NEW Hallmark 🎄CHRISTMAS IN JULY🎄 Movie "My Grown-Up Christmas List" + My Thoughts on the Season Finale of When Calls the Heart Season 9... 💕

During the season finale of "When Calls the Heart," a new Christmas in July movie was announced for the Hallmark Channel titled: "My Grown Up Christmas List" and will star two "When Calls the Heart" actors: Kevin McGarry ("The Wedding Veil") and Kayla Wallace ("Feeling Butterflies")! The movie is scheduled to premiere Saturday, July 16, 2022! Kevin and Kayla make such a cute couple in real-life and on screen. The two previously starred in "Feeling Butterflies" on the Hallmark Channel together.

Kayla Wallace shared the image above from the movie on their last day of filming back in December. For some reason, I had a hunch this might be a Christmas in July possibility, and I'm excited to see a new Christmas movie in the middle of July! Hope it ends up being a fun one. A 15 second preview was shown (pictures screen-grabbed in top images above), highlighting both Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace in the movie. Kevin is shown wearing military fatigues in the promo, so it looks like this will be a patriotic movie, as well. Too bad it's not premiering before the 4th of July.



As for the season finale of "When Calls the Heart," I thought it was a lovely, heartwarming way end to this 9th season. 

(SPOILERS AHEAD - if you haven't seen it, yet) 

My TWO absolute favorite moments were Henry praying with Joseph and Rosemary telling Lee about the baby! For once, Lee was even more expressive than Rosemary! What a wonderful, memorable moment! One couldn't help from feeling pure joy in Lee finding out he is going to be a father. And Henry getting down on his knees to pray with Joseph in his jail cell was such an impactful moment, as well as Florence's whispered apology and sweet kiss on the cheek. My heart broke for Henry when he said he didn't know how to pray. Tears filled my eyes. The subtle way Henry's character has developed through the years has been beautiful to see. His future was definitely left with great uncertainty. In fact, there were many questions left unanswered with Bill, Molly, Nathan, Faith, and Mei.

Will there be a Season 10? A big announcement, I hear, is coming today! So... let's hope for more stories in Hope Valley! Stay tuned!

Blessings on your day, Net

Wow! What a busy weekend for TV! We certainly have a lot of new and great classic content to choose from this Saturday and Sunday. At the top of my list for the classics are: the Signed, Sealed, Delivered marathon and the GAC Family movie marathon! I will do my best to catch the best of both.

As for the new...., I'm sure I won't be able to catch everything, but I'll most definitely be watching the When Calls the Heart season 9 finale! For me, personally, that is a must-see! So many potential stories have been teased; I can't wait to finally see how everything comes full circle in the finale... for Rosemary, Lee, Elizabeth, Lucas, Nathan, Faith, Bill, Joseph, Minnie, Henry and well... every one in Hope Valley! Plus, I'm wondering if we will hear news on a Season 10 or maybe, even a movie to finish it off? My heart tells me they may go for, at least, one more season, but who knows? I am eagerly longing to find out!

Be sure to share in comments below what you'll be watching this weekend - or what you are longing to see!

Please note: I have not pre-screened the new movies airing this weekend. If you'd like to leave a review, please share in comments.

Have a blessed weekend, everyone! Net

and he will make your paths straight."

Proverbs 3:5-6

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Matthew 6:21

Heartland Season 15 Premiere on UPtv - TONIGHT!

Heartland

Season 15 Premieres in the US

on Thursday, May 19, 2022

at 8pm/7c. on UPtv

I was able to screen the first episode of Season 15, and I can tell you it is a heartwarming, family-friendly start to a whole new season. The episode begins with the patriarch, Grandpa Jack, looking over his land and herd of cattle. I thought this was a strong introduction, with an incredible view of the beautiful Heartland ranch.

Amy's daughter, Lyndy, who somehow looks just like a little Amy, has a special role in this episode, as she's working on a sweet surprise for her mama's birthday and going to school (sort-of) for the first time. I was impressed at how well she said her lines at such a young age.

Unfortunately, we don't see Lou and Peter's daughter's Georgie or Katie in this episode. In fact, Georgie does not appear in this season, at all, and Katie (not sure why) is played by a new actress.

I won't spoil any of the storylines, but we do see Lou in season 15, as she's still working through her love issues and her father, Tim, who returns from his trip with a major surprise. Plus, there is, of course, a special horse with ties to the past, who needs Amy's special attention.

See the sneak-peek trailer below...

UPDATE: I received this comment regarding Heartland and I wanted to make you all aware: "Just a heads up, there is a same sex relationship in this season. I had suspicions last season, and it is definitely mentioned this season. It’s not a major storyline, but so sad it was introduced." (Thank you, Anonymous, for letting us know.) I wanted to be certain everyone here knew about this - so you can choose if you will watch more of Season 15.

Happy trails to all of you, Net

New on DVD: 🌼Feeling Butterflies🌼 starring Kayla Wallace and Kevin McGarry ➠➠ Plus, throw your own Butterfly Theme Party! 🎁💐

Both Kayla Wallace and Kevin McGarry are well-loved in their roles on When Calls the Heart, and many enjoyed their lighthearted rom-com, Feeling Butterflies, when it premiered in March on the Hallmark Channel.

Storyline for Feeling Butterflies via Hallmark: 

The movie follows Emily (Kayla Wallace), who owns a booming butterfly business, and delivers monarchs to a birthday party where she meets single dad Garrett (Kevin McGarry). With the help of Garrett and his daughter, Emily’s business begins to take flight.

My review...

Feeling Butterflies is an enjoyable, feel-good, family-friendly movie that has a sweet romance, and so much detail about butterflies: what they eat, how they grow, and their importance in the world. The overall story is fairly simplistic and straight-forward, but it's a cozy afternoon or end-of-the-day watch that will leave you feeling warm and good inside. Perfect for all ages! There's also a young girl in the movie, who is bright and cheerful; she has a enthusiastic interest in learning everything about butterflies. Kayla Wallace and Kevin McGarry are, of course, a real-life couple, so we can clearly see their wonderful chemistry shine through on screen.

In case you haven't heard...

 

In addition to Feeling Butterflies, Kayla Wallace and Kevin McGarry also have a Christmas movie they worked on together in December of last year. No word, yet, on where that movie will end up. Stay tuned!

In the meantime...

Both Kayla and Kevin can be seen in the Season 9 finale of When Calls the Heart this Sunday night, and Feeling Butterflies is available to pre-order on DVD through Amazon. Click here to see current price.

Also, see items below that would be ideal for any butterfly themed celebration.

Happy movie watching! Net
