🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

🎄💕 Happy 8 Months 'til Christmas Day! 💕🎄

If you'd like to Mark the 25th day of the month and Countdown to Christmas with us, simply pick something Christmassy to watch TODAY - on the 25th! It can be a Christmas movie, cartoon, sitcom or anything you like. (There's only one stipulation - it must be family friendly.) Then, please share in comments below your Christmas choice for the day!

My *Mark the 25th* pick is...

In honor of Candace Cameron Bure recently signing a deal with GAC Family, my pick to *Mark the 25th* is one of Candace's Christmas movies... Switched for Christmas. I specifically chose this movie since Candace's daughter, Natasha, is also in it with her; it's interesting to watch Candace portray both a career woman and a mother.

If you don't have time to watch something Christmassy today, please share a Christmas movie in comments below that always makes you laugh or simply makes you feel good inside.

Blessings, Net

There's certainly plenty to see on TV this weekend. Our weather here in the Midwest has been even more frigid, in the single digits and teens, so there aren't too many activities for us outdoors. Instead, I'll be staying in, keeping warm and catching up on a little of my movie watching.

In addition to the new movies, you might also want to check out the "Aurora Teagarden Mystery" marathon on Saturday and the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie marathon on Sunday - both on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. I just love the "Aurora" mysteries and I highly recommend the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" series, with their uplifting, faith-filled, inspiring stories! Each one, in my opinion, is a masterpiece!

Also, if you are missing the Christmas movies, be sure to check out the Christmas TV Schedule; I'm going to continue to report the family-friendly Christmas movies airing throughout the year there. I may also do some reminder posts, from time to time.

As for the new premieres, I can't wait to see "The Winter Palace" on GAC Family! All of the promos have drawn me in... I can't wait to see Danica and Neal together again! Plus, I'm curious about "The Wedding Veil," too! I sure hope it's good! And the new UPtv movie, Love's Second Chance, looks great, as well... gotta make some more room on the DVR!

Please Note: I have not pre-screened the new movies. If you happen to watch one or more and would like to share a review, please do so in comments below.

Blessings on your weekend! Net

Movies Reviews:

❄ "The Winter Palace is: Awesome!! A perfect 10!! I highly recommend it to anyone!" -Maria

❄ "I am happy to say that the Winter Palace film was 100% family friendly clean. It really was a sweet film and Danica was great and fun as usual. Loved the scene when the prince made his first cooked meal and served it to the staff. Made me laugh. I hope you all get to enjoy it. God bless❤" ~Abigail

❄ "THE WINTER PALACE (GAC) Family friendly. Royal movies are not really my favorite, but sometimes there are a few that I enjoy. This will be an unpopular opinion for sure, but unfortunately, this one was just alright. I felt this movie was a little too pretentious. I just couldn't get past the royal-ish attitude ("the schedule"). The two leads lacked chemistry to be honest. I do love Danica and think she was great in this, but I personally didn't feel that she was a good pair with Neal Bledsoe." ~CH Mom

❄ "Happy New Year New Movies! I absolutely loved The Winter Palace. I do not have GAC but some of their movies are on Prime, and I was thrilled that this one was. I loved the plot, the characters, and Danica and Neal together again were even better than the first time. Also important, family friendly!" ~Savvy Girl

❄ "It was fun to see Danica and Neal together again in "The Winter Palace!" Loved them in their Hallmark Christmas movie, "Coming Home for Christmas." This movie is very sweet, as well. I liked how Danica’s character, Emily, a struggling writer, accidentally meets the prince at his Winter Palace... and the two gradually begin to fall in love. But since she’s not royalty, it’s not meant to be. Can true love find a way? There is, of course, a happy ending to this family friendly story. It was such an enjoyable watch!" ~Net

My Quick Take:

I'm so delighted that GAC Family is continuing the tradition of creating winter-themed movies in January. Hopefully, this will be the first of many for this new network.

It's also nice to see Danica McKellar and Neal Bledsoe working together again; I personally thought they were wonderful together in Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas movie, Coming Home for Christmas, from 2017! They had terrific chemistry then, and from all the promotions I've seen for The Winter Palace, it looks like they will have the same connection here.

If you'd like to share a review after this movie premieres, please do so in comments below and I'll be sure to add it to this post.

Blessings to you all!

Warm wishes, Net

Favorite Danica McKellar Movies on DVD:

Danica McKellar to Star in "The Winter Palace" on GAC Family in 2022 and More Original Films!

According to an EXCLUSIVE with Deadline.com: "Danica McKellar, longtime star of holiday movies for Hallmark Channel, (plus, The Wonder Years, Matchmaker Mysteries, Crown for Christmas) is getting into business with GAC Media. McKellar has signed a four-picture deal to star in and executive produce original films for the company’s flagship networks, GAC Family and GAC Living."

According to the article, Danica McKellar will star in and produce The Winter Palace, which will premiere on GAC Family in January 2022! Danica isn't the only Hallmark star to sign a multi-picture deal with GAC Media. Previously announced were: Trevor Donovan (USS Christmas, Two for the Win) and Susie Albromeit (A Perfect Christmas, Much Ado About Christmas).

This news is certainly interesting, as many actors well-known from popular Hallmark movies have already signed on to work with GAC Media this holiday season, such as: Jill Wagner, Jen Lilley and Cameron Mathison! I think Danica will be a nice addition to GAC, and I know I'm already curious to learn more about The Winter Palace. Will this be a royal-theme, like her popular Hallmark Christmas movie, Crown for Christmas or might this be an ice hotel, like Hallmark's Winter Castle?

Stay tuned!

Joyous Blessings, Net
