Happy Christmas Movie Watching, Friends! ❤️🎄

We're in for another BIG weekend of Christmas movie premieres, and this one is the biggest lineup yet! The Christmas movie excitement just keeps growing, with Great American Family premiering TWO new movies for the first time this season, Hallmark Channel bringing us THREE more premieres, and UPtv adding ONE more to the festive fun!

And what a fun variety of stories we have coming our way! One movie takes us to the Christmas wonderland of Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri (which sounds like such a delightful setting!), another brings together cherished Christmas memories and a heartfelt tribute to our military, while another reminds us that sometimes the best gift we can give our family is putting down our screens and spending more time together. And that's just part of what's in store!

So, whether you're setting the DVR or planning a cozy night of Christmas movie watching, there are plenty of new stories to look forward to! I'm excited to see which ones become new favorites, and I always love hearing what you think, too!

See all of the premiere details below...

Merry Memories

Michaela (Lindura) is a rigid accountant who steps in to help her brother care for his young son Danny (Omi Fitzpatrick-Gonzales) while Danny’s military mom is deployed over Christmas. When Danny is assigned to create a holiday scrapbook for his mom, Michaela reluctantly accepts help from his free-spirited substitute teacher, Bryan (Morgan), whose creativity clashes with her need for preciseness and control. As they set out to capture festive moments for the scrapbook, unexpected mishaps turn into meaningful traditions – and sparks begin to fly. Through Danny’s project, Michaela learns to embrace imperfection and open her heart, while Bryan rethinks his future as a traveling substitute teacher.

New Movies Coming to the Hallmark Channel in 2027... with Tyler Hynes, Kim Matula, Lacey Chabert, & More

noreply@blogger.com (Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie") — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 19:58:48 +0000

Hallmark Media announced today a new movie coming in 2027 starring Tyler Hynes and Kim Matula!

Tyler delivered the news while casually sitting next to a sleeping camel. Their new movie, titled "Here's Looking at You, Kit," is coming to the Hallmark Channel in 2027 as part of the network's Winter Escape lineup, and rumor has it that it is being filmed in Morocco.

The title of the film, "Here's Looking at You, Kit," of course, instantly reminded me of that iconic line from Humphrey Bogart in the classic movie Casablanca: "Here's Looking at You, Kid." That film wasn't filmed in Morocco; however, the setting of the film is set in the city of Casablanca in French Morocco.

It should be interesting to see if there are more similarities between this Hallmark movie and the 1942 classic film.

And there's more Hallmark movie news!

Taylor Cole and Wes Brown are teaming up for a new Hallmark Channel movie, and this one will have a golf theme! Taylor shared the exciting news during a behind-the-scenes panel hosted by JustJared.com at the 2026 Hallmark Christmas Cruise. While the movie is still under wraps and hasn't been officially announced by Hallmark just yet, Taylor let this little bit of news slip early.

And in case you haven't heard, Hallmark hasn't revealed this news yet, but Just Jared revealed weeks ago that Lacey Chabert is also filming abroad. She was spotted in Venice, Italy, filming with Josh Bowman. The film is expected to be part of Hallmark's Winter Escape.

Stay tuned for more movie news!

Happy Movie-Watching,

Happy Weekend, Everyone!

Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend, which means it's time to fall back and change our clocks again. Personally, I would love it - if we just stayed at the time we are right now. What do you all think? Do you enjoy a brighter morning or more sunlight in the early evening?

At least, this weekend, we'll have more time for watching Christmas movies!!! Once again, we have four Christmas premieres to look forward to, one on Great American Family and three on the Hallmark Channel! And there's lots of wonderful actors starring in these movies: Jill Wagner, Cameron Mathison, Rhiannon Fish, Corey Sevier, Emile Ullerup, and more!

So... as we transition this weekend from October to November, check out details for the new Christmas premieres below + some delightful classics!

🔎 Nikki DeLoach & Andrew Walker Announce New "Curious Caterer Mystery"

noreply@blogger.com (Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie") — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 20:34:00 +0000

Mystery fans, get ready for more sleuthing, suspicious clues, and puzzles to solve!

In case you missed it, during Hallmark’s four-night Christmas Cruise event this past weekend, Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker announced during a Q&A panel that a NEW "Curious Caterer" mystery movie is coming in 2027! Even better, filming is set to begin very soon on this sixth installment - from October 30th through November 18th! The working title is "Prime Cut: A Curious Caterer Mystery"!

Prime Cut is the 8th book in Diane Mott Davidson’s Goldy Culinary Mysteries series, which inspired Hallmark’s Curious Caterer movies! If the new movie follows the book, Goldy may find herself in quite a pickle! She’s facing serious financial troubles and career pressure, all while dealing with a kitchen remodel gone wrong and a cutthroat rival. Sounds like Goldy will have plenty to juggle as she tries to get to the bottom of another mystery!

Once again, Nikki DeLoach stars as Goldy Berry, a caterer with a knack for stumbling into mysteries, while Andrew Walker plays Detective Tom Schultz. Somehow, these two always find themselves working together, and while Goldy may be an amateur sleuth, she has excellent instincts and a way of noticing the little details that others might miss.

I’m so excited to see what new mystery awaits Goldy and Tom next!

The previous films in this series are:

Curious Caterer: Dying for Chocolate (2022)

Curious Caterer: Grilling Season (2023)

Curious Caterer: Fatal Vows (2023)

Curious Caterer: Foiled Plans (2024)

Curious Caterer: Forbidden Fruit (2024)

You can watch these movies by streaming on Hallmark+ (click here), or the first three "Curious Caterer" movies are available on DVD (click here).

Can't wait to sleuth this mystery with you all again! I hope many of you are excited, too!

Happy Sleuthing!

Audrey agrees to stay for one last festive season at Wonderlanes and decides to revive its iconic Winter Wonderlanes youth bowling tournament. To drum up publicity for the event, she reluctantly partners with Jason Miller (Lo Presti), a local news reporter and her high school boyfriend. While the two work side by side, the embers of their past start flickering, rekindling feelings they thought they left behind. As the tournament draws near, Audrey questions her next move that will take her away from the people and places she loves… and decides if she’s ready to walk away from Wonderlanes – or finally put down roots where her heart truly belongs.

When he surprises her with a pre-Christmas proposal, her fear of a failed relationship sends her dashing away without giving him an answer. Heartbroken, Rob drives to his sister’s house and has a car accident that leaves him without memories of the past year, including his relationship with Kathryn and his once-infectious love of Christmas. Following the unconventional orders from his doctor, Kathryn agrees to help trigger Rob’s memory by retracing their romance and reintroducing him to the holidays. But as his memories inch closer to returning, Kathryn must face the painful truth that bringing Rob back to himself may mean losing him forever, unless she can finally find the courage to fight for the love she was too afraid to claim.

