♫ Laura Osnes and GENTRI's New Enchanting Music Video - "All I Ask of You"

Laura Osnes & GENTRI team up for a breathtaking remake of the powerful song, "All I Ask of You"!

If you’re looking for something beautiful to listen to, this will surely make your day!

Broadway star (and Hallmark/Great American Family favorite!) Laura Osnes has joined voices with the powerhouse musical trio GENTRI for a stunning new music video "All I Ask of You" from "The Phantom of the Opera," and it’s every bit as magical as you’d imagine! ✨

Laura’s sweet, enchanting voice pairs perfectly with GENTRI’s soaring harmonies, creating a version of this classic that feels both timeless and brand new. It’s elegant, heartfelt, and just one of those performances you can’t help but watch (and listen to) on repeat! I've embedded the video below!

For weeks, Laura and GENTRI have been giving us little sneak peeks from behind the scenes of this gorgeous music video, and I’m so excited to finally see it come together. Now that it’s out officially, I’m thrilled to share it with all of you!

If you love music that makes your heart happy, this is one video you’ll want to check out. Trust me, you’ll be swept away!!!

Enjoy this beautiful video here...

"All I Ask of You" feat. Laura Osnes | GENTRI




Wasn’t that just spectacular? Truly a beautiful performance that stays with you long after the last note.♫

I’ve been hoping we might see Laura Osnes and Casey Elliott (from GENTRI and Great American Family movies) star in a musical romantic-comedy together. While this isn’t quite that, watching them bring so much heart and beauty to this performance gives me renewed hope of that potentially happening some day!

Blessings to you all,

Weekend Thoughts...

I'm sooo looking forward to relaxing with many of the Great American Family CHRISTMAS movies this weekend, especially the new premiere, Christmas Wreaths & Ribbons! And I'll be decorating my Christmas tree as I watch! I love when the Christmas lights are the only lights in the room; there's nothing quite like that warm feeling!

Also, I've enjoyed the previous Curious Caterer Mysteries, so I'm looking forward to catching this new premiere sometime soon. Hopefully, this new mystery will be just as good as the prior ones!

*Note #1: The Hallmark Channel is also premiering their last Fall Into Love movie Saturday night, Haunted Wedding, but since the story centers around a ghost and paranormal activity, I've decided not to promote this film.

*Note #2: I haven't seen the new movies airing this weeekend; if you'd like to leave a review, please share in comments below.

*Note #3: For those of you wondering about the Christmas Movie Review Page for 2024, I will have that up next week... so stay tuned!

I hope you all enjoy watching the Christmas movies on Great American Family, too. They are also showing many wonderful promos for their upcoming movies (A Little Women's Christmas, I Heard the Bells, Christmas Wreaths and Ribbons, A Vintage Christmas, A Christmas Less Traveled, Candace Cameron Bure and Mario Lopez promoting Great American Christmas, a lovely promo for Great American Pure Flix, and more!)... so even the commercial breaks are enjoyable, too!

Have a Blessed Weekend, Everyone!

Christmas Blessings to You All,

Press Release:

GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY 

ANNOUNCES ORIGINAL
WORLD PREMIERE MOVIE,

A WREATHMAKER CHRISTMAS,

STARRING KRISTIN WOLLETT
AND CASEY ELLIOTT

PART OF GREAT AMERICAN CHRISTMAS 2024

NEW YORK, NY – August 8, 2024 — Great American Family, a leader in the production of high-quality, Original Christmas movies, announced production has wrapped on A Wreathmaker Christmas, a World Premiere Original Movie, starring Kristin Wollett (“County Rescue”) and Casey Elliott (Destined At Christmas, Destined 2: Christmas Once More), which premieres during GREAT AMERICAN CHRISTMAS 2024. Kristin Wollett, co-star of the popular new series, “County Rescue,” is also the author of novel The Reel Thing which publishes Fall 2025.

