CHRISTMAS MOVIE NEWS:

While most of us are enjoying sunny summer weather... we are also looking forward to beating the heat with Christmas in July Hallmark movies - coming late June! I have updated the schedule with the titles and times Hallmark is currently reporting on their web-site. Please note: MANY RECENT CHANGES have been made, including Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will no longer have Christmas movies 24-7, and on July 15th, HMM will have Christmas movies until 9pm/8c., before the premiere of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: To the Altar." (Unfortunately, the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie marathon that was previously scheduled on the 15th will not be taking place, after all.) Some Christmas movies have been moved around on the schedule and a few have been removed altogether. Please see the Christmas in July schedule *here* for all the latest revisions. I hope all of your favorites made the list!

Enjoy all the new movies and more!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

CHESAPEAKE SHORES returns for Season Three in August on Hallmark Channel! #Chessies @HallmarkChannel

Hallmark Press Release:

RETURN TO ‘CHESAPEAKE SHORES’
THIS SUMMER

SEASON THREE PREMIERE

SUNDAY, AUGUST 5
ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

Part of Hallmark Channel’s “Summer Nights” Programming Event

Hallmark Channel’s hit primetime series ‘CHESAPEAKE SHORES’ returns for Season Three Sunday, August 5 (9pm ET/PT, 8C) and runs through October 2018 with new episodes every Sunday night. “Chesapeake Shores” is part of the network’s “Summer Nights” programming event.

Based on the novels of the same name by New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods, the series stars Jesse Metcalfe (“Dallas”), Meghan Ory (“Once Upon A Time”), Golden Globe® nominee Treat Williams (“Everwood,” “Hair”), Academy Award® nominee Diane Ladd (“Wild At Heart”), Barbara Niven (“Cedar Cove”), Laci Mailey (“Falling Skies”), Emilie Ullerup (“Sanctuary”), Brendan Penny (“Motive”) and Andrew Francis (“Final Destination 3”). Gregory Harrison (“One Tree Hill”), Victor Webster and Jerry Trimble return to guest star in season three.

Season three of the multi-generational family drama “Chesapeake Shores” follows Abby O’Brien (Meghan Ory), a high-powered career woman, divorcee and mother to twin daughters, as she adjusts to life back in her hometown of Chesapeake Shores. Rekindling her romance with Trace (Jesse Metcalfe), her former high school sweetheart, Abby discovers that their relationship will be rocked by not only his newfound fame, but also her responsibility to protect her daughters. Returning to her hometown also means engaging in the lives and loves of her siblings: Jess (Laci J. Mailey) a free-spirit and owner of a successful bed and breakfast; Bree (Emilie Ullerup), a former playwright who buys a bookstore in Chesapeake Shores who has written a family tell-all; Kevin (Brendan Penny), a soldier adjusting to civilian life, a new career and a newly serious romance; and Connor (Andrew Francis), a lawyer who is finally stepping out of his brother’s shadow. With the support of their uncompromising, highly successful businessman-father, Mick (Treat Williams), their once-estranged mother, Megan (Barbara Niven), and their wise grandmother Nell (Diane Ladd), the O’Briens are a family that must face life’s challenges, but always finds hope in their enduring love toward one another as they navigate life, love, career and romance.

Hallmark Movies Now, Crown Media Family Networks’ fast-growing subscription streaming service, is offering the first two seasons of Hallmark Channel’s “Chesapeake Shores.” The two-hour pilot that first immersed viewers into the world of Chesapeake Shores becomes available May 29, with two, one-hour episodes being added every Friday night starting June 1, and continuing through July, leading up to the series’ season three debut on Hallmark Channel in August.

Kellie Pickler to star in Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie - at Graceland!

USA TODAY has revealed that Kellie Pickler, American Idol alum, country singer, and co-host of the talk show Pickler & Ben - will star in "Christmas At Graceland," an all new Hallmark Channel Original Countdown to Christmas Movie!

photo: Kellie Pickler Website

The storyline reported by USA Today: Pickler will portray Laurel, an "executive from Chicago who heads to Memphis with hopes of nabbing an old family-owned bank. Laurel's ex, Clay, who promotes local musical acts has bigger aspirations. Despite, Laurel's steadfast focus, she's reminded by Clay of their time as performers who were once on the cusp of fame. With what we presume will include a little holiday magic, Laurel shifts her focus to music once again."

"Christmas At Graceland" will film at Elvis Presley's former home in Tennessee, according to USA Today, and will, of course, include Elvis Presley music!


My Take:

Oh, "I'm all Shook Up"!

We first learned Kellie Pickler was doing a Christmas movie earlier this year. It is exciting now to have a title and a basic idea of the storyline. "I Can't Help Falling in Love" with the plans for this upcoming Christmas movie! Kellie Pickler is just as sweet and charming as she can be; I can only imagine this movie will be just as delightful to see! I do hope she wears her "Red High Heels".

Can't you just hear Elvis singing softly in the background... "Santa Bring My Baby Back to Me?"

Please share your thoughts on this movie below and your favorite Elvis song! I've always loved "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender," and his version of "How Great Thou Art."

UPDATE: Kellie's co-star is Wes Brown ("Christmas Cookies").

Blessings! Net
