So - there you go! 8 New Christmas Movies!

In addition to the new ones, I'm going to treat myself and pull out my DVD of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" this weekend (since ABC is not playing it anymore), and I'm going to try to catch as many new Christmas movies as possible and record others. So far, I must admit, I've only watched 2, so I'm a little behind already.

I've seen "Christmas Tree Lane" and "Christmas on Ice." I thought "Christmas Tree Lane" was a delightful, traditional Hallmark romance. "Christmas on Ice" was fairly decent for Lifetime, minus the one moment our friend Jane mentioned. She was right on the mark! You can see her full comment -here! (Thank you, Jane!)

I want to be certain you all know - I have NOT pre-screened these NEW Christmas movies mentioned above.

If YOU happen to watch one of the new Christmas movies over the weekend and want to share whether or not it is a wholesome movie, please stop back by and leave a comment. I know everyone here would be grateful to know any information you are willing to share. You can always sign your name or use anonymous, whatever you like.

Have a Wonderful Weekend, Everyone!

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

Jesus said, “I have come into the world as light,
so that whoever believes in me
may not remain in darkness.”

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town + Frozen and Toy Story highlight ABC's Christmas 2020 Schedule - SEE HERE:


As most of you know by now, there will be no Charlie Brown cartoons this holiday season on ABC since Apple purchased the streaming rights. (In the words of Lucy... "Those Blockheads!" Sorry, it had to be said and now I feel much better.)

Despite there being no showing of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and cherished favorite A Charlie Brown Christmas on their channel this Christmas, ABC will still be airing some beloved Christmas cartoons. It doesn't make up for Charlie Brown by any means; however, it's still nice to see some tradition is remaining.

In their recent press release, ABC revealed air-times for the Disney animations Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, Toy Story That Time Forgot, Disney Prep & Landing, plus the Rankin/Bass classic Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town and others. In addition to that programming, ABC is also bringing back the annual CMA Country Christmas and The Great Christmas Light Fight, as well as The Disney Holiday Singalong and The Sound of Music. See the schedule below...

No More CHARLIE BROWN Cartoon Specials on TV - in 2020? Oh, Good Grief!



I've been checking and re-checking the schedules the last few weeks - searching for the annual airing of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown." Typically these two episodes air together around Halloween and just before the Election. Well, news has just been coming out (thank you for emailing that article, Jim!) that the reason we can't find Charlie Brown on ABC's schedule this year is because Apple TV+, which is a streaming service, has purchased the rights to the Peanuts Cartoons.

So... this means not only will we NOT see "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" on TV, but that means "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" are gone from ABC, too. I feel like Lucy just pulled the football away - just as we were getting ready to kick it. How could ABC let this happen? I can't even imagine Christmas without Charlie Brown saying "Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?" And then, of course, sweet Linus responds with, "Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is about... Lights, please!" The spotlight shines on Linus center stage as he shares the story of Jesus' birth straight from the scripture Luke 2:8-14...


"And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the fields,
keeping watch over their flocks by night.
And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of The Lord shone round about them,
and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not, for behold,
I bring unto you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day
in the City of David,
a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you;
you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes
and lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel,
a multitude of the heavenly host,
praising God, and saying,
'Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward men'.


That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."


There's something so pure and innocent about Charlie Brown and all of the Peanuts beloved characters - Sally, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, Franklin, Peppermint Patty, Marcy, Woodstock, Snoopy, the little red-head girl and many others! I'm afraid once this wholesome message is lost yearly on TV, a whole generation of children may grow up not really knowing what Christmas is all about. This may be the only exposure some children or even some adults get to the true meaning of Christmas.

Apple TV+ is offering these cartoons free, for a limited time, but I have a feeling it's just a way to get subscribers hooked into their streaming service. According to the article from cordcuttersnews.com, Apple TV+ is planning to create new specials for our Peanuts characters centered around Mother's Day, Earth Day, etc... I sure hope they don't try to politicize these characters that we love.

I'm also hearing the Charlie Brown cartoons will not be available to stream via Amazon or elsewhere; they are truly exclusive to Apple TV+. If you want to have them forever in your home and view them over and over again whenever you wish - for years to come, the best option is to buy them on DVD. There are various options you can see below, from buying them individually or in DVD sets. I personally own a Holiday DVD Collection, myself, but I am going to make certain I own every special Peanuts Episode!

Remembering our dear friend, Sherry...





Over my many years of blogging, I have met many wonderful people. One of those people was someone who became a dear friend, Sherry. You may recall she would often comment here with her name and state, Sherry from California. She was as great as any detective, finding clues to movies no one knew anything about, just yet, and sharing bits of information she would find on various Hallmark films in production. Sherry had a fantastic insight into figuring out which movies would be premiering next and who might star in them. She loved following the clues and was fantastic at doing so.

Unfortunately, I have learned that dear Sherry has passed away. My heart broke hearing this news, as we had become great friends –emailing and messaging one another back and forth about movies and things going on in our lives and in the world. Throughout the pandemic we would email our concerns with one another and do our best to uplift each other’s spirits.

Sherry and I talked endlessly this spring about when we anticipated film production would start up again; she was very much looking forward to the new “Aurora Teagarden” mystery and most of all, the upcoming slate of Christmas films. Alicia Witt was one of her favorite actresses; she was very much in tune to when she and Andrew Walker were filming “Christmas Tree Lane,” and was looking forward to this new premiere and numerous others.

Many of you may also know Sherry from Facebook, as well, since she would often share there to various Hallmark groups. Last year she joined Twitter- with the handle @HotlineHallmark – and Sherry was just that – an excellent source and ‘Hotline to Hallmark’ news. Sherry was always in the know on what was coming and what was in-the-works, whether it was a new movie, preview show, or special marathon.

I will so miss chatting with her on movies and all sorts of subjects, and I wanted to let all of you know we lost a dear member of this “It’s a Wonderful Movie” family. Sherry still visited here often and I know she was glad to share with so many of you – who were upbeat and positive about the lighthearted movies she loved.

I’ll always be grateful for Sherry’s thoughtfulness and kindness. My heart and prayers go out now to her dear family and friends.

We will miss you, Sherry!

Love you, my friend... Net

I'm looking forward to the new movies this weekend, especially the new "Aurora" mystery! I feel like we've be waiting forever to see it, since filming production was halted for this movie at the early stages of the corona virus coming to North America in the Spring. Thankfully, they were able to wrap up the filming this summer, and we will finally be able to see it this Sunday!

*Please Note: As a pre-caution, I just want to let you know - I have not previewed the new movies above; therefore, I don't know, yet, if they will be 100% family friendly. Please use your own discretion when watching and if you see any content of concern, please share in comments below. Based on the information and trailers we've been given, I'm hopeful these movies will be good ones!
