💛🎬 A Heartfelt Thank You for Sharing Your Movie Reviews



I just wanted to take a moment today, as we are still in the early days of a brand-new year, to say thank you to all of you who shared a movie review here throughout 2025- from rom-coms, mysteries, to Christmas!

I'm truly grateful for each and every review, and I know many who visit here feel the same way. I’ve received so many kind emails and thoughtful messages on social media expressing appreciation. Please know - the time you take to share a review really does make a difference!

I’m really looking forward to all the movies and series we’ll continue watching together this year, along with the reviews yet to come in the new year ahead. It’s such a joy when we discover we share a love for a particular movie, and it is just as helpful to know which ones might be best to skip, thanks to the many insightful, detailed, and thoughtful reviews.

I know many of you, like me, are still catching up on Christmas movies. Honestly, I even have a few reviews I’ve been working on that I haven’t submitted yet, but I’ll be sharing those soon! I hope you’ll feel free to continue posting your reviews throughout January, February, and in the months to come. Please know that your thoughts and reviews are always welcome and truly appreciated, anytime.


Happy movie watching, 
and blessings to you all,
Net 💛🎬

The friendly skies - just became friendlier!

As a fun Christmas adventure for fliers, Hallmark and United Airlines have teamed up to give their passengers a 4-minute mini-movie they can watch as they literally travel - above the clouds!

I've embedded the video below to watch, unless you want to save it for your next flight.

Hallmark shared these special details regarding this mini-movie:

"‘Tis the season, and love is in the air - and the friendly skies! Celebrate the season with a mini movie from United and Hallmark. “Miles Apart” stars Hallmark fan favorite and Broadway star, Ginna Claire Mason, with a special cameo by Ginna's real-life husband, Eric - an actual United Airlines pilot!"

“Miles Apart” - a Mini Hallmark Movie:




Isn't it so sweet to see Ginna Claire's real-life husband, Eric, in this short, too?

Hope you enjoyed this Christmas love story!

🎄 Lifetime Announces Christmas Movie Starring Tia Mowry (Includes a "Sister, Sister" Reunion!)



Lifetime announced its next Christmas movie today: A Very Merry Beauty Salon, executive produced by and starring Tia Mowry (Miracle in Motor City, A Very Vintage Christmas).

Tia will reunite with a special actor from her days on the sitcom, "Sister, Sister"!

See all of the details below...



Press Release via Lifetime:

LOS ANGELES, CA (September 25, 2024) - It’s beginning to look a lot more like Christmas as Lifetime announces the greenlight of the new original movie, A Very Merry Beauty Salon, executive produced and starring Tia Mowry. RonReaco Lee, Donna Biscoe, Cocoa Brown and Ashli Auguillard are also set to star in A Very Merry Beauty Salon. The movie follows the lively women of an Atlanta beauty salon owned by Sienna (Mowry) who must prepare for the annual Tinsel Ball, but is Sienna also prepared for love when Lawrence (Lee) arrives to town? This marks a reunion for Mowry and Lee who previously starred together in the iconic sitcom Sister, Sister. This marks the final installment of Mowry’s three-picture deal with the network.

In A Very Merry Beauty Salon, Sienna, the owner of the bustling Divine Beauty Salon is preparing for Atlanta’s Tinsel Ball, where she will be honored for her charitable work in the community. The annual event takes a glamourous turn with the arrival of Lawrence, a charismatic CEO whose family’s wine brand is now co-sponsoring the Ball. Sparks fly between them, but Sienna’s mother Georgia (Donna Biscoe) who is the head of the Ball’s committee, worries his involvement may ruin the event’s traditions. As Sienna and Lawrence are unexpectedly paired as dance partners, romance blooms, setting the stage for a steamy romance that challenges Sienna’s thoughts on love and family and makes this year’s Tinsel Ball the most memorable yet.

Cocoa Brown and Ashli Auguillard star as Miss Kimmy and Ella, hairdressers at the salon.

A Very Merry Beauty Salon is produced for Lifetime by FOX Entertainment Studios’ (FES) Mar Vista Entertainment in association with GroupM Motion Entertainment. Adam Shepard, Larry Grimaldi, Hannah Pillemer and Fernando Szew executive produce for FES. Richard Foster and Chet Fenster executive produce for GroupM Motion Entertainment. Tia Mowry, Adam Griffin and Mychael Chinn also executive produce. Bobby Yan directs from a script by Tara Knight.

