The Great American Family (GAF) network has announced its highly anticipated “Great American Christmas 2023” line-up. Set to captivate audiences, the network unveiled a 30-second trailer, offering a sneak peek into the 20 new premieres scheduled to grace screens starting in October and continuing through the holiday season.
The teaser promises a star-studded spectacle with beloved figures such as Candace Cameron Bure, Lori Loughlin, Danica McKellar, Chad Michael Murray, and more gracing the network’s third annual Christmas programming. GAF, known for its faith-based content, asserts itself as an alternative to Hallmark, particularly in response to what it perceives as an increasing presence of LGBTQ-themed films in Hallmark’s lineup.
Candace Cameron Bure, famed for her role in “Full House,” is set to take the lead in the heartwarming film, “My Christmas Hero.” The movie, centered around honoring U.S. veterans, follows an army reserve doctor (Bure) tracing her family’s military history with the assistance of a newfound romance portrayed by Gabriel Hogan.
Adding a familial touch to the festivities, Bure’s daughter, Natasha Bure, will headline “Christmas for the Ages.” The film, featuring an ensemble cast including Anna Ferguson, Kate Craven, and Cheryl Ladd, promises to be a delightful addition to the seasonal lineup.
The list of titles includes enchanting options such as “Royal Christmas Holiday,” “Bringing Christmas Home,” “Mistletoe Moments,” and “Our Christmas Wedding,” among others, promising diverse and heartwarming stories for viewers to indulge in.
