Wife wants to do the Hallmark type Christmas trip. I'm thinking of flying into Burlington while also trying to hit Stowe and Woodstock. Any tips on places to stay and must do's are appreciated.

You’re on the right track picking Stowe and Woodstock. Idyllic spots for a Vermont Christmas.
For Woodstock, look at the Woodstock Inn & Resort. That’s our favorite spot. If you’re trying for something a little cheaper, the Kedron Valley Inn is another good option.
Edit: I’ve never stayed at the Lincoln Inn & Restaurant at the Covered Bridge, but we have eaten there. It’s incredible and the story behind how they got started is really interesting. They only do one seating, 3-4 nights a week, and there are maybe 7 tables total.

Are you looking to do any activities? Ski? Snowshoe? Just R&R?
If you pick one place and it's Woodstock also look into the Manchester airport. It's about the same distance from either BTV or MHT to Woodstock. Also, Manchester, VT is on a similar level as Woodstock though Woodstock has a real pretty idyllic main street. Other towns to consider are Waterbury, Waitsfield, and Warren.

If you decide to stay in Stowe, Edson Hill is high class. We've stayed 2x and have some recs for food, sites, etc. that I could type up for around Stowe.

Another vote for Woodstock Inn.

Not to try and hijack your plans but do some googling on Leavenworth, Washington as well. Picturesque Christmas town with tons of activities also.

I recently spent a night at the Victoria Inn in Chester, VT (as part of the Vermont Inn-to-Inn Walking Tour). The innkeeper mentioned that a Hallmark movie was filmed in their town years ago, in case you want a true Hallmark town. It was close to Weston, where the Vermont Country Store is found. It was all really cute and your wife would probably love it.

Have done family VT trip over Christmas twice in recent years, and both times we stayed near Stowe. Stowe IMO is definitely the right choice for the home base..but my advice would be to focus more on finding an ideal Christmas ("Hallmark") house/cabin for your group, thats within even 15-20 minutes of town-
the kind of place where you've got mountain views out the windows, maybe an outdoor firepit/patio (weather permitting), a comfortable living room with a nice fireplace and TV (Christmas movies..or football), and plenty of room for a tree (which you can easily find at a local tree farm)
Once you've got a house booked that everyone is excited about, the rest becomes pretty easy....can spend a little of each day in Stowe (dinner, shopping, walking around etc)..and also venture to places like Burlington and even Woodstock/Killington if you so choose.
On the most recent trip we did Stowe house for 3-4 nights, then on the 26th (this is pre-covid BS) we drove up to Montreal for a a few nights ... there and/or Boston are both great add-ons if you can make the flights and rental car logistics work.
