Grab The Wine & Snacks! 5 Tyler Hynes Hallmark Movies For A Girls' Night In

Canadian actor Tyler Hynes seems to have the magic touch when it comes to cozy feel-good flicks. While Hynes started acting as a child, he blew up as a fan-favorite when he joined the Hallmark Channel in 2018. He starred in not one but two films that year, gracing the screen with "Falling For You," as well as "It's Christmas, Eve" with LeAnn Rimes. Since then, Hynes has solidified himself as a Hallmark Channel treasure, and no one is looking back, especially not the viewers. In fact, Hynes' fanbase is so enthusiastic that the group has named themselves "Hynies." 

Part of the appeal of Hallmark movies, particularly ones featuring Hynes, is that the vibes are so cozy. As proof, there are ideal Hallmark movies that are perfect for a lazy fall afternoon. The movies tend to be wholesome and often have satisfying romantic plots set in picturesque small towns. Many of the sweetest Hallmark films were adapted from beloved books, so they often have literary roots. They're pleasant and low-stress. Plus, when they feature someone as hunky as Hynes, they're pretty much irresistible. So with this vibe in mind, we've curated a list of the top five Hynes flicks that are perfect for a girls' night in. 

Tyler Hynes plays Luke, an ambitious Hollywood director and producer, in Hallmark's 2021 film "Roadhouse Romance." As he passes through a small town in Tennessee, he meets Callie Jackson, an army lieutenant played by country singer Lauren Alaina. She's home from deployment and is deeply concerned about the dwindling fate of her grandfather's restaurant, Trucker's Roadhouse. The two unexpectedly connect and end up helping each other with their individual struggles, reminding the other of what's most important in life. 

"Roadhouse Romance" is one of Hynes' most beloved films because it's set in the fall and the whole movie serves up nostalgia and coziness, making it a perfect flick for a girls' movie night. And the love story is wholesome and uplifting. In fact, when Hynes sat down for an interview about "Roadhouse Romance," he praised the purity and sincerity of the love — not only in that specific film, but in all of the projects he's worked on with Hallmark. "I think the folks at Hallmark and the fans are as pure as it can get in this world and as sincere as one might hope, and so for that reason alone I'm there for it," Hynes shared with Culturess in September 2021. Fans gave the film a 6.8 out of 10 on IMDb, praising it for its watchability and feel-good vibes.

Tyler Hynes brought all the charm to the 2021 Hallmark movie "An Unexpected Christmas." Starring alongside Bethany Joy Lenz of "One Tree Hill," the duo captivated fans with their hilarious banter and a satisfyingly slow burn romance. In the film, Hynes plays speechwriter Jamie Thomas who broke up with his girlfriend, Emily, but didn't tell his family. When Emily, who works for an ad agency, gets sent to Jamie's hometown for a job, she bumps into her ex. To keep his family happy over the holidays, Jamie convinces Emily to stay with them and pretend that they're still a couple. Over the week together, Emily and Jamie realize that their fake relationship might have some truth to it, after all. 

Fans gave the film a 6.9 out of 10 on IMDb, with people particularly loving the holiday-themed aspects of "An Unexpected Christmas." Hilariously, fans are intensely divided about Hynes' beard. In "An Unexpected Christmas," he's clean-shaven, and this was a catastrophe to some devoted fans. One viewer on the Reddit group r/HallmarkMovies wrote that they couldn't get into Hynes' character without his signature beard. Others missed the beard but said that Hynes' charm more than made up for the lack of facial hair. "Agree that a beardless Tyler Hynes looks a bit off, but what the face was missing, the voice and the humor made up for," one person wrote. "Loved the movie. Definitely adding this one to my list of favorites." Hynes' beard is, clearly, a big deal. 

The 2020 Hallmark film "Winter in Vail" is one of Tyler Hynes' most beloved romances. Hynes plays Owen, a down-to-earth resident of Vail, Colorado. He meets Chelsea, played by "Mean Girls" star Lacey Chabert, an event planner from Los Angeles, who unexpectedly inherits a home in Vail. Tired from her high-pressure job, Chelsea begins to embrace the peace of mountain life, and she and Owen host a Strudelfest event in Vail to celebrate its storied history. 

While the movie is set in snowy Vail, it's not specifically a Christmas movie, making it a perfect watch for any cozy season. Fans on IMDb gave the film a 7 out of 10, with folks praising the perfect traditional romance. On the Reddit group r/HallmarkMovies, people were obsessed with "Winter in Vail." One happy viewer wrote, "I highly recommend if you've burned through all the Fall/Autumn/Harvest/Halloween movies by now like I have. Also, now I want to visit Vail and I'm wondering how to kidnap Tyler Hynes." People loved the chemistry between Owen and Chelsea, too. "This movie is so, so good. The dialogue was natural, the plot was realistic, and the pacing was great," another fan commented."This movie is easily one of my top 10 favorite Hallmark movies!" It's a charming winter-themed flick. Fun fact: Chabert and her husband had a winter-themed wedding, making their love story a treasured one amongst the real-life partners of Hallmark's leading ladies. 

Tyler Hynes glows as David in the 2021 Hallmark flick "It Was Always You." Starring alongside Erin Krakow as Elizabeth, the duo bring magnetic chemistry to the screen with an unforgettable love story. Elizabeth is a dentist who thrives on order and discipline in her life; she's engaged to George, played by Giles Panton, and everything is moving along nicely until George's brother, David, unexpectedly returns home. His free spirit and globe-trotting ways throws Elizabeth's structured reality into chaos, and she has to decide whether her highly-organized life is really what makes her happiest. 

Fans on Reddit were absolutely wild for "It Was Always You," with many citing the film as one of their favorite Hallmark flicks ever. "I watch this once a year and cry. If I could live any Hallmark movie it would definitely be this one," one fan admitted. Others loved Hynes and Krakow together. "Best female and male on the roster, and it's not even close," another wrote emphatically. "The final five minutes is the best ending in any Hallmark movie ever. Incredible chemistry. It felt real," a third added. "It Was Always You" scored a 7.1 out of 10 on IMDb largely because of this fiery bond between Hynes and Krakow's lively characters.

People adored Tyler Hynes' 2020 Hallmark film "On the 12th Date of Christmas." The well-reviewed movie features Hynes as game creator Aidan Walsh, who works alongside coworker Jennifer Holloway, played by Mallory Jansen. They're both after a promotion at work, and come up with a Christmas scavenger hunt in Chicago. As they compete against each other at work, Aidan and Jennifer end up realizing that they have feelings for each other. 

Set against a lively Chicago backdrop in winter, "On the 12th Date of Christmas" is one of Hynes' highest-ranked Hallmark movies, earning a 7.2 out of 10 on IMDb.
