NEW
YORK, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Great
American Family announced it has completed production on what is
sure to be one of the most anticipated new holiday films of the
season – A Christmas Less Traveled, starring Candace Cameron
Bure (My Christmas Hero, A
Christmas Present) and Eric
Johnson (Call Me Mrs. Miracle, "Flash Gordon") which
premieres this November as part of Great American Christmas
2024.
In A Christmas Less Traveled, "The Dine and Dash" diner
has a stack of mounting unpaid bills, forcing its owner,
Desi (Bure) to sell her beloved,
mint condition, cherry red 1964 Ford F-100, a gift from her
deceased father. As Desi visits the vintage truck one last time,
she discovers a recorded message from her dad on an old audio
cassette. Desi's Dad's voice sends her and "Old Red" out to retrace
her family's most memorable moments one last time. Just as the
journey begins, Desi 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 have ever known.
"Filmmakers have been inspired by road trips for as long as
movies have been made," said Bill
Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. "In A
Christmas Less Traveled, viewers will go on a scenic journey
with our characters to celebrate Christmas in communities and with
acquaintances, treasuring every heartfelt moment of discovery or
remembrance in a vintage vehicle that seems to magically know all
the right places to stop," Abbott concluded.
"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 and
CandyRock Entertainment CEO Candace Cameron Bure.
