Candace Cameron Bure Teams Up With FULL HOUSE Co-Star For Upcoming Christmas Movie
By Movieguide® Contributor
GAC’s upcoming Christmas movie CANDACE CAMERON BURE PRESENTS: CHRISTMAS ON CANDY LANE is shaping up to be a FULL HOUSE reunion!
In addition to Bure producing the project with GAC, FULL HOUSE alum Andrea Barber will star in the movie.
She plays Ivy Donaldson, a woman struggling to handle her recent separation from her husband, as well as her late mother’s glowing reputation as “Christmas Maven,” during the holidays.
Per Deadline, “The shoes seem too big to fill. When obstacles reach a crescendo for Ivy, a series of comical and mysterious events bring neighbors of Icicle Falls, including Ivy’s entire family, together in a masterstroke of perfection only the ‘Christmas Maven’ herself could appreciate.”
“It brings me great joy to bring you the incredibly talented and funny Andrea Barber,” Bure said of CHRISTMAS ON CANDY LANE. “Having a 30-year bestie friendship both on and off camera has allowed me to find the perfect project to introduce the Christmas genre audience to her brilliant comedic skills, her heartwarming authenticity and vulnerability that is a rare gem today. Just as I have, audiences will fall in love with Andrea’s warmth and relatability, and chuckle along with her all the way down Candy Cane Lane.”
Movieguide® previously reported on another one of Bure’s upcoming holiday projects with GAC:
Candace Cameron Bure is getting ready for her first movie with GAC Family to premiere!
The actress left Hallmark in April, but quickly partnered with GAC to continue creating and starring in content.
Bure’s first movie with GAC is called A CHRISTMAS…PRESENT and will premiere on the network in November.
The actress stars as Maggie, a Type-A real estate agent who takes her family to spend the holidays with her widowed brother and his daughter. The siblings have very different ideas about how to spend Christmas and, after “a series of transformative events,” Maggie learns the true meaning of Christmas.
In a statement about the upcoming movie, Bure shared, “A CHRISTMAS…PRESENT is about slowing down enough to recognize what’s right in front of our eyes. The hustle and bustle of the Christmas season will arrive before we know it but it’s through the quiet moments that we hear God speak to us, directing our path to what’s most important.”
A CHRISTMAS…PRESENT was conceived and developed through Bure’s Candy Rock Entertainment company, and is its first project since signing with GAC.
“I am thrilled to be kicking off our partnership with a must-see film like A CHRISTMAS…PRESENT, which will delight our fans this holiday season and is indicative of the memorable movies and family-friendly entertainment that Great American Media is looking forward to creating with Candace and the Candy Rock team,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO of Great AmericanMedia.
