You're Invited -- A Royal Wedding, A Trip to Italy, New Mystery in Blue Ridge, & More

 ( click here to enlarge image ) 

Happy first weekend of August, friends!🌻

If you haven't heard the news, Christmas in July isn't quite over for Great American Family and Great American Faith & Living, who are extending the Christmas movie fun for one more weekend!

But if you’re ready for a little change of scenery, there are also some fun non-holiday rom-coms premiering this weekend on both Great American Family and the Hallmark Channel. And I have to say, both movies sound like the perfect little summer escape!

On the Hallmark Channel, Toast to Italy takes us all the way to the lovely setting of Italy, where Jenny travels to find something special for her sister’s wedding and crosses paths with Arrigo.

Over on Great American Family, A Prince in Paradise: A Royal Wedding brings us back to a familiar royal romance with the third movie in this delightful trilogy. Prince Alexander is ready to marry Olivia, but an old law threatens to stand in the way of their happily-ever-after.

And then Sunday night brings us another thrilling mystery on INSP with Blue Ridge: The Series! This week’s all-new episode takes us into the woods when a kidnapping puts our favorite characters right in the middle of another dangerous case.

So, whether you’re still soaking up the Christmas movies, ready for a trip to Italy, in the mood for a little Royal romance, or looking for some suspense, there’s plenty to watch this weekend!

I hope you all have a great weekend, whether you're watching one of the new premieres or a Christmas classic!

As always, I'd love to hear which movies you'll be watching and which one you're most excited to see. And if you'd like to share a movie review, we'd love to hear from you.

I was planning to watch A Prince in Paradise: A Royal Wedding early, but it just didn't work out with my schedule this week. So I'm hoping that, since we are having a rainy weekend, I'll get the chance to stay in and watch. I heard from a friend who did watch it early on PureFlix, and she loved it! So, hopefully, we'll all enjoy it, too!

Have a Wonderful Weekend!

SHINING HIS LIGHT

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”

~Colossians 3:12-15

🎄The Final *Christmas in July* Weekend Is Here! Plus, New Mystery - Get The Scoop:

Happy Weekend, Friends!

This weekend is extra special because it's the final weekend of Christmas in July - plus Saturday, July 25th, marks just five months until Christmas! That means we're officially getting even closer to the most wonderful time of the year, and what better way to celebrate than by cozying up with some of our festive favorites on Great American Family and the Hallmark Channel?

The Hallmark Channel also has the cable premiere of Love Under the Mistletoe, starring Jen Lilley and Nick Bateman, airing Saturday night! I've seen this movie and can tell you... it is lighthearted, family-friendly, and very sweet! Plus, during this premiere, be sure to look for a sneak peek of a new Countdown to Christmas movie... Christmas Delivered, starring Wes Brown and Autumn Reeser.

Then on Sunday evening, it's time for another episode of Blue Ridge. Episode 2 involves a mystery within the racing industry and features a guest appearance by Eric Close. I'm sure there will be plenty of suspense and plot twists.

And by the way, if you missed the first exciting episode of Blue Ridge season 2, which starred Sarah Drew, you can watch that for free on YouTube. (For those of you who love Sarah Drew in Mistletoe Murders, you'll definitely want to check that out.)

SHINING HIS LIGHT

I will listen to what God the Lord says;

he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants—

but let them not turn to folly.

Surely his salvation is near those who fear him,

that his glory may dwell in our land.

Love and faithfulness meet together;

righteousness and peace kiss each other.

Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,

and righteousness looks down from heaven.

❄️🎄 Beat the Heat with Christmas Movies + Blue Ridge Returns!

Hello, friends... Happy Weekend!☀️❤️

I hope you are all hanging in there and keeping as cool as possible during this heatwave sweeping across the country! Whew... it sure has been a hot one, hasn't it? And with the smoke to the north and flooding to the south, please be safe out there, everyone.

I keep thinking about all of those working outside in this heat - including my own family here on our farm - and I truly hope everyone is taking extra precautions and staying safe.

And then I think about all of the Christmas movies currently filming right now... I cannot imagine the cast and extras bundled up in winter coats in this intense heat! That has to be quite a challenge. Then, come Christmas, we'll watch those movies and imagine everyone is freezing cold... oh, the magic of movies! 🎄🎬

Honestly, this is the perfect weekend to stay inside, keep cool, and enjoy some classic Christmas movies! And let me tell you... there are so many good ones airing that I've been hitting record, record, record over and over again! I have a feeling you may be doing the same, so I've included the schedule below!

Plus, we have another new Christmas movie this weekend! We're now right in the middle of the new Christmas in July movies, and this new Hallmark movie is hopefully going to bring us all a slightly cooler feeling... Snowbound for the Holidays!❄️

And on Sunday night, the long-awaited return of Blue Ridge: The Series arrives with the first episode of Season 2 - and a special guest star you may recognize from Hallmark!

See who it is, along with more details about Sunday's episode and all of the Christmas movie fun below!

My Quick Take:

I hope you all will enjoy the new season of "Blue Ridge."

From high-stakes investigations to pulse-pounding action and heartfelt family moments, it looks like season 2 will continue to deliver excitement at every turn!

Note of caution: Due to intense crime-fighting drama and violence, this show (in my opinion) is not for young viewers.

In addition to the incredible lineup of guest stars mentioned in the press release above, also be sure to look for Jesse Hutch (“Crossroad Springs”), Melissa Ordway Gaston (“Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries”), Nick Gonzales (“Christmas on the Range”), and Annabeth Gish (“The Warrant”) in season 2!

Hope you enjoy the show!

INSP Greenlights

Sixth Season

of Acclaimed Series Drama

“Wild West Chronicles”

(Indian Land, SC – April 22, 2026) – Imagicomm Entertainment today announced that the critically acclaimed INSP TV network series Wild West Chronicles has been greenlit for a sixth season. Launched in 2020, the series continues its successful run as a cornerstone of INSP’s original programming slate. This sixth season, consisting of 6 (x :30) episodes, will bring the franchise to 65 total episodes.

Filming on Season Six is set to begin today, with new episodes continuing the series’ signature storytelling approach—following legendary gunslinger-turned-newspaperman Bat Masterson as he uncovers the incredible stories behind the West’s the most notorious characters and conflicts. The series, which stars Jack Elliott as Bat Masterson, has built a fiercely loyal and growing audience drawn to its authentic and immersive portrayal of Western history.

As with previous seasons, Season Six will mix stories of iconic Western figures such as Billy the Kid and Rose of Cimarron with lesser-known characters like Commodore Owens and Hoodoo Brown. This combination gives Western fans deeper understanding of the stories they already know and introduces them to new stories they may not have heard.

“Wild West Chronicles has become an integral part of our overall brand and programming strategy, consistently resonating with audiences who are drawn to authentic, character-driven storytelling,” said Craig Miller, VP of Original Programming at INSP. “As we move into Season Six, we’re continuing to build on that momentum by telling true stories of the American West that are much more engaging than a stodgy documentary.”

Alongside successful original series including Elkhorn and Blue Ridge, the renewal of Wild West Chronicles underscores INSP’s continued commitment to premium Western and Americana content. The network remains focused on delivering high-quality, themed programming that celebrates courage, resilience, and justice.

Stay tuned for additional casting, premiere timing, and distribution details as production progresses.
