Storyline: When New York City painter Audrey Moss (Holland Roden) returns to her small Minnesota hometown for the holidays, she’s met with an unexpected quest from her beloved late grandmother: find the owners of five mysterious gold rings and return them to their rightful homes before Christmas morning, only nine days away. In her bequeathment, Grandma also urges Audrey to team up with local private investigator and childhood friend, Finn O’Sullivan (Nolan Gerard Funk). From gingerbread house building to the annual Giving Gala, these two begin to bond over more than just their quest. As Audrey and Finn unravel the mystery of the missing rings’ owners, they discover there is more to their relationship than they ever expected to find.

Friday, November 8, 2024:
Storyline: When students all flee an elite university in Vermont for winter break, the locals and faculty hunker down for their favorite time of year - the annual Christmas Bar Trivia Tournament! For Celeste (Sursok), a Type-A astronomy professor, this event combines the magic of Christmas with her greatest comfort in life: knowing the right answer. But when her colleague drops out of the tournament to do a month-long lecture tour in Asia, Celeste's team must adopt Max (Daugherty), the football team's new offensive coordinator. To Celeste, Max seems like nothing more than a grown-up class clown - though he brings an undeniable knowledge of sports trivia (a category their team has always fallen short in). Initial clashes between the two eventually turn into mutual appreciation as the team enjoys scavenger hunts on campus, decorating the international house with Christmas lights, baking Christmas cookies, and advancing toward the championship trivia game. Celeste can't help but delight in Max's infectious enthusiasm, love for all things Christmas and perhaps most importantly, his comfort with the unknown. And after a romantic wintery night at the campus observatory with Max, Celeste starts to wonder if being open to life's surprises is more important than knowing the answer to everything.

Most of the new premieres look great to me, but I'm especially looking forward to seeing Christmas Under the Northern Lights! I've always liked both Jill Wagner and Jesse Hutch, so I expect this to be a good one! (My scripture choice below was inspired by this movie!)
I'm also looking forward to seeing Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing paired together again in Hallmark's Santa Tell Me. Should be sweet to see this special When Calls the Heart reunion.
Which movie do you most want to see this weekend???
Please note: I haven't pre-screened the new movies listed above. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments.

SHINING HIS LIGHT:
My scripture choice this weekend was inspired by the new Great American Family premiere, Christmas Under the Northern Lights. God's creation is so spectacular; it never ceases to amaze me!
"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?"
~Psalm 8:3-5
(New King James Version)
After this incredible week, time to wind down with great new movies!
ReplyDeleteOf course, The long awaited #Hearties reunion movie is at the top of my list! :)
-Maria
There's certainly a right mix of movies there.
ReplyDeleteFive Gold Rings sounds as if it could be interesting but the Brant Daugherty and Fiona Gubelmann movirs don't sound that interesting - there have been several movies in the last couple of years set in Ireland which were incredibly boring (even Lavey's) but no preconceptions - we'll see.
It's a pity we know how Santa Tell Meworks out because that could have been fun - haven't decided whether to watch it or not - could I stick 90 minutes of Benjamin Ayres?
And I see UPtv has joined others in making false claims about "Premieres" they'll probably clain it's the first time on their channel but in my mind if a movie has been aired anywhere before then it can't claim to be a "premiere" - Florence
Both Christmas in Rockwell and Coupled up for Christmas premiered on streaming networks before making their way to Up and Great American Family. Both are making their network premieres. And I bet most people that will be watching either movie this weekend have no idea that both movies are not making their network premiere.
DeleteFlorence, tell us how you Really feel about Benjamin Ayres! 🤣🤣 I agree with you about Santa Tell Me; I wish they would have left it more ambiguous ahead of time as to which guy wins the girl. It would've been more fun that way. ~~Jane
DeleteI can’t miss out on the Erin and Daniel, aka Elizabeth and Jack(they will always be Mr. & Mrs Thornton when they are cast together :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the Irish on looks good as well!
I'm right there with you Net! I'm looking forward to Jill and Jesse in Christmas Under the Northern Lights! Been waiting on that one!! My next pick is Santa Tell Me! Gonna be great to see Erin and Daniel together again!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Five Gold Rings is incredible! And it has elements of having faith as well! Felt like something DaySpring would make. -Maria
ReplyDeletelooking forward to watching some of these this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWCTH finished filming yesterday. -Maria
ReplyDeleteThe GAF movie is the only one I am interested in. The Hallmark one in Ireland is laughable. Just another recycled storyline that just so happens during Christmas time.
