Christmas in the Pines

Ariel, a young up-and-coming writer, has something special in mind for Christmas this year. Instead of focusing on shopping lists and retail gifts, she's determined to bring back the true meaning of the holiday, family. Just as she's about to fulfill her dream of buying an idyllic cottage for her family, Ariel discovers the mysterious owner accepted two identical offers. Her competition, handsome architect Mark, has no intention of letting the cottage go. With neither backing away from the sale, it's determined the first person to leave the property forfeits. As two strangers become unexpected roommates, they're both willing to do whatever it takes to win. They each call in their families to come and help drive the other person out, but it quickly becomes apparent to all that Ariel and Mark may have more in common than meets the eye. With Christmas Day fast approaching, they both discover that their cozy holiday getaway isn't the only thing that makes their heart skip a beat.




Christmas in the Rockies

After her father is hurt in a logging accident, Katie Jolly must pass up on her dream of joining a prestigious law firm in New York City to remain at home, in the Rockies, to help her father make a speedy recovery. However, when Katie discovers her father's business is in jeopardy and this will be the first Christmas without a Jolly family member competing in the Homewood Lumberjack Competition, she finds a way to solve both problems. To honor her family and win the prize money to save her father's company, she enlists her best friend and her grandfather to train her for the lumberjack competition. After meeting Harrison Brock, the EMT who saved her father's life, a romance sparks just in time for Christmas, and Katie discovers that her hometown roots and inner abilities may be stronger than she first believed.



Christmas in the Smokies

Clinging to the only life she's ever known, a headstrong woman (along with her loving parents) finds herself on the verge of losing her family's berry farm in the heart of the Smoky Mountains to an impending retail expansion. Over one eventful holiday season, she tries every avenue possible to save the farm. But, when the local town leaders notify her that they will have to seize the property after the holidays, her last hope to unite the town and throw a Christmas concert on the farm headlined by her former love, a ne'er Smoky do well country music superstar. As the day of the concert approaches, they all must learn the value of family, faith and community before time runs out.




Christmas in the Wilds

New couple Buck and Jessica are weeks away from their first Christmas together in the rugged Rocky Mountains when an avalanche hits. Duty calls for Buck, a forest ranger, but before he heads deep into the wilderness, they promise that nothing will get in the way of their holiday plans. As Christmas approaches, a terrible blizzard ruins any chance of Buck getting his plane in the air and back to Jessica. Determined to stay true to their word, they each decide to head out into the snow-capped forest by land to meet at a cozy little cabin. But their journeys through the untamed woods quickly turn into a battle for survival. Along each step of the way, unexpected obstacles emerge, and new dangers unfold as the wild takes them on a thrilling ride that tests their limits and the lengths they will go for their love.




Christmas in Wolf Creek

With just days until Christmas, Sam has her hands full. Between managing her animal refuge center and directing the town's annual play, she has little time for her new boyfriend, Austin. With their relationship up in the air, Austin faces a tough decision: Move to Wolf Creek for Sam and lose his job-or stay in his hometown and lose the girl he loves. But when Cupid-the reindeer and star of the show-goes missing, Sam and Austin set out to find him. Now, with the fate of the play and their relationship hanging in the balance, they must work together if they want to save Christmas for the entire town and each other.




Christmas on the Coast

Hard-hearted New York novelist Dru Cassadine...known for her romance stories (even though she is anti-love and anti-Christmas)...is desperate to get her mojo back after a string of flops (and a not-so-subtle threat by her publisher that he'll drop her if she has another failure). She decides that a change of scenery might get her creative juices flowing and heads south for the winter, landing in a place known as Harbor Pointe, SC. She doesn't quite get what she came for. She gets much more.



Christmas on the Range

In this timeless holiday classic, Kendall Riley is desperately trying to keep her small ranch afloat against a larger ranch who wants her land. Using an organic style of farming, Kendall has risked it all to save her father's ranch. As Christmas approaches, a competitor scatters her herd sabotaging her chances for success. Facing certain ruin she receives help from an unlikely person... the rival's son.

