But they're so Hygge-esque!
Actual word I saw today at a textile website:
"As our homes become increasingly Hygge-esque, we turn to the work of [textile designer so-and-so]."
(Why capitalized?)
Are these Hallmark movies streaming somewhere? You make me want to try one. (Caveat emptor...)

You can find some at YouTube. Look for hallmark christmas movie. A Bramble House Christmas is, uhh, bram-new and thoroughly sickening. Enjoy!
Thanks--I watched 3:31 minutes, felt I got the gist of it, which I'm glad of
---it's like a masterclass in Hyggeness!
It sounds like you know your limits. Too much might make you revolt against the hygge — nothing but fluorescent lights and ice water. :)
I watched the promotional bit for it and wondered if its aim was to entice viewers or completely turn them off. If the latter, SUCCESS.
I just watched the preview, and I have to say — it’s not nearly as awful as the movie.
I can see the appeal of these movies though---just a matter of what hits the spot.
