests anything — other than evoking the smell of a PSL — a romance may bloom.

But let’s take a look back at these other recent October films. Autumn in the Park — no, wait. That’s not it. Autumn in the Park is a Yankee candle scent. Autumn Dreams is the Hallmark movie that premiered October 3. Man, this could get confusing. Do you think you can tell the difference between Yankee candle scents and Hallmark classics?
