For the discerning Hallmark Christmas movie viewer—someone who finds Christmas Getaway, say, less predictable than Northpole but more predictable than A Royal Christmas—there's an opening. The online flower subscription service BloomsyBox wants to pay someone $2,000 to watch a dozen examples of the genre in 12 days, USA Today reports. The goal, BloomsyBox says, is "to settle the debate: what's the greatest piece of Hallmark holiday cinema ever created?" The reviewer has a head start, since the scores of possibilities been narrowed down.

The successful, albeit blurry-eyed, applicant will rate each film on a scale of 1 to 10 on:

  • Festivity Factor.
  • Predictability Quotient.
  • Chemistry Check.
  • Tear-Jerker Test.
  • Replay Value.

It wouldn't be cheating to save 24 hours by sneaking a peak at Variety's Top 25. While there's a little overlap, Bloomsybox snubs such favorites as Where Are You Christmas? and Road to Christmas. Reviewer applicants can learn more here. (More Christmas movies stories.)
