‘A Christmas Less Traveled’ with Eric Johnson

Most recently, she starred in the holiday rom-com “A Christmas Less Traveled” with Eric Johnson. “I loved the movie and I loved the script so much,” she admitted. “Viewer feedback was great and I am really happy that people loved it.”

‘Home Sweet Christmas’ holiday film on Great American Family

In “Home Sweet Christmas,” Sophie Marlow (Candace Cameron Bure), a successful mergers and acquisitions attorney, is called home to Waynesbridge, Washington, following her great uncle’s passing. Uncle Henry left Sophie 60% ownership in his Marlow Maple Meadows, a sprawling patch of sugar maple forest.

“I am super excited for the new movie with Cameron Mathison,” she hinted. “Cameron just walked in the building and I have yet to say ‘hi,’ but I can’t wait for that to be on Great American Family on December 1st.”

She was drawn to her character, Sophie, for the following reason. “I love that they are childhood friends,” she noted. “Long-lost childhood friends. That just made the connection so endearing, and effortless.”

An affinity for the holidays

She shared that she has an affinity for the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas). “I love the holiday so much,” she admitted. “My favorite part of the holidays is being with my family.”

“I like to be home, especially since I travel so much all year long. I can’t wait to settle in and be home,” she added.

Stage of her life

On the title of the current chapter of her life, she revealed, “Persevere in humility.”

Success

Regarding her definition of the word success, she remarked, “I know God… that is success.”