ReplyDeleteCoupled Up for Christmas was not good. The storyline makes.no sense for people their age. Maybe for someone 20 or 21. IMO.
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and enjoys whatever movie they watch.
Misty
Trivia at St. Nick's is clean, and a lot of fun! -Maria
ReplyDeleteThese weekly reminders are so helpful.
ReplyDeleteI’m also looking forward to watching Christmas Under the Northern Lights. By the way, I really like the scripture choice this weekend and how you related it to the movie. Christie
I love that verse Net!! What an amazing creation God made! Just wait until we get to see Him in Heaven!!
ReplyDeleteSanta Tell Me- So many happy WCTH memories here! :) (and yes, it's a clean movie!). -Maria
ReplyDeleteChristmas Under the Northern Lights is well, spectacular! -Maria
ReplyDeleteFive Gold Rings is family friendly about an artist named Audrey Miller returns home for the holidays & gets tasked with a Christmas quest left by her Grandma. She & a local PI named Finn O’Sullivan must return 5 lost items to their owners before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteTails of Christmas is family friendly about a military veteran named Caleb Hale at Military a Clinic is injured in the Army & is recovering through help from shelter therapy dogs. As a sign of thanks, Caleb returns home to help Amber run the local pet shelter called; “Davenport Animal Haven” &, in the process, discovers his feelings for Amber go beyond gratitude. Caleb goes to Davenport Animal Hospital for sponsor Christmas Adoption Drive. Caleb adopts Rex at local pet Shelter. Caleb asks all about God’s plan & Faith. Margaret talks about healing & forgiveness. Pastor Eli talks about Chapter of James
ReplyDeleteSanta tell me is family friendly. The acting was good over all, but there were some laughs that sounded a bit fake. Maybe it was just me. I liked this movie, it’s a keeper.
ReplyDeleteHallmark+ Unwrapping Christmas Tina’s miracle is family friendly. I did like this movie. I felt it was a little slow at first but glad I finished it. It Inspires you to self reflect and to not let the past dictate your future.
Mistletoe Murders is family friendly (1st episode) and liking it so far.
Five Gold Rings is family friendly so far, haven’t watched the whole movie but like it so far. I think the story line sounds interesting.
Elizbeth
Lots of new movies! Im already so far behind, but that's ok. I know everyone is so excited for Daniel Lissing and Erin Krakow to reunite. I was a huge fan of Daniel, but after seeing him kiss another man in The Rookie tv series. I can no longer see him the same way. Makes me sad that he chose to do that.
ReplyDeleteWhat? I did not know about that. That is really disappointing about Daniel.
DeleteChristmas Under the Northern Lights is a little slow in the beginning but as the story unfolds it keeps getter better and better! There's a surprise cameo too! But you have to be quick to catch it! Jill and Jesse have a great on screen chemistry and actually all of the actors did a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteSanta Tell Me was family friendly. We absolutely loved it! It was fun & had a phenomenal cast. It was a nice change from some of the more common storylines. I also love movies that have a touch of Christmas magic like this one did. I have only two movies so far this season on my “don’t miss” list for my friends, and this is one!
ReplyDeleteTrivia at St Nick’s was cute, nothing really stood out to me, although I do enjoy Brant in the movies I have seen him in, and it’s family friendly.
ReplyDelete~Paula
Santa Tell Me was super cute! I thought the storyline was creative, although not believable because of the magical elements, it was still charming and I do enjoy the movies that have santa in them. Erin and Daniel had great chemistry and there were some laughs throughout. The scene at the end with the Nicks fighting was so hilarious to me 😂 And I loved the reference to “National Lampoon Christmas” with her opening the little doors for the different days. I don’t know if that was intentional but I liked it as National Lampoon is one of my favorite holiday movies we watch every year. This one is one I would rewatch each holiday.
ReplyDelete~Paula
Tis the Season to be Irish is clean and quite charming. -Maria
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have any information on why GAC’s new Christmas movies are not available on their streaming service? I have a subscription through Amazon Prime and that may have something to do with it but I can’t find A Vintage Christmas. I read an article from September that stated that their premieres would be available to stream also. The only ones I can find are those that have already shown somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Rebecca
Happy Monday to everyone!
ReplyDeleteI don't when I will be posting reviews, for movies that aired this past weekend. My husband is out of town on business and won't be back on Friday. So we will be playing catch-up on our movie viewing. We will have some new movies to watch as well. I hope everyone enjoyed at least a handful of the movies from last weekend. Honestly, I am only looking forward to watching are "Christmas Under the Northern Lights" and "Santa Tell Me". I am looking forward to the first one the most as I have heard really good things about it. I love both Jill and Jesse more than I can say. Good Christian values and they are good people in general.
