Don't Miss "Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries" Thrilling Season One Finale Tonight - Details Here:

What a wonderful first season it has been for "Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries," and tonight is the big season finale at 9pm/8c on UPtv!

We've enjoyed a delightful mix of suspenseful, yet lighthearted, family-friendly mysteries set in the charming Amish community of Sugarcreek, Ohio. (Thankfully, none involving murder!)

Throughout the season, we've come to know and love Cheryl (played by Galadriel Stineman), who has been managing her Aunt Mitzi's gift shop while her aunt is away serving on the mission field.

As Cheryl has settled into life in Sugarcreek, she's earned a reputation for helping others and solving mysteries alongside her friend, Naomi Miller (Denise Gossett), a local Amish woman.

Along the way, Cheryl has also developed a special connection with Naomi's son, Levi (Kevin Joy). Their growing friendship and attraction is challenging, though, since Levi is Amish and Cheryl is not.

One of the things I've especially appreciated about Cheryl is how important her Christian faith is to her. She attends church, seeks God's guidance, and genuinely desires to follow His plan for her life. But where is God leading her? Is Sugarcreek where she truly belongs?

That question may be answered in the season finale!

Episode details via UPtv:

Season 1, Episode 8 -

WHEN THERE'S A WILL - A missing deed, county corruption, and a race against time threaten Levi’s land and future.

FINALE THOUGHTS:

Can Cheryl help Levi and his family track down his uncle's missing will before the family land is sold to someone else?

No spoilers here, but I have to say this was such a fun and exciting mystery to unravel! The clues, twists, and race against time made for an engaging puzzle, while Cheryl's ongoing car troubles added some great humor and lighthearted moments along the way.

And then there's Cheryl and Levi. It's clear these two care deeply about each other, but what does the future hold for them?

The cast is already filming Season 2 on location in Sugarcreek, Ohio... so there are likely more mysteries... and hopefully, more Cheryl and Levi moments ahead, too!

Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries - My Review of the Birthday Episode...

Just wanted to share a quick review of the newest episode of Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries, airing tonight on UPtv at 9pm/8c.

Episode 5 is titled "Simply Vanished." In this episode, a hidden chute at the gift shop leads Cheryl to a decades-old disappearance — and a birthday she’ll never forget.

The mystery itself is quite intriguing, involving the discovery of lost items connected to events from around 40 years ago. But honestly, what I loved most about this episode was finally getting to meet Cheryl Cooper’s family, her parents and brother, as they come to Sugarcreek to celebrate her birthday.

As Cheryl’s birthday dinner unfolds at the Miller family home, the Cooper family, who are Christian, share a deeply meaningful discussion of faith with the Miller family, who are Amish. There’s even a beautiful conversation centered around accepting Christ as one’s Savior that I found especially touching and inspiring. The family scenes throughout this episode are truly warm and memorable.

If you’ve been enjoying this series, this is definitely one episode you won’t want to miss!

And Cheryl’s birthday gift from the Millers is incredibly sweet and thoughtful. It’s becoming more and more clear that Cheryl and Levi share a very special bond and those around them are beginning to notice it more and more, too.

Happy watching!

"Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries" - My Review of Episode 3 - airing on UPtv

Hey, friends... I had the opportunity to watch an early screener of the third episode of "Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries" titled "O Little Town of Sugarcreek," and I just had to share that this episode was my favorite one yet!

No spoilers, I promise, but here are a few (or more!) of my favorite details...

⚫ First, these mysteries (so far) are simple mysteries within the town of Sugarcreek that do not involve murder. This episode is about missing jewelry.

⚫ While we've seen Cheryl Cooper's adorable cat, Beau, before, he makes more of an appearance in this episode.

⚫ This series is definitely giving me vibes of the Hallmark series, Mistletoe Murders - the lead women in both series have red hair, and they both own a small store within a quaint town that sells small gifts, knick-knacks, home decor, etc. Both women have cats and employ a teenage girl related to their supposed love interest, and their love interests often help to solve mysteries.

⚫ In this episode of "Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries," there's a bit of a romantic love triangle when Cheryl's ex, Lance, makes a surprise visit!

⚫ And best of all, for this episode, which you might be able to tell from the title, "O Little Town of Sugarcreek," is centered around the Christmas season! It's interesting to see how this quaint Amish town celebrates the holiday; it's even mentioned that their main focus is to celebrate the birth of their Lord!

Storyline via UPtv: Christmas thefts and a returned ex force Cheryl to protect an innocent friend and her heart.

Here's a little sneak-peek:
