Great American Family has announced that Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison will co-star in the new Christmas movie JINGLE BELLS, WEDDING BELLS.

Gracie (Bure) is Peachtree Inn’s perfect wedding planner whose mantra ‘No problems, only solutions waiting to be discovered’ makes blushing brides’ dreams come true. When Charlie (Mathison) brings his sister and future brother-in-law to their former hometown of Butler, South Carolina, expecting to create a magical Christmas Eve wedding at the Inn for Lindsay and Josh, the trio is stunned when Gracie stubbornly declines the job, saying it is not possible to pull off the perfect wedding two weeks before Christmas. Eventually, Gracie relents and agrees to plan the wedding, only to discover there are more hurdles to overcome than expected.
Bure will also serve as an executive producer.

JINGLE BELLS, WEDDING BELLS is Bure’s second movie slated for the holiday season. She’s also starring in A CHRISTMAS LESS TRAVELED where her character embarks on a journey to learn more about her past.
