🎄🐾❤️ Trevor Donovan and Stephanie Bennett Star in 'A Christmas Rescue'

 ( A Christmas Rescue: Stephanie Bennett, Niffy the dog,
and Trevor Donovan. Great American Media 2026 (Shane Mahood) )

It's official! Trevor Donovan and Stephanie Bennett are filming A Christmas Rescue for Great American Family, along with a very special rescue dog named Niffy!

The new Christmas movie will premiere Thanksgiving weekend on Great American Family and GFAM+ on November 28, 2026.

People announced the news today, giving a little more insight into this story...

In A Christmas Rescue, Niffy plays Shep, the beloved dog of Emma Ross, played by Stephanie Bennett. Emma is working to make her town's annual Christmas Cares celebration its most successful event yet.

Trevor Donovan portrays Dr. Matthew McGuire, a traveling veterinarian. When he arrives in town, he suggests adding a pet adoption component to the Christmas celebration. As Emma, Matthew and Shep work together to help animals in need find loving homes, a little Christmas magic begins to happen, including a sweet romance between Emma and Matthew.

So, yes, there is a Christmas romance at the heart of the story, but I really like that pet adoption and giving animals a second chance are such an important part of the movie, too.

Trevor Donovan, who is a longtime animal lover and supporter of pet adoption, also shared why Niffy's story and the movie are so meaningful to him. As he put it, giving a shelter animal a home, patience and love can change their world and they often end up changing ours right back.

A Christmas Rescue premieres on Great American Pure Flix on November 26th, followed by its Great American Family and GFAM+ premiere on November 28th.

This one certainly sounds like it has plenty of heart, and I have a feeling Niffy is going to be one of the most adorable stars of the Christmas season!

Have a Merry Day!

The mischievous hound warms her heart, and after spending time with the local vet (Jake Sandvig), she begins to find that maybe the true love she dared not believe in is actually closer than she thinks.

*Please Note: This in not a Christmas movie. The main character, Finn, struggles with PTSD after returning home from his military service. Due to this sensitive storyline, this film may not be suitable for young children.

I hope this movie will be helpful to those who have served our country and also deal with Post Traumatic Stress. I personally don't consider it to be a disorder. It is that person's feelings, and I pray with love and help from family, friends, or a furry friend, they will overcome it.

God bless our Military. As a daughter of a veteran, I am grateful for those who have served and those who serve today. Please know, although I do not know your name, YOU are always in my prayers.

Blessings to you all, Net
