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???

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! :)

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
