Here's how it happened with her previous attempt at a Hallmark style movie, and I know because I'm (still) a subscriber and I was unironically watching her videos during that time. She wanted to film a Hallmark style movie, and she made a number of arrangements, including renting a studio space and hiring actors. Then, just after she announced in a video that it was all really going to happen (and please manage the expectations because she was funding it herself), she came down with a bad case of Covid. She didn't talk much about the Covid online, but she was terribly sick. Everything she had arranged up to that point fell through. Shortly afterward, she sold the house she had owned in Texas. She said that the reason she sold it after only a year of living there was because she didn't fit into the child-centric community she lived in, but I privately hold the opinion that she sold it because she lost money on the studio space and actors' wages, when the movie fell through. So! When she released this particular Christmas video, I immediately drew the conclusion that, well, she still wanted to make a movie. The previous attempt fell through and she lost her shirt, but she thought of a way to make a little movie starring only her, so she wouldn't have to pay other actors, and she would be able to link the clothes and hopefully make something back this time. Judging by the lukewarm reception she got from her audience, it's probably best that she couldn't make the longer movie, because it might not have been successful either, and it would have cost her a lot more if everything had gone as planned.
I remember her talking about the movie and stuff, but I couldn’t remember exactly why it fell through only that of course there were some sort of health issues involved lol I remember either a video or a post saying the movie wouldn’t be happening anymore

