I have more Christmas movie news, you guys! I feel so merry today!

Crown Media Family Networks has announced an exciting new deal with Country music superstar Blake Shelton. Last year, “Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas” premiered on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries network — a film based off of the book by Shelton’s mother Dorothy Shackleford, and inspired by a song from his 2012 holiday album Cheers, It’s Christmas.

The success of the movie has led to a development deal in which Shelton will serve as an executive producer of a new original movie. The all-new film will chronicle the emotional journey home at Christmastime and songs from Shelton’s library of Christmas music will be featured.

“The theme of making your way home at Christmastime to be with loved ones resonated with our viewers in the first film Blake Shelton produced for us,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Network Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. “We’re excited to offer a brand-new, heartfelt story with compelling characters our audience will connect with.”

I can’t wait to learn more about this movie as the year goes on!

Stay merry!
