GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY ANNOUNCES JILL WAGNER AND PAUL GREEN SET TO STAR IN HOLIDAY ORIGINAL, "BRINGING CHRISTMAS HOME"
NEW YORK, NY - July 6, 2023 - Great American Family announced today Jill Wagner (A Merry Christmas Wish, Christmas Miracle For Daisy) and Paul Greene (I'm Glad It's Christmas, "When Calls the Heart") are set to star in the new holiday original movie, Bringing Christmas Home, which will premiere as part of the network's annual Great American Christmas franchise. Great American Christmas returns October 20 with original movie premieres Saturdays and Sundays, and 24/7 holiday movies through the end of the year. Holiday films fans need not wait until October as Great American Christmas in July returns to air on Great American Family beginning Friday, June 30 (6 p.m. ET).
In Bringing Christmas Home, retired military officer, now Military History professor, Caroline Upton (Wagner) is enlisted to assist antiques store owner, Russell Carlisle (Greene) in finding the family of WWII Army officer Orin Newton before Christmas with the hope of returning precious personal artifacts - Orin's dress uniform, medals, and a stack of love letters from his beloved Alice who waits for him back home. Epaulettes and insignia provide initial clues, though the search seems to dead end when Caroline discovers Orin was captured and listed as MIA. Caroline and Russell then search the love letters for clues as to what happened to Orin and whether he ever made it home to Alice.
Executive producers of Bringing Christmas Home are Brad Krevoy, Amy Krell, Lorenzo Nardini, Jill Wagner, Paul Greene, Mike Rohl, Jameson Parker, and Susie Belzberg Krevoy. Arielle Boisvert produces. Anthony Epp, Doran S. Chandler, and Bradley Goodman are Supervising Producers. Mike Rohl directs Bringing Christmas Home from an original screenplay written by Casie Tabanou and Alison Spuck.
