Christmas just wouldn’t feel complete without chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, and Candace Cameron Bure lighting up our screens on the Hallmark Channel. If you’re a fan of holiday cheer, you’ve likely noticed that the Fuller House star has become a staple in our festive viewing routines. By my count, she’s starred in six Christmas TV movies for the channel, including one every single year for the past five years. That’s right—Candace has officially cemented herself as a Christmas icon!
Now, for those of us who love to rank things (because, let’s be honest, everything is better with a little competition), we’ve consulted IMDb user ratings to sort all six of Candace’s Christmas TV movies. From the most heartwarming to the ones that might leave you scratching your head, here’s the lineup, from “holly and jolly” to “lump-of-coal-worthy.”
Journey Back to Christmas (2016)
Let’s talk about this one—it’s like a Hallmark version of Outlander! Candace plays a WWII nurse who, thanks to the magical powers of the Christmas Comet, gets transported through the decades right into the year 2016. Talk about a time-travel twist! If you’re a fan of history and romance, this one’s sure to tug at your heartstrings while reminding you that Christmas truly is the season of miracles.

Christmas Under Wraps (2014)
Here’s a story about chasing dreams—and maybe finding love along the way. Candace plays a third-year surgery resident who’s determined to follow in her father’s footsteps by joining a prestigious hospital fellowship. But when she gets put on the waitlist, she takes a detour to a remote Alaskan town called Garland. It’s there that she discovers the magic of community, holiday spirit, and, of course, a little romance. Think of it as a reminder that sometimes the best things in life come when you least expect them.
Let It Snow (2013)
Stephanie, Candace’s character in this one, is an ambitious hospitality executive with big plans to renovate a ski lodge in picturesque Maine. But as she sets out to make her mark, she finds herself clashing with the lodge’s ridiculously attractive property manager. Sparks fly—not just between them, but also in the snowy Maine landscape. This movie is a delightful reminder that even the most independent people can find love in the most unexpected places.
Switched for Christmas (2017)
This one’s a delightful twist on the classic “Parent Trap” and “The Holiday” formula. Candace plays twins who, despite having completely different lives, envy each other’s worlds. So, they decide to swap lives for a while. Of course, both of them happen to have incredibly charming men in their lives, leading to plenty of festive drama and romance. It’s the perfect movie for anyone who’s ever wondered what life might be like on the other side of the fence.
Moonlight & Mistletoe (2008)
In this heartwarming tale, Candace plays Holly, the daughter of Nick Crosby, whose year-round Christmas village, Santaville, is struggling to stay afloat. Holly, who’s been living a high-powered life in the city, returns home to help revive the family business. Along the way, she reconnects with her roots and, naturally, finds love under the mistletoe. It’s a story about family, tradition, and the power of Christmas magic to bring people together.
A Christmas Detour (2015)
Paige, Candace’s character in this movie, is headed to New York City to meet her fiancé’s parents when a snowstorm throws a wrench in her plans. Stranded at an airport hotel in Buffalo, she teams up with a fellow passenger who, despite being a bit obnoxious, is undeniably handsome. Together, they navigate the challenges of getting to their destination while learning a thing or two about themselves along the way. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best holiday memories are the ones we don’t plan.
