The General Hospital star and Candace Cameron Burewill will star in a new holiday film, Jingle Bells, Wedding Bells.

In the movie, Bure plays Gracie, an impeccable wedding planner at the Peachtree Inn.

These include Holly A. Hines, Eric Jarboe, Jeffery Brooks, Ford Englerth, Gerald Webb, Paula Elle, and Trevor McWhinney. The movie, directed by Paula Elle and written by Katie Main, was announced on Instagram by GAF.