A Very Merry Beauty Salon joins the slate of the previous announced movies including FES’ The Holiday Junkie starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, as well as Christmas in the Spotlight starring Jessica Lord, Laith Wallschleger, Jennie Mai and Haley Kalil. Lifetime’s full slate will be announced in the coming weeks.

Mowry is represented by UTA, Vault Entertainment, True Public Relations and Felker Toczek Suddleson McGinnis Ryan.

The press release above mentions that this movie project marks the final installment of Tia Mowry’s three-picture deal with the network. At this point, we don't know if they will sign Tia to do more movies. That decision will likely be based on the ratings of this Christmas movie.

You may have seen Tia Mowry's name in the press recently since she mentioned in her We TV docuseries, Tia Mowry: My Next Act, that she wishes she and her twin sister, Tamera, "were still close."

I know a lot of fans were concerned about the sister's relationship, which is probably why Tia released a statement to US Weekly to clarify, "I feel like as we grow up, we all start our own families, and their children need to lean on them. We begin to take on new roles and responsibilities within our lives. That is what that was all about."

Tia further explained that they are also physically distant, making it harder to stay close.

Hopefully, through all of this, the sisters can find time again for one another. Tamera also has a new Christmas movie premiering on the Hallmark Channel this holiday season.

Have a Merry Day!

🌟 Stream Great American Family Movies for Free and More 🎬 SEE HERE:



Great news! Great American Family continues to add FULL movies to their YouTube page that can be streamed for free - with stars like Lori Loughlin, Trevor Donovan, Jessica Lowndes, Daniel Lissing, Merritt Patterson, Maggie Lawson, Christopher Russell, Chad Michael Murray, and more!

Be sure to tell any of your friends or family who don't have GFAM, as this will give them a wonderful taste of what they are missing weekdays from 4pm - 10pm on this wonderful channel.

With February 25th coming up this weekend - making it 10 MONTHS 'til Christmas!!! - I thought this would be an excellent time to share the Great American Family Christmas movie selections currently available to stream, as well.

Plus, you'll find below four extra family-friendly Christmas movies that are available to stream easily and free through Freevee at Amazon. See the links below!

*CLICK HERE TO STREAM*




***********************



I hope you'll enjoy some of the movies featured here.

My personal picks from the Great American Family 9 movies available above are: A Lot Like Christmas, Fall into Winter, and Catering Christmas! In my opinion, those three movies are not to be missed in the GFAM film library, as all three are entertaining, wholesome, captivating, and most especially, heartwarming!

As for the Reel One Entertainment selections, I have seen all of these Christmas movies, as well, and my personal pick would have to be The Fabric of Christmas, as it is one with excellent chemistry between the leads - from friendship to love, and there is a more unique element to the story that truly touches the heart. However, if you are more in the mood for comedy, then I would suggest Coupled Up for Christmas. Mind you, there is the whole fake boyfriend/girlfriend trope, but it's still a cute movie, and Sara Canning and Marcus Rosner are such fun together!

Please note: I don't know how long these movies will be available to watch, so if something catches your eye, you may want to watch it soon, just in case they happen to disappear. Also, please know that random ads may appear during these streaming movies.

If you have any thoughts you'd like to share on any of these movies, please share in comments below.


Happy watching!

🎄🎅 Christmas Comes Early This Year!!! 🎅🎄 See Here:



Start baking those cookies for Santa now; 
we have an exciting treat!

We've been so good this year... 
Santa has decided to visit us early!


Christmas Movies will now begin on Great American Family on Friday, October 13th, 2023, with a premiere following on Saturday!

I've been eagerly waiting to share this news with you all for days now - as soon as Great American Family posted it on their website and TV!

It appears the Christmas movie launch may only be the weekend of October 13th through the 15th, with round-the-clock Christmas movies lasting throughout the Christmas season - beginning on Friday, October 20th.


The first three Christmas movie premieres on Great American Family are...

