TV Reminder: The 32nd Annual Movieguide Awards Airs TONIGHT - See When and Where to Watch:

Just wanted to share a quick reminder that the Movieguide Awards Air TONIGHT at 8pm/7c. on Great American Family.

Be sure to tune in and look for all of your favorite stars from Great American Family: Cameron Mathison, Candace Cameron Bure, Jesse Hutch, Cindy Busby, Mario and Courtney Lopez, Jen Lilley, Jillian Murray, Dean Geyer, Julia Riley, Riley Hough, and Kristin Wollett!

Plus, Mario Lopez (Access Hollywood host, Saved by the Bell, Once Upon a Christmas Wish) is this year's host for the event.

It's a bit disappointing that the program is just one hour long, which means some editing will be necessary. However, I'm still optimistic that we'll get to see all the stars we love on Great American Family and others, as well!

Happy watching tonight!

Weekend Thoughts...

I'm sooo looking forward to relaxing with many of the Great American Family CHRISTMAS movies this weekend, especially the new premiere, Christmas Wreaths & Ribbons! And I'll be decorating my Christmas tree as I watch! I love when the Christmas lights are the only lights in the room; there's nothing quite like that warm feeling!

Also, I've enjoyed the previous Curious Caterer Mysteries, so I'm looking forward to catching this new premiere sometime soon. Hopefully, this new mystery will be just as good as the prior ones!

*Note #1: The Hallmark Channel is also premiering their last Fall Into Love movie Saturday night, Haunted Wedding, but since the story centers around a ghost and paranormal activity, I've decided not to promote this film.

*Note #2: I haven't seen the new movies airing this weeekend; if you'd like to leave a review, please share in comments below.

*Note #3: For those of you wondering about the Christmas Movie Review Page for 2024, I will have that up next week... so stay tuned!

I hope you all enjoy watching the Christmas movies on Great American Family, too. They are also showing many wonderful promos for their upcoming movies (A Little Women's Christmas, I Heard the Bells, Christmas Wreaths and Ribbons, A Vintage Christmas, A Christmas Less Traveled, Candace Cameron Bure and Mario Lopez promoting Great American Christmas, a lovely promo for Great American Pure Flix, and more!)... so even the commercial breaks are enjoyable, too!

Have a Blessed Weekend, Everyone!

Christmas Blessings to You All,

Press Release:

GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY 

ANNOUNCES ORIGINAL
WORLD PREMIERE MOVIE,

AND CASEY ELLIOTT

PART OF GREAT AMERICAN CHRISTMAS 2024

NEW YORK, NY – August 8, 2024 — Great American Family, a leader in the production of high-quality, Original Christmas movies, announced production has wrapped on A Wreathmaker Christmas, a World Premiere Original Movie, starring Kristin Wollett (“County Rescue”) and Casey Elliott (Destined At Christmas, Destined 2: Christmas Once More), which premieres during GREAT AMERICAN CHRISTMAS 2024. Kristin Wollett, co-star of the popular new series, “County Rescue,” is also the author of novel The Reel Thing which publishes Fall 2025.

In A Wreathmaker Christmas, Rebecca (Wollett), a wreathmaker rushing to get her holiday orders finished in time for Christmas, slips on icy steps, injuring her arm. Rebecca’s next-door neighbor, Jason (Elliott), takes her to the hospital and as days go by, Jason begins to sacrifice time at his family’s bakery to help Rebecca with her wreathmaking. This creates questions within his family that Rebecca may be taking advantage of Jason’s kindness and potentially at the expense of the bakery’s busiest time of year. When Rebecca overhears the conversation, she retreats and refuses Jason’s offers of help only to discover she misses his presence, his friendship…or is it something more?