However, when he moves to a new hospital, her help is no longer needed. Feeling lost and without a purpose back in New York City, her long-suppressed regrets over giving up her dream of pursuing fashion design start bubbling up. When Erin is given a peculiar heart-shaped Christmas ornament, she wakes up in an alternate reality where she’s a world-famous fashion designer. As she “meets” and attends Christmas events with alternate-universe Adam, she realizes that while her fashion dreams came true, it’s lonely at the top. While working on a way to bring more charity and heart to her fashion empire, she learns that her dream life and love were always right in front of her – if only she finds the heart and courage to ask.

🌟 SHINING HIS LIGHT: 🌟

With "A Christmas Prayer Tradition" premiering this weekend, I thought this would be a meaningful time to share The Lord's Prayer...

"After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done in earth,

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power,

and the glory, for ever. Amen."

~Matthew 6:9-13

🌟GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY:

A Second Chance Christmas - October 10, 2026

🎄 I also watched Second Chance Christmas. It went so fast! I really do hope there's a second movie with the family next Christmas and see how they have grown. ~Misty

🎄 I watched A Second Chance Christmas last night on Pure Flix with Candance and Jonathan. They were great together and I had my reservations about this pairing. As the title says, it's about second chances in love and more importunely the chances God gives us by just simply asking and truly meaning it. He's always just a prayer away! There's lots of praying in this movie and that's all I will give away! It's good! It's a keeper! ~Joyce in Carolina

🎄 We enjoyed A Second Chance Christmas. The faith in this movie is truly inspiring. I was surprised that they both found faith after their divorce. I liked that sometimes life doesn't always turn out the way we expected. ~Allie B

🎄 A Second Chance Christmas- Anyone who has ever experienced struggles (ongoing or recent) with imperfections really should watch this beautiful movie! –Maria

🎄 Second Chance Christmas is a really great start to the Christmas season for Great American Family. I love how it focuses on belief, reflection and growth, and forgiveness. And even better, it's a movie where the actors actually play roles that fit them according to their ages and life experience. Yay! Sometimes the faith element in these movies can feel a bit awkward, but I appreciated how this was delivered with what felt like genuine sincerity, including reminiscing about the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ. Well done! ~Marianne

🎄 Marianne, I totally agree, it was well done! And I, too, appreciate when actors fit the age and experience level for their roles, it makes it much easier for me to enjoy the whole movie. ~~Jane

🎄 A Second Chance Christmas – What a heartwarming and inspiring way to kick off Great American Family’s 2026 Christmas movie season! The story centers on Anna (Candace Cameron Bure) and James (Jonathan Scarfe), exes who find themselves alone together in a beautifully decorated cabin at Christmastime. Even with a smaller setting and just the two of them for much of the story, the movie keeps things interesting and entertaining from beginning to end!

Right from the start, Candace and Jonathan do a wonderful job drawing us into their characters’ lives, heartaches, and hopes for the future. Reconnecting as a divorced couple doesn’t come without a few disagreements, but I really loved watching them slowly open their hearts again. One of the most meaningful moments was later in the movie when Rubin, their new friend, talked with James about the time and dedication it takes to restore a piece of furniture. I thought that was such a beautiful connection to Anna and James’s relationship! Just as a broken piece of furniture can be carefully restored, a relationship that seems damaged can also be renewed with patience, love, and faith.

Overall, A Second Chance Christmas is a sweet reminder that broken things aren’t always beyond repair. This movie was a beautiful way to begin this Christmas movie season. ~Net

🎄 Agree, Net! Definitely a beautiful way to start the season, and a keeper, as Joyce said! ~~Jane

🎄 I agree Net. This was a great way to start the Christmas movie season. Giving a clear reason for the season in Jesus. At the center is Jesus, scripture, prayer, & renewal. Very powerful stuff.

Now, I HAVE to drag my mattress into the living room and place it in front of the fireplace with the couch nearby. That was one of my favorite parts of the movie. You talk about the warm and fuzzies and coziness and with the Christmas tree and decorations lit up in the background, this was a great scene. All within a beautiful cozy cabin. Oh, and a storm raging outside making it even more delightful. I love doing things like that. The world rages outside the cabin walls but inside is a mystical quality of the season.

I also loved that they lost connection to the outside world even with their phones allowing them to see heart to heart once again without the distractions of the world muddling things up. They were once again able to see their true love, through Christ, and through a wonderful believing couple who helped along the way and who became their only contact to the world. The path became clear when they were forced into simplification. Life today is too fast and too technologically driven and filled with endless distractions keeping us from seeing that clear path of love. –Jim

🎄 A Second Chance Christmas - Okay I have finished my first recorded Christmas movie of the season, I’m off to a good start lol So I really enjoyed this movie! The storyline already hooked me in with them being stranded in a cabin during a storm- those are always so cozy. This one had a lot of serious conversations that I feel many married couples have, and many wives/moms can relate to Candace’s character as we try to do it all and it’s impossible. Marriage is really hard work and I loved the introduction of the neighbor couple and their little mentorship. I really enjoy BJ Harrison and I feel she was a good fit as the neighbor. I love what her husband said when they forgot to pray “it’s never too late” That’s so true about so many things in our walk with Christ. It’s never too late to come to God, to repent, to forgive, to change, to love, and it’s a choice we make everyday to follow Christ. Definitely recommend! ~Paula

🎄 A Second Chance Christmas - Boy, do I feel like I am behind the 8-ball here! (That's an old expression for you young ones here!) Anyway, Joyce, Marianne, Jane, Maria, Allie, Jim and Net...I totally agree with everything you have said, and what you said you said beautifully, so there's not really much more for me to add. But let me just say, this is a wonderful movie all-around - a great story that kept me interested throughout, great acting, and most of all, the wonderful message that, as you said Net, relationships can work with patience, love and faith. And I love how prayer was emphasized so much in this movie!

