❄⛄ Happy January, Friends! Let's Leap into this New Year Together... ❄⛄ SEE HERE:

Hello Everyone!

Well, here we are 2 days into 2024! I hope you all had a very nice Christmas break.

As we welcome this new year, I'm acknowledging more and more, at a deeper level, what a blessing it is to have a full, clean slate ahead during this leap year - that we can fill up with all sorts of plans and dreams! I've been seeking The Lord and asking Him to guide all of my steps again this year. I'm excited to leap into 2024 and see what this year holds for me and my family! And for you, too!

Last night, as I'm sure many of you noticed, the Christmas movies stopped cold turkey on TV. It's always kind of sad to see them go. I watched "One Royal Holiday," starring Laura Osnes, until the Hallmark Channel left Christmas at 10pm EST. and went back to the 80's sitcom, "The Golden Girls." 

I turned it then to the last Christmas movie of the day and holiday season on Great American Family, "A Christmas Blessing," starring Lori Loughlin, James Tupper, and Jesse Hutch. Even though I've watched it numerous times since it premiered in mid-November, the inspiring message touched my heart anew. Otto, the Angel, played by Jesse Hutch, shares the well-known scripture from Ecclesiastes 3, which states, "To everything there is a season..." and the profound statement, "Time really has no meaning. Love. The Christmas spirit. That does." (see in the promo video above)

Those words stood out to me afresh as we are now embarking on a new season in life - after Christmas. We will cherish the holy Christmas season of 2023, remember it well, and hold onto the warm feeling, too, as we settle into the Winter season of January and all the newness each day has to offer us. Perhaps, we can still find ways to give to others, and that will be living out the true spirit of Christmas all year round.

Holiday Road - Hallmark Channel

I'm also still enjoying the Christmas movies I have recorded. Recently, I watched "Holiday Road," and I will write a complete review soon, but I just have to say briefly... Wow! That movie is truly touching, heartwarming, funny, and well, it simply has a mix of every emotion! I teared up more than once and laughed out loud, too. Definitely a keeper! It's the best movie I've seen Warren Christie in since "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!" Plus, the movie is a wonderful reminder that we never know what the road lies ahead!

Love on the Right Course - Hallmark Channel

And now... for a recap of the NEW movies coming in 2024...

The Hallmark Channel will be premiering new romantic comedies, and a new mystery is coming to Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. I've updated the January Movie post with new images and key art. *See here*

Plus, the Hallmark Channel is already promoting their Loveuary movies, too, and if you missed my previous post regarding them, then you missed my gushing over the fact that the theme for them is Jane Austen! What a marvelous idea, I must say! Indeed, it is! *See details here*

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries also has a new mystery movie coming in February. *See Here*

UPtv also released their schedule of movies they will be premiering in 2024 for both January and February. A few of them have been on my must-see list for a while, so I'm glad to see UPtv will be airing them. *See details here*

As for Great American Family, I noticed a woman asked the network on their Facebook page, "Will you be showing new movies throughout the year? Maybe some new series? I look forward to whatever you have for us."

And Great American Family responded with, "Stay tuned for exciting announcements for 2024 and beyond!"

So, I guess we will have to wait for movie news, but if you've been watching Great American Family these past few weeks, you may have noticed the mention (at the bottom of the screen) of a new series coming in February to Great American Family, titled "County Rescue."

County Rescue - Great American Family

"County Rescue" stars Brett Varvel ("Mayberry Man," "Running the Bases"), Julia Reilly ("A Perfect Christmas Pairing"), Tanya Christiansen ("I Still Believe") and more, and includes an appearance from Christian singer, Colton Dixon, who portrays himself. The series is from the production company, Canyon Productions, whose mission statement is... "Canyon Productions creates movies and series that encourage and share the Good News. Our ambition is to create projects that are uplifting and point the audience to God’s love." Many (if not all) of the Canyon Productions' previous films and series can be seen on Great American Pure Flix.

Synopsis for "County Rescue" via Canyon Productions:
With one paramedic opening, Dani Miller must set aside her recent heartbreak and prove herself worthy of the job while competing against the mayor’s impulsive son and an over-qualified rookie.

I'm sure Great American Family will be sharing even more details soon.

Again, Happy 2024, Everyone! Let's leap into this New Year together and have a Happy One!!!

God's Blessings to You All!
