Sweeney has been doing Hallmark movies for years. She spends several months every year filming them in Canada.  She produces some of them. She promotes them relentlessly.  She does more than one every year. Every time one is released, she does talk shows to promote it.  She also promotes them on her social media.  All of her recent interviews promoted both her actual Hallmark movies and "A Very Salem Christmas".  She makes sure her fans know about everything she does - she's a businesswoman. She probably did more promotion for A Very Salem Christmas than Peacock or Sony.

I do wonder if she and Chandler would ever do a hallmark movie together since he's done a Christmas one this year. It would be nice to see.

I'm assuming that's why Sami was heavily featured too in the Days Christmas movie.

Eileen Davidson and Lisa Rinna's "Real Housewives" connection was used to draw their viewers to "Beyond Salem".  Ali Sweeney used her Hallmark movies connection to draw her Hallmark fans to "A Very Salem Christmas".

"What was your favorite move?" "Probably when we exited the stage." Lucas Adams is precious. 

Finally watched it!

I enjoyed it. Will and Sonny are actually pretty good writers, strangely kinky with the way they wrote about some of their family members but still good writers 😂😂 It was nice seeing characters in different situations then what we're usually seeing. A shakeup in many storylines is what the main show needs now more than anything. Gabi/Brady? Tripp/Chanel? I don't think I would mind them.

I love that they had Deidre Hall say the epigraph again. You could tell she had a big smile on her face as she was saying it.

It was great seeing Nick again too. Him being there reminded me of what a mistake it was to kill him off and then bringing him back as an evil zombie, when his storyline, his rivalry with Will, etc. could have played out for years. 

And yeah, I loved the drag and strip show too 😂😍 Days really does have the best looking men in daytime 😍😍You could tell Ron's been dying to write something like that for years. I'm a little surprised we haven't had more strippers on Days under Ron's pen 😂😂 Though I do have to admit that having Johnny strip with his father, and while his mother and grandmother watched was a little awkward 😂

The ending with Will and Sonny was nice. They were such a sweet, dorky couple in this, and I liked it. I hope the ending means that Will and Sonny will eventually find their way back to the main show. They’re desperately needed on this canvas, along with a lot of other people. I have so many story ideas for them and I'm sure a lot of other posters on here do too. 

I hope this means we'll see more Days content on Peacock in the future.

He's adorable. You can tell during his stripping performance that he's been working out.

Now why we gotta bring Ace of Base into it.

Just finished the movie. Really enjoyed it.

Eileen and EM still have great chemistry after all these years apart.