And my prayer is that couples struggling in their lives with their partner will somehow find this movie and it will take its message to heart! To me, nothing is better than when a movie like this can have a healing effect! –Mark 25

🎄 A Second Chance Christmas - we enjoyed this movie too! Best part for me was the son’s reaction at the end and what he said. (I’m not going to give it away but it was very sweet!) Christie

🎄 A Second Chance Christmas was so incredibly good!! We’ve had extended family drama in recent years and we’ve had multiple conversations with our girls about how we often see others through a screen of our own pain and they had such a great example of this that we got to go more in depth about as a family. They did such a great job of showing the gravity and depth of a broken family (I grew up in one 🙋🏼‍♀️) while also showing how having a relationship with Jesus really changes people and how he can redeem us. We all loved it so much! ~Sarah S

🎄 A Second Chance Christmas - I had such high hopes for this one. I am obviously in the minority here because everyone else loved this movie. I so wanted to love it but I am embarrassed to admit I honestly did not. Don't get me wrong. There were some lovely things like a strong emphasis on faith and forgiveness. I especially liked the scenes with the older couple. Candace and Jonathon were their usual fabulous selves. However, the movie moved so slowly. I almost fell asleep multiple times. I wasn't expected to be so bored and wanted to be moved more. I feel so bad about not aligning with everyone else's opinion of this movie. It pains me to say this is definitely a one-time watch for me. ~Joan

🎄 We also enjoyed Candace Cameron Bure’s first movie, A Second Chance Christmas. It’s a great story about forgiveness, restoration and allowing God to make all things new. Robert

🎄 A Christmas Prayer Tradition – This movie is so beautiful and inspiring! This is such a wonderful choice for family movie night, especially if you're looking for a story that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas!

I was deeply inspired by the many acts of kindness throughout this movie, and how the characters continually looked for both big and small ways to answer the prayers of those around them. Of course, that doesn't mean they don't have their own doubts, struggles, and moments when trusting God's plan isn't so easy.

The sweet scenes between Caroline and her father, Wes (Christopher Russell), truly touched my heart. In one particularly meaningful moment, Caroline struggles to understand why God hasn't answered her prayer when, in the past, it seemed that something always happened whenever she prayed.

Caroline: Every time I prayed, something happened. Why not now?

Wes: Jesus works on His own timing. Not ours. We have to trust that He knows better than us, that His timing will be the right one.

Caroline: What if that isn't enough? What if I could be doing more?

Wes: It's not up to you to do more; it's up to you to trust God.

This was such a beautiful reminder that sometimes faith means letting go of our need to understand everything and trusting that God sees the bigger picture. There are so many other meaningful, touching moments like this throughout the movie, and Caroline's heart is truly something special. Her desire to reach out and help others is truly heartwarming!

The connection between Wes and Natalie (Shae Robins) is really sweet, too. From the beginning, you can see how much their relationship has grown and how they continually encourage and support one another, both emotionally and spiritually. It's lovely to see them walking alongside each other in their faith and relationship. And watching Wes prepare to propose, including the ring-shopping scene, adds some extra fun to the story!

I highly recommend this one for family viewing! It's refreshing to see a child who is far more concerned with granting the wishes of others than adding to her own Christmas list.

Overall, this is such a beautiful story about faith, kindness, and trusting God's timing. It reminds us that we don't have to do grand things to make a difference… sometimes the smallest acts of love can be the very prayers God uses us to answer! ~Net

Silver Bells at Christmas - October 17, 2026

🎄 Silver Bells at Christmas is a new favorite! Laura's singing is something special. Misty

🎄 Silver Bells at Christmas is a gorgeous movie! –Maria

🎄 Silver Bells at Christmas is really beautiful! Laura Osnes was amazing, along with the rest of the cast! Christie

🎄 I loved A Silver Bells Christmas. The music was so wonderful. I really enjoy movies that bring music into it. Great chemistry and loved how it ended. Great chemistry between the semi love triangle. Misty

🎄 Silver Bells at Christmas was a wonderful movie. I will be adding it to my must watch movies every year. –Ken

🎄 Review: Silver Bells at Christmas -
Family-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? Unfortunately, no -

I know, I am in the minority here, and I really wanted to like this movie (I mean, c'mon, Laura Osnes! Singing!!). And I thought I would, when I watched some behind-the-scenes footage where the actors were having a lot of fun!

Yes, this movie is sweet, and yes, it is faith-based, but...it is boring! No energy, no excitement, no enthusiasm. And it didn't feel like a Christmas movie, with fun and festivities. (Even the ending, where the girls are celebrating Christmas in matching pajamas - just so serious!) No, for me, it just kind of plodded along. The storyline was also weak - I couldn't get into the songwriting competition or the common save-the-shop plot. And except for Laura, the acting was sub-par (especially by the two guys) - too often it felt like lines were just being recited. Plus, the songs that were introduced...well, let's just say they wouldn't be on my playlist. So, I am sorry to say, this was definitely a one-time watch only for me.

The Laura Osnes in One Royal Holiday - a fun, energetic, sometimes silly person in a lively movie - that is what I want to see. Maybe next time. –Mark 25

🎄 Silver Bells at Christmas - I also had high hopes for this one. Filmed in my home state. The cast seemed to have a great time filming the movie. Laura is one of my favorite actresses. Family friendly and faith based. But, just like Mark25, I too am in the minority here because when all was said and done, overall, the movie left me feeling a bit cold. There was no chemistry between Laura and either male lead. The kissing scene(s) weren't believable. She had way more chemistry with all of the female cast members. It had the same over-used storyline. Both male leads acting was wooden as was the woman from Nashville. I kept waiting for something to happen but the story just plodded along. It also pains me to say this is definitely a one-time watch for me. ~Joan

🎄 Silver Bells at Christmas🔔 - This movie has such a warm, cozy Christmas feel to it! I absolutely fell in love with the sweet town of Comfort, Kentucky! One of my favorite things was getting to hear Laura Osnes sing in this Christmas movie - and with the handsome Chuck Wicks, no less!

The love triangle was a lot of fun, but I could totally tell where Laura’s heart was, so there was never really any doubt about who she should choose.

And Ryan McPartlin was ideal as the former childhood nerd turned successful handsome businessman who has a sweet little secret from the past!💕

I also LOVED all the It’s a Wonderful Life Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the movie, including seeing it play in the background of one scene! I have a feeling I’ll keep discovering more little references with every rewatch. So fun!!!

And all of the songs in the movie were so beautiful! I’m still singing and humming, “So as the snow keeps fallin’ - I keep fallin’ for you…” 🎶

I also really appreciated the adoption storyline and the reminder that sometimes making the right choice isn’t easy. But choosing love and doing what’s right, even when it’s hard, can be so worth it. Loved that!!!❤️

A few things, though, that I would change... I noticed the sister kept urging Laura to find love, but what about her? Didn't she deserve to find love too? And, I agree with Mark... loved the scenes when Laura was perky & happy - also would've loved more of them! And the store situation at the end - just wish that could've been different somehow.

