Candace Cameron Bure fully embraced the holiday spirit during her appearance at the **Great American Family Christmas Festival** on Friday, November 22, at **UBS Arena** in Long Island, New York. The event, celebrating festive cheer, brought together a host of stars from the Great American Family network.
The 48-year-old *Full House* alum was all smiles as she posed with Santa Claus and mingled with her costars, including **Danica McKellar**, **Cameron Mathison**, and **Trevor Donovan**. As one of the prominent faces of the network, Candace has been a central figure in its holiday programming since joining in 2022, following a notable career with the Hallmark Channel.
In addition to her presence at the festival, Candace stars in the upcoming Christmas movie *Home Sweet Christmas*, part of the **Great American Christmas 2024 lineup**, alongside Cameron Mathison. Fans can also look forward to her next project, *Jingle Bells, Wedding Bells*, slated for release in 2025.
Candace’s shift to Great American Family in 2022 sparked conversations due to her comments about the network’s stance on same-sex couples, which led to public discourse. Despite the controversies, she continues to lead significant projects for the network and was recently cast in a new mystery franchise.
The event marked a warm start to the holiday season for the network’s stars and fans. It also follows news of a recent reunion for Candace, adding to her list of highlights this year.
