Merry Memories Review: Coal, With a Christmas Bow | Quick Watch

We’re putting a Christmas bow on this lump of coal. 🎁

Josh and Jennifer review Hallmark’s Merry Memories, starring Lindura and Brendan Morgan... and this time, our Gold or Coal verdicts match.

An accountant, a free-spirited teacher, and a Christmas scrapbook for a little boy’s deployed mom: the ingredients promise plenty of holiday heart. But did they come together into a movie we’ll want to revisit?

In this Quick Watch, we discuss what worked, what didn’t, and why Merry Memories didn’t become a favorite for either of us. Honest opinions, holiday humor, and room for you to disagree!

Spoilers included.

The Watch Party gets the next word: Was this one GOLD or COAL for you? Share your verdict in the episode comments where available, and follow Do You Watch What I Watch? for more Countdown to Christmas 2026 recaps and reviews.
