FUN MOVIE NEWS!!!

Jen Lilley shared an exciting new Instagram post with her followers on the Fourth of July with great movie news!

Jen has been cast in a new movie as a supporting cast member. She shared that she would have sisters in the film with brunette-colored hair, so Jen offered to dye her hair for this role to match them.

Previously, Jen Lilley had dark hair in the Hallmark movies: Harvest Love, Mingle All the Way, Winter Love Story, etc...

However, Jen has been blonde in recent years in several films, including USS Christmas, Royally Wrapped for Christmas, B&B Merry, A Paris Christmas Waltz, and so on!

Here's Jen Lilley's big hair reveal...

*Note: Jen did not say who she was filming this movie for; however, Great American Family also shared Jen Lilley's news in their IG stories, so I'm feeling somewhat optimistic that she is working with them once again.

However, Actor Jesse Hutch revealed that he is producing this unknown movie with Third Coast Film and True Brand Entertainment, who is known for their films on UPtv, The Engagement Plot and Just Jake.

As we await more news, I'm also wondering who will portray Jen's brunette sisters in this ensemble cast. Laura Osnes is one of the names that came to my mind, but I want to hear your guesses, too! Please share in comments below!

Also, be sure to catch Jen Lilley in an encore showing of A Paris Christmas Waltz Sunday night on Great American Family.

🎄 Great American Family Announces New Christmas Movie Premieres With Candace Cameron Bure, Cameron Mathison, Casey Elliott, And More 🔔 SEE HERE:

I have some very exciting news, everyone, that will have you singing "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way"!

Great American Family has announced Candace Cameron Bure will get a second Christmas movie on their network this year, and her co-star is fan-favorite, Cameron Mathison! See their movie title below.

Casey Elliott, who stars in the Destined at Christmas movies and is a member of the singing group Gentri, will also star in a Christmas movie for the network this year. His co-star is Kristin Wollet of County Rescue. See their movie title below.

And more good news, speaking of County Rescue, the television series that focuses on service to others and faith, will return to Great American Family next year in 2025!

Brittany Underwood and Jonathan Stoddard will be paired together again this holiday season in another royal-themed Christmas movie on Great American Family. Perhaps this is a sequel to their film last year, A Royal Christmas Holiday. See their new movie title below.

Also, two more Christmas movie titles were announced without names attached, yet, to these projects. See titles below.


New Great American Family Christmas Movies:

Jingle Bells, Wedding Bells

starring Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison

A Wreathmaker Christmas

starring Casey Elliott and Kristin Wollet

A Royal Christmas Ballet

starring Brittany Underwood and Jonathan Stoddard

Christmas in Scotland

starring ?

Little Women Christmas

starring ?

Stay tuned for more details! I'm sure Great American Family will provide more information on these movies during Christmas in July.

Also, I must say, I am rather excited to see Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison paired together for a new Christmas movie! I think they will be spectacular together, and I love that Candace is getting TWO Christmas movies on Great American Family this year. Even with all of Hallmark's talent, Lacey Chabert had two Christmas films last year for their channel, and I wouldn't be surprised if she also has two this year.

 
Also, I'm delighted to officially share that Casey Elliott will have a new Christmas movie on GFAM this year. We already know he will star in a third installment of the Destined at Christmas films next year with Shae Robins. I think Casey is such a wonderful actor and singer, and I'm beyond thrilled to see him return again this year! And, yes, I'm hoping we might hear him sing in this new movie, even if it's just a little!

As for the movie titles with no names attached, yet, I have some guesses, but we'll see. Trevor Donovan's Christmas movie has yet to be announced. Could one of these be his? Or, Jen Lilley, Jillian Murray, and so on???

Christmas in the Pines

Ariel, a young up-and-coming writer, has something special in mind for Christmas this year. Instead of focusing on shopping lists and retail gifts, she's determined to bring back the true meaning of the holiday, family. Just as she's about to fulfill her dream of buying an idyllic cottage for her family, Ariel discovers the mysterious owner accepted two identical offers. Her competition, handsome architect Mark, has no intention of letting the cottage go. With neither backing away from the sale, it's determined the first person to leave the property forfeits. As two strangers become unexpected roommates, they're both willing to do whatever it takes to win. They each call in their families to come and help drive the other person out, but it quickly becomes apparent to all that Ariel and Mark may have more in common than meets the eye. With Christmas Day fast approaching, they both discover that their cozy holiday getaway isn't the only thing that makes their heart skip a beat.

