Great American Media Sets "An Accidental Arctic Christmas," Reuniting Beloved Fan Favorites Cameron Mathison and Jill Wagner, From Executive Producer Candace Cameron Bure

NEW YORK, April 2, 2026 -- Great American Media announced An Accidental Arctic Christmas, reuniting beloved Great American stars Cameron Mathison (Home Sweet Anniversary, A Merry Christmas Wish) and Jill Wagner ("Lioness," A Merry Christmas Wish) premiering as part of the upcoming all-star Great American Christmas on Great American Pure Flix, Great American Family, and GFAM+.

An Accidental Arctic Christmas is a Magic Motion Media production in association with CandyRock Entertainment.

"This year's Great American Christmas represents a maturation of our business and the highest level of talent and storytelling we have ever brought to the screen. From beloved stars to richly layered stories, every film reflects our commitment to creative excellence. Our success as a business in the five years since launch has allowed us to reinvest in content that will yield our most compelling and complete Christmas slate to date and will be a true celebration of the reason for the season," said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media.

In An Accidental Arctic Christmas, single dad, Jim (Mathison) and his spirited, science-minded 20-year-old daughter, Isla (Maya Rose Skabar), share a tradition of alternating who decides how they spend Christmas each year. Jim, a former major league baseball player turned broadcaster, never misses hosting his annual Christmas Eve show from Times Square - until Isla persuades him to take a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic cruise, promising they will return in time for his broadcast.

When a timing mix-up leaves them stranded in an arctic town after their ship departs without them, their carefully planned holiday quickly turns into an unforgettable adventure. With no planes, trains, or automobiles available, they must rely on wildlife conservationist Jane (Wagner) and her rugged tundra buggy to navigate the frozen wilderness. As they journey through the awe-inspiring Arctic - from the glow of the Aurora Borealis to the famed Polar Bear Capital of the World - Isla embraces the glory of nature, Jim wrestles with letting go of control, and Jane brings heart and charm to the path forward.

This is Bure's third film for the 2026 holiday lineup. The "Queen of Christmas" stars in Home Sweet Anniversary with co-star Mathison, the third film in the Home Sweet franchise and sequel to last year's successful theatrical film, Another Sweet Christmas. Additionally, Bure stars in One More Christmas with Jonathan Scarfe, and executive produces An Accidental Arctic Christmas, currently filming in Canada.

An Accidental Arctic Christmas is a Magic Motion Media production in association with CandyRock Entertainment. Candace Cameron Bure is Executive Producer along with Jeffery Brooks, Ford Englerth, Tim Owens, Eric Jarboe and Holly A. Hines, and Robin Dunne. Caitlin Delaney serves as Producer. Michael Shepard, Justin Kelly, and Pino Halili serve as Supervising Producers, along with Kathy Ceroni and Laurie Singleton as Associate Producers. An Accidental Arctic Christmas is written by Robin Dunne & Arcade Riley.
