"When Hope Calls" is a hit!
Great American Family hit this one out of the ballpark!

So many positive reviews have been coming in on social media since the premiere of "When Hope Calls" Season 2, Episode 1, last night on Great American Family, that I just had to share some of them with you all! The show is definitely a hit with fans—and with me and my family, too!

Also, I've been asked if there will be an encore airing this week on Great American Family, and unfortunately, at this time, I don't see one scheduled; however, the first episode is available on Amazon Prime through Great American Pure Flix with a free trial. (click here for details)

Candace Cameron Bure Reveals Mystery and Christmas Movie News

Fresh off finishing her latest film, Candace Cameron Bure shared some exciting movie updates while on a flight traveling back home!

Mid-flight, Candace invited her Instagram followers to submit various questions, and here are two that I found particularly intriguing for us movie fans...


First question:

Q: "When is the new mystery movie coming out"

A: Soon! I think next month 😊(with a party face emoji)




Next question:

Q: I love your movies. Will you make more Christmas movies this year?

A: Yes! I just finished filming a new Christmas movie and going to film a second one for 2025 next month!

The new mystery movie being referred to in the first question is "Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Yarn Maker." Hopefully, we will get to see this movie in May, as Candace shared.

Here's the promo Great American Family released for this all-new mystery...




As I've mentioned before, another mystery in the "Ainsley McGregor Mysteries" franchise was filmed in late February and early March, titled "Ainsley Mcgregor Mysteries: A Case For The Watchmaker." Aaron Ashmore and Robin Dunne are back for this movie, as well.

As for the Christmas movie Candace just wrapped, I believe I know the title, but I am awaiting confirmation before sharing. Also, I haven't seen/heard any clues as to who her opposite could be? Do you all have any ideas/guesses?

It has already been announced that Candace and Cameron Mathison are doing a sequel movie to "Home Sweet Christmas," so I presume that is the movie she is filming next month.

Also, this Sunday, April 6th, is Candace's Birthday! Visit my weekend post to see the Candace movies airing this Saturday and Sunday, including a marathon!

Blessings to you all!

Hope You Enjoy The New Premieres, Movie Marathons, & More This Weekend - SEE HERE:

Hello, Friends!

I certainly hope many of you will be able to relax at the end of this weekend on Sunday evening with the new premiere episode of "When Hope Calls" on Great American Family! I know many Hearties are rather excited to have this family show fill the void of "When Calls the Heart" season 12 now being over on Sunday night. (And, yes, I am one of them! Could you tell? Haha!!!)

I watched "When Hope Calls" via streaming last night on Pure Flix, and I can tell you that the first episode is such a beautiful, heartwarming story. Once you revisit Brookfield, you almost feel like you never left. Certainly, there are new characters, but they are gradually eased into the story, along with MANY familiar faces from the first season. It warmed my heart seeing everyone again, and I look forward to watching the first episode again Sunday night! (Yes, it's that good!) I highly recommend this series for family viewing!

Don't forget, there's also something special for "When Hope Calls" fans Friday night, too! (And even more for Canadian viewers on Sunday!) I share more below.

In addition to this, the Hallmark Channel will have a new Spring in Love movie premiere Saturday night, and movie marathons with three actresses we especially love here... Jen Lilley, Cindy Busby, and Candace Cameron Bure! (I love how Hallmark does these marathons with specific stars quite often; these three stood out to me this weekend, so I thought I would share.)

See all of the details below.

When Hope Calls Christmas

In part 1 - a Christmas festival worthy of Harper's Bazaar happens in Brookfield as the community is one of three contenders in the magazine's search for America's #1 Country Christmas Town. The entire town is preoccupied with creating the essence of Christmas for the photojournalist's lens, though, behind the scenes, residents are not living the spirit of the season. In the midst of the fuss, a stagecoach appears, and out steps Abigail Stanton and her son, Cody who have brought a troubled boy to Lillian's orphanage.

In part 2 - photojournalist Paul Franklin is wrapping his research on the community of Brookfield as a contender for America's #1 Country Christmas Town. By now, Paul blends in as the town prepares for Christmas Eve. Lillian, the orphans, and Gabriel are running out of options to restore the troubled boy's hope for better times. Just when all seems lost, a secret Santa appears to fulfill all holiday wishes, and Abigail has a profound conversation with a dear friend from the past. Meanwhile, Paul's lens is recording every miraculous moment.

Hallmark Announces Unscripted Original Series in Development, Christmas, and More

Hallmark released this press release yesterday which highlights a few details of their 16th year of Countdown to Christmas, new reality programming, and more. In case you missed it, here are the details...

Press Release via Hallmark Media:

HALLMARK TO RELEASE A ROBUST SLATE OF ORIGINAL MOVIES AND SERIES, INTRODUCING NEW GENRES, EXPANSIVE HOLIDAY CONTENT, AND RETURNING FAN EXPERIENCES FOR 2025-2026 UPFRONTS

April 3, 2025, NEW YORK – This Upfront season, Hallmark presents an exceptional array of advertising and brand partnership opportunities that fuse the magic of its signature storytelling, with the power of its iconic brand, and unmatched fandom. A rich slate of programming will be offered, including new, original movies and new seasons of fanfavorite original series like, When Calls the Heart, The Way Home, and The Chicken Sisters. Additionally, it will unveil an exciting slate of unscripted series under the banner, “Reality TV with Heart,” bringing unscripted programming back to primetime on Hallmark’s linear flagship network. The 16th installment of Countdown to Christmas on Hallmark Channel – the #1-rated holiday network – will feature a robust roster of new holiday movies, including the second year partnership with the NFL and Skydance Sports for Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story, as well as two original scripted series – the world premiere of limited series, The Twelve Dates of Christmas (working title), and the premiere of Season 1 and 2 of Mistletoe Murders. Viewers will have access to over 4,000 hours of holiday content this season. All premieres will be available to stream the next day on streaming service and membership program, Hallmark+. What’s more, the media company’s keen approach to align with parent company Hallmark opens the door for Upfront marketers to explore on-air and digital sponsorships, exposure at hit fan experiences, licensing opportunities, and more.

“As the leading entertainment network, Hallmark offers multiple platforms and activation opportunities that enable brand partners to leverage our esteemed brand, signature storytelling and powerful fandom, to foster significant and impactful connections,” said Ed Georger, EVP of Ad Sales for Hallmark Media. “With sold-out consumer experiences and innovative activations, we provide advertisers with extraordinary opportunities to meaningfully connect with consumers and viewers. Our recent partnerships with world-class properties, including the NFL and Skydance Sports, further amplify our reach and influence, ensuring brands can thrive in a secure and expansive environment.”

Countdown to Christmas
Though often imitated by others, Hallmark’s unique approach to storytelling - blending hope, joy, and love - remains its secret, winning formula synonymous with the iconic brand. Following the success of Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, which won the title of #1 most-watched cable movie of 2024, Hallmark, NFL, and Skydance Sports are teaming up again this Christmas for Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story, premiering during Hallmark Channel's 16th annual Countdown to Christmas. The partnership will include fan activities, co-branded merchandise, and widespread promotions across various platforms, with more details coming later this year. Also included in this year’s lineup of original holiday programming, is a six-episode scripted limited series, The Twelve Dates of Christmas (working title), based on the novel of the same name by Jenni Bayliss and starring Mae Whitman, Mary McDonnell, and Jane Seymour. Another highlight is Mistletoe Murders, starring and executive produced by Sarah Drew, who plays Emily Lane, a Christmas shop owner who solves local murders.