Joan, I'll look forward to hearing your reviews when you and your husband are able to watch. That's so fun... I love the anticipation of looking forward to watching together!!! :)
DeleteHi Net,
DeleteAw! Your sweet reply made me smile! :-) Hanging out with my husband, watching Christmas movies, is something we both enjoy so very much. He really is a good man. :-) You will see lots of reviews from me in the coming days.
Joan, How sweet! Looking forward to it! :)
DeleteSanta Tell Me Review ….
ReplyDeleteThis was family friendly, wasn’t my favorite though. I’m not a big fan of the Santa is real. As much as I loved seeing Dan reunited with Erin(on that first scene, I was hoping for a line similar to that “I’m the new constable of Coal Valley”😊😂😂 Her unfortunate mistaking him for the driver was funny.
I did not like the models, I would’ve been better if they were not there at all. I’m not going to go to much into that, but I was disappointed they put that in there. That takes the family out of family friendly to me. And I didn’t like how see led the guys on. Number 3 was obviously not a chosen one, but 1 and 2 were nice. And she connected with both of them. I also don’t want to see her kiss a guy she doesn’t end up with.
It wasn’t a total loss, at the end I found out about January 5, When Calls the Heart Season 12! I still ended the night smiling!😊
I really enjoyed Trivia at St Nicks. I liked Tammin. She was on one of my soaps way back, I think she actually played the same character that Lyndsy Fonseca played on same soap.
ReplyDeleteBut I liked Tammin and she played the character well. She was very uptight and liked to follow certain rules and when her and Brant meet its cause he is breaking some rules (it is quite funny). I liked her and Brant together and the supporting cast was good too. It was fun and I enjoyed it a lot.
Tried my hardest to watch Santa Tell Me. Didn't make it very far. It reminded me for a minute, of A Boyfriend for Christmas. Daniel was great from what I watched. Wasn't a fan of the rest and I just don't love the HM home improvement type movies. I saw lots of chemistry with E & J on WCTH, but not the 2 in this movie. She was snotty and mean. I just couldn't keep going.
I started Northern Lights movie and was so tired and fell asleep but I intend to watch. Was wrapped up in Sunday Night football last night to watch the Irish movie. It seems also a home improvement movie, but it is not a home improvement show movie (those are the ones I do not love). I like Fiona and want to give her movie a try.
Five Gold Rings, unfortunately it doesn't interest me from the preview. I have loved Holand in other movies, but the preview, I found very annoying, all parts of it. Ugh. Maybe it is good, I don't know. There were a lot of movies this weekend.

Review: Christmas Under the Northern Lights -
ReplyDeleteFamily-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? Yes -
For a long time I have considered Jill Wagner to be the best Hallmark/GAF actress! Maybe not necessarily my favorite (I'm not sure who is), but definitely the best! Her acting always seems so natural, and I don't think she has ever given a disappointing performance. And she certainly doesn't here! Jesse is also very good in this role, and you could feel the chemistry develop between the two of them. I also really enjoyed the secondary developing relationship between the "older folks", Bruce and Lauren. And the storyline was better than I had anticipated - I was afraid most of the focus would be on the Northern Lights, and while this is certainly a major part, more focus is on the two budding relationships and the decisions regarding Jill's and Jesse's careers and the sale of the house. This is the first movie of the season for me that is a definite keeper!
Review: Santa Tell Me -
ReplyDeleteFamily-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? Slightly yes -
I am not a big fan of Christmas movies where magic is involved, so from the start that was one strike against it. And you can pretty much predict the ending! But that said, this is a fun, and oftentimes funny, movie! I also thought the acting by everyone involved was really good, especially by Erin. (This could actually be one of my all-time favorite performances by her!) You get the feeling that Erin and all of the guys were really enjoying themselves on this set! Anyway, if you can throw believability out the window, and play along with the fantasy, I recommend giving this a watch.
🎄 Mistletoe Murders - Okay, so I decided to get Hallmark+ for the Christmas season. I’ve watched the first two episodes of “Mistletoe Murders,” and it is a cozy sort of mystery.
ReplyDeleteSarah Drew ("Guiding Emily") is the lead and she is good in this genre. Her character, Emily Lane, owns and runs a Christmas shop, but she also has a covert mysterious past.