I remember this as being one of the first Anna videos I could actually comment on, I was so new to the channel and not yet part of Feral Chat… ah, the memories!! 🐈⬛🕯️♥️
So, I live in Texas, and I also (unironically) LOVE Hallmark movies. The concept for this wasn't that bad, actually. Any other creator probably could have made a really cute, fun, Hallmark-esque short film in that town where she filmed. Fredericksburg is a super cute town with some nice shops and definitely fits in with the Hallmark town profile. It's a popular weekend getaway destination. The locals would have not been amused with her general personality or attitude, however, and I guarantee every driver of the cars that drove past thought she was a nut immediately after seeing her on the side of the road. I also wonder if she got permission to film this from the cabin owner, or any of the other locations? Not that it's necessary a legal requirement or anything, but in small town Texas it would be one of those unspoken cultural niceties (ESPECIALLY if she found that cabin through a friend/contact, and not a rental site) that she may not realize as a transplant. Locals would also not look kindly upon her for stomping all over town like this, complaining, messing with people's things, etc - even if she was "acting". Regardless, this was so, so terrible! 😂 Anyway, thanks for retro-reacting to this. I am new to Anna (have only watched anything about her since I found your channel, and now Colin through you). I never would have known about this otherwise, and I needed this laugh today. Hope you feel better soon!
My husband is from TX and I’ve been to Fredericksburg. I will say, people go to places like that to get away from people like Anna. Based on the different houses in her shots, I am pretty sure that she stayed in a place called Settler’s Crossing, which is outside of Fredericksburg. It’s a really unique B & B situation (way before Air BnB) because it started out with this couple who “saved” historic homes from around the country and moved them to their property, then furnished them with period antiques. It started as a hobby and then they decided to rent them out-we found them I think through TX Monthly (this was over 20 years ago.) The house she was posing in front of with the green shutters was the Kentucky plantation house. We stayed in the Indiana Farmhouse, the smallest but it still had 2 bedrooms. I will say, these houses were not built for Anna-sized people-for reference, I’m 5’1” and slim and it felt “just right” lol 😂 (It was charming but we did not have a great night-somehow we convinced ourselves that it was haunted-we are skeptics but it felt really isolated and we’d been watching a lot of ghost-hunting shows at the time.)
I think you're onto something with Ashley being her alter ego. It makes me think of Stacy aka the female version of Chad that supposedly represents the idealized man for men. Maybe Ashley is the female equivalent for Anna, even possibly taken from a popular girl she wanted to be in high school. Or maybe I'm overthinking it 😂 love your videos, hope you feel better soon!
I notice the more the clothes cost, the better they fit. Imagine that!!! 😂 That plaid dress in the beginning was gorgeous. Those glitter pants? A giant NOPE. 🐈👠🐊🙃🤣 OMG, a year ago she was so much more mobile! And closer to her deluded size 22/24 than now post Scamron and Herbst nonsense 🙄 Edited to ramble on.
👠👠 I have to say you had me laughing with this reaction. I usually play your videos to fall asleep as your voice is very soothing for me. Thankyou for the laugh...I needed it. 😂
Dangling participles…. Major flash back to high school English with the teacher who, at the time seemed like meanest teacher in the world, when you said dangling participles and cackled!!! 😂😂😂
On the other hand, who are you talking to? The phone, the closed shop, herself, the audience she knows she'll have later? Nothing wrong with talking to oneself in my book...
I wondered if anyone else noticed that. She may know how it’s pronounced. She’s been told it’s not exspecially it’s especially but that’s how she wants to pronounce it.
While we're questioning the in-"movie" logic: So Ashley left the dog all by himself in the unfamiliar environment of that cabin while she buggered off to the town at least twice. And the first time she must have come back long after dark. What a great dog-owner she is. Dogs don't want to walk to the town - they want to stay alone in the cute cabin. Anna should have made up her mind if she wanted Data in this or not. But she half-assed it ... again.
I have super spy name - my name is unusual and people usually can’t say it the first time let alone spell it, so I use a more common name that I like (low key wish was my name) when I go to Starbucks/restaurants/anywhere they need a name.
As someone who grew up in Texas, I can confirm that we don’t go around saying “yeehaw!” We also don’t say “howdy” either. But I grew up in Austin, which was hippy central back in the day, so maybe that’s different from the rest of the state. I guess Anna’s doing her part to keep Austin weird?
🥿👠👡🥾 😂 it’s ok l point out all the problems in movies too 😂 she was trying to break the fourth wall but this was not set up well to do that 😂 hope you get to feeling better!
I love that checkered dress, but I’m trying to think of an occasion that I could wear it to. It’s such a specific look. That, and the price, is what is stopping me from looking it up lol 👠
Yes, those are the same glass Christmas trees. I found it odd though that she claimed (at the end of this video) that this video look book idea just happened on their way to Fredericksburg, 48 hours to put it together. Uh-huh. So she just happened to find some decorations which just happened to be the glass houses she bought at Target? Spur of the moment idea so how did she happen to have those glass houses? Maybe because it wasn’t spur of the moment. I questioned it the first time I saw this cringey video. "It weirdly made me feel at peace." That sentence is weirdly. 😂 She felt so at peace that she scarfed down those cookies. Yeah I’m seeing a bit more of Anna in that dress than I’d like to see. 👠 👠
Another YTer showed a recent post she did on i think IG, saying that she has had one of the worst "flare ups" she has ever had, and thats why she isnt posting. It was noted that this flare up came comveniently during the Disney marathon she was supposed to run...im expecting another crying video soon....
I’ve now lost 120lbs and i feel so much shorter. So I have a feeling Anna is like 5 9. I sit so much lower now and I have to move my car seat forward and up. It’s so strange how my hands and feet have changed so i think weight can be so deceptive.
So I have lost 35 lbs. I’m at my goal weight, but I too noticed a big change in my Hands and feet. I feel like my shoes are too big, length wise not just in the width.
I think the thing with her numbers is that she has just been on TH-cam for a long time and has had some "viral moments" which caused a lot of people to follow/subscribe, but most of these people are not actually interested in her content or they fell off over the years. Happens a lot to TH-camrs over time--not to defend Anna, but I do think this is one area where she isn't doing anything nefarious.
Enjoyed this - and yes, I quite liked this from Anna. The town looks pretty interesting, plus a bit of storyline makes it all a bit more watchable. The latest I know of is her running/inhaler video. That was interesting in that her "run" looked a lot more energetic though I still couldn't confirm that she was ever both-feet-off-the-ground.
Her numbers are definitely screwy. Something is not right there. I'd love to know what, exactly, is going on behind the scenes, there, and if any of those numbers have been 'fudged' so to speak. This storyline is a little too 'on the nose'! Wow....
🥾I chose a hiking boot because that’s what her character would’ve actually worn for her 10 mile walk. While I know this was a one woman show, she could’ve at least mentioned other people existing. She didn’t have to *say* that she ate all the cookies herself- she could’ve said she shared with neighbors or carolers or *anyone else*. I read the comment about an an actual movie with other actors that fell through so hopefully it wasn’t the original plan. But this came off looking like her fantasy is to be left alone at Christmas so she can eat all her treats herself, without sharing with anyone else. And the only “lesson” she learned was about how she tries too hard and should go easier on herself. Every aspect of this is about her and her alone. ‘Sounds like the true meaning of Christmas to me!

