Christmas Under Construction

Storyline: Chelsea (Lowndes) and Jake (Adam Hurtig, A Suite Holiday Romance) are America’s sweethearts and the stars of a hit reality show, Renovation Romance, where they help couples transform their homes and relationships. For a live Christmas special, they’re tasked with renovating a cozy New Hampshire cabin alongside a new duo, Cooper (Lissing) and Janice (Samantha Kendrick, The Snow Must Go On). But behind the festive cheer, Chelsea and Jake’s relationship is fading. As their latest project progresses, it becomes clear to Chelsea that she and Jake have different priorities in life and must decide if their relationship can be salvaged or if it’s time for a fresh start.

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.

🎉 HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019! 🎉 (and if YOU are still Searching for CHRISTMAS - You've come to the Right Place!)

I pray you all have a Blessed, Healthy, and Happy New Year! 2019 is full of infinite possibilities!

As for New Years Eve... I'll be ringing in the New Year with my family. We always have a simple party at home, play games, watch Hallmark Christmas movies throughout the day... and then, at midnight... we watch the ball drop in New York on TV, and we all shout "Happy New Year!" Then, it's hugs & kisses all around, and we pray for the new year ahead together.

Do you celebrate, too, and watch any of the New Years celebrations?

Also, if you are still loving the Christmas movies on TV... then be sure to get your fill from the Hallmark Channel & Hallmark Movies & Mysteries soon! Christmas movies will last on the Hallmark Channel until early January 2nd and on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries until early January 7th! See my Christmas TV Schedule for all the Christmas movies still airing, plus the annual Rose Parade on News Years Day!

If you were able to watch lots of the NEW Christmas movies during the holiday season, that's wonderful! However, I know due to the high volume of new arrivals, many of us were not able to catch as many as we like. So, if that's you, too, then I know we will be enjoying even more Christmas movies - as we begin 2019!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year... may be soon coming to an end, but we can feel in our hearts the true JOY of Christmas, the Love of Jesus, every day of the New Year!

Joyous Blessings to You All!

Happy New Year
to all of my

*It's a Wonderful Movie*
friends and family!
