🎄Christmas Movie Alert!🎄 See Jen Lilley's NEW Christmas Movie, "Operation Mistletoe," on TV This Weekend

All systems are a go! Operation Mistletoe is set to premiere on a local TV channel this weekend! See details below...


Operation Mistletoe, starring Jen Lilley and Nick Bateman, originally premiered this holiday season on the streamer Hulu, but now we'll get a chance to see it this Sunday, December 1st, on the CW network at 7pm/6c. (please be sure to check your local listings, in case your time varies)

A very special thank you to Maria, who is a loyal follower, dear friend, and reviewer here, for sharing this exciting Christmas movie news with us! I'm so glad you saw this movie in the schedule, Maria, and shared it with us!

When the CW first released their Christmas programming in a press release on October 31st, this timing in their schedule said TBA, so at that time, it was still unannounced what this time slot would be filled with. It's nice that those who don't have Hulu will now have the opportunity to see this!


Operation Mistletoe storyline:
When Grace’s former crush comes home for Christmas, her best friend tries to play matchmaker by hiring her to decorate the house he plans to sell.


Movie Review from Sara S.:
🎄 Operation Mistletoe - Thank you for sharing about this movie! I just watched it and it was so cute! It stars Jen Lilley and Nick Bateman. They had great chemistry together and the supporting cast was great especially her best friend and brother who are married. Very cute and fun!  ~Sara S.


I hope many of you will have the opportunity to watch this movie this Sunday! I know it's difficult with many other Christmas movies premiering that night, too. Hopefully, many of you can record it, if you can't catch it live.

Have a blessed 

Thanksgiving weekend, everyone!

THE WALTONS RETURN TO THE CW NETWORK WITH NEW ORIGINAL HOLIDAY MOVIE “THE WALTONS’ THANKSGIVING”

Last year, the CW aired a remake of the original special, THE WALTONS’ HOMECOMING. According to the press release below, it was ratings success for the network, so it makes sense they are filming a follow-up with THE WALTONS’ THANKSGIVING. 

Richard Thomas (the original John Boy) is returning once again to narrate this new film. 

See all the details on The Waltons' Thanksgiving below...

THE WALTONS RETURN 

TO THE CW NETWORK

WITH NEW ORIGINAL HOLIDAY MOVIE

“THE WALTONS’ THANKSGIVING”

Bellamy Young, Logan Shroyer and Richard Thomas Reprise Their “The Waltons’ Homecoming” Roles, with Teddy Sears Joining the Cast

May 4, 2022 (Burbank, CA) — The CW Network announced today a new, original made-for-television movie THE WALTONS’ THANKSGIVING will debut in the fourth quarter 2022. An exact air date and time will be announced later.

In THE WALTONS’ THANKSGIVING, the holiday spirit is in the air on Walton Mountain in 1934 as the Walton family eagerly prepares for the annual Harvest Festival Fair in town. Carnival rides, talent shows and pie contests come around every year, but at this year’s Harvest Festival Fair, a young boy arrives that will dramatically change the Waltons’ lives in ways that they could have never imagined.

From Warner Bros. Television, THE WALTONS’ THANKSGIVING is a follow-up to The CW’s original television movie THE WALTONS’ HOMECOMING, which was the network’s second most-watched special of the 2021-22 season. THE WALTONS’ HOMECOMING took home a 73rd Annual Christopher Award in Television, Cable and Streaming, as well as two Movie Guide Awards for the Epiphany Prize in Television and star Bellamy Young for the Grace Prize in Television for most inspiring performance of the year. It was also the winner of the Environmental Media Association’s Green Seal Award for implementing sustainable practices and raising environmental awareness.

THE WALTONS’ THANKSGIVING stars Bellamy Young (“Scandal”) as Olivia, Logan Shroyer (“This Is Us”) as John Boy, Teddy Sears (“The Flash”) as John Sr., and Richard Thomas, who originally starred as John Boy Walton in the beloved television series “The Waltons,” as adult John Boy, who narrates the movie. The television movie is produced by Magnolia Hill Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with Emmy®-winning executive producer Sam Haskell, writer/co-executive producer Jim Strain, co-executive producer Hudson Hickman, producer Billy Levin, and producer Bobby Kelly. Joe Lazarov is the director/co-executive producer and Grammy® winner Tena Clark is the composer. “The Waltons” original series was created by Earl Hamner, Jr.

When the sun goes down, brighten up your night with...

*The Great Christmas Light Fight*

Details via ABC: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas as ABC's tree-mendously popular decorating competition series, "The Great Christmas Light Fight," takes over Wednesdays in December as it returns for its eighth season with back-to-back episodes starting WEDNESDAY DEC 9 at 8/7c, for three consecutive weeks. America's brightest houses bring joy to the world with the help of celebrity judges – lifestyle expert Carter Oosterhouse and famed interior designer Taniya Nayak.

All isn't always calm, but all is definitely bright as the Christmas classic takes viewers across the country to the most elaborate and awe-inspiring holiday displays in the nation. This holiday season, we will once again see four fantastic families face off in each one-hour episode and compete to win $50,000 should they "sleigh" the competition. Taking Christmas decorating to another level, the Heavyweights special will return for its third year featuring a first-ever parade of one-of-a-kind sparkling floats and a mile-long drive-through with over a million synchronized lights, to name a few, that viewers will never forget.

*CAUTION: I have not pre-screened this; therefore, I do not know if the content or dialogue is family friendly. Please use your own discretion - if you choose to watch. To be honest, my favorite version of "The GRINCH" is the old classic animation. Some children are often very frightful of the movie version, and this one, in my opinion, looks rather creepy, too. So please beware - for your little ones. See trailer below.
