The network announced on Tuesday, September 22, that the annual festive slate of movies will kick off on Great American Pure Flix Thursday October 8, with the world premiere of Candace Cameron Bure and Jonathan Scarfe’s A Second Chance Christmas.
The film will make its network premiere — and be available on GFAM+ — Saturday, October 10.
Cameron Bure, who is known as the “Queen of Christmas,” will star in two holiday flicks this year, and she’s not the only actor pulling double duty. Her A Sweet Christmas Anniversary costar Cameron Mathison is the lead in two features as is Ryan Paevey and Danica McKellar.
