Today is August 25th, which means...
🎄✨ Happy 4 Months ’til Christmas Day!!! ✨🎄
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! 🎅📺 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!
🎥 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? 🎄
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!!!✨

Oh, I love this movie! I’ll watch “Hearts” too!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Sharon was going to be in Kristoffer’s new movie. That’s sweet! Christie
Sharon Lawrence is Nikki DeLoach’s on screen Mom on
DeleteA Grand Ole Opry Christmas
Michael Rady has been in some great ones, I am going to guess you are going to watch “A Joyous Christmas “? - Becky P.
ReplyDeleteOh 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!
ReplyDeleteNet: I'm going to guess Two Turtle Doves. One of his best.
ReplyDeleteI finished watching "Believe in Christmas" about 5am this morning so that was officially Aug. 25th.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling the excitement building. This coming weekend opens up a local greenhouse that is full of Fall, Halloween, and most importantly Christmas items to buy. The weekend after opens up a Farm in the area that is just filled with Fall stuff that tons of people visit. It's wonderful! It kind of kicks off the holiday season for me. Also, on Sept 10th another place opens up their Santa's Christmasland display that is marvelous and is also a store filled with Christmas items that you can buy and runs through the new year. So, yes, it is getting very exciting. Oh, and college football starts this weekend...woohoo!
My mom was watching the GAF channel the other night, and a commercial came on with great Christmas graphics and saying 55 days until the Christmas movies start. I got such an exciting feeling. They are already starting the commercial countdown.
ReplyDeleteI’m also guessing A Joyous Christmas!🎄
Can’t watch today, but sometime this week I’ll watch Two Turtle Doves, another favorite of mine starring Michael Rady. 🕊️🕊️
I'm guessing its "Two Turtles Doves"? With Nikki Deloach?
ReplyDeleteI think I will watch my personal favorite Nikki Christmas movie..."Reunited at Christmas"!
Is that today!! Wow, time went fast. I’m not sure yet which one to watch. I’ve seen so much while I was down this week. I haven’t seen Christmas in Vienna yet. So maybe that one….
