Rocky Mountain Christmas
Hallmark Crown Media Family Networks

Storyline via Hallmark: Advertising execs Melanie Welsh and Donovan Goodwin disagree on a cellphone Christmas commercial they’re pitching. He says his sleek design will win over the client but she knows it lacks holiday spirit. Christmas is definitely in Melanie’s wheelhouse, but when she draws Donovan’s name for Secret Santa, she’s at a loss. He’s even more minimalist than his advertising style. Determined to give Donovan and their commercial holiday joy, Melanie tries to get to know him via a Secret Santa email. She also takes him to a Christmas tree farm for a crash course in holiday cheer. As they work together, Donovan slowly opens up to Melanie, and she begins to fall for him. What she doesn’t know is he’s her Secret Santa too! As they create the perfect commercial, they also realize they might be perfect partners as well.

May you enjoy all of the Christmas movies airing this week!


MY PICK of the Week:

"Rocky Mountain Christmas" AND "With Love, Christmas!"

However, I do like the end of "The Christmas Heart," which is a beautiful reminder to follow the light!

As for "Rocky Mountain Christmas," there's the handsome Kristoffer Polaha, gorgeous horses and the beautiful great outdoors! What's not to like? Plus, my absolute favorite part is when the parade begins and we can hear Alan Jackson singing in the background, "Let it be Christmas!"

My other pick, "With Love, Christmas," is definitely one of those feel good Hallmark Christmas movies that is lighthearted and heartwarming, too! It's a movie that always uplifts my spirit, especially when Donovan opens up his heart again to Christmas!

I hope you also open up your heart to Christmas this week! May it fill you up - with joy and peace!

Christmas in Connecticut "Re-make":


It is being reported that Jennifer Garner will be re-teaming with her "13 Going on 30" producers for the remake of the 1945 screwball comedy classic, Christmas in Connecticut.

The original storyline (as reported on aceshowbiz.com) revolves around a cooking writer -- the Martha Stewart of her time -- whom the world believes to be living on a cozy farm in Connecticut with her husband and baby. In reality, she's a single woman living on her own in New York. The ruse is discovered when a holiday meal is planned at her fake farm.

After researching this more on-line - I see that there have been on-going plans to re-create this movie since 2007. I am wondering if it is actually going through now or if this is just on-going buzz of the possibility. I am personally very fond of the Barbara Stanwyck original movie and am not particularly interested in a re-creation of a film that is already well-known, innocent and decent in it's time, and loved!



The Most Wonderful Time:

Per deadline.com, Robert Redford and Diane Keaton are in talks to star in new Christmas movie titled The Most Wonderful Time.

The Yuletide project will feature story lines with multiple characters that overlap, based around the chaos of family Christmases.

Please note: I have no idea, at this time, what this will be rated.



Elf-Man:

According to the film’s website - Wise Acre Films: An Elf is left behind by Santa to help rescue the Harper family from a lousy Christmas. The Elf and family get more than they bargained for when their father is kidnapped by bad guys determined to steal his new invention. After the kids help the Elf discover his special powers, he risks his life to save their father. And along the way, he discovers his true destiny as a budding superhero: Elf-Man!

The film stars Jason Acuna, McKenzie Astin, and Jeffrey Combs.



3 Day Test:

Actor Corbin Bernsen (L.A. Law, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus) is creating a new independent film Christmas movie titled "3 Day Test". According to wkyc.com, "3 Day Test," a light comedy written by Bernsen, is a story of a man who takes extreme measures to get closer to his family during the holiday season. Also according to wkyc.com, Bernsen will have a small role in the movie as a burned-out hippie-turned-underground-cable-show producer.



Random Acts of Christmas

“Random Acts of Christmas,” a family friendly Independent Christmas movie began production March 6, 2012 in Wheeling, W.V. according to http://www.huntingtonnews.net/25203.

The film, scripted by Ty (“Doughboy) DeMartino , has been described as “an uplifting drama that focuses on one family’s struggles to get their life back and the lesson learned through simple acts of kindness.”

News from the Bluefield Daily Telegraph states that actor Kevin Sizemore will be the star of this film.


Lucky Dog

According to Adirondack Daily Enterprise, the film, called "Lucky Dog," stars movie star Paul Giamatti and comedic actor Paul Rudd.  The story centers on a pair of French-Canadian conmen pals who, despite being on the outs with each other, hatch a get-rich-quick scheme to sell Christmas trees in NY. Per Cinamablend.com, English sweetheart Sally Hawkins (Made in Dagenham) is set to co-star.

Please note: I have no idea, at this time, what this will be rated or even if it will be family-friendly.



"Unknown Name" - Sequel to The Dog who saved Christmas


According to pasadenastarnews.com - they are now creating the 4th sequel to the "The Dog who saved Christmas" film series. This article states that this movie is being made for the Hallmark Channel, however all of the other movies in this series were aired on ABC Family - so it would be my guess that this one will also be on ABC Family - during their annual "25 days of Christmas" event. We shall have to wait and see... This movie will also star Dean Cain and Elisha Donovan.

The other films in the series were - The Dog who saved Christmas, The Dog who saved Christmas Vacation, and The Dog who saved Halloween.



"Unknown Name" - Sequel to 12 Dogs of Christmas


This is Breaking News from Disney Dreaming - Alli Simpson (sister of Cody Simpson) Lands Her First Movie Role In The “The 12 Dogs Of Christmas” Movie Sequel. Her involvement in the film was revealed during a ustream chat.

Plot of original movie - 12 Dogs of Christmas: Upon being sent to live with her aunt in the small town of Doverville, 12-year-old Emma O'Conner finds herself in the middle of a 'dog-fight' with the Mayor and town dogcatcher. In order to strike down their 'no-dogs' law, Emma must bring together a group of schoolmates, grown-ups and adorable dogs of all shapes and sizes in a spectacular holiday pageant.

The original 12 Dogs Of Christmas Movie is a fun, heartwarming story - so we hope the sequel will be the same!

No other casting or plot details have been released.



*If you have any more information on these films above- please contact us with more details.

Hopefully there will be some wonderful new Family Christmas Movies to enjoy this year!

Which one do you think - you'll like best?