Overall, though, Silver Bells at Christmas is heartwarming and lighthearted… perfect for a family movie night. Definitely one I’ll be “fallin for” over and over again!🎄✨ ~Net

🎄 Silver Bells at Christmas is a winner. Loved Piper. She did such a great job. All the songs were very nice. It was a fun movie to watch. Tyler singing Ginny's song at the end was a cool ending. ~Anonymous

🎄 Silver Bells at Christmas-I'm with Mark25 and Joan on this one. Maybe my hopes were too high, but it was really slow for me, I actually fast forwarded a few times. There were also a few things that I was not sure about--as an adoptive mom myself I love that they brought in adoption, I just would rather they gave the child a mom and dad. I have several single-mom friends, so I am in no way judging, but I do think that if you are purposing building a family, God's design is for a child to have both parents.

There was also a scene where someone said "Oh Lord..." but not as a prayer, more as an expression. I know that may sound extra picky t some but just my feelings. Overall it was fine for one time but very predictable and lacking some chemistry and depth. ~Lizzy R.

Christmas Prayer Tradition - October 24, 2026

🎄 I just watched A Christmas Prayer Tradition, and it met all my expectations. Loved all the characters. Even the publisher/marketing guy was well done. Caroline is so adorable and I loved the part with Katy's advice to the new teacher. A very romantic ending and I really do hope there is a third movie! ~Misty

🎄 A Christmas Prayer Tradition is by far and away 1 of the best films of this year!! –Maria

🎄 A Christmas Prayer Tradition - this sequel is beautiful! We really enjoyed it and might watch it again today. Christie

🎄 A Christmas Prayer Tradition was a great movie. I didn't want it to end. I love that Shae Robins is a Christian in real life. I love that about GAF alot of there actors believe in God. I hope GAF continues this series every year. - Ken

🎄 The faith in A Christmas Prayer Tradition is even more beautifully developed than in the original film. Shae Robins and Christopher Russell both deliver incredible performances. One of the things we especially appreciate about Great American Family is their commitment to telling stories that celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Robert

‘Tis the Season for Setups - October 16, 2026

🎄 Tis the Season for Setups is family friendly, and that's basically it. –Maria

🎄 Tis the Season for Setups - This movie was a cute one! First off, all of the Christmas decorations around the cabin and those aerial shots of the ski resort, beautiful! It was nice to see Barbara Niven as I only really see her in the Hannah Swenson movies and I kept thinking “hmmm she’s acting like Delores” 😂 especially when they went to the escape room. I also feel that Victor and Amanda were a good pairing, as well as their parents. ~Paula

🎄 ‘Tis The Season For Setups was an okay movie. It was family friendly so that’s nice. Most of the movie felt more like an old Hallmark Winter movie rather than a Christmas movie. I’m a huge fan of both Amanda Schull and Victor Webster and I feel like they were pretty good together. This wasn’t my favorite movie but close to the ending there was a very sweet, touching scene between the main character and her mother and I feel like that made up for some of the slower, less Christmas-y parts of the movie! ~Sarah S

🎄 Review: 'Tis the Season for Setups -
Family-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? A Mild Yes -

This movie is more about family dynamics than the romance between Amanda and Victor, and that for me is a plus. I enjoyed watching the relationship between Amanda and her mother and daughter play out, along with the relationship between Victor and his dad. It kept my interest from start to finish. And the connection between her mom and his dad - great chemistry! In fact, I felt they had more chemistry than Amanda and Victor! A couple of other problems for me: Amanda seemed to fluctuate between no-fun and wildly-fun too much. And she sure seemed to ski like a pro after not being on skis for a long time! Still, I'd give this film a go. –Mark 25

🎄 'Tis the Season for Setups - this movie had its moments. I liked Amanda Schull & Barbara Niven as mother & daughter, but... the storyline of Amanda's character, Lexi, being boring and too serious kind of dragged on for me. And the times she finally breaks out of her shell - seemed kind of forced to me, like she was trying too hard to simply enjoy herself.

Totally agree with Sarah S. - that it felt more (at times) like a Winter movie than Christmas. Amanda & Victor were sweet together; I really enjoyed his carefree, cheerful spirit. Overall, family-friendly, and the surprise reveal at the end with June & Dan was cute! ~Net

🎄 'Tis the Season for Setups - For the most part, I liked this one. It did not knock my socks off. It was nice seeing Victor showing a less stuffy side than we normally see. He was quite funny during most of the movie. I don't think he and Amanda had the best chemistry but they had some. I thought Barbara and Victor's Dad had better chemistry. Plus, it was nice seeing Barbara not be 'Delores' where she overacts. She was much calmer. Amanda's daughter was delightful and real snow is always a bonus! One-time watch for me. ~Joan

Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story - October 17, 2026

🎄 Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story - I watched The Holiday Touchdown Bears movie online. The movie was really well done, but the product placement was so badly done. The only part that wasn't good was toward the end with Darlene almost not going to the 500th game part. Otherwise, it was a fun movie and great chemistry. Misty

🎄 Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story - Hi Misty, Tell me about the product placement. Towards the end, a lady bought what looked to be groceries to Darlene's 70 year old friend, and the made sure to stop and pause on the Always maxi pads in the bag. I mean who were they for?????????? And just weird product placement, I mean who wants to see those kids of products other than when you have to use them???? It was so weird.

But I did LOVE the movie. Lyndsey and Robert were amazing. I loved the relationship Avery built with her stepdad. That can be so hard when mom or dad remarries later in life, and you come home and feel things are different. He just loved her and was ready when she was and it was a nice relationship building part of the movie.

Loved seeing Deb from One Tree Hill as her mom.

It was a great movie and I felt so much chemistry in the movie with all the ladies, the fans, the bar patrons. I LOVE NFL football, I play in 2 fantasy leagues and several pick em pools, but I was not interested in the Chiefs game for many reasons, and tried the Bills movie, but this movie was the bomb. I do not even like the Bears. It was done well, minus the maxi pads for the 70 year old lady product placement. I just can't get it out of my head. If they were trying to draw in men with football, they may have lost them there. Sabrina

🎄 I just watched the Holiday Touchdown Bears movie and it was good. Lyndsy Fonseca makes every movie she is in good though so it’s not a surprise! I am very much NOT a fan of the Chiefs so i didn't watch the movie with them in 2024 and last years Holiday Touchdown movie with the Bills was meh but this years was much better. It was thankfully family friendly! ~Sarah S

🎄 Review: Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story -
Family-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? Yes, but as a sweet story, not for the romance -

I did not watch the two previous Holiday Touchdown movies. Not because I don't like football - I do - but because I thought too much emphasis would be on football and the team and not much on a good story. If I want football, I'll watch football. But I wanted to watch this one because 1) I live in a suburb of Chicago and wanted to see what they would do with the team and the sights and 2) I really enjoy Lyndsy Fonseca.

