My Quick Take:
I am thrilled, as I've shared with you all before, that Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison will be paired in this upcoming Christmas movie together. Since they both exude such a joyful Christmas sprit, I have a feeling, already, that it's going to be extra special and fun!
Based on the story synopsis provided in the press release, the storyline somewhat reminds me of the movie Marry Me at Christmas, starring Rachel Skarsten and Trevor Donovan. Both plotlines revolve around planning a wedding in a short amount of time at Christmastime, and once again, it's the brother who spearheads his sister's wedding planning.
This is one of the movies I'm most looking forward to seeing this Christmas season! In fact, I can already hear those jingle bells and wedding bells!
Have a Merry Day!

ReplyDeleteI am counting down the days!

P.S. Will we be getting the info from GAF on new Christmas movies at this pace?
The Viewers were waiting Candace Cameron Bure & Cameron Mathison to paired up in the movie(s) a long time ago so, finally, they come to do movie together this year
ReplyDeletesounds like a fun movie.
ReplyDeleteagreed that it reminded me of Susan's book-to-film.
What Candace Cameron Bure Christmas movies where she was in a huge snowstorm
ReplyDeleteChris, Are you referring to "A Christmas Detour"? That's one of my favorites of Candace's Christmas movies!
DeleteOr possibly "Journey Back to Christmas"? Either one is an all-time great!
DeleteA Christmas Detour is one of my all time favourite Christmas movies - it's a riot from start to finish but along with Let It Snow and Christmas Under Wraps they're the only three of her movies I like - and I've seen them all - Florence
DeleteLooks like Brian Bird (still don't like saying that name!!) is involved with a GAF Christmas movie this year. He tweeted out tonight about a movie coming from True Brand Entertainment and 3rd Coast Film. -Maria
ReplyDeleteMaria, Yes, Brian Bird ("When Calls the Heart" producer) is also involved with the new movie project, "A Little Women’s Christmas."
DeleteTrue Brand Entertainment makes wonderful films, so it's nice to see this company collaborating with Great American Family.
Hey Maria, I don't know if this was intentional or not, but I had to laugh when you said how Brian Bird tweeted! :)
DeleteChristmas Movie Title Update:
ReplyDeleteGreat American Family is showing today at the bottom of the TV screen that Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison's Christmas movie is now titled: "The Sweetest Christmas."
That title is fine, but personally, I like the original title much better - "Jingle Bells, Wedding Bells." That one is cute and clever and gives me an idea to what the movie is about.
The title "The Sweetest Christmas" is nice, but it's not very unique. Nearly any Christmas movie could have this title.
And, speaking of that, the Hallmark Channel has already used this movie title! Lacey Chabert's 2017 Hallmark movie is "The Sweetest Christmas,. In that movie, Lacey's character enters into a gingerbread competition.
So... just wanted to let you all know. What do you think?
Candace and Cameron will be filming this Christmas movie in the last two weeks or so of August and early September.
Here's a screen grab of the movie title:
