πŸŽ„✨ Happy 4 Months ’til Christmas Day!!! ✨πŸŽ„ (See Which Christmas Movie I Chose To Mark This Day & Share Your Pick!)




Today is August 25th, which means...

πŸŽ„✨ Happy 4 Months ’til Christmas Day!!! ✨πŸŽ„

It’s time to *Mark the 25th* as part of our monthly Countdown to Christmas celebration!

Not only are we *4 MONTHS away from CHRISTMAS DAY*... but the Christmas movie season is just *2 months away*... beginning in late October! πŸŽ…πŸ“Ί Can you feel the excitement building, too, as each day goes by!?!?!

Here at *It’s a Wonderful Movie*, we love celebrating the 25th of each month with something festive, whether it’s a Christmas movie, a classic holiday cartoon, or anything that brings a little Christmas cheer into our day. It’s such a fun way to keep that joyful spirit alive all year long.

If you’re watching something Christmassy today (or sometime this week), please share in the comments below your pick... I always love hearing your movie choices!

πŸŽ₯ My Christmas movie pick is… "Hearts of Christmas," starring Emilie Ullerup and Kristoffer Polaha. It’s such a heartwarming story about service, the gift of life, and giving to those in need.

And in case you haven't heard... Kristoffer Polaha is currently filming his brand-new Hallmark Christmas movie, "A Grand Ole Opry Christmas," alongside Nikki DeLoach and Sharon Lawrence! How wonderful is that? Sharon Lawrence, of course, also co-starred with Kristoffer in "Hearts of Christmas," so it’s a special reunion.

Plus, we know Country Singer Brad Paisley will also be in "A Grand Ole Opry Christmas," and it was revealed on the Today Show just this morning that these Country Music stars will also make a cameo appearance: Megan Moroney, Bill Anderson, Jamey Johnson, Rhett Atkins, Dailey & Vincet, Drew Baldridge, Maggie Baugh, Suzy Bogguss, Mickey Guyton, Riders in the Sky, Tigirlily Gold, Pam Tillis, and more!

Meanwhile, Kristoffer Polaha's "Hearts of Christmas" co-star, Emilie Ullerup, has an all-new (non-holiday) movie premiering this Saturday on the Hallmark Channel, titled "Catch of the Day," with Michael Rady! It looks like such a sweet and fun story, definitely one to add to our weekend watchlist!

And since we’re talking about Michael Rady, I’m tempted to sneak in one of his Christmas movies this week, one of my all-time favorites, in honor of his upcoming premiere this weekend. Longtime followers here at It's a Wonderful Movie might already know which one I mean… here’s a little hint: its title reflects one of the truest gifts of the season! Any guesses which one it is? πŸŽ„

We have so much to look forward to in the weeks ahead! Shouldn't be too long now 'til we start hearing those full Christmas movie announcements from each channel... stay tuned!!!✨


Wishing you a day
that is truly…
Merry & Bright!πŸŽ„❤️

    Oh my goodness Net! I just watched Hearts of Christmas a couple of nights ago! Love that movie! I think I'm gonna watch Five More Minutes with Nikki tonight. I'm with Becky...guessing you're referring to A Joyous Christmas! Another great movie. It's so hard to believe we are only 4 months away from Christmas already plus the Christmas movies start in 2 months! Happy watching everyone!