And, at least for this movie, my suspicions were right. I enjoyed this movie but not for the romance between the leads. In fact, I thought it confusing. They went back and forth between really liking each other, then not being sure, then back to liking each other, then back...and so on. Maybe because the romance was secondary, it was not well developed. It just didn't ring true.

Yet, I enjoyed this movie. The plot - the main plot - is about a "gram's" 500th game...how she became a fan, her life now, and the working's behind the big celebration. This story was so well-told! And the acting by everyone - top notch! Yeah, they overdid it with the Bears talk and the Bears highlights and the Bears cameos. But still, I recommend the movie - for the sweet story that it is.

A couple of things worth mentioning...
* At the beginning, on the marquee of the Chicago Theater, they show 2 movies playing: Next Stop, Christmas and The Christmas House. Get it? But what is also funny is that this theater does not ever show films, only live productions.
* Christkindlemarket, which they actually advertise and where some of the characters spend some time, is shown without a crowd. Trust me, that place is jam packed whenever you go.
* It was fun to see some of the buildings and scenery in downtown Chicago, although sometimes a name was changed. –Mark 25

🎄 Holiday Touchdown - So I have never watched any of these football movies that Hallmark does now- no particular reason, maybe I thought it would be all about football & im only a football fan because my husband is but I never know what’s going on…. But I really enjoyed Robert in the Ted Cooper movie last year so I gave this one a shot.

The budding relationship between Avery and Matt was cute to watch, I felt they had a natural connection. I did feel bad for her relationship with her mother, though. She just always looked a little sad and the mom didn’t seem to notice…

The movie didn’t really give me that Christmas feeling and I didn’t care for the family dynamic, felt like something was missing, the stepdad seemed to care more than the mother, so probably a one time watch for me. But I’m sure this would be a great family film for anyone who lives in Chicago and is a Bears fan because of the cameos. I’m from CA so if this was a movie about the SF 49ers my family would love it 😊 ~Paula

🎄 I agree. It was a fun movie, but it wasn't a Christmas movie. Hallmark should have made it a Fall movie to me. Misty

🎄 Holiday Touchdown - This was my favorite movie that aired over the weekend! Marsha Mason was exceptional in her role. She was funny, sweet, outgoing and the perfect choice to play Robert's Grandma. I also thought Lyndsy was great. She has quickly become one of my favorite female actresses on Hallmark. She cracked me up more than once. Robert was a great match for her. I enjoyed their witty banter and growing affection for each other. Their chemistry wasn't on-fire but it was sweet and honest and I felt it worked.

The supporting cast was good as well. I especially liked Ron, her stepfather. I haven't been to Chicago, but I want to visit as I have several cousins who reside there. But I won't be visiting in the winter! ~Joan

Mr. & Mrs. Christmas - October 17, 2026

🎄 Mr and Mrs Christmas is an adorable treat for both the Hearties and Chessies. -Maria

🎄 Review: Mr. & Mrs. Christmas -
Family-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? Yes -

Wow, 'tis the season for family relationships on Hallmark! We've got "Tis the Season for Setups, in which a mom attempts to improve her relationship with her mom and daughter and a dad tries the same with his dad; we've got Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story in which a gramma tries to get her grandson into a relationship, and this one, in which a dad struggles in his relationship with his daughter. In all three romance between the leads takes a back seat to the family relationships, and I enjoyed them all - with this one being my favorite.

Brendan is perfect as the loving dad who is having trouble connecting with his daughter. On the advice of Pascale, he unfortunately overcompensates and drives a greater wedge between them. But (of course) he finally figures out the right balance and all is well between them. But before that, you really feel for the guy. Top notch acting by Brendan!

I loved the sweet storyline, and both Brandan and Pascale came across as sincere when trying to deal with this problem. And yes, you could feel the attraction between the two - the romance (although secondary) was well-played - you could feel the chemistry develop over time. And the actress who played his daughter - perfect!

Finally, that "uppie" at the end...oh, that got me!! This movie has a lot going for it, so I highly recommend giving it a watch, and for me it is a keeper that I will be revisiting again. –Mark 25

Mr. & Mrs. Christmas – I so wanted to love this movie. I mean – First of all, I love Pascale Hutton & Brendan Penny, so I fully expected to love this, too, but sadly no. Both Pascale & Brendan portray single parents – Sophie Shaw & Taylor Lewis. Her husband has passed away & he is divorced.

Taylor (Brendan) tries really hard to make his children happy this Christmas, especially his young teenage daughter, but the more he tries – the more resistant she becomes. So the movie is just one frustration after another.

The chemistry between Taylor and Sophie (Pascale) is good, but I wish we could've had more special moments with them outside of work. Their job is to create a festive Christmas Market for the community, but (SPOILER) Taylor’s over-the-top plans ruin the event and their budget. There’s even a second Christmas Market that is another flop.

Overall, while this movie is family-friendly and I adored the young boy who played Taylor’s son (he is such a cutie!), this is a one-time watch for me. ~Net

Winter Wonderlanes - October 23, 2026

🎄 Review: Winter Wonderlanes -
Family-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? Take-It-Or-Leave-It -

Not great, but not bad. It's your typical "girl comes home and saves this (fill in the blank)", although this may be the first time it's a bowling alley that needs to be saved. Very standard, very predictable, but it's pleasant. Okay for a late night one-time watch. –Mark 25

🎄 Window Wonderlanes - not my favorite. I usually like Ashley but this was not great. Allie B

🎄 Just watched Winter Wonderland and it was alright. I like Ashley when she is paired with a good actor like Small Town Christmas which is one of my favorite Hallmark movies. This actor was not the best actor for her. When I’ve seen him in other movies, I’ve really wanted to like him becuase he seems nice but something is just off and awkward. I feel bad even saying that 😬 The bowling alley was a fun setting and unique even if the storyline is a bit overdone! ~Sarah S.

