I have been doing this for more years than I would like to admit and I can honestly say, this is the best slate of movies we have ever had. It was so hard to rank them and I must have changed my list 10 times and would continue to do so, if I had more time! From 1 to 18, they are all so well done and each one is special in it's own way. I hope everyone enjoys them!
1. A Sweet Christmas Anniversary
I will never bet against the Queen of Christmas, this movie is so beautiful and Candace and Cameron are so fun together.
2. The Christmas Yes List
This is one of my absolute favorites, Danica and Sam have great comedic timing and chemistry.
3. The Ornament Library
So exciting to have our first Great American Christmas movie with Ryan Paevey, he is so good in this and paired with Merritt Paterson, it is sure to be a hit!
4. A Very Arctic Christmas
Cameron and Jill are perfect together, I really enjoyed it and think it will be one of the top movies this year.
5. A Second Chance Christmas
This movie will kick off our Christmas lineup this year, the first time a Candace movie has launched our season, which is very exciting.
6. The Greatest Christmas Gift
Our second Danica movie this Christmas and a newcomer to our Great American Family, Matthew Marsden, are the perfect way to end Thanksgiving weekend.
7. Three Generations, One Christmas
A wonderful story about family and traditions with Mario Lopez and Tony Danza, it will not disappoint.
8. Silver Bells at Christmas
It's extra special when music plays an important part of a movie, Laura Osnes and Ryan McPartlin are perfectly cast.
9. Christmas at Moose Lake
We get not only one but two movies with Ryan Paevey this year! A great cast all around brings this movie to life.
10. The Christmas Ring
This movie written by Karen Kingsbury is one of my favorites this year, I would have it higher, if the competition wasn't so strong.
11. A Christmas Rescue
You can't go wrong with Trevor Donovan and pet rescue!
12. A Christmas Prayer 2
Fun catching up with beloved characters from last season.
13. An Ozark Mountain Christmas
You can't beat the scenery in this movie, seeing the magic of Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri.
14. Letters This Christmas
This is a sweet story that stars fan favorite Jesse Hutch and Ashley Newbrough as they reconnect in their hometown.
15. Making Christmas Bright
This brings alive the true meaning of Christmas and celebrating faith and family, starting Jillian Murray.
16. Christmas Wrapped In Love
This movie stars Cindy Busby, who is always one of my favorites, based on the novel The Christmas Gift List.
17. Christmas By The Spoonful
A cute romcom story that viewers will enjoy and one of my favorite titles!
18. A Very Evergreen Christmas
This is a great movie, despite the number on my list, just way too many great movies this year!
