Candace Cameron Bure wants to spotlight ‘traditional marriage’ in Christmas movies after Hallmark exit

Frequent Christmas special star Candace Cameron Bure cited “traditional marriage” and Christian values as reasons for jumping ship from the Hallmark Channel to join the Great American Family network.

“I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core,” the “Full House” alum told The Wall Street Journal in an interview out Monday, when asked whether she believes her new TV home will air holiday content starring same-sex couples.

Hallmark is set to drop its first-ever holiday film in December that puts an LGBTQ romance front and center with “The Holiday Sitter.” Starring “Mean Girls” alum Jonathan Bennett, the movie centers on a man who starts up a romance with the neighbor he asked to help him babysit his niece and nephew.
