Great American Family Announces Christmas Movie Lineup
By Movieguide® Contributor
Great American Family has just announced their lineup of original holiday movies, which will kick off October 21.
The network is releasing 18 new movies — a 50% increase in their holiday movies from last year.
Stars like Danica McKellar, Jessica Lowndes, and Jill Wagner are all set to return to the network. Great American Family is also adding some new faces to their holiday movies, like Candace Cameron Bure, Paul Greene, and Gladys Knight.
Bure’s A CHRISTMAS…PRESENT marks her first movie with Great American Family and is produced through Bure’s Candy Rock Entertainment company.
Movieguide® previously reported:
While Candace Cameron Bure is known for her work in Hallmark Channel Christmas movies, she is now taking her Christmas career to Bill Abbott’s Great American Family network, working both in front of the cameras and as an executive.
Now, after racking in 30 Hallmark movie credits, Bure has decided to bring her Christmas career to Great American Family.
Abbott, who began Great American Family after leaving the Hallmark Channel in 2020, believes that Bure “understands what the audience likes and what the audience doesn’t like, and that understanding for us is so critical to our success.”
Her first venture for Great American Family is one of their upcoming Christmas movies, A CHRISTMAS…PRESENT. Bure will star in and executive produce the movie, which will premiere in November.
Bure explains, “‘A Christmas… Present’ is about slowing down enough to recognize what’s right in front of our eyes. The hustle and bustle of the Christmas season will arrive before we know it but it’s through the quiet moments that we hear God speak to us, directing our path to what’s most important.”
