‘Let it Snow’ on Great American Family

Category: Television and Streaming

Candace Cameron Bure and Jesse Hutch star in this holiday film that celebrates Christmas to the “n”th degree.

Bure is Stephanie Beck whose father Ted (Alan Thicke) owns a big resort company. After he buys a charming little resort in Maine, he dispatches Stephanie up to the property to see how they can remake it into a resort that fits his company’s design. All of their properties cater to young couples without kids.

Stephanie is at first a stuck up executive but once ensconced in the atmosphere of Snow Valley and taken in by the current owners, she begins to feel the Christmas spirit and relive some of her few holiday memories. Having been somewhat distant from her father after her mother’s death when she was six, Stephanie does not have the closeness with him she desires. And Ted definitely does not have an ounce of Christmas spirit.

Tasked with turning the resort into the newest “hot spot” for young up-and-comers, she gets to work checking all the things that need to be changed. What she discovers is that the resort has 100 per cent occupancy for a great deal of the year, and that’s due to all the families that return year after year to celebrate the holiday with the Lewis family who go out of their way to keep the traditions alive that were established years ago. How can she change this when it’s proven to be a winning routine?

Brady (Hutch) is the Lewis’ son who, in the beginning, does not get along with Stephanie and who has no desire to remain at the resort once her father takes over. But little by little, as he warms to Stephanie and sees how she turns from a stuck-up executive from Phoenix into a caring, Christmas-loving woman this endears her to him as well as to his parents.

Stephanie’s dispute with her father about the direction in which the resort should go causes a further rift between them. Is there any way she can break the ice around his heart so they can be closer and share the holiday together? 

Brady and Stephanie devise a plan, but will it be enough to keep the resort the family-friendly place it is or will it fail and will Ted’s plan to tear it down and make it into a hot new destination win?

As the week goes on, Stephanie and Brady grow closer and realize they have more in common than they originally thought. Plus, yes, they do fall in love.

The story might bring a tear to viewers’ eyes at the end. After all, it’s a Christmas miracle.

Let it Snow premieres December 8, 2024 on Great American Family.