πŸŽ„πŸ’‘Light Up December with New Christmas Movie Premieres!πŸ’‘πŸŽ„




*Happy 25 Days of Christmas* to ALL of my Christmas movie friends! December is finally here!

Thursday, December 1, 2022:


Details via NBC: A modern-day movie musical about the making of a network TV special, "Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas" is the frenetic backstage story and delightful on-camera results of Dolly's desire to uplift an exhausted world's spirits by sharing the unique "mountain magic" she has always found in and around Dollywood at Christmas. Throughout the movie's production numbers and rehearsal chaos, Dolly finds herself taking a private journey into her past, guided by the mysterious appearances of her personal Three Wise Men. When it's time for her big special to air live, a renewed and inspired Dolly goes rogue and shows the world that the real magic of Christmas lies in the hearts of the children we all once were, the realization that Christmas is about the people we share it with and how her faith remains the common thread between Christmases past, present and future.

But every year, her too-sophisticated and unique holiday dishes never sell because they are not considered festive enough. To shake things up this year, her best friend and co-owner buys her a ticket to a holiday cooking getaway in a beautiful villa where Scarlett will re-learn festive cooking from the bottom up, maybe find love with a handsome rival chef from her past (Zach Roerig), and regain the Christmas spirit her food—and her life—truly needs.

Movie Reviews:

πŸŽ„"I watched Christmas In The Wilds and enjoyed it. Everything about this movie was good except for a couple of things. Getting stuck in snow in a vehicle with snow tires or chains made no sense to me. Also, how could the guy not see through the manipulation of his co-worker? Both of the main actors are great together. Loved seeing all the same actors continue from Romance In The Wilds. The scenery is breath-taking! Real snow everywhere! Can not say enough about how Christmasy this is. Music is beautiful. Happy I have the DVD. Hope I did not say too much to ruin it for others.You will not be disappointed." ~kitkat

πŸŽ„"This is a sequel movie to the INSP film, Romance in the Wilds. I watched through Fox Nation, with a free streaming trial. Christmas in the Wilds is very similar to the first movie, but it has the wonderful addition of Christmas and some extra moments with Buck Thompson’s family added in, who are seen even more in this movie than the first. There’s a lot of action-adventure when Buck and his former partner/ex-girlfriend end up in the snowy forest with a blizzard on the way. Even though the weather outside is frightful, Jessica is determined to reach her boyfriend, Buck, spend Christmas together and return him to his family – before the Christmas eve service where they will honor the memory of Buck’s father. If outdoor survival is fascinating to you, then you will really enjoy this movie. Christmas in the Wilds is action-packed throughout, with some heartwarming moments, too. I especially enjoyed the scenes with Buck’s sister (played by Laura Vandervoot, “A Christmas Together With You”), who was dog-sitting for Jessica. She said she was more of a cat-person, so it was sweet to see her warm up to the dog and later on, open up and share her feelings. Overall, it was a nice movie to watch; it shows great respect to those who serve in the military, how to cope with PTSD, and best of all, it is family-friendly." ~Net

Bridget’s plans to shine are foiled when a talk show host from her network arrives to join her for the broadcast. Drake Kincaid (Brandon Quinn), as it turns out, refused to hire Bridget as his co-host for their morning show a year earlier, making tensions high. The unlikely duo soon finds themselves falling for each other, but when Bridget finally discovers why Drake didn’t hire her, their romance is put to the test.

2 Months until Christmas, Plus News on 2 Christmas Movies!



For those of us who've been wondering about the movie, CHRISTMAS IN THE WILDS, the sequel to the movie, Romance in the Wilds, that recently premiered on UPtv... news has been revealed through wrap.com.

Wrap is reporting: "Fox Nation, one of Fox News Media’s three streamers, is celebrating an “All-American Christmas” this year with the release of two new Christmas Movies. “Christmas in the Wilds” and “Christmas in the Pines” will both be available exclusively on the platform beginning on Thanksgiving, which falls Nov. 25."

If you are interested in signing up for FOX NATION, you can currently get 35% off with the promo code: "Celebration."

I know this news is kind of a bummer for those of us who were hoping UPtv would get the "Romance in the Wilds" sequel. However, in addition to the streaming option, both movies are also available on DVD.
