More Hallmark Movie News- including Christmas!

Pictured above, from the set of "Wedding at Graceland," is Eric Close ("Christmas in the Air), director of the Graceland films, Priscilla Presley, who was married to Elvis, and will have a cameo role in the new Graceland movie, and Kellie Pickler and Wes Brown, who are reprising their roles from the previous film.

CommercialAppeal.com unveiled in an article - that two members from the Graceland crew, production coordinator, Trey Fox, and Julie Lighty, production supervisor - were married on the Graceland set, after filming took place for the fictional wedding of Laurel (Kellie Pickler) and Clay (Wes Brown) in "Wedding at Graceland." Of course, "Wedding at Graceland" is a sequel to the well known, "Christmas at Graceland," which premiered during the 2018 Christmas Season and held the highest ratings of ALL Hallmark movies for the year!

It was also revealed that the bride and groom previously worked together this year on the set of another new Hallmark Christmas movie, "Where Angels Land."

UPDATE: I've learned from a friend - "When Angels Land" was the original working title for "The Christmas Song" starring Scott Wolf and Kristin Chenoweth.

The article also disclosed an important detail on the upcoming Christmas at Graceland II movie. According to
CommercialAppeal.com... the new Graceland movie coming this Christmas is "not another sequel, but a new romance with new characters." Isn't that interesting - I can't help but wonder which musical talents will visit Graceland this year for Christmas!

As for this Friday night's Hallmark Christmas movie... Please be sure to Note: the Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel have also been moved an hour later - just like the new movie premieres! If you are used to seeing them begin at 8, they will now start at 9. And, for those of you in the central time zone, who used to watch at 7, the time will now be 8!

Both Christmas films airing this week, "Return to Christmas Creek" and "Reunited at Christmas," have the same warm feeling of coming home, returning to the ones we love, and reuniting, not only with family, but with precious memories from the past!

I'll be Marking the 25th with "Return to Christmas Creek" on April 25th & "Reunited at Christmas" on April 26th! We are now 8 months until Christmas day! Do you plan to watch these movies to Mark the 25th or will you be watching something else? Please share in comments below!

Wishing You All the Joy of Christmas!
Merry "Mark the 25th" Day, Everyone!

TWO NEW HALLMARK MOVIES & MYSTERIES CHRISTMAS MOVIES OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED - House on Honeysuckle Lane & Return to Christmas Creek! ‏

image: Hallmark Crown Media

It's official! Entertainment Tonight has announced TWO NEW Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Christmas Movies for the 2018 Holiday Season!

The first movie revealed was "House on Honeysuckle Lane," a project for Alicia Witt (The Mistletoe Inn, Christmas List)! (I always personally find Alicia's movies a joy to watch, as she is rather quirky & fun and full of energy, spunk, & personality!)

This movie is based on the book, House on Honeysuckle Lane by actress and writer, Mary Elizabeth McDonough. (That's Erin from the beloved television family series, The Waltons!)

Here's a description of the story, via ET: "In House on Honeysuckle Lane, Emma (Witt) returns home to celebrate Christmas for the last time with her siblings in the house they grew up in. After their parents' recent passing, the siblings reluctantly agree to sell the family home on Honeysuckle Lane, leaving Emma in charge of their belongings. While Emma’s mother’s collection is being appraised, they find a hidden surprise that takes them on a journey to discover the power of love and family during the holidays."

The House on Honeysuckle Lane

by Mary McDonough

The second Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Christmas movie ET revealed was... "Return to Christmas Creek," starring Tori Anderson, Steven Weber, Kari Matchett and Stephen Huszar.

Here's a description of the story, via ET: "After being rejected and told that the new idea for her holiday app lacked the spirit of Christmas, young dot com CEO Amelia (Anderson) decides to return home to her Family Inn she grew up at in Christmas Creek. She is just in time for the anniversary of the Fly By Santa event that her family arranges. Her uncle (Weber) is a charter pilot who flies over the town dressed as Santa each Christmas Eve to deliver presents to under-served children in neighboring communities. Amelia was his co-pilot until her family moved away after her father and uncle had a quarrel that split the family apart. Years later, Amelia agrees to revisit the Family Inn where she heals old wounds and reconnects with the family, life and love she left behind in this festive holiday town."


These both sound like two wonderful films to add to our increasing Christmas movie lists! It's wonderful to finally see these are both official and share these details with all of you!

Alicia's movie "House on Honeysuckle Lane" sounds deeper and more emotional than the movies we are used to seeing from her. If the storyline above is any indication, tissues may be required for this one!

I love that Steven Weber (from the TV series "Wings") is playing a charter pilot in his Christmas movie, "Return to Christmas Creek." That is so apropos and suitable for him since he also portrayed a pilot on his popular 90's sitcom!

So much to look forward to!

Blessings on your day, Net
