Don’t Miss GAF’s Christmas Special with Jill Wagner and Family
By Movieguide® Contributor
Great American Family has an original idea for this year’s Christmas season.
On Dec. 23, it will air a special small-town feature in Tellico Plains, TN, in which actress Jill Wagner and her relatives surprise a family that lost everything in Hurricane Helene.
“Viewers are invited to join Jill and David as they celebrate the true meaning of Christmas: cutting and trimming the holiday tree, gathering for Christmas dinner, and a candlelight service at the restored chapel on the farm. Jill’s military heritage has given her lasting appreciation for being close to loved ones and lifting those in need especially during the holidays,” GAF announced. “As ‘Silent Night’ is sung around the dinner table, a family is welcomed to the table who lost everything in Hurricane Helene.”
“To the family’s surprise, the community of Tellico Plains, TN, has come together with gifts that will help Makayla, TaMarcus, and their two sons on the road to recovery. Makayla works at the VA Hospital in North Carolina and has spent her entire career caring for veterans and their families,” GAF said.
Bill Abbott, GAF’s CEO and President, takes pride in providing content that reflects “faith family and country.”
“At Christmas, we remember our brave military men and women deployed around the world and we thank them and their families for the sacrifices they make every day for all of us,” Abbott said.

Wagner is very busy around this time of year. Her new Christmas movie, CHRISTMAS UNDER THE NORTHERN LIGHTS, just premiered, and she created a special event to support Toys for Tots and hurricane victims.
She shared on her socials:
Join David and I, as we host the very first annual Merry Movie Night at Scott Mansion Farms! In this intimate setting on her family farm, we’ll be hosting a private showing of my brand new Christmas film, presented by Great American Family. Come ready with your Christmas spirit to this magical movie night. You will be welcomed to the farm with a hayride through beautiful Christmas decor and lights, illuminating the farm, followed by an opportunity to do some last minute Christmas shopping in Jill’s quaint and stylish farm shop: The Shed. Don’t forget to take advantage of your photo op with Santa while you’re there!
The busy star is also scheduled to be at GAF’s Christmas Festival in New York City Dec. 7-8.
