Great American Christmas has just announced its 2026 lineup, and itâs shaping up to be a holiday season to remember! The network has secured some big names for its must-see programming, most notably Jillian Murray and Brett Varvel, who will be starring in their new film, “The Trouble With Mistletoe”.

Renowned for her role in the medical drama series “Code Black”, Jillian Murray will be taking on a new challenge by delving into the world of Christmas-themed romantic comedies. Her co-star, Brett Varvel, known for his work in faith-based films such as “The War Within”, will be joining her on this holiday escapade.

“The Trouble With Mistletoe” promises to be a delightful mix of romance, Christmas magic, and just the right amount of comedy. The plot centers on two seemingly mismatched individuals who find themselves thrown together during the festive season, through a series of unexpected situations involving mistletoe. As they navigate through the chaos and charm of the holiday season, they may just discover that they have more in common than they initially thought.

Both Murray and Varvel are thrilled about the project. “I am so excited to be a part of this film! I love Christmas movies and have always wanted to star in one. Working with Brett has been an absolute joy, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve been working on,” said Murray.

Varvel also expressed his enthusiasm about the film, stating, “I’ve always admired Jillian’s work, so getting the opportunity to work with her on this project is a dream come true. ‘The Trouble with Mistletoe’ is going to be a fun, heartwarming film that audiences will love watching during the holiday season.”

In addition to this exciting news, Great American Christmas has also revealed a host of other festive treats that will grace our screens in 2026. The network will be premiering a variety of other movies, series, and special programs all designed to bring the magic of Christmas to viewers.

Details regarding the release date of “The Trouble With Mistletoe” are still under wraps, but given the network’s tradition of starting its holiday programming in early November, viewers can expect this Christmas delight around that time.

So, mark your calendars and prepare your hot cocoa! With the combination of Jillian Murray and Brett Varvel’s talent, and the charm of a holiday-themed storyline, “The Trouble With Mistletoe” is sure to be a Christmas classic that will warm our hearts and homes in the 2026 holiday season.
