Dust off the holiday decor! Following Hallmark’s Christmas movie schedule reveal, Great American Family is also getting into the Christmas spirit — and gifting us a lineup of 18 original movies this season.
The faith-based cable network will begin rolling out its “Great American Christmas” slate on Oct. 10 and will continue to premiere new movies every weekend through Dec. 19. If you want an early look at each film, they will be available to stream on Pure Flix, Great American Family’s on-demand subscription streaming service, a few days before they air on TV.
This year, you’ll get double the dose of Candace Cameron Bure, Cameron Mathison, Danica McKellar, and Ryan Paevey, all of whom are headlining two family-friendly movies each. Bure, who executive produces a third film, kicks off Great American Family’s holiday programming with A Second Chance Christmas (Oct. 10) before starring in A Sweet Christmas Anniversary (Nov. 27) with Mathison, who also leads A Very Arctic Christmas (Oct. 31). McKellar toplines The Christmas Yes List (Nov. 14) and The Greatest Christmas Gift (Nov. 29), while Paevey stars in Christmas at Moose Lake (Nov. 15) and The Christmas Ornament Library (Dec. 5).
