Tonight I'll probably watch something lighthearted and fun and choose a new movie I haven't seen, yet... To Have and To Holiday, which encores tonight, Monday, November 25th at 6pm/5c. on the Hallmark Channel, followed by one of my favorites, Picture a Perfect Christmas at 8pm/7c.! And, if you're a night owl, like I am, A Christmas Less Traveled encores tonight on Great American Family at 10pm/9c.!

Happy ONE MONTH 

'til Christmas, Everyone!

Wishing you all... 

God's Love, Joy, and Peace,

ICYMI: When Calls the Heart's Erin Krakow, Janette Oke, & Hearties Seen In New Interview >>

CBS Sunday Morning's reporter, Faith Salie, sat down with author Janette Oke, When Calls the Heart's Erin Krakow, and Hearties, fans of the When Calls the Heart series. These interviews (see in video below) ran during a segment on their program on Sunday morning, February 11th.

Erin Krakow expressed, "There is a real desire for heartwarming entertainment; it's something that I think all of us really want in our lives."

And when she's asked about being the star of When Calls the Heart, Erin is quick to say, "I am just one piece of the heart of the show, because we are a show about community, and I think that we wouldn't be Hope Valley, we wouldn't be When Calls the Heart without all the members of this community.

Janette Oke, whose books inspired the Hallmark Channel series shares about the love and acceptance within the viewers of When Calls the Heart.

Plus, you'll also get to see in this interview below some loyal Hearties who express their devotion and love of the series, and how they have met so many dear friends because of it.

Season 11 of When Calls the Heart premieres Sunday, April 7, 2024 on the Hallmark Channel.

Movie Reviews:

🎄 A Christmas…Present was great. Of course family friendly and it's a keeper! Can't believe that we actually have such a strong faith based movie on tv in the world we live in! A must see film!! ~ Joyce in Carolina

🎄 A Christmas…Present is absolutely the best Christmas movie I’ve watched in a very long time. Such a wonderful message for Christmas! All the actors were fantastic! And Hillary Scott singing at the end! So beautiful! - Jennifer R

🎄 A Christmas Present is by far the best GAF movie I've seen all year! A + from me! –Maria

🎄 There are no words to express how I feel about A Christmas Present. Just WOW! Awesome! My heart was overflowing with joy at the end of this movie. Thank you Candace and GAF! ~kitkat

🎄 A Christmas... Present is a beautiful story that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas! It is heartwarming, inspiring, emotional, funny, and inspirational all wrapped up in one! This movie is by far deeper than your typical Christmas movie romantic comedy, and I loved all the heartfelt brother and sister talks about faith and scripture. Plus, Candace Cameron Bure and Marc Blucas (who portrayed her husband) had wonderful chemistry on screen together. It was nice to see a family go to church with one another, and I loved hearing Hillary Scott (of the country music group Lady Antebellum / Lady A) singing Silent Night! Candace has starred in many wonderful Christmas movies throughout the years, but this moving role that focuses on faith and family is truly her best! You’ll definitely want to watch A Christmas... Present this holiday season on Great American Family and unwrap the true gift of Christmas... Jesus! ~Net

🎄 I have been looking forward to watching "Candace Cameron Bure Presents: A Christmas… Present" since I first saw the trailer and heard Matthew West's song. Now the wait is over and I'm just so happy to have watched this truly special movie! It really is about Christmas, about our greatest gift - Jesus, about family, about what really matters in life. I'm so grateful to Candace Cameron Bure and all the creators of this movie for all the Bible verses, for all the deep conversations about God and faith. You don't happen to see it often in Christmas movies though they're called Christmas. Thank you GAF for not being afraid to be different in this world. That's what faith all about! ~Oksanka~

🎄 A Christmas…Present is family friendly about Eric & Maggie Larson are professionals, with busy work schedules that include some high-maintenance clients. The entire Larson family has every moment scheduled, with activities and events. However, they stop all their extra holiday plans because they are reminded that this is the first Christmas for Maggie’s brother since her sister-in-law passed away. Therefore, they have decided to spend Christmas with Maggie’s brother, Paul, and his daughter, Ashley. This is a difficult time and family is more important than ever. Things don’t start too smoothly. Maggie likes to stay busy, and check items off a list. Meanwhile, her brother prefers to take things slower and embrace the moment. Therefore, their ideas about Christmas are dramatically different. Yet, after a few unexpected events, things start to transform for the Larsons. Maybe Christmas is meant to be more peaceful than busy? ~Anonymous

