NEW YORK, NY – September 13, 2022 – Great American Family today announced Candace Cameron Bure is set to star in and executive produce A Christmas…Present, premiering on the network in November 2022. Conceived and developed through her Candy Rock Entertainment venture, A Christmas…Present marks Bure’s first project with Great American Media since signing with the company to develop, produce and star in movies and television across Great American Family and Great American Living. “Candy Rock Entertainment’s mission is to bring to life compelling stories that the entire family can enjoy while feeling a sense of togetherness and connection,” said Bure. “I’m so proud of the first of these projects because they are exactly that.” Bure continued. The new film will be part of Great American Christmas, the network’s holiday programming franchise which returns on October 21 with a new slate of original holiday movie premieres every Saturday and Sunday and Christmas movies all day and all night through the end of 2022.
“Candace is an incredibly talented and collaborative filmmaker whom I have had the pleasure of working with for more than 15 years,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO of Great American Media. “I am thrilled to be kicking off our partnership with a must-see film like A Christmas…Present, which will delight our fans this holiday season and is indicative of the memorable movies and family-friendly entertainment that Great American Media is looking forward to creating with Candace and the Candy Rock team.”
“Candace is so personally involved in every aspect of these projects and she has incredible drive to ensure that these stories represent the quality, standards and values that she carries with her across everything she does in business,” said Ford Englerth, President of Candy Rock Entertainment. “We are always so excited to work with great partners and equally passionate creators such as Bill Abbott and Brad Krevoy” continued Jeffery Brooks, Chief Visionary Officer for Candy Rock Entertainment.
“A Christmas … Present is about slowing down enough to recognize what’s right in front of our eyes,” said Candace Cameron Bure. “The hustle and bustle of the Christmas season will arrive before we know it but it’s through the quiet moments that we hear God speak to us, directing our path to what’s most important,” Bure concluded.
In A Christmas…Present, Bure plays Maggie Larson, an overly scheduled real estate agent and Type-A mom who takes her family to spend Christmas with her widowed brother and his daughter. Maggie and her brother have decidedly different expectations for the holiday. Through a series of transformative events, Maggie learns to embrace the reason for the season.

My *Quick* Take:
I am delighted to share this news with you all today on Candace's upcoming Christmas movie project with Great American Family! Most of all, I'm so happy this movie will have a faith element. For me, personally, I feel like the true meaning of Christmas has been missing greatly in these recent Christmas TV movies, that often focus more on the romance side of the story. I think it's beautiful that Candace's character, Maggie, will "embrace the reason for the season!"
No details were given, yet, on Candace's co-star or supporting cast. So, we will look forward to hearing more when Great American Media releases that information.
What are your thoughts on the details we have, thus far, of Candace's new Christmas movie with Great American Family? Please share in comments below.
Blessings to you all! Net
*Jesus is the Reason for the Season!*

I love this!! -Maria
ReplyDeleteThis is turning into a disastrous Christmas movie season for me - if I'm inderstanding right this is another single parent/ previously married lead.
ReplyDeletePlease can we have a balance? - Florence
I can't wait to see Candace's new Christmas movie. Wonder who her co-star is?
ReplyDeletesounds wonderful
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to here that this movie is faith based. Christmas movies with a spiritual theme like Signed,Sealed,and delivered for Christmas are missed. Can't wait to watch this one. - Craig
ReplyDeleteCraig, Thank you for sharing... I wholeheartedly agree! :)
DeleteHooray! Thanks for the wonderful news. I too am very happy to read the direction of CCB/GAC are going. We thank God every day and none more than during the Christmas season.
ReplyDelete-Gabe’s Mom
Aww, Gabe's Mom... that was beautifully said! I'm so grateful we have Great American Family, too! It's so nice we have a place we can comfortably turn to with our families again.
DeleteI was thrilled when I read Candace's statement about how this movie will have a religious aspect to it! It would be wonderful if many of the upcoming GAF movies have religion play a major role. Like you said, Net, this has been sorely lacking!
ReplyDeleteMark 25, So glad we had the same reaction to this wonderful news! I'm so grateful GAF is sharing the true meaning - the birth of Jesus!!! I pray each faith-filled movie will have an eternal impact on many lives!!! :)
DeleteWithout the birth of Jesus, there would be no Christmas to celebrate. Things are looking better for this coming Christmas season.
ReplyDeletekitkat, You nailed it! That's exactly right. We can't truly have Christmas without Christ. Like you, I can't wait to see Great American Family shine this Christmas!!!
DeleteI'm excited for CCB's new movie, especially with a faith element. Can't wait to see who her co-star will be!
ReplyDeleteJennifer R, Me, too! I'm super excited. Wonder why they didn't reveal who her co-star is, yet? I'm even more curious now. Can't wait to hear more!
DeleteGot some news: Candace's 2nd movie with GAF will be titled 'Christmas on Candy Cane Lane'
ReplyDeleteJim, It's coming!!!! The sleigh is out and almost ready to go! I'm thinking of adding a fresh coat of red paint, though. I want it to look good for the brand new season of Christmas movies ahead.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the anticipation is building and oh my goodness, soooo much fun! I'm truly grateful we have all of these Great American Family Christmas movies to look forward to! It's going to be a wonderful Christmas season - I can just feel it!
Thank you for coming along for the ride! :)
