🎄Jen Lilley's 🌟2022 Christmas Movie🌟 for Great American Family Revealed!🎄🌟SEE HERE:

If you are a lover of Christmas movies, then you will surely recognize actress Jen Lilley from her Hallmark holiday films: USS Christmas, Angel Falls: A Novel Holiday, Mingle All the Way, and her first GAC Family Christmas movie: Royally Wrapped for Christmas! This year, she will be starring in her second Christmas movie for Great American Family: Stay for Christmas.

Jen's co-star is someone you are sure to recognize, as well, from his many TV movies, Jesse Hutch. Jesse has starred in Hallmark's Harvest Moon, Christmas in Toyland, Let it Snow and UPtv's Love on the Road, Love, Bubbles & Crystal Cove, My Birthday Romance, etc...

According to TVinsider, the movie "revolves around Tracey Wise (Lilley), a renowned luxury travel blogger who is invited by Graham Cooper (Hutch) to a Christmas getaway in exchange for her review of his family’s small bed & breakfast, Silver Peak. Unfortunately, the humble B&B is facing tough competition from an upscale hotel resort nearby that has been stealing guests and threatening the survival of the family business. Tracey is apprehensive about accepting the invite to the outdated Silver Peak, but she soon gets caught up in the multi-generational family fight to save a dream. Throughout her time at the family-run establishment, Tracey will learn that the most down-home experience can be five-star when shared with kindred hearts."

Christmas movies begin on Great American Family on Friday, October 21st! Look for Stay for Christmas this holiday season. 

I'll be giving further scheduling details once they are released... so *STAY* tuned for extra details on Stay for Christmas and more!

Have a Blessed Day! Net 🎄🌟

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

“Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

~Romans 12:17-21

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”

~Matthew 5:9

I am most intrigued that “The Gift of Peace,” starring Nikki Deloach and Brennan Elliott, will be a DaySpring Production.

*I also want to include a caution here. At this point, we don't know which movies will be family-friendly. I'm hoping there will still be many, but at this time, we just don't know. Throughout the Christmas Season I will do my best to inform you on various storylines, and if any of you who follow here catch something - please be sure to share in comments!

Also, be sure to check out the Christmas movies coming to the Hallmark Channel - *HERE*!