Interesting.
that's sad, I doubt she would have recouped her money on the original movie she had planned but at least she would have accomplished something
I remember her talking about the movie and stuff, but I couldn’t remember exactly why it fell through only that of course there were some sort of health issues involved lol I remember either a video or a post saying the movie wouldn’t be happening anymore
And Ashley ate those cookies!
All year long! 😜

Those sequin pants are....something.
I was wondering what chub rub does to sequins.

Definitely a choice.... a poor choice, but a choice.
"i don't have to be perfect" sounds like she's trying to convince herself of that
I mean, that’s the point of the script lol
@ i doubt she believes it irl
@ obviously not, lol
👠this video made me feel weirdly at peace 👠
She is such a Mary Sue. Thank you so much for the back-to-back videos!❤😻😻😻
If she did one of these skits today it would feature her sweaters.
Not quite as nice. I did like some of the outfits from this lookbook
Duh!
The whole skit wold be about the damn sweaters lol
Walking 5 miles in Texas, in heels, with that body size? Sure, Ann- I mean, Ashley.
I am cracking up. She climbed those stairs like a toddler-bent over, both feet on each step, and using her hands on the step above her 😂 👶🏻.
She loads a red car and leaves in a white car 😂
I remember this as being one of the first Anna videos I could actually comment on, I was so new to the channel and not yet part of Feral Chat… ah, the memories!! 🐈⬛🕯️♥️

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

5:30 that movie set looks like something from the beginning of "The Hills Have Eyes".
10:38 so will she get 2.5 bagels when she arrives??
It was cute, I agree. BTW that tree she was laying on looked an awful like that tree bark she was so stunned by on that retreat.

8:26 what the HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL
And she keeps calling those big felt fedoras "cowboy hats".
you sound like me when i watch anna : “let it go. just let it go…”
My stomach is churning. Anna, it’s libRary not liberry!
I wondered if anyone else noticed that. She may know how it’s pronounced. She’s been told it’s not exspecially it’s especially but that’s how she wants to pronounce it.
@ True! She probably does it on purpose so that she can be even more irritating!😁
14:53 where’s the dog???
hiding lol
@ yes
He quit and ran.
While we're questioning the in-"movie" logic:
So Ashley left the dog all by himself in the unfamiliar environment of that cabin while she buggered off to the town at least twice. And the first time she must have come back long after dark.
What a great dog-owner she is. Dogs don't want to walk to the town - they want to stay alone in the cute cabin.

THe secondhand embarrassment is so strong watching this......... It makes me uncomfortable😂😂😂
Anna is a one woman continuity disaster!!!! And not just in this “movie”.
So is Ashley a Type A?
She’s gotta fake it until she makes it. Will she make it? Doubtful.
I have super spy name - my name is unusual and people usually can’t say it the first time let alone spell it, so I use a more common name that I like (low key wish was my name) when I go to Starbucks/restaurants/anywhere they need a name.
She did social media vs reality recently this gives off same vibes
I hope Anna does more videos like this… as cringy and awkward as it is, it is kinda fun to watch 🫣
This is the lesson in Nat. Lampoon's Christmas Vacation... but that movie was actually enjoyable lol

Why didn’t data get an alter ego name?
Can you do a retro react to Anna's video Merry ex mas?. It's so strange, she seems drunk and is clearly lying.
does she have any exes?

I think you're right regarding Anna's viewing figures,something is very off.
Notice how much lower the bed is on her side?
Ok, Tiny. What’s your superhero name?
Tiny is my superhero name. (Takes off glasses)
@TinyBlueAnthropologist love it :)

Shoo! ^_^
👠 10miles 😳
