⏰🎄 There's More Time for Christmas Movies – Turn Back the Clock This Weekend!

Happy Weekend, Everyone!

Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend, which means it's time to fall back and change our clocks again. Personally, I would love it - if we just stayed at the time we are right now. What do you all think? Do you enjoy a brighter morning or more sunlight in the early evening?

At least, this weekend, we'll have more time for watching Christmas movies!!! Once again, we have four Christmas premieres to look forward to, one on Great American Family and three on the Hallmark Channel! And there's lots of wonderful actors starring in these movies: Jill Wagner, Cameron Mathison, Rhiannon Fish, Corey Sevier, Emile Ullerup, and more!

So... as we transition this weekend from October to November, check out details for the new Christmas premieres below + some delightful classics!

🌟 Cameron Mathison's Christmas Movie Co-star Revealed - See Here:

( image via: Great American Media ) 

Great American Family revealed today that Cameron Mathison's co-star for the Christmas movie he is filming right now is... Jill Wagner!

Did YOU get it right?

I almost did. Does that count? Nope. I said Danica McKellar, but I also mentioned it was really hard choosing between her and Jill Wagner because I love them both! Ugh... so close!

Anyway... so it's Jill and Cameron reuniting again! I personally loved them together in "A Merry Christmas Wish"! They had such great chemistry in that - it should be fun to see them paired once again.

See all the details for their new movie in Great American Media's press release:

Great American Media Sets 

An Accidental Arctic Christmas,

Reuniting Beloved Fan Favorites

Cameron Mathison and Jill Wagner,

From Executive Producer

Candace Cameron Bure

NEW YORK, NY – April 2, 2026 – Great American Media announced An Accidental Arctic Christmas, reuniting beloved Great American stars Cameron Mathison (Home Sweet Anniversary, A Merry Christmas Wish) and Jill Wagner (“Lioness,” A Merry Christmas Wish) premiering as part of the upcoming all-star Great American Christmas on Great American Pure Flix, Great American Family, and GFAM+.

“This year’s Great American Christmas represents a maturation of our business and the highest level of talent and storytelling we have ever brought to the screen. From beloved stars to richly layered stories, every film reflects our commitment to creative excellence. Our success as a business in the five years since launch has allowed us to reinvest in content that will yield our most compelling and complete Christmas slate to date and will be a true celebration of the reason for the season,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media.

In An Accidental Arctic Christmas, single dad, Jim (Mathison) and his spirited, science-minded 20-year-old daughter, Isla (Maya Rose Skabar), share a tradition of alternating who decides how they spend Christmas each year. Jim, a former major league baseball player turned broadcaster, never misses hosting his annual Christmas Eve show from Times Square – until Isla persuades him to take a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic cruise, promising they will return in time for his broadcast.

When a timing mix-up leaves them stranded in an arctic town after their ship departs without them, their carefully planned holiday quickly turns into an unforgettable adventure. With no planes, trains, or automobiles available, they must rely on wildlife conservationist Jane (Wagner) and her rugged tundra buggy to navigate the frozen wilderness. As they journey through the awe-inspiring Arctic – from the glow of the Aurora Borealis to the famed Polar Bear Capital of the World—Isla embraces the glory of nature, Jim wrestles with letting go of control, and Jane brings heart and charm to the path forward.

This is Bure’s third film for the 2026 holiday lineup. The “Queen of Christmas” stars in Home Sweet Anniversary with co-star Mathison, the third film in the Home Sweet franchise and sequel to last year’s successful theatrical film, Another Sweet Christmas. Additionally, Bure stars in One More Christmas with Jonathan Scarfe, and executive produces An Accidental Arctic Christmas, currently filming in Canada.

An Accidental Arctic Christmas is a Magic Motion Media production in association with CandyRock Entertainment. Candace Cameron Bure is Executive Producer along with Jeffery Brooks, Ford Englerth, Tim Owens, Eric Jarboe and Holly A. Hines, and Robin Dunne. Caitlin Delaney serves as Producer. Michael Shepard, Justin Kelly, and Pino Halili serve as Supervising Producers, along with Kathy Ceroni and Laurie Singleton as Associate Producers. An Accidental Arctic Christmas is written by Robin Dunne & Arcade Riley.

Movie Review:

Christmas Love and Fudge is clean and quite sweet. -Maria

Christmas Love and Fudge – I agree with Maria’s review; this movie is family-friendly and very sweet. The female lead, Amanda (Erin Karpluk), is quirky and cheerful, and her opposite, Simon (Christopher Russell), is a lot of fun! The two team up to uncover the secret ingredients behind Simon’s Aunt Jackie’s Joy to the World Fudge recipe.

It's just good, cozy comfort entertainment. The heart of the story was all about the fudge and their amazing teamwork, which, of course, leads to love. This ended up being a lighthearted, delightful watch. ~Net

However, his dreams are shattered when tragedy strikes: his daughter dies on Christmas Eve. Grief pulls Dylan away from his wife, Kara, and toward his manager, Jenna, as he tries to distract himself by restoring an old theater. In the midst of loss and searching for purpose, a forgotten song and the steadfast love of his family help him find the miracle of Christmas, reminding him—and everyone—of the core meaning of the holiday: reconnecting through faith, hope, and love.

When unspoken irritations within their relationship finally reach a boiling point, Liv and Daniel find themselves at odds and decide they need to take a break from each other. However, relaying this news to their families will most certainly ruin Christmas, so they decide to move forward with their original plans and will pretend to be a happy couple while everyone is under one roof. As they navigate the complexities of their respective families and work together to create a holiday celebration they'll all remember, Liv and Daniel begin to rediscover what they love about each other and may not have to pretend much longer."

I hope you find one or more of the new movies to enjoy this weekend!

I'm personally looking forward to seeing... both Great American Family movies - Chasing Christmas and Another Sweet Christmas! Of course, with such wonderful actors as Candace Cameron Bure, Cameron Mathison, Trevor Donovan, and Jillian Murray, I already have a feeling these movies are going to be something really special!

Plus, based on Jane's lovely review above, I'm also looking forward to seeing Christmas with the Knightlys on UPtv!

Cautions: Based on the storyline released so far, it appears that the Hallmark movie A Make or Break Holiday may depict a couple who are living together but are not married. Please know, I'm not 100% certain about this. My assumption is simply based on the promo details we have, and things will be clearer, of course, once the movie airs.

The new Hallmark movie, The Christmas Baby, feautures a same-sex female couple adopting a baby.

Also, I want to caution that UPtv’s The Best Thing About Christmas has more emotionally heavy themes. From the story description, the film addresses adult subject matter involving the loss of a young child. However, the story also offers a message of hope, following a grieving father who searches for meaning and healing and ultimately turns to his faith.

Please note: I haven’t pre-screened the NEW movies mentioned above, other than Sweet Holiday Romance. (You can find mine and Maria's reviews above.) If you happen to watch any of the new Christmas movies and would like to share your thoughts, please stop back by and leave a review in the comments. I always love hearing what you think!