In A Wreathmaker Christmas, Rebecca (Wollett), a wreathmaker rushing to get her holiday orders finished in time for Christmas, slips on icy steps, injuring her arm. Rebecca’s next-door neighbor, Jason (Elliott), takes her to the hospital and as days go by, Jason begins to sacrifice time at his family’s bakery to help Rebecca with her wreathmaking. This creates questions within his family that Rebecca may be taking advantage of Jason’s kindness and potentially at the expense of the bakery’s busiest time of year. When Rebecca overhears the conversation, she retreats and refuses Jason’s offers of help only to discover she misses his presence, his friendship…or is it something more?

🎄 Great American Family Announces New Christmas Movie Premieres With Candace Cameron Bure, Cameron Mathison, Casey Elliott, And More 🔔 SEE HERE:

I have some very exciting news, everyone, that will have you singing "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way"!

Great American Family has announced Candace Cameron Bure will get a second Christmas movie on their network this year, and her co-star is fan-favorite, Cameron Mathison! See their movie title below.

Casey Elliott, who stars in the Destined at Christmas movies and is a member of the singing group Gentri, will also star in a Christmas movie for the network this year. His co-star is Kristin Wollet of County Rescue. See their movie title below.

And more good news, speaking of County Rescue, the television series that focuses on service to others and faith, will return to Great American Family next year in 2025!

Brittany Underwood and Jonathan Stoddard will be paired together again this holiday season in another royal-themed Christmas movie on Great American Family. Perhaps this is a sequel to their film last year, A Royal Christmas Holiday. See their new movie title below.

Also, two more Christmas movie titles were announced without names attached, yet, to these projects. See titles below.


New Great American Family Christmas Movies:

Jingle Bells, Wedding Bells

starring Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison

A Wreathmaker Christmas

starring Casey Elliott and Kristin Wollet

A Royal Christmas Ballet

starring Brittany Underwood and Jonathan Stoddard

Christmas in Scotland

starring ?

Little Women Christmas

starring ?

Stay tuned for more details! I'm sure Great American Family will provide more information on these movies during Christmas in July.

Also, I must say, I am rather excited to see Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison paired together for a new Christmas movie! I think they will be spectacular together, and I love that Candace is getting TWO Christmas movies on Great American Family this year. Even with all of Hallmark's talent, Lacey Chabert had two Christmas films last year for their channel, and I wouldn't be surprised if she also has two this year.

 
Also, I'm delighted to officially share that Casey Elliott will have a new Christmas movie on GFAM this year. We already know he will star in a third installment of the Destined at Christmas films next year with Shae Robins. I think Casey is such a wonderful actor and singer, and I'm beyond thrilled to see him return again this year! And, yes, I'm hoping we might hear him sing in this new movie, even if it's just a little!

As for the movie titles with no names attached, yet, I have some guesses, but we'll see. Trevor Donovan's Christmas movie has yet to be announced. Could one of these be his? Or, Jen Lilley, Jillian Murray, and so on???

🎄Great American Family Announces Christmas Movie News for 2025!!!🎄SEE HERE:

It was *destined* to happen! A third movie in the "Destined at Christmas" franchise is in-the-works for Great American Family and is headed to the network in 2025! The announcement was made in the latest press release for Great American Family's Valentine movie premiere, Passport to Love, which also stars Shae Robins.

Here's an excerpt of the official announcement 

from Great American Family's press release:

"Great American Family announces development of a final original installment of the “Destined” trilogy starring Robins and Elliott, which will premiere as part of Great American Christmas 2025."

Since the last movie was all about Kim (Shae Robins) and Theo's (Casey Elliott) engagement, I think it's safe to guess this third installment would involve their wedding. I'm excited to learn more about it, though, when Great American Family eventually releases more details. Stay tuned!

While we wait for this, be sure to catch encore presentations of the first two "Destined" movies...

🎄 Great American Family Announces "Destined At Christmas 2"! 🎄

More wonderful Christmas movie news today from Great American Family!!!

"Destined At Christmas 2," starring Shae Robbins and Casey Elliott, is coming to the network this Christmas!!!

In the first movie (if you haven't seen it), Kim (Shae Robbins) and Theo (Casey Elliott) meet by chance on Black Friday while shopping for gifts amongst a busy crowd of shoppers. The two are unexpectedly separated and cannot find each other. Unfortunately, neither asked for a full name nor shared a phone number - so they have no way of reaching out. It would end there, except both Kim and Theo felt an undeniable connection, and they try to search for each other throughout the Christmas season!

