And I found it quite baffling how they seemed to have bothered to get SOME things about Finland, even Finnish names, completely bang on, yet then inexplicably balls up the rest into total and complete gobbledygook. 🤨 #TheFinnishLine 📺

🛷 I wouldn't normally give these crappy Hallmark #Christmas romcoms the time of day. But since one was apparently set and even partly filmed in 🇫🇮 curiosity got the best of me... 🫣 #TheFinnishLine 📺

Who’s up for some #ChristmasInJuly? As a big #KimMatula fan, I’ve had #TheFinnishLine on my list for a while. It’s a cute #romanticcomedy using an annual dog sled race as its background. I very much enjoyed it. As always, more thoughts on my Instagram

The costumer for this movie (Keith Nielsen) always does a fantastic job, especially with the "Pretty Dress" moments. He did this one, #TheFinnishLine, yesterday's (custom!) sparkly dress in #HolidayTouchdown, and iirc, he did the unique stunner in the Biltmore movie, as well. #TheChristmasQuest

#TheFinnishLine hands down the best of the 6pm premieres this weekend!

They were a cute couple. #TheFinnishLine characters suprisingly all mature about their feelings. Nice.

He's really trying to act like he hasn't been acting like the villain this entire time. #Hallmark #TheFinnishLine

Jesus Christ! They really had her go over a cliff. Omg. This is why we don't do dangerous sports on icy cliffs in woods. This could never be me. #TheFinnishLine

Also, there was overt, acknowledged sexism in this, which Idk if I ever saw in one of these before. Like, there's sexist stuff sometimes, but no one calls it that. #TheFinnishLine

I love that the big last act drama is just her being upset bc she's stressed out and not some weird misunderstanding. #TheFinnishLine

He got in her head. She's so scared of the unknown. #TheFinnishLine #Hallmark

Don't let him mess with your head. #TheFinnishLine #Hallmark

He was not picking up the clues. I'm glad she just came out and said it. Aww she got him flustered. #TheFinnishLine #Hallmark

Trying to follow this family tree is mind numbing. #TheFinnishLine #Hallmark

I like how every time Anya asks Cole about himself he gives several details. 😆 #TheFinnishLine #Hallmark

I would not be able to do that, as quickly as I jumped in I would be right back out. #TheFinnishLine #Hallmark

Anya and Cole have good chemistry and banter. #TheFinnishLine #Hallmark

What a prick! Cheater. #TheFinnishLine #Hallmark

Her friend needs to lay off the coffee.
#TheFinnishLine #Hallmark

Lmao. GREAT use of a Princess Bride joke. #TheFinnishLine

These 2 really look like cousins. #TheFinnishLine

I could do without another dead dad movie. #TheFinnishLine

Ugh. PTSD to being forced to read Call of the Wild. #TheFinnishLine

Kim Matula's last two Christmas Hallmark movies have been good ones, so I'm optimistic. And then TV Christmas Queen Lacey Chabert! #TheFinnishLine #TheChristmasQuest
