Candace Cameron Bure & Eric Johnson star in A Christmas Less Traveled
Great American Family has announced that production is complete on what is likely to be the most anticipated new holiday film of Great American Christmas 2024. A Christmas Less Traveled stars Candace Cameron Bure (My Christmas Hero and A Christmas Present) and Eric Johnson (Call Me Mrs. Miracle and Flash Gordon) and will air in November.
According to the press release, The Dine and Dash Diner has a mounting stack of unpaid bills. This forces its owner, Desi (Bure) to sell her beloved, mint condition, cherry red 1964 Ford F-100, a gift from her deceased father.

As she visits the vintage truck one last time, Desi discovers a recorded message from her dad on an old audio cassette tape. Meanwhile, her dad’s voice sends her and Old Red out to retrace her family’s most memorable moments one last time.
Just as Desi’s journey begins, she meets Greyson (Johnson) who offers her a generous payment in exchange for a ride to “close the most important deal” of his life.
Little do Desi and Greyson realize, the less traveled road will reveal more about each of them than they could ever have known.

Filmmakers have been inspired by road trips for as long as movies have been made.

“A Christmas Less Traveled gently challenges us to truly embrace every moment we share with our families, friends and loved ones. It reminds us that forgiving ourselves and others is the pathway to set ourselves free,” added executive producer, CandyRock Entertainment CEO and star of the movie Candace Cameron Bure.
