S5 Ep 9: Top 10 Hallmark Movies Featuring Singing 🎶
The “Don’t Make Me Sing” Edition

This month on the Hallmark Movie Drafts podcast, we’re drafting the Top 10 Hallmark movies where one of the leads actually sings in the movie.

And we have rules. Strict rules. LOL.

No karaoke scenes.
No random Christmas duets.
No voice dubbing.

We’re talking real singing performances from Hallmark stars, Broadway performers, and recording artists bringing their musical talents to the screen.

From country music romances to Broadway-inspired favorites and holiday musical moments, this draft pulled from 47 eligible Hallmark movies — and the panel had LOTS of opinions about what deserved a Top 10 spot.

Host Lynn Austin is joined by Broadway insider Rina Saltzman to break down the picks, strategy, , surprises, and near-misses alongside this month’s drafting panel:

🎤 Emily Petraglia (“Mrs. Walker”)
🎤Dr. Stephanie Preschel
🎤Jenna Colosi — 2024 Hallmark Movie Drafts Tournament of Champions winner

Expect passionate defenses, controversial movie picks, competitive gameplay, and plenty of laughs as the harmony disappears almost immediately. Because on Hallmark Movie Drafts… nobody agrees for long.

If you love Hallmark movies, Hallmark Channel actors, movie rankings, Broadway performers, and wildly opinionated pop culture debates, this episode is for you.

• Lisa Ferreone
• Daniel Thompson (aka Dan from the Deck the Hallmark podcast)
