The holiday season might be months away, but for fans of Great American Christmas, the gift-giving has already begun. Great American Media officially announced that production is currently underway for a brand-new original movie, One More Christmas, slated for the 2026 season.
The film stars the “Queen of Christmas” herself, Candace Cameron Bure, alongside Jonathan Scarfe, a familiar face to fans of heartfelt romance and intense dramas alike.
A Second Chance in the Smoky Mountains
In One More Christmas, Bure and Scarfe play Anna and James Campbell, a couple who has been divorced for five years. While they’ve maintained a “carefully managed truce” for their children, their boundaries are tested when their daughter invites the whole family to her boyfriend’s rustic Smoky Mountain cabin for the holidays.
In a classic twist of fate, both Anna and James arrive a day early to avoid one another, only to find themselves sharing the cabin just as the worst ice storm in a decade hits. Trapped in the mountains, the exes are forced to face their shared history—and perhaps discover that their love story isn’t quite over yet.
Spotlight on Jonathan Scarfe
While many viewers recognize Jonathan Scarfe from his roles in series like Van Helsing or the film The Equalizer 2, romance fans will remember him most fondly as George in the hit Hallmark movie The Dater’s Handbook opposite Meghan Markle.
His return to the genre alongside Candace Cameron Bure is a exciting moment for viewers who appreciate his ability to bring depth and charm to “second chance” storylines. Scarfe has been a staple in the TV movie world for years, and his chemistry with leading ladies always makes for a memorable watch.
Candace’s Busy 2026 Season
One More Christmas is just one piece of a massive year for Candace Cameron Bure. She is set to headline two original films for Great American Christmas 2026 and will serve as an executive producer on a third holiday feature.
“Candace Cameron Bure has an extraordinary instinct for stories that uplift, inspire, and reflect the enduring values of faith,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO of Great American Media. “Her commitment to quality storytelling continues to set the standard.”
The film is being produced by CandyRock Entertainment, with a script penned by Taylor Kalupa and Masey McLain.ears.