🎄 Candace Cameron Bure Present: A Christmas Present is family friendly. It’s refresh & emotional movie about Real Estate Agent Maggie Larson is determined to give her Brother named Paul & Niece named Ashley the best Christmas possible & to lift their spirits when they most need it. (Review contains Spoilers) It’s about God, Faith, & Family. Bible Reference & Quotes. Bible Verses: 1 Corinthians 13:8 - Love never fails ❤️ Love bears all things … endures all things. Love never ends.” (1 Cor. 13:7–8a). Maggie & Eric keep their marriage strong & heal. What’s God has plan for them? Hilary Scott sings Thy Will?; at the church ~Anonymous

🎄 ICYMI: Christmas News from CBS and ABC... 🎄

This is the time of year when Christmas entertainment news seems to spread like wildfire. Both ABC and CBS have shared news of what's coming to their networks. In case you missed it, here's the scoop...

CBS officially announced back in April they would be premiering three new original holiday movies to air in December 2022. One of those movies was "Fit for Christmas." At the time, we knew Amanda Kloots (host of The Talk) would star in the movie, but recently, it was revealed her co-star is one of Hallmark's favorite stars, Paul Greene (When Calls the Heart, My Favorite Wedding, A Christmas Detour).

"Fit for Christmas" storyline via CBS:

"THE TALK's Amanda Kloots will star in and executive produce FIT FOR CHRISTMAS from writer and executive producer Anna White ("Christmas Wonderland"), the tale of Audrey, an enthusiastic Christmas-obsessed fitness instructor at a beloved, financially beleaguered community center in quaint Mistletoe, Mont., who begins a holiday romance with a charming, mysterious businessman, complicating his plans to turn the center into a more financially profitable resort property. The movie will be produced by Brad Krevoy's Motion Picture Corporation of America."

Dear Santa, documentary 

about the United States Postal Service's 

"Operation Santa" program, 

to be made into new holiday docuseries for ABC Television

According to a press release via businesswire.com: "The forthcoming six-episode Series will take audiences on an inspiring holiday journey as children across America write letters to Santa and kind-hearted “elves” step up in unexpected ways to make their Christmas wishes come true. Creating a Series based upon the documentary - which maintains an impressive 89% Fresh Rating on “Rotten Tomatoes” - was a hoped-for next step for the filmmakers. “During pre-production on the movie, we came across so many extraordinary letters, that it made choosing which to feature, pretty challenging. With Santa getting new requests every year and with new groups of elves ready to adopt them, we knew Dear Santa could make for an exceptional docuseries,” said Nachman.

Shot in December 2021 in major cities and small towns all across the nation, the Series will feature a diverse array of stories. Giving viewers unprecedented access into the United States Postal Service’s (“USPS”) Operation Santa program, each episode spotlights the good, everyday people and the thousands of dedicated postal employees who make Christmas magic happen from Coast-to-Coast. “Operation Santa is a national endeavor, but its success is truly thanks to the participation of the many thousands of selfless individuals and postal workers who unite in support of their fellow citizens year after year. As an organization that serves and exists for all Americans, it was important to USPS that the Series feature a breadth of local stories from around the country,” said Karpenko, Executive Director of Marketing, USPS.

The Series will air in December across ABC’s local networks..."

In it, a renowned romance novelist famous for her Christmas-themed books finds herself snowbound in the charming town of Cranberry Falls, where she unexpectedly becomes involved in a love triangle between her childhood crush and a reporter determined to interview her to save his dying magazine. The movie will be produced by Brad Krevoy’s Motion Picture Corporation of America.

In December 2021, the CBS Original movies “Christmas Takes Flight” and “A Christmas Proposal” were the first original holiday television movies to air on CBS since 2012, and the newest additions to CBS’ longstanding holiday programming slate, which includes family-favorites like The Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS and the annual broadcasts of beloved animated classics, including “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Frosty the Snowman.”

Additional information about all the new CBS Original movies will be announced in the coming months.