The show has a sort of “Murder, She Baked” vibe to it with all the community involvement in Fletcher’s Grove, and Emily has two adorable cats.
Sarah Drew’s opposite is Peter Mooney ("Fly Away with Me"), who plays local police officer, Sam Wilner. He is a single divorced father with a daughter in high school, who also works with Emily at her shop.
I won’t give any of the mystery away, but one of the suspects is an unmarried pregnant woman. There is some mystery as to who the father is of her unborn baby. Another male suspect is referred to as her (and I quote) “Baby Daddy.” Due to that and some violence centered around the murder, the episodes are best-suited for a mature audience.
Thus far, “Mistletoe Murders” is an intriguing mystery series. ~Net
🎄 'Twas the Date Before Christmas – Amy Groening and Robert Buckley are so cute in this! I just knew they would be. Love them both! I only wish we could’ve seen a little more time with them connecting before they went to her parent’s home for Christmas.
Other than the pretending to be in a relationship, which includes some lying, this one is fun and family-friendly. ~Net
🎄 Holiday Crashers – If you’re in the mood for a party, this is the movie for you! Lyndsy and her bestie crash several parties and lie about their identity. I’m not crazy about all of the lying, which plays out through much of the movie, but I do like all of the fun scenes with Lyndsy, who plays Toni, and her best friend, Bri. They are so fantastic together, one would really think they’ve known each other since childhood, the way they played off one another so well, with the jokes and playful banter.
Chris McNally and Lyndsy Fonseca were also great together, but I felt their romantic connection was a bit too instant. I wish we could have seen more time with the two of them together. Chris actually felt more like a side character, than a leading star.
Overall, this is a fast-paced, entertaining movie, but it lacks much depth. ~Net
It has been awhile.
ReplyDeleteLost a few people lately, blood & church family😭😭
My client is nearing the end of his journey, so I've been on an emotional roller coaster.
Still pulling over 90 hours a week, I Finally got a day & half free, and I embraced everything Christmas, new movies & TCM classics, and Music🎵🎵
I was so Happy to see Amy get her 1st lead role, and kick off Countdown-
Equally looked forward to Chris & Lyndsy-
But the Lying just ruined both for me.
Then HM 1st movie with Alison & Naill- also about lying....
When Net💞was wonderful enough to tell us about Erin & Daniel repairing, I said NOPE can't go back there, but where I was Saturday night they wanted to see it, they have never seen WCTH.
In my emotional state, I flashed back to so much of Elizabeth & Jack- how much I Loved them, heartbroken when Daniel left💔💔
Loving Lucas from the beginning and having my heart broken again💔💔
The 3 Nick's were comedy gold at times, I loved her sister❤️
My Church ladies that I watched it with, they each had their favorite Nick, but said we'll (Daniel) he is a Cutey pie, so Ok👍👍
Which made me 🤣😂
In that God gave me Grace, and I embraced it🙏🙏
GAF- Christmas under the Northern lights:
Jill, Jesse & Bruce❤️❤️❤️ it was a little slow in parts, but I love all three so much, it was a happy escape
Sorry for my Novel again🤪
Thank you Net for all the hard work in making this Wonderful site available🙏💞
Kathy❤️Texas, I'm so sorry to hear about your recent losses, honey. You have such an incredible heart for caring for others.
DeleteThank you for sharing with us and giving us your thoughts on some of the movies you've seen. I'm so glad Erin & Daniel's movie touched your heart ❤️. I know it was bittersweet to see the two together again.
I appreciate your sweet comment! It's my joy to share here and bring everyone together. God bless you!
Tis the Season to be Irish was very cute and heartwarming! And sweet characters!! I always love the highland films. And what a great cottage!! My mom is a house flipper and a lover of the old Ireland/Scotland country homes. She’ll enjoy this. Plus it was family friendly!!
ReplyDeleteDidn’t care for the mentions of luck, fate, and the wishing fairies, but that’s to be expected in Ireland. It’s not one I would buy, but I enjoyed watching something new. Just what I needed after painting the house all day!
Review: Coupled Up for Christmas -
ReplyDeleteFamily-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? No -
And still another movie filled with lies and deceptions! (Can't the writers come up with something original??) Along with the lies and deceptions, this one has characters who can't seem to make up their mind who they want to end up with! By the time the movie ended, I was so exhausted that I couldn't have cared less who ended up with who! And Tiffany's mom was soooo irritating! You won't miss anything by skipping this one!
Mark 25, Yeah, so many movies include lying this year. I think the ones that don't include it would make a shorter list.
