2022 marks a turning point for Great American Family. Because the new company started last June, the network needed time to publicize the channel. As a result, its Christmas films got overlooked.

But the company hopes that using Hallmark Channel’s formula for debuting new holiday movies each weekend will work to make this year the one where its audience makes the switch. And the Great American Family channel has developed an impressive line-up of stars who left Hallmark. For instance, Candace Cameron Bure inked a contract to develop, produce, and star in movies for the new network.
