The Great American Family Facebook Live Event was such a delightful show!
I've embedded the video of the live show below, which aired for two hours. If you'd like the CliffNotes version, I give you a taste of the highlights here...
Cameron Mathison, always the charming host, kicked off the event with a conversation with Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott. The two reflected on the movies they've created together and discussed his upcoming film, Another Sweet Christmas with Candace Cameron Bure, coming this holiday season!
Although no clips from Another Sweet Christmas were shared, fans enjoyed a heartwarming moment from their first film, Home Sweet Christmas.
One of the big announcements of the night was the launch of Great American Family’s brand new streaming platform: GFAM+! This new service can be purchased by subscription monthly or yearly, and then viewers will be able to access all of the new movies on GAF commercial free!
The event continued with Danica McKellar sharing a scene from her beloved film A Cinderella Christmas Ball, while Trevor Donovan (with a new look - sporting a mustache!) treated fans to a clip from Jingle Bell Princess. Both stars reminisced about the fun memories behind the making of these festive favorites.
Danica and Trevor also unveiled not one but two sneak previews from their upcoming movie Grounded in Love, premiering Saturday, September 27, 2025, on Great American Family and even earlier on August 7th via Great American Pure Flix.
Later, Jillian Murray joined Trevor to present a touching scene from A Little Women's Christmas. Before wrapping up, Jillian revealed she’ll be starring in a new sports-themed Christmas movie for Great American Family, though that’s all she could share for now!
Author Ann Voskamp joined Cameron for a heartfelt discussion about finding peace, joy, and inspiration during the Christmas season, as we focus on its true meaning- Jesus!
The evening ended on a joyful note with Cindy Busby joining Cameron to chat about her holiday classics Crown Prince for Christmas and Joy for Christmas. The two shared plenty of laughs and warm holiday memories.
And of course, no Christmas event would be complete without a little fun, Cameron played a festive round of “This or That†with all of the special guests!
