Great American Media Greenlights Third Film in A Christmas Prayer Series
Just two days post-premiere of A Christmas Prayer Tradition, Great American Media made an exciting announcement. The media company has decided to move forward with a third film for their cherished Christmas franchise, set for release in 2027. This new installment comes in response to the overwhelmingly positive feedback from audiences who have continued to resonate with the series' themes of love, faith, and solidarity.
The franchise began its journey with A Christmas Prayer, which notably clinched the prestigious 2026 Movieguide Epiphany Prize for Best Family Movie. The story follows beloved characters Natalie Sands, played by Shae Robins, and Wes Thornton, portrayed by Christopher Russell, in the idyllic setting of Bellford Falls. In this picturesque community, the narratives explore how heartfelt prayers spark action and lead to transformative kindness.
The recently released film, A Christmas Prayer Tradition, has allowed audiences to further connect with the characters and the beautiful essence of the season. Many are familiar with the remarkable performances of Shae Robins, Christopher Russell, and Madeleine Cox, who will all reprise their roles in the forthcoming production. Each actor's portrayal of warmth and compassion has left a lasting impact on viewers, solidifying their connection to the stories told.
Bill Abbott, the President and CEO of Great American Media, expressed enthusiasm regarding audience reactions: "The extraordinary response to A Christmas Prayer Tradition speaks to what makes our films different. Our stories celebrate the traditions audiences love while keeping the true meaning of Christmas at their heart. This is one of the many reasons viewers have made Great American Family and Pure Flix America's Christmas Destination," he shared, highlighting the importance of their narrative focus.
The third film is expected to encapsulate similar uplifting messages exemplified in previous installments, capturing how answered prayers can lead to acts of kindness that profoundly impact the lives of the characters—and the audience. As the film gears up for its premiere as part of Great American Christmas 2027, it marks a continued commitment from Great American Media to provide heartfelt and original Christmas entertainment.
Great American Media has rapidly established itself as a leader in faith-based family entertainment, establishing a diverse portfolio that includes the flagship network, Great American Family, and the popular streaming service, Great American Pure Flix. Additionally, there is a second linear service called Great American Faith & Living, along with an app, GFam+, allowing viewers to access content anytime, anywhere. The recently launched Pure Flix Familia is also garnering attention, designed specifically to celebrate Latino culture through curated and original entertainment.
The gradual expansion journey taken by Great American Media since its establishment in June 2021 attests to its growing influence. The creative direction spearheaded by Abbott emphasizes fulfilling a mission to connect viewers with uplifting, family-oriented narratives steeped in values of faith and kindness, reinforcing the positive impact of community and shared experiences.
As fans eagerly anticipate the return of familiar faces in Great American Christmas 2027, it is clear that the franchise's commitment to highlighting the significance of Christmas and compassion is only set to grow. The stories told through this rich, heartfelt series continue to strike a chord with viewers, reminding us all of the beauties found in faith, family, and community.
