THE MUSICAL COMEDY THAT CELEBRATES YOUR FAVORITE HOLIDAY MOVIES.

The Unauthorized Hallmark(ish) Parody Musical tells the story of Holly, an overworked Big City executive who returns to her quirky Small Hometown TO SAVE CHRISTMAS! Along the way, Holly juggles an old flame, a looming corporate merger, a cookie contest conspiracy and a moose on the loose!

Packed with your favorite holiday movie tropes and original pop songs such as, “Judge That Cookie” and “It Feels Like Christmas (Because It Is Literally Christmas),” the show offers a hilarious twist on the classic holiday movies you already know and love.

Following the sold-out world premiere in Toronto, ON, The Unauthorized Hallmark(ish) Parody Musical will return to Toronto, ON, as well as embark on a US tour for the 2026 holiday season!
