Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison to Star in Jingle Bells, Wedding Bells for Great American Family
Great American Family is gifting fans of Candace Cameron Bure with not one, but two Christmas movies this holiday season.
TVLine exclusively revealed the title, premise and first photo from A Christmas Less Traveled, which centers on a down-on-her-luck proprietor (played by Bure) who embarks on a life-changing road trip. Now, Great American Family is announcing that Bure will also executive-produce and star in Jingle Bells, Wedding Bells, opposite soap vet Cameron Mathison.

The made-for-TV movie casts Bure as Gracie, the “Peachtree Inn’s perfect wedding planner and whose mantra — ‘No problems, only solutions waiting to be discovered’ — makes blushing brides’ dreams come true,” according to the official logline. “When Charlie (played by Mathison) brings his sister and future brother-in-law to their former hometown of Butler, S.C., expecting to create a magical Christmas Eve wedding at the Inn for Lindsay and Josh, the trio is stunned when Gracie stubbornly declines the job, saying it is not possible to pull off the perfect wedding two weeks before Christmas. Eventually, Gracie relents and agrees to plan the wedding, only to discover there are more hurdles to overcome than expected.” (TV Insider was first to report the news.)
Both A Christmas Less Traveled and Jingle Bells, Wedding Bells will arrive in November as part of the network’s annual “Great American Christmas” lineup. Beforehand, Bure will return to the Hallmark competitor to headline another movie, The Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Winemaker, which is expected to premiere in September.