Delete"Christmas Under the Northern Lights" was such a sweet, heartfelt story! Jesse and Jill's acting was top-notch, their developing friendship and then romance was so natural, so genuine. I liked how the focus of Christmas was on true Light and how Jesse's character put it into words was so poetic and beautiful. This movie has warmed my heart. All in all it's 10/10 for me.
ReplyDelete*Oksanka*
Some interetsing viewing figures.
ReplyDeleteSanta Tell Me had an overnight viewing figure of 2.253m the highest so far this Season.
On the other hand Five Gold Rings had a dismal figure of just 540k - a Season's low.
You wonder why they persist with Thursday night Premiere airings.
With all the changes going on at Hallmark my gut is saying that the Mystery Channel might soon disappea maybe amalgamated with the main Channel? - Florence
Series like The Curious Caterer would probably get much higher figures there - Florence
Coupled Up for Christmas was pretty cute. -Maria
ReplyDeleteReview: 'Tis the Season to be Irish -
ReplyDeleteFamily-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? Borderline No -
And the season of lies and deceptions just keeps rolling along...
So here we have the character Sean who deceives Rose by making her think she is buying a nice looking cottage (based on an online picture) when in fact it is a shambles. When she goes to confront him, he is rude, especially when she want to fix the place up and he tells her she is forbidden from doing this, that, and the other thing. I don't know - based on his arrogance and rudeness, I had a hard time believing she would eventually fall for him. So anyway, the next thing we know (after a commercial break), she has somehow fixed the place up to make it look attractive and livable practically overnight! (I actually did a rewind to see if I missed something, but no.) Not believable at all.
But on the plus side, I thought Fiona was excellent in her role, and I also enjoyed the two supporting women, and I felt for the one who was having a hard time parting with her late husband's ashes. To me the scenes with the three women were the highlights of the film. But this still wasn't enough to compensate for the problems I mentioned.
I felt similar Mark, I enjoyer it because it was new, had sweet characters like the ladies and as you said Fiona was really great!! And to be truly honest the scenery and accent drew me to it! ;)
DeleteI didn’t care for all the good luck, fate and wishing fairies talk, but I wasn’t surprised that was in there being in Ireland. And thought Sean was kinda dry.
Christmas Under the Northern Lights - so far this is the best movie I’ve seen on GAF this year. Jill and Jesse were great together. Family-friendly. Christie
ReplyDeleteHi Net,
ReplyDeleteI am breaking my reviews out individually by the movies we enjoyed the weekend of 11/8.
Movie #1 - “Christmas Under the Northern Lights” - Aw this movie was just lovely! Jill and Jesse had sweet chemistry as did Lauren and Bruce. Honestly, I had a smile on my face throughout the entire movie. Jill was glowing. She gets more beautiful with age. There was a calmness, between Jesse and Jill, that brought me so much comfort. This movie was a gift! Endearing, sweet, funny, and memorable.
Movie #2 - “Santa Tell Me” – I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. I laughed out loud so many times! I felt this role was perfect for Erin and my favorite out of all of her movies. Plus, seeing her with Daniel again melted my heart. They were magic together. They too, have an ease about them that was heartwarming. Plus, very magical kiss at the end!
ReplyDeleteMovie #3 - “Coupled Up for Christmas” – For the most part, I enjoyed this movie. I could have done without as much of the zaniness! I was exhausted by the end. And, of course, all of the lying got old. But I thought Marcus and Sarah were really good! In fact, Marcus brought his A-game. Like with Erin and Fiona, I thought this was Marcus’s best performance I have seen. A lot of the time, he keeps things at the surface. But this time there was a depth and authenticity, to his performance that was quite wonderful. He is a better actor than I gave him credit for, and he has grown as an actor. He had some really touching scenes that made me teary-eyed. Anyway, I felt Marcus and Sarah had great chemistry, and their budding relationship was nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Net,
ReplyDeleteNow, his is my feedback on the remainder of the Christmas movies, from the weekend of 11/8. I never enjoy writing negative reviews, but I honestly did not like any of the following movies that aired two weekends ago: “Five Gold Rings”, “Christmas in Rockwell”, “Tis the Season to be Irish”, “Case of the Christmas Diamond” and “Trivia at St Nick’s”. Of those movies, I gave the Irish movie the most chance as I watched about 30 minutes of it. I am a huge fan of Fiona’s and I thought this was her best role, but I did not like her with Sean. The scenery was lovely however, nothing really happened during the time I spent on it. So, now I am caught up on the Christmas movies from last week. :-)
