The action will begin on June 26, with The Trouble with Mistletoe, starring Jillian Murray and Brett Varvel, making its debut on Thursday, July 9, on Great American Pure Flix and Saturday, July 11, on Great American Family and GFAM+.
According to the network, the new Christmas movie is set in a charming small town and "follows an ambitious acquisitions executive (Murray) who returns home for Christmas and unexpectedly reconnects with the former fiancé (Varvel) she left behind. As the traditions of her hometown rekindle old memories — and unfinished feelings — she begins to wonder if the life she walked away from may be the one she was always meant to embrace."