------------------- End of Press Release -------------------

My Quick Take:

I find it interesting that two of these projects will be produced by Brad Krevoy's Motion Picture Corporation of America. Brad Krevoy has been the executive producer on a number of Hallmark movies, including: Crossword Mysteries, The Christmas Waltz, Christmas in Rome, My Favorite Wedding, Murder She Baked, Crown for Christmas, and many more... Plus, the drama series When Calls the Heart and When Hope Calls and recently, the GAC Family movies: The Great Christmas Switch, Christmas Time Is Here, A Kindhearted Christmas, Royally Wrapped for Christmas, Christmas Is You, Jingle Bell Princess, A Lot Like Christmas, A Christmas Miracle for Daisy, A Christmas Star and Joy for Christmas, The Winter Palace, and Harmony from the Heart! I'm hoping, with such a terrific resume, these two new Christmas films coming to CBS will be just as good.

"Hallmark Hall of Fame" Movie pulled from Schedule!

UPDATES ADDED BELOW...

FYI: The Hallmark Hall of Fame movie "Hear My Song" has been removed from the CBS schedule  lineup on Saturday night, April 16, 2016. The news came direct from CBS press and thus far, I have not discovered a reason why.

Via CBS press express- QUOTE: "The following rebroadcasts of NCIS: NEW ORLEANS and CRIMINAL MINDS replace the previously scheduled programming, HEAR MY SONG, on Saturday, April 16:"

My thoughts...

Hmmm??? I can't imagine why they pulled this movie days away from the premiere. Typically, they used to show Hallmark Hall of Fame films every year around this time to promote the Mothers Day Cards at the Hallmark Stores. Stay tuned for further updates!

UPDATE #1: TVweek.com gives a good explanation on their site as to why the movie was suddenly pulled. It will also not be shown on the Hallmark Channel or Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

UPDATE #2: Hallmark released their own statement regarding the movie, here.

Hallmark Hall of Fame Returns to CBS with All New Original Film, "Hear My Song"!

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: Hear My Song

This is a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation!

Network: CBS ?

Original Air Date: CBS pulled this movie from it's originally scheduled premiere date. Stay tuned for details!

CAST:

Dustin Hoffman ... Mr. Carvelle
Kathy Bates ... headmistress
Debra Winger ... Ms. Steel
Garrett Wareing ... Stet
Eddie Izzard ... Drake
Josh Lucas ... Gerard
Kevin McHale ... Wooly
Joe West ... Devon

PLOT:

via CBS Press Release:

New "Hallmark Hall of Fame" presentation HEAR MY SONG, starring Academy Award winners Dustin Hoffman and Kathy Bates, Academy Award nominee Debra Winger, Emmy Award winner Eddie Izzard, Josh Lucas and Kevin McHale will be broadcast Saturday, April 16 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

The inspirational, music-filled movie tells the tale of a neglected 12-year-old boy, Stet (Garrett Wareing), whose devilish behavior obscures his angelic singing voice until he enters a boy choir boarding school where the demanding choir master (Hoffman) drives him to achieve beyond his wildest dreams.

After the passing of Stet's mother, his affluent father, Gerard (Josh Lucas, "A Beautiful Mind," "The Mysteries of Laura"), is summoned to Texas, where he finally meets the son he's kept a secret from his wife and daughters home in New York City. Stet's supportive school principal, Ms. Steel (Debra Winger, "Terms of Endearment," "An Officer and a Gentleman"), reveals to Gerard what an exceptional singer Stet is, and easily persuades him to enroll Stet in a boarding school that's home to the country's leading boys choir.

At first, Stet is shunned by his classmates due to his untrained voice, inability to read music and bad-boy demeanor. Though the choir's demanding conductor, Mr. Carvelle (Dustin Hoffman, "Rain Man," "Kramer vs. Kramer"), and Carvelle's aloof musicologist, Drake (Eddie Izzard, "Ocean's Thirteen," "The Riches"), are intimidating to Stet at first, the school's feisty headmistress (Kathy Bates, "Misery," "American Horror Story") and Wooly (Kevin McHale, "Glee"), a kind young teacher, offer the nurturing he needs.

Stet's superb training and inner grit eventually propel him to be a contender for the lead role in the choir, a long unchallenged position held by his fiercest rival, Devon (Joe West). Finally, after finding people who believe in him, Stet achieves a level of skill, success and serenity that he never thought possible.
