The Nikki & Brie Show
Episode: “Hallmark, Hear Me Out!”
SiriusXM | Date: December 8, 2025

Episode Overview

In this fun, festive episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, sisters Nikki and Brie Garcia dive into the viral confusion around Nikki’s “Hallmark movie” appearance, share behind-the-scenes stories from that commercial, and play an unfiltered game about “unlikely crushes”—from animated characters to “weirdly hot” real-life professions. The conversation flows from holiday coziness and dating, to the power of sisterhood, the odd power of UPS drivers and flight attendants, and parental worries about social media’s effects on the next generation. The vibe is light, candid, and peppered with the duo’s signature humor and warmth.
