For the first time, I thought it would be fun to rewind and take a fond look back at the past year, and share which posts you all found to be the most popular each month of 2017 - here at It's a Wonderful Movie!

So, I hope you'll enjoy this little journey of a trip down memory lane- back in recent history!
I'll begin with January, 2017! Countdown to Christmas had just ended and I think most of us were looking ahead, wondering what movies Hallmark had in store for us next!
The Countdown to Valentine's Day movie "Love at First Glance" was, at the time, receiving lots of buzz, therefore my post:
"Fall in... "Love at First Glance" with Hallmark Channel's Original Valentine's Day Movie starring Amy Smart and Adrian Grenier!" was the most popular, along with
"#TCA17 NEWS: HALLMARK MOVIES & MYSTERIES REVEALS NEW ORIGINAL WORLD PREMIERE MOVIES"!
In February of 2017, Hearties (fans of "When Calls the Heart") were, at the time, eagerly looking forward to a new Season, and by mid-February, enjoying the first episodes of Season 4; therefore, it's no surprise that my post: "Hallmark Channel's "When Calls the Heart" Season 4 is filled with Emotion & Drama!" had the most visits! This post has all the episodes of When Calls the Heart Season 4 listed, with pictures that correlate with each one! Like many of you, I am quite passionate over my adoration of this incredible family drama series; I'm thrilled to see it's continued success and following grow each year on the Hallmark Channel and social media! Thank you to all the Hearties who visit here!

By March, the snow was thawing, and we were enjoying the Meow Madness Christmas movie bracket challenge! Spring was in the air, thus, the reason why my post: "Baseball Movie "The Perfect Catch" -- part of Hallmark Channel's "Spring Fling" was most viewed! It scored highly with viewers & fans!

In April, we enjoyed watching Hallmark's Christmas Movie Bracket winner "The Christmas Card" and "Spring Fling" movies like "Moonlight in Vermont" and "Like Cats and Dogs" on the Hallmark Channel!
Those postings were quite popular, but the most viewed post here at It's a Wonderful Movie was this exciting announcement: "HALLMARK CHANNEL Sequel TV Movie News!!! LACEY CHABERT & BRENNAN ELLIOTT will RETURN for ALL OF MY HEART 2!!!" What a thrill it was (even if it was a different house) to see Brian & Jenny return and their love story continue! Now, if we can just get their wedding in 2018, that would be perfection! Right? Just like one of Jenny's muffins, warm, and straight from the oven!

In May, many fans of "When Calls the Heart" were missing the weekly television series, as Hallmark had just finished Season 4 at the end of April. With flowers blossoming and love in the air, many followers here were looking forward to June Weddings, and any hint of "When Calls the Heart;" therefore my post "Here Comes "The Perfect Bride" -- a Hallmark Channel Original "June Wedding" Movie Starring Two "When Calls the Heart" favorites - Pascale Hutton & Kavan Smith!!" was most viewed for the month of May! And, it's no wonder why, since both Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith are such a joy to watch! I personally take great pleasure in watching them together! They have incredible on-screen chemistry, whether they be on "When Calls the Heart" or in "The Perfect Bride!" Definitely, a June Wedding movie I can't wait to re-visit!

In addition to "The Perfect Bride," viewers were honored to be invited to:
"'Destination Wedding' - a Hallmark Channel Original "June Wedding" Movie!"
"Jack Wagner and Josie Bissett star in Hallmark June Wedding Sequel - 'Wedding March 2: Resorting to Love'"
Paul Greene and Maggie Lawson star in "My Favorite Wedding" -- a Hallmark Channel Original "June Wedding" Movie!

By June, we must have been full fledge into Summer, and ready to dip our toes into water and sand! The post "Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie News for "The Beach House" starring Andie MacDowell" was the most popular post for the month! Following close, were two separate posts for Christmas in July:
"'The Christmas Cure' a Hallmark Channel Christmas (in July!) Keepsake Movie!" and
"'Home for Christmas Day' a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Gold Crown Christmas Movie!

Come July, we were all enjoying "Independence Day" and "Christmas in July" and most excited in our discussion of Hallmark's newest announcement: "TCA NEWS! HALLMARK Launches New Cable Channel: HALLMARK DRAMA!" When the station launched later in October, 2017, it didn't have widespread coverage, at the time...... but since then, it has been picked up by numerous cable providers, including Dish, Sling TV, Playstation Vue, and others! (Come on DirecTV - your viewers want it, too!) If you want to see if Hallmark Drama is available in your area - check *here*!

In September, I created a post for "CHRISTMAS MOVIE DVD RELEASES for 2017!!!" and that was the most visited for the month - and beyond!!! From cherished Christmas classics, to recently new TV movies, I know it's always fun for all of us Christmas Movie fans to dash through Amazon and check out the newest Christmas DVD releases! (And, YES, I still want "Window Wonderland," too!!!) In the meantime, I was happy to see several great ones from Hallmark! Since I'm missing the Christmas movies dearly now on TV, I am most grateful for my DVDs!
