Look, I can't prove that Mallory's Christmas Wish inspired an entire generation's obsession with Hallmark Christmas movies, but come on, it totally did. Seeing Mallory and her family invite camera crews into their lives to capture their old-fashioned holiday provides the perfect mix of holiday cheer and Pike family antics, while also skewering the concept of reality TV. Ultimately, the Pikes realise the cameras and staged Christmas fun is ruining their holiday and kick the crew out. This Mallory story proves to be eerily relevant in the digital age, and offers up a solid lesson about the pitfalls of trying to create a "perfect" holiday experience.
