The Last Noelle

In this razor-sharp parody of Hallmark Christmas movies, Noelle Christianson returns to her picturesque hometown for the holidays. The sketch perfectly captures all the familiar Hallmark tropes: fake snow falling, heartwarming small-town charm, running into an old flame, and baking competitions. However, the warm nostalgia is shattered when Noelle encounters yard signs displaying "All Lives Matter" and "Trump 2024," instantly reminding her why she originally fled to the city. The sketch brilliantly satirizes how Hallmark movies present an idealized version of small-town America while ignoring the political and social divisions that exist in reality.
