Christmas... in the News: GAM Interactive Festival, Hallmark 2024 Ornaments & Maine State Music Theatre 'White Christmas'

 


Welcome to this week's edition of Christmas... in the news. This is a weekly review of some of the Christmas articles and news over the last week. So many interesting Christmas mentions lately. 

Since I happen to be at my desk on a Saturday, this news is coming a day early. The first bit of news sounds so fun!

People has reported on an announcement from Great American Media. This report shares about this winter's 'Great American Family Christmas Festival,' taking place from November 20, 2024 - January 5, 2025, at the UBS Arena in Elmont, NY. According to Great American Media, fans can expect "movie premieres, shopping, food and drink, photo ops ... and even meet-and-greets with the stars of some of the network's most popular movies." If that isn't enough, how about a nightly tree-lighting ceremony, a crafting village, and live entertainment? 

Since this takes place only 2.5 hours away from me, I really should make plans to go. You can read more about this exciting development by clicking this link

Can you ever have too many Christmas ornaments? We Christmas lovers probably don't think so. It seems Hallmark doesn't either. They have released 250 brand new Christmas ornaments this month. I didn't know that the tradition of Hallmark's summer release of their annual ornaments goes back 50 years! See this article in USA Today for more information

Our last stop this week is in Maine, where the Maine State Music Theatre is performing Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas' through August 3. My sister and I saw a local performance based upon the 1954 movie staring Bing Crosby. I would love to see this one in Maine. You can find out more information and buy tickets here.

See you next week!
