🎄 Do YOU See What I See... In The Great American Family Schedule???

It's looking like Great American Family is, indeed, going to BEGIN airing their classic Christmas Movies THIS FRIDAY, October 11th, starting with their 2022 original movie Destined at Christmas at 6am/5c. 

While some online TV guides are not showing the Christmas movies yet, I am starting to see them show up on my DirecTV television guide. Are you seeing the Christmas movies in your guides now, too???

In addition to that exciting news, I'm also seeing "Christmas Wreaths and Ribbons," starring Kristin Wollett and Casey Elliott, listed in Great American Family's schedule to premiere Saturday night, October 12th, at 8pm/7c! I screen-grabbed the schedule above for you all to see. If this holds true, then that means we will receive the first Christmas movie premiere for 2024 this weekend!

Stay tuned for more details. If you happen to hear or see anything, please be sure to share with us!

Blessings to you all. My prayers are with those in Florida as Hurricane Milton makes landfall, and my heart and prayers remain with those devastated by Hurricane Helene.

Lifetime Acquires New Holiday Film "A Carpenter Christmas Romance"

I received a press release yesterday from Lifetime regarding a newly obtained Christmas movie coming to their channel this year. At first, I was excited to learn about a new Christmas movie, but then I was quickly disappointed after reading the plot description.

Please know that I am sharing details of this movie with you all below, not as an endorsement but rather to inform you of its content.

This is the first paragraph of Lifetime's press release, "Lifetime acquires A Carpenter Christmas Romance starring Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars) and Mitchell Slaggert (The Sex Lives of College Girls) to join the network’s upcoming It’s a Wonderful Lifetime holiday slate. The movie is written and executive produced by Sarah Drew, who also penned A Cowboy Christmas Romance which earned headlines for being a holiday movie with a sex scene and went on to become Lifetime’s highest rated holiday title last year. Drew continues to infuse the holiday steaminess in A Carpenter Christmas Romance, following the story of best-selling author Andrea (Pieterse) who is reunited with her sexy ex-crush Seth (Slaggert), who is working as a carpenter.

A Carpenter Christmas Romance storyline, provided by Lifetime: "When novelist Andrea hints her upcoming book may be taking a heartbreaking turn, her fans begin protesting, demanding their favorite character doesn’t get killed off. Needing a haven where she can finish her novel, Andrea flees to her family’s farmhouse in the town of Wildwood. Much to her surprise, she ends up running into her ex-crush, Seth, an artisanal woodworker who's helping rebuild the town after it was nearly destroyed by a fire. It doesn’t take long for sawdust and sparks of romance fill the air once the two team up and work together to reignite the town's Christmas spirit. Is this romance just a holiday fling that ends when her trip is over? Or can the two build a love that is made to last?"

So, based on the information in the press release, I will not be promoting this movie here. I just wanted to be certain you all were aware of its content.

Stay tuned for more

🎄✨ 2024 Christmas Movie Promos For Great American Family, Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Mystery, And UPtv ✨ 🎄 SEE HERE:

The NEW CHRISTMAS MOVIES are coming in less than two weeks, not this weekend, but THE NEXT!!! Ahhhhh!!!!

To get us all ready and in the Christmas spirit, I thought I'd share some Christmas movie promos for Great American Family, Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Mystery, and UPtv!

In a comment here on my blog, I was just chatting with Jim (who is a dear friend and follower here) about how hearing Great American Family's Christmas movie commercial, which features Bing Crosby singing, "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas," gives me goosebumps EVERY TIME I hear it. And while new holiday songs or jingles in the Christmas promos are fun, too, there's nothing quite like the nostalgia of classic Christmas songs like this one! Unfortunately, GAF didn't upload their promo to YouTube with this song, but the music box version of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is still lovely. See below. Or, if you want to see the Bing Crosby version, I embedded the video at the end of this post!

So, if you have yet to see these Christmas movie promos below, enjoy! And if you have seen some or all... I hope you enjoy the re-watch as we look forward to the upcoming 2024 Christmas movie season!!!
