Production is now underway for “Home Sweet Christmas,” starring Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison (Drew Cain, “General Hospital”), Great American Family announced on Wednesday.
The movie, which premieres later this year as part of the network’s beloved Great American Christmas franchise, sees Bure playing the role of Sophie Marlow, a successful mergers and acquisitions attorney who is called home to Waynesbridge, Washington following her great uncle’s passing.
After Uncle Henry leaves Sophie 60% ownership in his Marlow Maple Meadows, a sprawling patch of sugar maple forest, she decides to pay a visit to the property for the first time in decades and immediately begins to trace her steps back to her youth before encountering an adult Sam (Mathison), her long-lost, childhood friend. Incidentally, Sam is also back in town to visit the farm after learning Henry left him the other 40% of the property. Although a legacy property generally means a quick sale is likely, Sophie and Sam will soon discover that neither of them is ready to let it go just yet.
A Syrup Studios production in association with Candy Rock Entertainment, “Home Sweet Christmas” is being directed by Paula Elle based on an original screenplay written by Kevin Commins and Robin Dunne.
Mick MacKay serves as producer, with Candace Cameron Bure, Ford Englerth, Jeffery Brooks, Holly A. Hines, Eric Jarboe, Gerald Webb, Trevor McWhinney, Paula Elle, and Martin Wood as executive producers. Supervising producers include Jonathan Shore, Robyn Wiener and Michael Shepard, with David Oland serving as associate producer.
A premiere date for “Home Sweet Christmas” has not been set.
