She’s been a Power Ranger, a ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ agent, and now she’s one of the best parts about Christmas – starring in Hallmark Christmas films like this year’s ‘Christmas at the Catnip Café’. Here, actress (and dear friend) ERIN CAHILL answers the question: Why are Hallmark Christmas films so popular?