Reality TV with Heart
Hallmark is reigniting primetime with its new slate of unscripted series, branded as “Reality TV with Heart”. This original programming brings together friendly competition series, community building, home and lifestyle enhancement shows, aligning with the company’s brand principles of joy, hope, warmth, connection, family and most definitely...love. The lineup will feature new seasons and network premieres of Celebrations with Lacey Chabert and Finding Mr. Christmas, which launched in Q4-2024 and garnered wide pop culture attention, bolstered by leading performances in front of and behind the camera from longtime Hallmark stars Jonathan Bennett and Lacey Chabert, respectively. Hallmark’s newest unscripted series, The Motherhood, created and hosted by Connie Britton, premieres on Hallmark Channel May 5th.

New unscripted original series in development include:

• Baked with Love: Holiday: A family recipe bake-off where talented home bakers showcase their signature family holiday bakes and the heartfelt stories behind them.

• Armed to Build: Beloved Hallmark star Nikki DeLoach helps a community honor, celebrate, and give back to their first responders and veterans by delivering distinct life transformations, enabling them to continue their heroic work.

• Daughter of the Bride: Showcases genuine and heartfelt stories of adult daughters helping their mothers as they prepare for a new beginning in love.

• Murder Mystery House: Co-created by Hallmark star Jonathan Bennett, this reality show invites Hallmark Mystery fans to join in on the investigation – inviting them to a gorgeous mansion where there’s been a “murder”. These real-life sleuths must narrow down the suspects, made up of favorite Hallmark actors, and figure out who the culprit is for a cash prize.

Hallmark Activations & Experiences

Hallmark is offering brand partners the opportunity to directly engage with its superfans via its second installment of immersive experiences on land and at sea. This year’s sold-out Christmas cruise will set sail from Miami to Cozumel, Mexico from November 6-10th and will provide even more enhanced engagement opportunities. The Hallmark Christmas Experience will return to the festive Crown Center in the heart of Kansas City, where its corporate headquarters are located. The event, which promises to help guests be merry, make memories, and find magic, takes place over four consecutive weekends, November 28th to December 21st, presenting brands with an array of consumer engagement opportunities in a festive family-friendly environment.

Leveraging Hallmark’s Super Fandom

Despite changes in consumer behavior across industries, Hallmark’s fandom and demand for its signature brand of content and consumer experiences remain strong. Hallmark consistently ranks as the leading destination for holiday programming, driven by an extensive library of original Christmas movies and thousands of hours of original feel-good content. The inaugural Christmas Cruise in 2024 sold-out within hours, leading to a second sold-out sailing, while the Hallmark Christmas Experience attracted more than 100,000 superfans from all 50 states and over 20 countries across the four weekends.

*Hallmark Channel was the #1 most-watched entertainment cable network of 2024 among key demographics. Driven by pop culture sensation Countdown to Christmas, Hallmark Channel became #1 in Q4 among Women 18+ for the 11th year in a row and delivered the Top 3 most-watched cable movies of the year: Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story at #1, Three Wiser Men and a Boy at #2, and Santa Tell Me at #3.

*************************


First, it's lovely to see Ginna Claire-Mason in another movie! I think she is a wonderful actress, so I'm delighted to see Hallmark continue to work with her. And yes, I've also been seeing the news that she is filming a Christmas time-travel movie with Wes Brown titled Newport Christmas.

Speaking of Wes Brown, it's nice to see the Love on the Danube collection of films come to the Hallmark Channel, especially for those who do not have Hallmark+. I have seen the first two and can you that they are, indeed, family-friendly, lighthearted stories. Of the two I saw, I enjoyed Love On The Danube: Royal Getaway best.

I have also seen the mystery The Jane Mysteries: Murder At Moseby, and I must say it was my least favorite movie of the series. It was rather slow for me personally and just didn't interest me much, but I stayed with the story until the end. As I recall, the Edgar Allan Poe Festival in the movie is rather creepy. It's definitely best for preteens and up.

Have you seen any of these Hallmark movies? If so, please feel free to share your thoughts on any of these movies in comments below.

Happy movie-watching!
