Cut for Time: Hallmark Channel Christmas Promo (James Franco) - SNL

“He works to much so it’s ok if I cheat on him” is the most ACCURATE hallmark staple I’ve ever heard 😂

[@canaisyoung3601]

I'm pretty sure there are non-Christmas themed romcoms out there that also have this as a trope.

[@pleasedroses3811]

The way that Kate McKinnon says that is funny, too!

[@jnsmith111]

Yep, the painting the guy as a villain because he works hard. Meanwhile they don't give you enough context as to what type of job she has. So, you're left with trying to force yourself into into feeling empathy for her character even when she may have no authority to speak on anyone's work ethic. At least tell me she has a job as X with X hours, but she chooses to tell them to stuff as she wants a life. Then I can relate vs just seeing her as yet another lazily written female love interest.

Bryce has a daughter.

Everyone of our white main leads has an infinite amount of money to travel across the country last minute for plot plotting 🙃.

Why, that level of struggle is a goal we should all strive for 😌

She is the sister of Kirk Cameron.

Prior to that, neither were religious. It really worked with Kirk as he basically gave up his acting career entirely and used his fame to push religious videos and appear regularly on evangelical Christian TV channels. Cameron didn't do that but she is still very much into it.

Especially since Franco was killing it as "Prince Santa". "Bring my reindeer around," said into a cellphone, no less (Prince Santa definitely modernizes).

I see a sequel (or perhaps prequel) made for these films over on say A&E or Crime Channel where it shows Prince Santa as a serial killer of his wives, and his elves are his conspirators. It would be entitled, "Bad Killer Santa" (and also starring Franco).

*CHRISTMAS SANTA CHRISTMAS* lol hallmark in a nutshell

[@omfgkalie]

Lmao 🤣 “so it’s ok if I cheat on him “ why is this every hallmark movie

[@cece4226]

Nichole smith I know right!!

[@danlauer9676]

"This is our Superbowl!" Good line.

[@nancyediagbonya6222]

This is sooo Hallmark😂 I'm dying

[@taydestiny38]

“He works too much, so it’s okay if I cheat on him!” 🤣🤣

[@sarmsmith]

My favorite thing about this is that there's already a Christmas movie where a girl gets stuck in a snow globe, aptly named "Snowglobe". Except it was ABC Family instead of Hallmark, and the lead was black.

[@margaritam.9118]

Black lead with a backstory is 1000 years too soon for Hallmark xD Everything has to be as generic as possible.

[@benjaminbarrera214]

In its final episode, the entire series "St. Elsewhere" was revealed to have taken place inside of a snowglobe.

[@lumariadp]

I was grinning through the whole sketch at the accuracy but actually laughed out loud at "What?? It's PRINCE SANTA!" Nothing is too much for Hallmark Channel. I love this.

[@wdh47211]

Me and my thirty cats love these movies......

[@cjsmith1402]

Meridith Devoe-Ellis is TOTALLY supposed to be a spoof of Candace Cameron-Buré! Hahaha 😂😂😂

[@clarissapeyton7466]

lol so true!😂😂😂 *she comments as Hallmark is on tv in the background*

[@Kinikia95]

Clarissa Peyton Same here!

[@something.something189]

I died when she said Prince Santa 🤣🤣🤣

[@Curt_Randall]

I never have understood "cut of time" sketches. After 40 years, you would think the show organizers would know that the show is always 90 minutes, and plan accordingly.

[@Ethan-dn1wc]

Curt Randall I assume it's in case they decide to pull a skit at the last minute.

[@kstreet]

It's not from poor planning. They test out a spare sketch or two that they're on the fence about during the dress rehearsals (in front of an audience too) a few hours before, and decide between dress and live show the bits they want to tweak or just ditch based on whether they flopped with the audience, the sketch isn't paying off with that specific host or maybe it's too technically challenging to risk screwing up on live TV. It's smart to have a backup sketch and means they can also offer some online-only content that get millions of views on YT.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Or, at the very least, extend the show to two hours.

[@aysumaysu]

„What? It’s Prince Santa!“ That’s the moment when I lost it 🤣🤣🤣

[@okrajoe]

Franco gets cut for time?

[@deliriousmysterium8137]

okrajoe 4th time one the show, he's lucky he got a monologue intro.

[@bigtxbullion]

That said, some of the skits on this episode were dang good. This one, while cute, not as funny.

[@MelodicQuest]

You cut Franco, I cut you!

[@user-rc8fe7fl6b]

👆

[@davidconnor5874]

When are ya'll gonna learn, "Cut For Time" is just a title meant to gas you guys up. There's no way they didn't plan for this to drop before Christmas so it would get more traction.

[@ultimateempress1739]

“It’s either me or christmas, Lydia!”

[@brooklyn9392]

I didn't even realize the video had started at first. 😂 I thought it was a legit add

[@thewizardofoz511]

LMAO 😂.. that's sad it's even that close! 😂🤙

[@MiamiSpartan1]

The single Mom works in a bakery that sells only muffins and lives in a 3500 sq ft Craftsmen style home with an amazing kitchen...! At least that’s what I’m told. 😬😬😬🙃

[@esterlind1983]

I hate these movies but still watch them. I have a problem 😂

[@brooklyn9392]

They're so bad but it doesn't feel like Christmas if you don't watch them 😂

[@i_only_simp_for_myself800]

Brooklyn exactly lmao. Tbh the only good thing they have is that you can truly watch them with your family and kids without fearing that a sex scene or crazy violence will show up and then embarrass you. I only watch so I will truly feel that it’s Christmas, they’re the few kinds of movies that I can watch with my grandmother and young niece, and it’s sometimes great to take a break from the psycho, dramatic, sex obsessed plots, even if the story is too predictable.

[@TheMpo1986]

LoL PRINCE SANTA. I was like wut? It's a SEQUEL!
