Production Underway On Sequel
Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison are back on set together for Home Sweet Christmas Wedding, a sequel to last year’s holiday hit Home Sweet Christmas. In a joint Instagram post announcing the news, the pair teased fans with a festive snapshot: Bure in a crimson coat and Mathison in a snowy-white sweater framed by twinkling Christmas garland. Production is happening now as part of the Great American Christmas channel’s 5th Anniversary TV special.
A Return To Holiday Romance
Last December’s Home Sweet Christmas introduced viewers to Bure’s wedding-planner-turned-bride and Mathison’s charming small-town pastor. The original film scored strong ratings for Great American Christmas and cemented a new partnership between the stars and the network. Now, the sequel brings those characters back for “a Christmas wedding to remember,” as the official caption promises, weaving new challenges, holiday traditions and an even bigger dose of yuletide cheer.
On-screen Chemistry Rekindled
Fans have long admired Bure and Mathison’s easy rapport. Bure, best known for her decades-long run on Fuller House and a string of Hallmark Channel romances, has become a holiday favorite. Mathison earned Emmy recognition for his long-running role as Ryan Lavery on All My Children before moving into hosting on Entertainment Tonight and Hallmark’s Home & Family series. Together, they blend warm humor and genuine emotion—qualities that made the first film a surprise seasonal hit.
In their Instagram announcement, Bure wrote, “Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison are back—this time for a Christmas wedding to remember!” Mathison echoed her excitement, adding that he’s “thrilled to reunite with Candace and the crew for another heartwarming story.” Neither star has revealed plot details yet, but both have hinted at “new surprises under the mistletoe” and “holiday magic.”
Great American Christmas 5th Anniversary Event
Great American Christmas launched five years ago as a spin-off of the Great American Country network, carving out its own niche in the booming holiday-movie landscape. The anniversary celebration will roll out a slate of new specials and sequels, with Home Sweet Christmas Wedding as a marquee feature. Network executives say the film will premiere in early December, kicking off a monthlong lineup of seasonal premieres.
Industry insiders note that Great American Christmas has steadily challenged larger networks by pairing established stars with fresh storytelling. The Bure–Mathison reunion follows recent GAC hits featuring Candace Cameron Bure in different holiday romances, signaling the network’s commitment to familiar faces and fan-favorite pairings.
Behind The Scenes And What’s Next
Filming is taking place in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the first movie was shot. A production insider tells us the crew has built an elaborate holiday village set complete with a snow-dusted chapel, twinkling lights and sleigh rides. Sources say the script introduces a meddling relative, a community-wide bake-off and a surprise snowfall that tests both star-crossed lovers.
While Bure and Mathison focus on this festive project, both continue to juggle other commitments. Bure recently published a memoir reflecting on her entertainment journey, and Mathison has been hosting a new real-estate renovation show on HGTV. Yet for both, Christmas movies remain a seasonal highlight—and a chance to reconnect with audiences hungry for heartwarming stories.
The original Home Sweet Christmas delivered nearly two million viewers on its premiere night. With higher stakes and fan expectations for the sequel, Great American Christmas has reportedly expanded its marketing push—complete with behind-the-scenes sneak peeks and cast interviews on social media. Bure and Mathison have started sharing short video teases, giving fans glimpses of their characters’ wedding planning and holiday décor.
As production continues through October, fans can follow the stars’ Instagram feeds for daily updates. Bure and Mathison both hinted that they’ll host a virtual watch party when the movie premieres, inviting viewers to share their favorite moments with a custom hashtag.
Whether it’s the sparkle of fresh-fallen snow or the promise of a holiday “I do,” Home Sweet Christmas Wedding aims to deliver all the cozy romance viewers crave. With two seasoned stars at the helm and a network celebrating five festive years, this sequel is shaping up to be the season’s must-watch event.
Home Sweet Christmas Wedding reunites Bure and Mathison in a story of love, laughter and holiday magic—sure to warm hearts as the Great American Christmas anniversary special unfolds.
