My Quick Take: 🎄❤️
I'm super excited about the 2026 Christmas movie season on Great American Family! I'm already looking forward to watching so much!
It's honestly VERY hard to narrow down my must-see list because there are so MANY great choices! But if I had to pick just a few, my top three must-see movies are:
🎄 A Christmas Prayer Tradition - I loved the faith in the first movie, so I'm especially excited for this sequel!
🎄 Silver Bells at Christmas - I can't wait to hear Laura Osnes and country singer Chuck Wicks sing together!
🎄 Three Generations, One Christmas - I'm looking forward to all the singing and dancing with Mario Lopez, his son Dominic, his wife Courtney, and of course, Tony Danza - who will likely show them all "Who's the Boss"! (Am I right?)
And that's just the beginning! I'm also REALLY excited to see Candace Cameron Bure, Danica McKellar, Cameron Mathison, and Ryan Paevey each starring in two brand-new Christmas movies this holiday season! There are so many good choices - what an incredible lineup! Plus, Cindy Busby, Sam Page, Jill Wagner, Jesse Hutch, and Trevor Donovan are back, too! Love these actors! I told you it was hard to choose! I'm definitely watching ALL of these movies!

Joyous Christmas Blessings
