☀️ Reminder: Great American Family Movies Return All Week Long! ☀️

In case you missed it, beginning Tuesday, May 30th, Great American Family will be airing two movies each weeknight starting at 6pm/5c. According to the network, they will be featuring a variety of romcoms and seasonal movies throughout the week!

Here's the schedule this week for Great American Family:
(Eastern Standard Time)

Tuesday, May 30, 2023:

Winter Wedding ... 6pm
Happily Ever Emma ... 8pm


Wednesday, May 31, 2023:

Retreat to Paradise ... 6pm
Romantic Rewrite ... 8pm


Thursday, June 1, 2023:

From Chicago with Love ... 6pm
A Royal Seaside Romance ... 8pm


Friday, June 2, 2023:

A Prince in Paradise ... 6pm
A Christmas Star ... 8pm


Hope you'll enjoy some of these movies this week! My top two picks from these choices would have to be A Royal Seaside Romance and A Christmas Star.

Also, I wanted to let you all know I received some exciting Great American Family Insiders information over Memorial Day weekend, and while not all of the programming details can be revealed, quite yet, until the promotional department releases it, I did want to mention, briefly, that the new movie premieres, other than the Christmas in July film, A Belgian Chocolate Christmas, are likely to come in late July or early August. Once they begin, the network plans to have movie premieres every Saturday night throughout the rest of the year. Great American Media is also still ironing out their deal with the streaming service, Pureflix, but rest assured, more programming is coming and possibly some different genres, too... so stay tuned! That's all I can say for now, but it definitely sounds like some exciting things are coming!!!

By the way, Candace Cameron Bure has been recently sharing some pics on social media - as they are working on her Candy Rock Entertainment Christmas movie! Last years production was "Christmas on Candy Cane Lane," starring Andrea Barber and Dan Payne. Candace is working with Director Martin Wood once again, who also directed her recent Christmas movie, "My Christmas Hero," and many of the "Aurora Teagarden" films.

Happy Movie Watching, Everyone!

In “A Christmas Miracle for Daisy,” Whitney Alder (Wagner) owns interior design firm Marietta Designs, which she runs with her friend Andi (Tegan Moss, “Aurora Teagarden Mysteries”) in the small town of Marietta, Montana. Whitney is designing Santa’s float for the annual Marietta Christmas Parade when a potential job opportunity comes her way: the full redesign of a landmark home by Christmas Eve. Despite the challenge, Whitney and Andi sign onto the job - only to discover the home’s new owner is Whitney’s ex-boyfriend, Connor Sheenan (Bateman), who has moved to town from Los Angeles with his bright-eyed, young daughter, Daisy (Rubi Tupper). Connor had no intention of becoming a family man, but when his goddaughter is orphaned, he adopts her and commits to becoming a devoted single dad. More than anything, Daisy wishes for a mom to complete her picture-perfect family, and no prospect is as perfect as Whitney. Tall order, but Christmas is a time for miracles.
