Candace Cameron Bure wants to put the “Christ” back in Christmas — and she’s saying the quiet part out loud with this one.
The Full House alum spoke to WSJ. Magazine about her festive career on Monday. Of course, the former child star is a made-for-TV-movie mainstay, having carved out a notable niche in the holiday world. Over the past decade, she’s starred in nearly three dozen films — 10 of which were Christmas-themed — for the Hallmark Channel.
But earlier this year, she left her legendary gig for a new beginning with rival startup network Great American Family. And it sounds like her faith was a big reason why she made the transition.

Bure drew some ire with these new comments to the online mag about her Christmas-y work. She didn’t call out her April departure from Hallmark specifically, but the 46-year-old did hint at what was behind the move. Explaining how the departure of former CEO Bill Abbott and others impacted the network, she said:
Seems innocuous enough, right? Leadership changes happen, stars move on, blah, blah, blah. So what? But the Fuller House star also said THIS about choosing to move over to Hallmark’s new rival:
Ummm…??
We know what that means. Traditional marriage? In 2022?! Really, girl?? As if there aren’t any LGBTQ+ love stories worth telling in a family way?? She went all in on that Jesus-centric vibe, too. Elsewhere in the interview, Bure added she’s inspired by how the Great American Family leadership group is full of “Christians that love the Lord”:
Yikes!!
The mag also interviewed the one-time Hallmark CEO Abbott about his departure and move over to lead Great American Family. He denied the new network
