Candace Cameron Bure is preparing to spread even more holiday cheer thanks to Great American Media’s expansion of the Sweet Christmas franchise.
“The Sweet Christmas franchise is going to continue, and Sam and Sophie are turning Marlow Maple Meadows into an inn,” Cameron Bure, 50, exclusively tells Us. “It’s actually going to turn into a weekly series during Christmastime.”
The actress — who has played Sophie Marlow in three Sweet Christmas movies, including 2026’s A Sweet Christmas Anniversary — teases that the TV show won’t just focus on her character’s love story with Cameron Mathison’s Sam Stackhouse.
“Lots of people will come in and out of the inn and will focus on their love stories,” Cameron Bure says.
Cameron Bure announced during the Friday, November 13, episode of The View that the Sweet Christmas franchise will return in 2027 “during the holidays” as a weekly show, as different people “come and stay at the inn” as a way to explore their relationships.
“The extraordinary connection viewers have with Candace Cameron Bure, Cameron Mathison and the Sweet Christmas movies makes it an easy decision to create additional stories in the form of a series,” Great American Media president and CEO Bill Abbott said in a statement shared with Us. “We’re reinventing the Christmas movie genre with richer storytelling, memorable characters and original series that allow audiences to spend more time with the people and stories they love.”
Cameron Bure and her production company, CandyRock Entertainment, will produce the upcoming TV series.
While fans have to wait until next year to see how Cameron Bure and Mathison, 57, bring their iconic characters to television, their third rom-com together, A Sweet Christmas Anniversary, premieres later this month.
“We go to Budapest on our anniversary, but there’s a little mystery in this Christmas movie,” Cameron Bure tells Us of the latest holiday film, which will make its world premiere on Great American Pure Flix Tuesday, November 24.
Cameron Bure reveals that there is an original song by “a good friend” of hers, Matthew West, that plays a central role in the movie.
“He has honestly, hands down, my favorite Christmas albums of all time,” the Full House alum says. “I just love his Christmas music, so we incorporated his song into this movie. And it’s part of the mystery within the movie.”
Cameron Bure, who just won season 5 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, adds that the song and its meaning is much deeper than viewers might initially expect.
“It’s just another sweet song, and it does inspire romance and the couple who has a special attachment to this song,” she concludes.
A Sweet Christmas Anniversary focuses on Sam and Sophie as they travel to Budapest to celebrate their first wedding anniversary and toast to his directorial debut.
“What begins as a romantic first-year getaway quickly transforms into a lavish royal mystery when a charismatic hotelier draws the couple into a world of festive surprises,” the logline reads. “As Sophie uncovers a hidden connection to a beloved Christmas song, she and Sam must navigate the host’s surprising twists and turns to safeguard their love — and to rediscover the true spirit of Christmas.”
While Cameron Bure tells Us that it’s not easy to “have to reinvent the story every year of what’s going to make a good Christmas movie,” she has no plans to stop churning out holiday films.
“I love making these Christmas movies, and they’re running all the time on Great American Pure Flix. You don’t have to wait till Christmastime to watch them,” she shares. “You can watch them all year long, but hopefully I’ll never stop making them.”
A Sweet Christmas Anniversary premieres on Great American Pure Flix Tuesday, November 24, followed by its debut on Great American Family and GFAM+ Friday, November 27, at 8 p.m. ET.
