It may only be the start of spring, but Great American Family is already decking the halls and getting a jump on the holiday cheer! The network is building excitement for its beloved Great American Christmas lineup—kicking off this October/November—and has just unveiled a sparkling new addition to the festive slate.
Great American Media has announced an all-star, family-friendly cast for the upcoming original movie Silver Bells at Christmas, which is currently in production.
Already buzzing with holiday spirit, the new film promises a cozy blend of music, romance and small-town charm. Read on for our exclusive first look at Silver Bells at Christmas!
Who will star in the movie?
The cast of Silver Bells at Christmas brings together a mix of familiar Great American Family faces and standout talent. Broadway favorite Laura Osnes (Broadway’s Cinderella, Bonnie & Clyde, and television films, A Little Women’s Christmas, Just In Time) leads the feel-good film as Ginny Nolan, starring opposite country musician Chuck Wicks as Tyler Benton. The ensemble also features Ryan McPartlin as Nick Day, Julia Reilly as Tyler’s agent Andi, along with Tanya Christiansen and D. B. Sweeney.
“I am having the best time on set with this incredible cast—the dreamy Ryan McPartlin, who I feel like I’ve known for years, plus so many old friends: Chuck Wicks, Julia Reilly, DB Sweeney, Tanya Christiansen and Taylor Kalupa. It’s been the most joyful reunion, bringing this heartfelt story to life on location in Kentucky,” Osnes told Woman’s World. “Audiences are craving stories of hope and faith, and Great American Christmas does just that. Silver Bells at Christmas is full of music (yes, we get to sing!), laughter and of course romance. I cannot wait for fans and viewers to see it this holiday season.”
“One of the benefits of Great American Media’s success is the incredible level of talent that is now drawn to us,” said Bill Abbott, President and CEO. “These stars will not only delight audiences during the 6th Annual Great American Christmas, but they enhance the quality of our library, which grows stronger every day and fuels all of our platforms.”
What is Silver Bells at Christmas about?
The official synopsis teases a heartfelt holiday story set in small-town Ohio: “In the town of Comfort, Ginny Nolan (Osnes) is determined to save her late mother’s beloved Christmas shop, Silver Bells, before costly repairs force it to close. When her former music partner—and almost first love—Tyler Benton (Wicks) returns home to host a Christmas songwriting contest, old feelings begin to resurface.
As Tyler’s agent, Andi (Reilly), puts on the pressure, he turns to Ginny for help writing the next great holiday hit. Meanwhile, ambitious entrepreneur Nick Day (McPartlin) sets his sights on buying the shop—forcing Ginny to choose between holding on to the past she cherishes or opening her heart to a future that could change everything.”
