Not Hallmark. Hulu, the streaming network for American Horror Story, The Handmaid’s Tale and The Bear. That Hulu.
Reporting for Christmas follows the journey of Mary Romero (Tamara Feldman), a diligent reporter-producer working in Chicago. Mary’s boss, Hank Dean (played by D.B.

The story revolves around the 40th anniversary of the Mistletoads, a beloved toy from the past.
Mary reluctantly accepts the assignment but insists on complete creative control over her work.
Upon arriving in Brunswick, cynical Mary quickly finds herself charmed by the picturesque town, a winter wonderland straight out of a snow globe. Her visit to Johnson Toys introduces her to handsome Blake Johnson (Matt Trudeau), the attractive heir to the family business. Their interactions reveal that beneath the glossy exterior of the toy company, there’s a heartwarming story worth telling.
