Check Out GAF’s 3 New Additions to Christmas Lineup
By Movieguide® Contributor
Three new Great American Family movies are set to release this holiday season!
The first is A ROYAL CHRISTMAS BALLET, starring Brittany Underwood and Jonathan Stoddard.
“In A ROYAL CHRISTMAS BALLET, a retired ballerina is pressed into service working with a visiting team of royal ambassadors to put on the season’s performance of ‘The Nutcracker’ and finds herself center stage in an unexpected Christmas romance,” a synopsis reads.
A SHELTER AND SEASON’S GREETINGS, starring Eric Guilmette, follows “Caleb, an Army vet wounded in service who recovers with the help of therapy dogs from a local shelter run by Amber (Ash Tsai, Journey to Christmas).”
“As a sign of gratitude, Caleb volunteers at the shelter, though he notices one wealthy donor has his eye on Amber,” the synopsis continues. “Despite the patron’s help, the shelter needs additional funds to stay afloat, so Caleb produces a holiday pet fair to bring community together. As the pair become closer, Caleb confides a desire to repair the relationship with his parents that became strained after his injury. Amber has the perfect plan!”
“In THE FABRIC OF CHRISTMAS (wt), Harmon Walsh (Liam Sullivan, CHRISTMAS BY CANDLELIGHT), a firefighter, and Ferelith Young (Amy Walker, A MATCH FOR THE PRINCE ), a quilting teacher, are drawn together to make the perfect quilt for Liam’s sister Lauren’s (Alia Desantis, SAYING YES TO CHRISTMAS) Christmas wedding. After a rocky start, the pair is forced to put differences aside and decide what is most important this Christmas,” the synopsis for the third movie reads.
Candace Cameron Bure will star in JINGLE BELLS, WEDDING BELLS with Cameron Mathison as well as A CHRISTMAS LESS TRAVELED. Jill Wagner is slated for AURORA CHRISTMAS, while husband-wife duo Mario and Courtney Lopez are also teaming up for a movie.
A LITTLE WOMEN’S CHRISTMAS, the network’s first ensemble movie, is also premiering this Christmas season.
“A LITTLE WOMEN’S CHRISTMAS is a new Christmas classic in the making, with an incredible ensemble cast and an adaptation of an original story that is one of the best I have read,” said Bill Abbott, GAF CEO. “Louisa May Alcott was intentional about focusing on the culture of young women, their hopes, ambitions, and dreams, and it remains one of the most widely read and beloved stories ever written.”