Christmas in the Rockies

After her father is hurt in a logging accident, Katie Jolly must pass up on her dream of joining a prestigious law firm in New York City to remain at home, in the Rockies, to help her father make a speedy recovery. However, when Katie discovers her father's business is in jeopardy and this will be the first Christmas without a Jolly family member competing in the Homewood Lumberjack Competition, she finds a way to solve both problems. To honor her family and win the prize money to save her father's company, she enlists her best friend and her grandfather to train her for the lumberjack competition. After meeting Harrison Brock, the EMT who saved her father's life, a romance sparks just in time for Christmas, and Katie discovers that her hometown roots and inner abilities may be stronger than she first believed.

Christmas in the Smokies

Clinging to the only life she's ever known, a headstrong woman (along with her loving parents) finds herself on the verge of losing her family's berry farm in the heart of the Smoky Mountains to an impending retail expansion. Over one eventful holiday season, she tries every avenue possible to save the farm. But, when the local town leaders notify her that they will have to seize the property after the holidays, her last hope to unite the town and throw a Christmas concert on the farm headlined by her former love, a ne'er Smoky do well country music superstar. As the day of the concert approaches, they all must learn the value of family, faith and community before time runs out.

Christmas in the Wilds

New couple Buck and Jessica are weeks away from their first Christmas together in the rugged Rocky Mountains when an avalanche hits. Duty calls for Buck, a forest ranger, but before he heads deep into the wilderness, they promise that nothing will get in the way of their holiday plans. As Christmas approaches, a terrible blizzard ruins any chance of Buck getting his plane in the air and back to Jessica. Determined to stay true to their word, they each decide to head out into the snow-capped forest by land to meet at a cozy little cabin. But their journeys through the untamed woods quickly turn into a battle for survival. Along each step of the way, unexpected obstacles emerge, and new dangers unfold as the wild takes them on a thrilling ride that tests their limits and the lengths they will go for their love.

Christmas in Wolf Creek

With just days until Christmas, Sam has her hands full. Between managing her animal refuge center and directing the town's annual play, she has little time for her new boyfriend, Austin. With their relationship up in the air, Austin faces a tough decision: Move to Wolf Creek for Sam and lose his job-or stay in his hometown and lose the girl he loves. But when Cupid-the reindeer and star of the show-goes missing, Sam and Austin set out to find him. Now, with the fate of the play and their relationship hanging in the balance, they must work together if they want to save Christmas for the entire town and each other.

Christmas on the Coast

Hard-hearted New York novelist Dru Cassadine...known for her romance stories (even though she is anti-love and anti-Christmas)...is desperate to get her mojo back after a string of flops (and a not-so-subtle threat by her publisher that he'll drop her if she has another failure). She decides that a change of scenery might get her creative juices flowing and heads south for the winter, landing in a place known as Harbor Pointe, SC. She doesn't quite get what she came for. She gets much more.

Christmas on the Range

In this timeless holiday classic, Kendall Riley is desperately trying to keep her small ranch afloat against a larger ranch who wants her land. Using an organic style of farming, Kendall has risked it all to save her father's ranch. As Christmas approaches, a competitor scatters her herd sabotaging her chances for success. Facing certain ruin she receives help from an unlikely person... the rival's son.

🎄 Movie Alert: Catch An Encore Of "A Very Corgi Christmas" Tonight On Great American Family - #Hearties 🐶 SEE HERE:

I just wanted to remind everyone that "A Very Corgi Christmas" will air tonight (for the first time) on Great American Family!

The movie stars Kelly Kruger (From Friend to Fiance', The Art of Christmas) and Kevin McGarry (When Calls the Heart, Checkin it Twice). It first aired on BYU-TV back in 2019.

Amy Lama, Jane, and I have reviews of this movie from when it premiered that I wanted to share with you all.

Plus, you can also see the trailer below!



Movie Reviews:


🎄 Very cute movie! The puppy was the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Now I want a Corgi! ~Amy Lama


🎄 A Very Corgi Christmas is such a sweet, lighthearted movie, and who could resist a cute puppy!?!? Or... Kevin McGarry!!! :)

Both the leads, Kevin McGarry and Kelly Kruger, portray single parents, who find themselves hiding an important Christmas present, an adorable corgi puppy! There’s a lot of silly comedy and mishaps that take place along the way.

At times, the movie kind of reminds me of something that might have played in the past on the Disney Channel, but the movie’s wholesomeness is what makes it so doggone likable!

This movie is an ideal perfect watch for all ages, even the young ones will like this one! A Very Corgi Christmas is VERY family-friendly! ~Net


🎄 A Very Corgi Christmas - I was torn with this movie. At times I thought I was watching a B-list movie with a B-list cast, I almost deleted it. But I stuck with it and ended up thinking it was fairly cute.

I think Kelly is probably a better actress than I at first thought, but I feel like she didn't quite fit her role in this movie. Kevin McGarry and the puppy saved it for me... like Net said, who could resist either?!

I doubt it will win any awards, but I think others will enjoy this family-friendly movie with precocious kids and cute puppies. ~~Jane

Happy Watching!