🎄 Window Wonderlanes is pretty cute ~Maria

🎄 Winter Wonderlanes
I agree with most about this movie- it was just okay…. Ashley just kind of bores me now and I feel so bad to say that. She is beautiful and I’m sure she is super sweet in real life but I don’t know, her acting just falls flat for me in most recent years. The main guy wasn’t a good match so it made it even less appealing for me, I was doing laundry while I watched this which is never a good sign if I’m just letting it play in the background while I go about my day. The best part of the movie for me was seeing Mary Long. She is in my group of fave Hallmark grandmas/mothers 😊 ~Paula

🎄 "Winter Wonderlanes" - I am sorry, but there is nothing worth recommending on this one. We were so bored and gave up after around 20 minutes in. I would not recommend this movie even for a one-time watch. Such a disappointment. Joan

Forgotten Holiday - October 24, 2026

🎄 Forgotten Holiday is a fantastic movie! -Maria

🎄 Review: Forgotten Holiday -
Family-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? Nope -

As much as I really enjoy both Janel and Daniel as actors, and they are both good in this movie, the movie itself is, well, frustrating! Because (SPOILER ALERTS)...

* Wouldn't you think that the first question he would ask her after he loses his memory and she offers to help him is, "So, what exactly is our relationship?" or something to that effect. No, he never asks this until near the end. Really?
* They are supposed to retrace past steps to help him regain his memory. So do they revisit a lot of the places from their past year together? No, they decide for the most part to go to new places or do new things!
* Instead of his memory gradually returning, it is a little bit, then a little bit more (which by the way, for some reason he doesn't bother to tell her he remembers anything until later), then...wham! He suddenly remembers everything! Kinda unlikely!

Like I said, frustrating! I was frustrated in watching the actions of these two...not knowing how or when to communicate, not knowing what they should do...just frustrated at their ignorance! So that just makes the whole movie a no for me. (For a much better movie with a similar "amnesia" storyline, I recommend Time for Them to Come Home.) – Mark 25

🎄 "Forgotten Holiday" - Overall, we enjoyed this one. Very good chemistry between the leads. The Christmas Cookie scenes were a lot of fun. Every time I watch a movie with Daniel, I am amazed by how great his American accent is.

Also, the woman who played Daniel's mom has been one of my favorite actresses for years. She can convey so much with just one look. My only quibble was I thought they overdid Janel's makeup, in some of the scenes, which I know is trivial, but it was distracting. She is such a beautiful woman and I much prefer her with subtle makeup. Joan

What If Christmas - October 25, 2026

🎄 What If Christmas is a wonderful movie! –Maria

🎄 What if Christmas-
This movie was so sweet! I loved Tom Cavanagh with Lori in this one. I have only seen him in a couple movies, one being the mystery series with Kimberly Williams-Paisley, and he just has such a warmth to him. Although it was in the city it still had such a cozy feeling to it. Familiar storyline of getting a redo at life, similar to the one with Nikki and Andrew and the one with Vanessa and Corey “Take me back for Christmas” (that one is my fave of this storyline!) This one was very predictable of what she was going to do in her new life but still a good message at the end for those married couples in this season of life where they are supporting one spouse’s career. ~Paula

🎄 "What if Christmas" - Although my husband and I felt this one took a bit too long to pull us in, we were glad we stuck with it because it ended up being our favorite of the movies we watched. Now, granted we haven't watched "A Christmas Prayer Tradition" yet, so our view will probably change :-) but for now this sweet movie is at the top. I am always on board with films that ring true and are authentic and realistic in how they represent relationships. Lori and Tom's marriage had all of that. I absolutely loved them together. I also felt Lori's close friend added additional layers to the storyline. Some of my favorite movies have 'alternate lives' in them and show that the 'road not taken' isn't always 'flowers and sunshine'. This one is a keeper and I would definitely watch it again. Joan

A Proper Christmas -

🎄 A Proper Christmas is family friendly, and very sweet! -Maria

A Christmas Ornament to Remember -

🎄 Nicely's A Christmas Ornament to Remember is family friendly and quite cute (streaming on Xumo). -Maria

My Storybook Christmas With You -

🎄 Nicely's My Storybook Christmas With You is family friendly and quite charming. (streaming on Xumo Play) -Maria

🎄 I watched My Storybook Christmas With You and it wasn't my cup of cocoa. The plot was pretty bizarre with the whole boyfriend stealing everything & having to create another character out of the blue by Christmas Eve. The chemistry was missing all around. None were believable. The cabin didn't look anything like a cabin from the inside. Had zero Christmas feel to me.

It was the first time I watched a movie on Xumo, thanks for the heads up from Maria! ~Anonymous

The Nutcracker Wish -

🎄 Nicely's The Nutcracker Wish is family friendly (streaming on Xumo Play). –Maria

Honey's Christmas Wish -

🎄 Nicely's Honey's Christmas Wish is not family friendly. I was really distracted by something on my computer and I completely missed the 2 lesbians staying at the hotel. Really sorry about that! –Maria

‘Tis the Season for Setups

Storyline: Hyper-organized single mom and party planner Lexi (Schull), her free-spirited mother June (Niven) and teen daughter Piper (Verity Marks) are set to spend Christmas at a local ski resort after Lexi is hired to organize their annual holiday party. Upon arrival, she immediately butts heads with Ridge (Webster), the ski instructor and son of the lodge’s owner, Dan (John B. Lowe). Despite not getting along from the get-go, Lexi and Ridge notice a spark between June and Dan and decide to set them up. Lexi and Ridge create a multitude of festive excursions — and excuses – to bring them together but, thanks to creative machinations by June and Dan, these outings keep turning into foursomes. In the days leading up to the Christmas party, Lexi and Ridge’s attempt to pair up their parents brings them closer together, and their merry matchmaking ends in surprising results.

Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story

Storyline: When ambitious freelance reporter Avery Clark (Fonseca) returns to Chicago to spend Christmas with her mom (Woods) and new stepdad (Payton), she’s hoping for a little holiday downtime before her next assignment. Instead, she lands a feel-good story profiling Darlene Donnelly (Mason), a beloved Chicago Bears superfan about to celebrate an incredible milestone – attending her 500th game. There’s just one catch: Avery knows next to nothing about football or Chicago. Enter Darlene’s handsome grandson Matt (Buckley), a Chicago firefighter and die-hard Bears fan who, with a little gentle nudging from Darlene, agrees to show Avery what being part of Bears Nation is all about. As Avery follows Darlene’s remarkable story through cherished game-day traditions, festive Chicago adventures and memories of a love story that began at a stadium, she starts to understand that football is about much more than what happens on the field. And as sparks fly between Avery and Matt, this Christmas may just convince a woman who’s always on the move that sometimes the greatest adventure is finding a place, and someone, that feels like home.

