    Chris McNally has been turning up in Hallmark since 2017, and the curious thing about his run of eleven films is that he has never been the top name on the poster, not once. He works steadily without headlining, which is a particular kind of skill. Small towns are where you will find him, seven of the eleven set in one, and he plays it all completely straight, no nudging the audience. The standout is Home for Christmas from 2019, which at 7.6 sits well above his 6.6 average, with A Tail of Love and Rocky Mountain Christmas a step behind. Christmas itself is rare for him, just two holiday titles, so winter and snow are more the mood than the whole job. He rotates through partners rather than settling with one, carrying his half of the picture every time.
