I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

I decided to wait a little longer before sharing this weekend's update, hoping that Hallmark would unveil a poster for the premiere of the new "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie. As I submit this, however, the network has not released any promotional videos, photos, or poster (key art) for this new premiere. The image above is from Good TV; I made a slight edit to include the movie title. Anyway, I still hope many of you POstables will enjoy this new movie in the series.

Once again, the new episode of "When Hope Calls" is fantastic! It was great to see Jesse Hutch join the series. Hopefully, many of you will enjoy seeing it Sunday night on Great American Family.

Please Note: I haven't pre-screened the new movies. If you'd like to share a review, please do so in comments below!

Happy movie-watching!
Blessings to you all,

"Timeless Tidings of Joy," Starring Candace Cameron Bure, Paul Greene, and Natasha Bure, Coming This Christmas to Great American Family




Exciting news today, everyone! Great American Media has officially announced one of Candace Cameron Bure's new Christmas movies, Timeless Tidings of Joy, which is set to premiere this upcoming 2025 Christmas season on Great American Family and Great American Pure Flix.

I am delighted that her co-star is Paul Greene, who also starred alongside Candace (as we devoted Christmas movie watchers know) in the 2015 holiday movie, A Christmas Detour! (Yes, it was 10 YEARS AGO!!!) It will be so fun to see the two of them together again. A Christmas Detour has always been one of my personal favorites of Candace's Christmas movies.

Check out all of the details for Timeless Tidings of Joy in this press release from Great American Media:



Timeless Tidings of Joy,
starring Candace Cameron Bure,
Paul Greene, and Natasha Bure,
premieres exclusively
on Great American Family
and Great American Pure Flix
as part of 5th Anniversary
of Great American Christmas 2025

NEW YORK, NY –April 24, 2025 – Great American Media announced today the premiere of its newest holiday original, Timeless Tidings of Joy, starring Candace Cameron Bure (A Christmas Less Traveled, My Christmas Hero), Paul Greene (Bringing Christmas Home), and Natasha Bure (A Christmas for the Ages). The film debuts on both Great American Family and Great American Pure Flix this holiday season and is another example of the company’s focus on producing quality movies that represent a fresh alternative to many movies created for the holiday season. Timeless Tiding of Joy’s emotional and heartwarming journey is reflective of Great American Christmas creating a high standard in the category with a focus on faith, family and purpose.

“‘Timeless Tidings of Joy’ transcends time with messages of love, sacrifice, and hope that are relevant to every era,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. “Candace Cameron Bure is a superb storyteller and star, and Timeless Tidings of Joy tells the story of how one special message can change lives – even decades later,” Abbott concluded.

In Timeless Tidings of Joy, Ally (Candace Cameron Bure), inherits Timeless Tidings, a shop her grandmother, Joy (Natasha Bure), opened in the 1940s to sell her handmade letter-press tidings. The shop was a labor of love, service, and sacrifice throughout the decades for Joy. Ally always saw Joy’s sacrifices for the shop as a burden on Joy’s life and happiness. When Ally returns to the shop to prepare it for sale, she meets Bennett (Paul Green), an old soul, who wants to preserve her Grandma Joy’s legacy. As Ally and Bennett navigate the next steps, divine intervention forces them both to take a new, or rather old look at the fate of the shop and themselves.

“In a world of technology, Timeless Tidings of Joy harkens back to a simpler time and the core values passed to us by our parents and grandparents. It reminds us that the best gifts we receive, are the ones we freely give away.” added Candace Cameron Bure, Chief Creative Officer, Great American Media.

"When Hope Calls" Upcoming Episodes Include Danger and Romance



We are midway through the new season 2 episodes of "When Hope Calls," with only three more episodes to go!

Here are the details for the upcoming episodes, leading up to the finale!


The Truth Shall Set You Free - April 27, 2025:
Nora helps a new orphan acclimate; Maggie's baking causes a dilemma for Sam; Hannah holds an auction; someone from Tess' past arrives.

Bringing to Light - May 4, 2025:
Nora and Mountie Fletcher track down a dubious claim; Hannah and Wyatt have a tough decision to make; Maggie tends to the orphans; trouble brews for the ranchers.

Season of Change - May 11, 2025:
(Season Finale on Mother's Day)
The town celebrates; love blooms; the Mounties and ranchers team up to protect the ranchers' livelihood.



My Take on "When Hope Calls":

I have enjoyed the new season of "When Hope Calls" immensely, seeing beloved characters from Season 1 return and gradually meeting new ones. It's been a joy to watch Nora (Cindy Busby) connect on a personal level with each of the orphan children, along with Eleanor's (Elizabeth Saunders) loving guidance.

Sam (Jon McLaren) and Maggie (Hanneke Talbot) are so sweet to watch as they are still newly navigating their relationship, while Sam explores various options for his potential prospecting fortune.

It's still early, but there's a clear attraction between Nora and Mountie Michael Fletcher (Christopher Russell), also known as Fearless Fletcher, who bravely serves and protects while performing heroic acts. After visiting Nurse Maggie for another injury, she asks of him, "Do you going looking for trouble, or does trouble just find you?"

Hannah Lawrence (Sarah Fisher) has also stirred things up in Brookfield with her arrival. She's come to sell her uncle's ranch, creating quite a buzz among the other ranchers, particularly Tess Stewart. It's clear that Hannah and Wyatt (the ranch foreman played by Nick Bateman), are two contrasting personalities that may eventually be drawn to each other.

Then, there's Mountie Jim (Trevor Donovan), known for his strict adherence to the rules. Yet, after some gentle encouragement from his friend, Mountie Michael, he concedes to let Nora take in a troubled orphan girl who seems to crave a little love and affection.

I can hardly wait to see what unfolds in the upcoming episodes listed above! If you'd like to share your thoughts on this series, please do so in the comments below.


New episodes of "When Hope Calls" air Sunday nights on Great American Family in the U.S. and on Super Channel Heart and Home in Canada.

Streaming options include: Great American Pure Flix, Super Channel, Prime Video, Apple TV, etc...


Happy watching!