As Taylor takes charge of the town’s beloved Christmas Market revival, he finds himself unexpectedly partnered with Sophie Shaw (Hutton), a practical accountant hoping to prove she’s ready for a new leadership role. Together, the unlikely duo brings fresh ideas, festive spirit and plenty of Christmas cheer to the community. But when Taylor’s well-intentioned efforts to help his teenage daughter backfire, he begins to realize that yuletide can’t be forced, it has to be discovered. As Taylor and Sophie grow closer, they learn that embracing change may be the key to creating new traditions and new memories.

NEW WESTERN ROMANCE SERIES

LOVE COMES SOFTLY

ATLANTA (Oct. 15, 2026) – UP Faith & Family, the leading streaming service for uplifting movies and series, is in production in Los Angeles on the all-new original series Love Comes Softly. Based on the best-selling book series by Janette Oke and popular movie franchise, Love Comes Softly is a heartwarming Western period drama set during the expansion of the American West in the 1880s.

********** End of Press Release **********

My Quick Take:

I'm absolutely delighted to see UP Faith & Family bringing this wonderful series to the screen again! I've read and loved Janette Oke's original Love Comes Softly books, so the news of a brand-new adaptation is especially exciting to me. (And I'm sure it's the same feeling for those of you who've read them, too!)

Of course, Hallmark brought its own adaptation of Janette Oke's books to the screen years ago. Now, it will be wonderful to see a fresh interpretation of these cherished stories. I'm so curious to see what this new chapter will bring!

These stories have such a timeless appeal, with their beautiful themes of faith, family, love, and perseverance.

Stay tuned for more details!

Blessings to you all,

Over the weekend, Great American Family started airing the special "Come Home for Christmas" commercial, an annual tradition I know many of us look forward to each Christmas season!

This special commercial always pulls at my heartstrings and takes me back to Christmases past at my grandparents' home, waiting for family to come home... aunts, uncles, and lots of cousins! So many sweet memories... it makes me tear up! I hope watching the commercial brings you joy, too!

Sam Jaeger and Ariel Winter Star Alongside Rachel Boston, Julie Gonzalo, and Kevin Vidal in New Hallmark Series 'Change of Heart'

noreply@blogger.com (Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie") — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 20:03:27 +0000

Hallmark announces new details on a new series coming first in 2027 to Hallmark+.

This new series titled "Change of Heart" stars Sam Jaeger, who many of you will recall from the much-loved Hallmark Channel Fall rom-com, October Kiss.

See details on who else stars in this series in Hallmark's press release below...

SAM JAEGER AND ARIEL WINTER

STAR ALONGSIDE

RACHEL BOSTON,

JULIE GONZALO

AND KEVIN VIDAL

IN CHANGE OF HEART

HALLMARK+ EXCLUSIVE

SCRIPTED SERIES

Production Began Last Month

The Six-Episode Season is Set to Premiere in 2027,

Exclusively on Hallmark+

BURBANK, CA – October 12, 2026 –– Jaeger (Parenthood, The Handmaid’s Tale, October Kiss) and Ariel Winter (Modern Family, Sofia the First) are series regulars, alongside Rachel Boston (The More the Merrier, Witches of East End, American Dreams), Julie Gonzalo (Supergirl, Dallas) and Kevin Vidal (Workin' Moms, Culprits and the Canadian Premiere cast of Come From Away).

"Great television starts with exceptional storytelling, and finding the right cast to bring those stories to the screen is just as important. We are beyond excited about the talented, seasoned actors bringing Change of Heart to life,” remarked Michelle Vicary, Head of Programming, Hallmark Media. “Sam, Ariel, Rachel, Julie and Kevin each bring something unique to these richly drawn characters, creating the foundation for a series that will immediately connect with the audience. As Hallmark+ continues to grow its slate of successful original programming, on the heels of standout series like Hope Valley: 1874 and Paris Is Always a Good Idea, Change of Heart underscores our commitment to delivering the heartfelt, premium storytelling that viewers come to Hallmark+ to discover and return to watch week after week."

“We’re excited to build on our longstanding Hallmark partnership with Change of Heart, following the success of The Way Home. We look forward to bringing audiences a fresh, character-driven series with humor, heart, and a distinct point of view,” said Hannah Pillemer, Head of Scripted, FOX Entertainment Studios. “Sam and Ariel lead a terrific ensemble in a world of unexpected connections, the kind of storytelling we champion at FOX Entertainment Studios.”

"It’s incredibly rewarding to see an original idea we’ve developed over several years coming to life with such an exceptional team,” remarked Liz Cohen, Keshet Studios' EVP of Scripted. “Sam and Ariel are perfect for Charlie and Brit, bringing warmth, humor and heart to two characters we’ve grown to love. We’re thrilled to be working with Hallmark and Fox to bring this funny, hopeful story about human connection to audiences.”

Charlie Wyatt (Jaeger) is the most unlikely of romantic heroes: a renowned divorce attorney known for winning no matter the cost. When a life-altering heart transplant cracks something wide open inside him, Charlie finds himself pulled— almost against his will—toward a more hopeful way of moving through the world. One where he's compelled to help others find their way back to each other in ways he can't explain. And alongside it all is his younger sister, Brit (Winter). An unexpected anchor, and partner-in-matchmaking that represents the emotional truth Charlie can’t out-argue: that love isn’t something you win or lose, but something you deserve and choose.

As previously announced, Change of Heart is set to premiere in 2027, exclusively on Hallmark+. Jonny Umansky is Creator and Executive Producer and Erin Gibson (The Chicken Sisters) serving as Showrunner and Executive Producer. Keshet Studios’ Liz Cohen and Keren Shahar also serve as executive producers on the series, alongside Peter Traugott and Heather Brewster. Change of Heart is produced by FOX Entertainment Studios and FOX Entertainment Global will distribute the series internationally.

What do you think of the storyline for this series? I think it sounds potentially interesting. I also think it was somewhat surprising (but in a good way) to see that Sam Jaeger will be the actor starring in this series - especially since we haven't seen him on Hallmark for over ten years!!!

I will look forward to hearing more details on this series and seeing a trailer.

Please share your thoughts in comments below.

Happy watching!

🎄🌟Our First Christmas Movie Weekend Is Here!!🌟🎄 New Great American Family Christmas Premiere + Hallmark Channel's Fall Finale

Happy Christmas Movie Weekend, Friends!!!✨🎄

I'm ecstatic that this is our very first weekend of the holiday season with a NEW Christmas movie premiere and classics airing 24/7!

Great American Family jumps right into the Christmas movie season with a new movie, A Second Chance Christmas, starring Candace Cameron Bure and Jonathan Scarfe! Will these exes find love again while being stranded together in a snowstorm?