Great American Family promo for "Destined At Christmas 2":
(Note: It may take a few seconds or a minute for the video below to load, depending on your connection.)

📣 MORE Exciting News! YOU asked for it, so #GreatAmericanFamily is bringing back @CaseyCElliott & #ShaeRobins in #DestinedAtChristmas2 premiering later this year as part of #GreatAmericanChristmas! #Calendar #WelcomeHome pic.twitter.com/oFMygxkMdT

— Great American Family (@GAfamilyTV) June 8, 2023

My Quick Take:

How exciting to hear Great American Family is bringing Shae Robbins and Casey Elliott back to reprise their roles for this sequel. The original film was such a hit among many viewers last year; I have a feeling the original and the sequel are destined to win many hearts over again this Christmas!

I personally loved the whole mystery aspect of both Kim and Theo following the clues while attempting to find one another again. My head is already spinning with potential storyline ideas for this sequel. Will Kim and Theo still be together? Will they be thinking of getting married?

I can't help but hope somehow they sneak into the script some way for Casey Elliott to sing. He has such an amazing voice in real-life and is part of the musical group GENTRI. (In fact, Shae's husband, Brad, is also one of the members of the group.)

What are your thoughts on this sequel? Please share in comments below...

May your day be Merry & Bright,

🌟The First *NEW* Christmas Movie Premiering on Great American Family this Year and More! 🌟 See Here:

Over the weekend, Great American Family aired some BRAND NEW CHRISTMAS MOVIE PROMOS!!! The first one I saw played Bing Crosby in the background beautifully singing "It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas." Oh my goodness... there's something about hearing THAT Song, HIS Voice, and THOSE moving Lyrics... that instantly carries my heart away to the magic, awe, and wonder of the Christmas season.

🌟In the NEW Christmas commercial GAfamily shared many of the actors we are anticipating seeing this year on the channel, including Candace Cameron Bure, Danica McKellar, Cameron Mathison, Jen Lilley, etc... The commercial also shared one more actress we hadn't heard announced, yet, for this Christmas season... Cindy Busby! Last year, Cindy starred in Joy for Christmas with Sam Page. Looking forward to hearing what her NEW Christmas movie this year will be on Great American Family!

🌟There was also a new promo commercial for Destined at Christmas, starring Shae Robins and Casey Elliott, which was announced to be the first Christmas movie premiere for 2022 on Great American Family on Saturday, October 22, 2022!

🎄Great American Family Shares New Christmas Movie: “Destined at Christmas” 🌟See Here:

During the Great American Family premiere of "Identical Love" on Saturday night, the network shared a sneak peek of an upcoming Christmas movie in one of the commercial breaks. This new movie is titled "Destined at Christmas" and stars Shae Robins ("Identical Love") and Casey Elliott ("Retreat to Paradise"). The film's production company is Candlelight Media Group, who also produced "Identical Love," "Love, Lost, and Found," "Love's Portrait," "Hot Chocolate Holiday" and others.

"Destined at Christmas" storyline via Candlelight Media Group:
"Kim and Theo meet in the midst of Black Friday shopping madness but there’s a definite spark between them. When a power outage causes some panic at a store, the couple gets separated. With Christmas coming, there should be plenty of distractions but neither Kim nor Theo can forget the other. Both yearn to find each other but how with so little information to go on? It’ll take a little Christmas magic and destiny to bring them back together."

More details are sure to be released by Great American Family regarding when we can expect this movie to premiere this Christmas season. Stay tuned for that!

In the meantime, check out this trailer for "Destined at Christmas":

Destined at Christmas Trailer from SunWorld Pictures on Vimeo.

I think "Destined at Christmas" looks like a fun, refreshing, lighthearted movie! The story made me think of "Prescription of Love" somewhat, in the way he was searching for the mysterious woman in the elevator. After viewing this trailer, I can't wait to see this movie this upcoming Christmas season! Do you feel the same? Please share in comments below.

Blessings on your day, Net