🎄Destined 2: Christmas Once More - October 14, 2023
(starring Shae Robins and Casey Elliott)

🎄'Twas the Text Before Christmas - October 21, 2023
(starring Merritt Patterson and Trevor Donovan)

🎄Bringing Christmas Home - October 28, 2023
(starring Jill Wagner and Paul Greene)


Danica McKellar's Christmas movie, which will premiere Thanksgiving Weekend, has been newly retitled: A Royal Date for Christmas.


There was also a promotion (at the bottom of the screen) on Great American Family for a movie (or series) titled, Journey to Christmas. I'm not sure if this is something new or a religious series (see here) from 2017 that has the same title. The text stated that Journey to Christmas would premiere on Saturday, October 29, but October 29th does not land on a Saturday this year, so we'll have to wait and see what the correct date is for this - when Great American Family releases more news. I'm wondering if they meant to say Sunday, and perhaps they will air some religious Christmas movies from Great American Pure Flix on those nights? That is only my guess. We'll have to see what they announce soon!

UPDATE: The premiere date for Journey to Christmas has been updated to Sunday, October 29th, and is now included in the 20 New Christmas movies premiering this year on Great American Family. See the movies listed in the image below...


Stay tuned for more movie updates! And be sure to add lots of icing and sprinkles to your Christmas cookies for Santa!

Visit the *It's a Wonderful Movie* Christmas TV Schedule for all of the new movie premieres + the Christmas Movie List, which is a listing of all of the new Christmas movies by network.


May your day be Merry & Bright!

Join the
🌟Countdown to Christmas🌟
Celebration!

As we mark 7 months 'til Christmas on May 25th with Memorial Day coming up this weekend, I thought it would be a nice time to pay tribute to the many Christmas-themed patriotic movies that have aired on Hallmark throughout the years.

So, for this Christmas Movie Challenge on the 25th-

Please share your Christmas Movie answers in the comment section below. I'm going to give everyone the Memorial Day weekend (until noon, Tuesday, May 30th) to respond before I submit the comments and correct answers. So, please know you won't see your Christmas movie answers show up in the comments below until next Tuesday.

If you'd like to share a Christmas movie you plan to watch on the 25th to celebrate 7 Months 'til Christmas, or if you'd like to comment on anything else besides the game, then please share your thoughts in a separate comment from your answers, so I can go ahead and post those remarks.

My personal Christmas movie pick to mark the 25th is "USS Christmas," starring Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan! Abigail (a dear friend and follower here) mentioned she might watch this movie last month, and since she shared that, I've been wanting to rewatch it again myself. Since this film has such a strong military theme, I think this will a great time to finally rewatch this patriotic Christmas movie just before Memorial Day. Plus, it doesn't hurt that it has two of my favorite stars!

If you're also curious about Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan's upcoming NEW 2023 Christmas movies for Great American Family, you can see details here & here!

Where are You CHRISTMAS? 🎄



During these days after Christmas I've been hearing those first three lines from that sweet song from 'Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas' playing over and over in my mind...

Where are you Christmas
Why can't I find you
Why have you gone away…

It's a bit harder to find Christmas after Christmas on TV, but you know I'm always searching for it!



This week, as we head into the New Year, we can continue to find Christmas 24/7 on the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and nightly on GAC Family, plus, all day this coming weekend! I've included some of the prime-time highlights for Hallmark in my Christmas TV Schedule, along with GAC Family's complete Christmas movie lineup for this week!

In the New Year, 2022 - we will find Christmas movies Thursday night on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Friday night on the Hallmark Channel, and something exciting and new... Christmas movies will air Saturday night throughout the year on GAC Family!

Even though Christmas day has passed, the song Where are You Christmas ends with a hopeful message...


Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh

If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time

Oh, I feel you Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away, oh
The joy of Christmas
Stays here inside us
Fills each and every heart with love

Here is that beautiful song sung by the little girl who portrays Cindy Lou in 'Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas'...



When Christmas day is over, we must hold on to the spirit even tighter. I am reminded by that special quote by Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol, "I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year."

Let's keep the true joy of Christmas, the birth of Jesus!, in our hearts every day!

Be sure to check the Christmas TV Schedule for special Christmas movies airing this week and beyond.


Joyous Christmas Blessings to You All
and Happy New Year! Net
