There are plenty of Christmas movie choices this weekend to get you into the Holiday Spirit! It may be hard to choose which ones to watch and which ones to record to watch later. (I already have a bunch of the latter and we are only a quarter (almost) of our way in to the season!)
I'll share what I'm looking forward to seeing at the bottom of this post and please be sure to share your movie picks in comments!

In "Christmas Time Is Here," Nia Moore (Bernard), a successful small-town realtor, has her heart set on closing a big sale on a new resort for her client, Julian Parsons (Williams), just in time for Christmas. There is only one hitch. No matter how many properties in Pine Valley Nia shows Julian, he keeps coming back to the one resort that isn't for sale…the one belonging to Nia's widower dad, Patrick (Pickett). Patrick would like to sell the property and retire. It's Nia who cannot let go of memories of an idyllic time in life when her mom was still alive and very much a part of the resort. Julian realizes Nia's reluctance to sell the property, but it may not matter. Julian's impatient boss has come to Pine Valley intent on getting the deal done before Christmas. At risk of losing his job, Julian comes up with a magical plan for saving Nia's family's resort.

Whew! That's a lot of Christmas movies premiering this Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
This weekend I'm looking forward to seeing:
(I'm only picking 3 this time!)
1.) Open by Christmas - Hallmark Channel
Since the story centers around an unopened Christmas card, I can't help from getting that "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" lost letter feeling! Plus, I love both Alison Sweeney ("Hannah Swensen Mysteries") and Brennan Elliott ("Crossword Mysteries"), so I'm hoping this is a good one!
2.) Christmas Time is Here - GAC Family
It's interesting that this movie stars Rukiya Bernard and Dewshane Williams, from the "One Winter Weekend / Proposal / Wedding" movies! It almost feels like a continuation of those movies. In the last movie, Cara and Ben's wedding, Dewshane was only shown remotely via computers and IPads, so it should be fun to actually see Rukiya and Dewshane together - again!
3.) Snowed in for Christmas - UPtv
I've seen the trailer for this and it looks like a lighthearted, fun Christmas movie with Kayla Wallace ("When Calls the Heart") and Jeremy Guilbaut ("Christmas Waltz")! Sometimes, it's nice to step away from the heavy dramas and just enjoy something cheerful and upbeat.
I'm hoping these three Christmas movies will be enjoyable this weekend. Which movies are you looking forward to seeing? Please share in comments below.
*Please note- I have NOT pre-screened these NEW Christmas movies listed above. If you happen to watch one of the new Christmas movies this week and want to share whether or not it is a family friendly movie, please stop back by and leave a comment. I know everyone here would be grateful to know any information you are willing to share.
See the 2021 Christmas Movie Review page - *here*!

I pray you all have a joyous, wonderful weekend!
God bless us, everyone! Net
