All About Mathison’s New Movie
According to Woman’s World, Cameron Mathison (GH, All My Children) and Jill Wagner (Teen Wolf) are starring in the new Christmas film, An Accidental Arctic Christmas. The synopsis is about a baseball player (Mathison) who looks forward to spending Christmas Eve with his daughter, Isla (Maya Rose Skabar).
She comes up with the idea of going on a cruise in the Arctic. At first, it sounds like a great idea until the cruise sets sail without them. The father-daughter duo meets Jane (Jill Wagner), who’s a wildlife conservationist who helps them get through this weird time.
Their trip becomes memorable as they explore the Arctic. Executive Producer Candace Cameron Bure shared the details about the film, “This story reminds us that the best gifts in life aren’t the ones we plan for. Sometimes you miss your boat, literally, and end up exactly where you’re supposed to be.”
Ushering in a New Christmas Film Era
This is one of the first 2026 Christmas films that GAF has announced. Each season, the network rolls out a lineup of original films that bring plenty of holiday cheer. Bure isn’t just an executive producer.
She will also star in two films in the 2026 lineup. In a statement to Woman’s World, President and CEO of Great American Media, Bill Abbott, teased why Mathison’s new film and others will have a different vibe.
“This year’s Great American Christmas represents a maturation of our business and the highest level of talent and storytelling we have ever brought to the screen. From beloved stars to richly layered stories, every film reflects our commitment to creative excellence,” he shared.
Great American Family is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year. And this new film marks a new era of storytelling. There’s no premiere date for An Accidental Arctic Christmas. It will be available to watch on Great American Family, Great American Pure Flix, and GFAM+.
