Welcome back to Girls Gone Hallmark, where we’re diving into another lesson in love, literature, and - of course - murder. In Mystery 101: An Education in Murder, a student’s research paper reopens a cold case that hits close to home, giving Amy and Travis one more shot at clearing a fellow Elmstead professor’s name. With campus scandals, buried secrets, and a final exam no one saw coming, this installment proves that even on summer break, the homework never ends for our favorite crime-solving duo. As part of Girls Gone Hallmark Summer School, we’re hitting the books—and the case files - breaking down every twist, every shady suspect, and every swoony stare between Amy and Travis.

In this episode of Girls Gone Hallmark, we’re previewing Hallmark’s newest holiday offering: Christmas at Sea - a four-part reality docuseries set aboard the 2024 Hallmark Christmas Cruise. If you're wondering what happens when you mix holiday cheer, Hallmark stars, and Hallmark super fans on the high seas, this is the show for you. With emotional fan moments, behind-the-scenes celebrity connections, and all the festive magic you’d expect from Hallmark, Christmas at Sea is more than just a cruise - it’s a celebration of the community that makes Hallmark movies so beloved.

Girls Gone Hallmark unpacks A Machu Picchu Proposal - a high-altitude love story that left us a little lightheaded, and not just from the elevation. Katie travels to Peru to help plan her brother’s picture-perfect proposal, but when things go sideways thanks to an overly spontaneous chef named Carlos, the two set off on a quest to find the most romantic spot in the country. Spoiler alert: it might just be Peru itself that steals the show. Let’s just say when the scenery outshines the chemistry, you know you've got problems.

We're slicing into Pie to Die For: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, the latest serving from Hallmark's long-running whodunit franchise. In this cozy caper, a local murder threatens more than just dessert - Hannah's mother Delores is suddenly in the hot seat when her theater rival turns up dead. Now it's up to Hannah to clear her mother’s name and, in true small-town fashion, solve the case between baking pies and falling for Chad. But let’s be honest - the real mystery here is why this murder-filled movie is airing on Hallmark Channel and not Hallmark Mystery? Tune in with us as we break down the clues, the romance, and all the sugary drama.

Class is in session at Girls Gone Hallmark, and this week we’re cracking open Mystery 101: Dead Talk, starring Kristoffer Polaha and Jill Wagner. Amy heads to Seattle to deliver a TEDTalk-style lecture, but when a tech genius drops dead, she quickly shifts from professor to detective. With the local cops keeping her at arm’s length, Detective Travis Burke jumps in to help connect the clues - and the sparks between them are getting harder to ignore.

  As part of our Summer School series, we’re giving this Hallmark mystery a full pop quiz - grading everything from plot twists to romantic tension. There’s chemistry in the lab and between Amy and Travis, and let’s just say… this case isn’t the only thing heating up. Join us as we break down all the clues, question the suspects, and give extra credit to those “did you see that?” moments that had us raising our magnifying glasses.
