My Quick Take:
I must first say, I am big fan of Carlos and Alexa PenaVega! Not only do I love their movies together, but I also love their commitment to God, their love story and their precious family. They are a perfect fit, I feel, for Great American Family.
Carlos and Alexa's first movie premiere on Great American Family, Mr. Manhattan, has received wonderful feedback from viewers, so I know many, including myself, are excited to see their first Christmas movie collaboration for the network.
Plus, the theme of this Christmas movie with the Salvation Army and giving to others sounds hopeful and inspirational!

That's a wrap!
