❄When Calls the Heart's Lori Loughlin to star in "Fall Into Winter" on Great American Family!❄ #Hearties #Movie #RomCom @GAfamilyTV #FallIntoWinter #GreatAmericanFamily @carajrussell 💕 See Here:

UPDATE December 17, 2022: 

Great American Family Announces these movies for January 2023:
(More details to come!)

*A Royal in Paradise - January 7, 2023

*Lease on Love - January 14, 2023

*Fall Into Winter - January 28, 2023


See details on Fall Into Winter below...

September 22, 2022: I'm delighted to share today that Great American Family will once again be working with actress, Lori Loughlin (Garage Sale Mysteries, Full House, When Calls the Heart, etc...), in an upcoming movie in 2023! It brings my heart so much joy to see Lori making movies again. I'm truly grateful Great American Family has welcomed Lori so warmly to their channel; however, her first starring role on the network will have a chilly theme, since it is set during the Winter season. Last year, you may recall, Lori had a co-starring role on Great American Family in When Hope Calls Christmas as her beloved When Calls the Heart character, Abigail Stanton.

See all the details on Lori's new Great American Family movie below...

PRESS RELEASE VIA GREAT AMERICAN MEDIA:

LORI LOUGHLIN

SET TO STAR IN

GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY

ORIGINAL MOVIE

FALL INTO WINTER

Romantic Comedy Marks Loughlin’s First for Network

NEW YORK, NY – September 22, 2022 – Great American Family today announced Lori Loughlin (When Hope Calls, When Calls the Heart) is set to star in Fall Into Winter, which premieres in January, 2023 as part of the network’s annual winter programming event. The film, Loughlin’s first romantic comedy for Great American Family, follows her successful reprisal of the role of Abigail Stanton in When Hope Calls Christmas last holiday season. Fall Into Winter begins production October 23.

“Lori is a genre-defining star that I have had the honor to call a close friend and collaborator for more than 15 years,” said Bill Abbott, President and CEO of Great American Media. “We have a shared vision for creating meaningful and memorable movies that resonate with our passionate fans, and I look forward to welcoming her back to Great American Family to anchor our 2023 winter programming slate.”

In Fall Into Winter, Keely (Loughlin) is aghast when her brother sells his half of their family-owned, upscale candy shop to his best friend from high school (and her nemesis, Brooks) forcing a sudden urgency to find connection and common ground. Keely has been hurt before; change is her new nemesis. Brooks’ past is a mirror of Keely’s. He, too, has a fortress around his heart. Fate brings the pair together. Might it also offer new beginnings?

Fall Into Winter is executive produced by Brad Krevoy and Susie Belzberg Krevoy.

David Anselmo produces for HP Into Winter Productions, Inc. Fall Into Winter is written by Cara J. Russell.

CHRISTMAS AT THE DRIVE-IN

NEW YORK, NY – September 21, 2022 – Great American Family today announced Danica McKellar (“The Wonder Years,” The Winter Palace) and Neal Bledsoe (“The Man in High Castle,” The Winter Palace) are set to star in Christmas at the Drive-In, premiering on the network this holiday season. McKellar is also executive producer for the film, her first original Christmas movie since signing a multi-picture deal with Great American Family. Christmas at the Drive-In reunites McKellar and Bledsoe following the successful premiere of The Winter Palace in January. Christmas at the Drive-In is part of Great American Christmas, the network’s holiday programming franchise which returns on October 21 with a new slate of original holiday movie premieres every Saturday and Sunday and Christmas movies all day and all night through the end of 2022.

Now a law professor at Chesterfield College, Sadie has no interest in ever pursuing law again until she finds herself fighting to preserve a cherished local landmark, Chesterfield Drive-In. Sadie is surprised to find out her passionate effort to keep the drive-in open has staunch opposition – the late owner’s son and Sadie’s childhood sweetheart, Holden (Bledsoe).

Executive producers of Christmas at the Drive-In are Brad Krevoy, Eric Jarboe, Amanda Phillips, Amy Krell, Vince Balzano, Jimmy Townsend, Danica McKellar, David Anselmo, Susie Belzberg Krevoy, Kathy Ceroni, and Don McBrearty.

*************** End of Press Release ***************

My *Quick* Take:

I love that this story is centered around saving a Drive-In Movie Theater. Have you ever been to one or do you still know one in your state? The drive-in I've always gone to is still going strong. We've heard rumors through the years that it might close, but it's still there. I love when I drive by and check out the marquee of what's airing. I've been to it numerous times through the years. It's such a different experience then being in the theater. I sure hope they will be able to save the one in the Danica's new movie, too!

Merry Blessings to you all, Net

Christmas TV Movies Are ONE MONTH Away!!!

It won't be long now... until those jingle bells start ringing, the choirs start singing Christmas carols, children make lists for Santa and try to be extra good, and Christmas movies will return on our TV's, old and new!

We are currently ONE MONTH AWAY now from Christmas movies playing on Great American Family, the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries! The JOY of Christmas begins on ALL three networks on Friday, October 21, 2022! At that time, Christmas movies will air around the clock - 24/7!

Now, I'm sure there will be Christmas movies that will become new favorites, others may be mediocre, and some will surely be duds. Each year we get a mix of good and bad, but hopefully, there will still be some Christmas movies this year that outshine all of the others.

For now, you can see the NEW Great American Family and Hallmark movies listed in the 2022 Christmas TV Movie Schedule! Times may change, so please be sure to check back for updates. More movies will be added to the schedule as soon as we receive more details.

Which Christmas movies are YOU most looking forward to seeing again, or for the first time, this Christmas season?

Joyous Blessings to you all, Net
