    If you have ever settled in for a Hallmark Christmas and felt the small town wrap around you like a blanket, there is a good chance Jason Bourque was the one behind the camera. Since 2019 he has directed 15 films for the network, and more than half are holiday titles. The settings rarely stray from a cozy small town, which seems to be exactly where he likes to work. His direction stays warm and unfussy rather than strange or showy, so the snow falls where you expect it to. His best-reviewed picture is My Christmas Family Tree from 2021, which lands at a strong 7.6, with A Reason for the Season and A World Record Christmas close behind. He is the steady hand that keeps a familiar premise feeling like home.
