Karen shared this review for Candy Coated Christmas:

🎄"I watched a movie called Candy Coated Christmas. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know, in case you want to add it to this list of movies, that unfortunately due to one phrase, it is not family friendly. A younger girl is asking the main female character if she has any boyfriends back home. The main female character replies that she doesn't and explains why...to which the younger girl asks "Have you tried girls". There is no reply to this question...the topic totally changes. It's like this phrase has just been thrown in there to reach their quota or something. Otherwise, the rest of the movie is ok." ~Karen

I hope this review is helpful for you. Candy Coated Christmas stars Molly McCook (Last Man Standing), Aaron O'Connell (12 Gifts of Christmas, Made for Each Other), and Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman, Food Network).

I hope you all have a wonderful, sunshiny weekend. Please do keep cool out there, if you can, in this intense Summer heat. It's going to be severely hot across many states this weekend.

I'm going to soak up a little sunshine and try to catch as much as I can of Great American Family's last few days of Christmas 24/7. Plus, I'm going to be sure to record the new *Christmas in July* movie on the Hallmark Channel. I may have mentioned a time or two that I'm a big fan of Corey Sevier - so I'm hoping this is a good one!

Have a beautiful, blessed weekend, everyone!

Happy Christmas in July!

Premiere Date Announced for 'A Merry Christmas Wish' starring Jill Wagner & Cameron Mathison & MORE GAC Family Christmas News!!!

'A Merry Christmas Wish,' starring Jill Wagner & Cameron Mathison, will premiere Saturday, November 5, 2022 in GAC Family's new annual tradition, Great American Christmas! This all new Christmas movie is set on a family farm. See the story details below...

Storyline via GAC Family: "Janie (Jill Wagner), a rising marketing executive living in The Big Apple, returns to her hometown of Woodland Falls when her Great-Uncle Randall passes away. Janie is not prepared for the gift Randall has bestowed onto his last living relative: the family homestead, Janie’s childhood home. While not immediately sure what to do with a fully functioning farm, Janie agrees to honor Randall’s final request to plan and host Woodland Falls’ annual Winter Wonderland as Randall’s gift to his community. Randall has even arranged for his farmhand, Dylan (Cameron Mathison) to help at the event, which is being held in the farm’s sprawling barn. Aware that her Manhattan boyfriend is anxious for her to return to the city so the pair can jet off to a previously planned holiday on the beach, Janie begins to feel an unexpected emotional tug about living life in a more authentic, meaningful way."

The two new acquired films are Merry Kissmas and The Christmas Calendar...

Merry Kissmas first premiered on the ION Network in 2015.

Cast: The movie stars Brant Daugherty (Mingle All the Way), Karissa Lee Staples (Betting on the Bride), David O'Donnell (Christmas Under Wraps), and Doris Roberts (Mrs. Miracle)

Synopsis: Unwinding her relationship from a controlling choreographer, Kayla happens to fall for a handsome man, Dustin, who she shares a magical kiss with on a chance elevator encounter. But, when the choreographer begins to make nice and Dustin is the one who makes some missteps, Kayla is torn on which man she really loves.

My Take: I watched this movie when it first premiered back in 2015 on ION, and honestly, I haven't watched it since. I distinctly remember it not being a keeper for me. To be honest, some of the behavior is rather odd and unusual. I truly wanted to like it, originally, since I really like all of the main actors involved, but it just wasn't for me. An older woman (played by Doris Roberts) kisses a younger man, Dustin (Brant Daugherty), in an elevator without his approval. Later on, Kayla (Karissa Lee Staples) kisses Dustin in the same elevator, while she is somewhat involved with Carlton (David O'Donnell), who is a self-absorbed, egotistical, two-timing, rude choreographer with an awful British accent. Throughout the movie, Kayla somehow can't decide between Carlton or Dustin, which is rather annoying. While I love Doris Roberts in the Mrs. Miracle films, I didn't think this role highlighted how wonderful she is as an actress. The same can be said for Brant Daugherty, who has an excellence performance (in my opinion) in Mingle All the Way.

The Christmas Calendar first premiered on UPtv in 2017.

Cast: The movie stars Laura Bell Bundy (Season's Greetings), Brendon Zub (Cut, Color, Murder), and Johannah Newmarch (When Calls the Heart)

Synopsis: When Emily, a struggling baker in a small town, receives a handmade Christmas calendar from a secret admirer, the local residents become obsessed with finding out the identity of the sender.

My Take: I've seen this movie several times on UPtv since it first premiered back in 2017. It is family-friendly and very sweet; I'm a fan of Laura Bell Bundy's previous Christmas movies. The storyline in this movie reminds me a lot of My Christmas Love or last years premiere, Eights Gifts of Hanukkah. It's a delightful sort of mystery trying to figure out who sent Emily the Christmas calendar. Overall, this Christmas movie is lighthearted and entertaining, a delicious Christmas treat!

Happy Christmas in July! Net 🎄

🎅🚜 First Look at Jill Wagner and Cameron Mathison in GAC Family's ‘A Merry Christmas Wish’🎄🌟

USMagazine.com revealed a behind-the-scenes look at GAC Family's new Christmas movie, A Merry Christmas Wish, starring Cameron Mathison (A Kindhearted Christmas) and Jill Wagner (A Christmas Miracle for Daisy), which was previously titled: The Christmas Farm.

Here's the storyline, via US Weekly:

"In the movie, marking executive Janie returns home from New York City to a small town called Woodland Falls following her great uncle’s death. Despite being a big city girl now, Janie follows through with her uncle’s wishes to host the annual Winter Wonderland festival at her family’s farm with the help of farmhand Dylan, who is obsessed with Christmas."

If you'd like to check out a fun and very festive look at Jill and Cameron's new movie, see a video clip here at US Weekly! (It's 2 minutes and 30 seconds long.)

My *Quick* Take:

I can already tell I'm going to love this movie!!! I do wish, though, they hadn't changed the original title, The Christmas Farm. I liked the uniqueness of it. A Merry Christmas Wish sounds very close to several other Christmas movie titles. 

As a country girl, myself, I have a feeling I'm going to really enjoy the farm aspect of this new Christmas film. Plus, to boot, it stars two of my favorite actors - Cameron Mathison and Jill Wagner! The preview looks delightful, cheerful, warm and inviting; I can't wait to see A Merry Christmas Wish when it premieres this Christmas season on GAC Family!

I hope we will also see this preview this weekend on GAC Family during their Great American Christmas in July!