And Hallmark Channel's last Fall into Love movie premiere, The Spirit of Halloween, starring Meghan Ory and Kevin McGarry, has the legendary A Christmas Carol story woven into it. I'm not typically one to watch a Halloween movie, but since this film follows the familiar Ebenezer Scrooge Christmas story we all know so well, I'm willing to give it a try. I'm just hoping it doesn't get overly spooky or dark.

See all of the details for the NEW MOVIES and MORE below...

But when her late mentor appears with a glamorous warning, Everly Stone is swept through one unforgettable night by three mischievous spirits who reveal the joy she lost, the people she’s pushing away, and the future she might miss if she keeps hiding behind work and fear. With a loyal assistant ready for more, a town waiting to welcome her back, and longtime friend Beau Madison (McGarry) still carrying a spark from their past, Everly Stone must decide whether Halloween is the night that broke her heart or the one that can finally help it heal.

I hope you all have the most wonderful weekend as we soak up these first little joys of the Christmas movie season! 🎄✨

I’m especially excited for Candace’s brand-new Christmas premiere and, of course, curling up with some of my favorite holiday classics along the way. There’s just something so special about this time of year when the Christmas movies begin again!!!!

One little viewing note: Since The Spirit of Halloween follows the familiar A Christmas Carol storyline, there may be a few moments that could feel a little spooky or intense for younger viewers. We all know the standard Scrooge story... so the movie will have the Ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, and I must say - nearly all of those older Scrooge movies when I was little always scared me with the creepy ghost of Christmas future - and even now, they still creep me out a little. (IYKYK!!!) I haven’t seen the new Hallmark movie yet, so I can’t say for certain how scary or dark it may be; however, if you’re watching with little ones, please use your own discretion or you may want to preview it first.

I'm currently watching the Great American Family Christmas movies as I finish writing this post this morning, and it's so beautiful to once again see so many movies I love, plus the commercials in between highlighting the Great American Family Christmas movies with the Christmas carols: Joy to the World and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing! What a blessing it is - to celebrate this upcoming Christmas season with you all and the True Joy of Christmas!

♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

"Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Let earth receive her King

Let every heart prepare Him room

And Heaven and nature sing

And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing"

♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

May every heart prepare Him room

- this Christmas season!❤️

Have a Blessed, Merry Weekend!

A Christmas Blessing

If you have the Great American Faith & Living channel, Christmas movies will also air there 24/7, beginning Thursday, October 8th. Along with the Great American Family Christmas movie classics, I also saw a few new acquired movies in the upcoming schedule, including A Cinderella Christmas (which originally aired on ION) and Love Always, Santa (which originally aired on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries). Both movies are fun, but I've always adored Love Always, Santa!

Love Always, Santa

Happy first weekend of October, everyone!🍂🍁

Fall truly feels like it's on the way now... and we are just one week away from NEW Christmas movies! Yay! I'm holding on tight to this extra special feeling of anticipation!

But before we get ahead of ourselves, there is plenty to enjoy this weekend! We are nearly midway through Season 2 of Crossroad Springs, and this weekend marks the final episode airing on Great American Family this year; however, if you don't want to wait for the rest of Season 2, you can keep watching episodes weekly via streaming on Great American PureFlix. (UPDATE: Season 2 will continue Jamuary 9, 2027 on Great American Family.)

And over on the Hallmark Channel, Fall into Love continues with a romantic fantasy that will whisk us back in time. The movie stars Julie Gonzalo and James Trevena, with a special appearance from Chris McNally - Julie’s real-life husband! That should be fun to see what role he plays.

'Blue Skies' Season 1 Finale Tonight + Start Streaming Season 2 Today

noreply@blogger.com (Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie") — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0000

If you've been watching "Blue Skies" on UPtv, then you already know that Crystal Ridge National Park is full of beautiful scenery and intriguing mysteries!

Tonight, you won't want to miss the thrilling season 1 finale - that will finally reveal some unanswered questions about a mystery from the past.

Episode 8 - Whispering Pines:
Bill, Jodi’s father, is deliberately run off the road and severely injured. Jodi and her team quickly uncover that the incident was no accident but a targeted attack resulting from an old cold case of his. Determined to solve the case once and for all, Jodi takes it upon herself to bring closure, all while her father fights for his life in the hospital.

I've had the opportunity to see this episode, and I can tell you... it's an intense and emotional one! There are plenty of questions, some unexpected twists, and a mystery that keeps you guessing right up until the very end. It's a satisfying way to wrap up Season 1 while leaving us with plenty to look forward to!

Don't miss the Season 1 finale of Blue Skies tonight at 9pm/8c. on UPtv!

And there's even more good news... Season 2 is also HERE!

If you've been wondering what comes next for Jodi, Blue, and the rest of the team, you won't have to wait any longer. Blue Skies Season 2 premieres TODAY on UP Faith & Family!

I was fortunate enough to screen the first two episodes of Season 2, and I'm happy to say... they are just as enjoyable as Season 1! It was so much fun seeing everyone again, especially Jodi and her faithful detective dog, Blue!

The first episode sets everything up with the welcome return of mostly all of the same characters from the first season. There's a new mystery that centers around a bike race through the park, and Jodi's friend, Ryan Miller, who is former police and current head of the search and rescue (SAR) unit - becomes the new interim sheriff, which places a new level of responsibility on his shoulders, while he still always finds time for helping out Jodi.

According to UPtv, season two will build on the stories and characters from the first season, including returning cast members Scarlet Hunter as Detective Jodi Larsen, Markian Tarasiuk (Mistletoe Connection, Virgin River) as Ryan Miller, Veronica Long (The Wrong Paris) as Detective Nora Esposito, David Lennon (Untamed) as Detective Alex Meeks, Darius Willis as Tyson Bernard and Shaughnessy Redden as Bill Larsen. Hiro Kanagawa (Star Trek: Discovery, Avatar: The Last Airbender) joins the cast as Superintendent Clive. Together, the team will tackle a whole new range of cases, their bond strengthening as a shadowy menace looms, threatening life well beyond the park borders.

If you love a good mystery, "Blue Skies" is definitely a series to keep on your radar!

Preview with Markian Tarasiuk:

So... be sure to tune into the season 1 finale of "Blue Skies" tonight on UPtv, and if you want to check out season 2 via streaming, you can go directly to the UP Faith & Family website or add it through Dish, Sling, Apple TV+, DIRECTV, Xumo, Spectrum, Amazon Prime Video Channels, Xfinity, Cox, The Roku Channel, and YouTube Primetime Channels.
