“A Brush with Christmas” is a stunning new original holiday film, which premiered on Great American Family.

The movie stars Jillian Murray and Joseph Cannata, and it premiered on Sunday, December 18 on the new network Great American Family. They are able to take their viewers on one memorable holiday adventure.

Over the week leading up to Christmas in the town of Bayside, Charlotte (Jillian Murray) tries to capture her own unique style in the local art scene while also helping her mother, run the family restaurant.

Disheartened and struggling to find time for her art, Charlotte throws out her latest painting, only to discover that it has been anonymously submitted to the Christmas art festival. It turns out that Wyatt (Joseph Cannata), a visiting artist, stumbled upon her discarded work and is now using the festival’s exposure to find its mysterious creator.

It is extremely well done and its message is moving and resonant. Joseph Cannata is audacious and dashing as Wyatt while Jillian Murray is irresistible and bubbly in the role of Charlotte. They have good on-screen chemistry together, and they are able to sustain the viewer’s attention for its entire duration.

Farrah Aviva is delightful as Ella. “A Brush with Christmas” earns two giant thumbs up, and hopefully, this is an indication that we will be seeing more of Joseph Cannata in the future in the romantic comedy world.
