A Christmas Blessing
Ho ho ho! Great American Family is bringing on the holiday cheer a little early this year, kicking off its Christmas movie slate in mid-October (and beating Hallmark’s Christmas movie schedule by one week!).
“Great American Christmas,” the network’s annual family-driven, faith-based programming event, will premiere 20 feel-good original movies every weekend starting Saturday, Oct. 14 and running through Saturday, Dec. 23.

If that’s not enough to keep your holiday cup full, Great American Family will basically be Christmas central with around-the-clock programming of festive movie favorites — both past and present — until the end of the year.
So make yourself a giant mug of hot cocoa, curl up in front of the crackling fireplace, and see which of the 20 new “Great American Christmas” movies — with the official loglines and casts below — piques your interest.
