Andrew Gernhard is the kind of name you see in the credits, not on the poster, and once you know to look for it you start spotting his fingerprints all over the December schedule. Since 2018 he has directed 20 Hallmark movies, and 13 of them are Christmas titles, which makes him something close to a holiday specialist. His comfort zone is a small town in winter, the snow falling on cue, and he keeps things steady and warm rather than strange. The pictures land around a 6.5 on average, with his sharpest being Ghosts of Christmas Always from 2022 at 7.4, and One Royal Holiday from 2020 a step behind at 7. If you have ever wondered who quietly built half your seasonal rotation, it was probably him.
