If a movie can make me forget the laundry waiting downstairs, it's already doing something right.

We all have our thing. You know...that one little thing that makes us smile after a long day. Mine? I love to plop down on the sofa, curl up with a warm mug of hot cocoa, and watch something that doesn't make me feel the need to repent afterward.
You know exactly what I mean.
Sometimes the world feels heavy enough. I don't always want another reminder of it. Sometimes I just want a story that lets me exhale. One that's thoughtful. Kind. Hopeful. The kind of movie that reminds me there really is still good in the world.
And if you happen to wrap that story in Christmas? Well...that's just icing on the gingerbread.
Recently, I had the opportunity to join an advance screening and live chat hosted by Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott, along with stars Jillian Murray and Brett Varvel, for the upcoming Christmas romance The Trouble with Christmas Mistletoe.
What surprised me wasn't the romance—although it's wonderful. It was the emotional maturity. This isn't a movie built on silly misunderstandings or exaggerated conflict. Instead, it asks a simple question: what happens when two good people carry the weight of past mistakes? That's where this story shines.
You'll find thoughtfulness. Kindness. Understanding. And perhaps most importantly...second chances.
The journey they take to get there is both believable and deeply satisfying.
Ready to watch?
You can always see what's currently airing on Great American Media and Great American Family by checking their schedule. Then grab your favorite blanket, pour another cup of cocoa, and enjoy The Trouble with Christmas Mistletoe. I have a feeling you'll be smiling long after the credits roll.
I would be remiss if I didn’t say this: the acting was phenomenal throughout…and the folks behind the scenes have certainly brought their ‘A Game’ to the productions. Oh and if you’re wondering, this screenplay was written by an amazing writer, appropriately named: Jennifer Snow. I know, I thought that was pretty cute too!!! Keep an eye out for all of the amazing Christmas programming the Great American Media family has in store this year. The inside track is that they’ve got a whole bunch of warm and cozy movies in store for their audience. You aren’t going to want to miss them!
Would you give someone a second chance if they broke your heart years ago? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
Delightful, Romantic and Easy to Watch (over and over again)
I love surprises. Little. Big. I’m an equal opportunity giver and glad receiver of pleasant surprises. And this movie, was a very pleasant surprise.

Quirky can be a wonderful thing.
I'll admit it—I went into this movie expecting one of those low-budget films that just never quite finds its footing. I couldn't have been more wrong. Give it a few minutes, and you'll find yourself completely charmed by the sweet awkwardness of two people discovering love in the most unexpected way.
I won't give away the story because it's one that's best experienced for yourself. I do hope Great American Media (and maybe a few other networks) bring it back again this Christmas season. There is one moment I personally would have handled differently, but it's certainly not enough to overshadow the heart of the film.
What stayed with me was how refreshingly different it felt. It's gentle, heartfelt, and just quirky enough to make it memorable.
The story is carried beautifully by Madeleine Coghlan as Alice Kerwin, Lior Selve as Oliver Kolby, and the ever-delightful Federico Dordei as Lorenzo, the manor's wonderfully unforgettable butler.
Here's my question for you: If you made someone a promise, would you travel alone to a completely different country at Christmastime to keep it?
Let me know in the comments—I genuinely want to hear your answer.

According To Jim: The Learning Curve (Family Comedy)
Julie Bergh has been telling stories for as long as she can remember. At five years old, she was already writing stage plays, casting her little brother in every production (with of course, the occasional bribe) and "inviting" her family to attend the latest performance in the basement—usually at the required curtain time of 6:30 p.m.
She’s written, produced and performed in several live stage productions as well as produced and written an independent feature film, a documentary and a live family night improvisation in her local community.
Today, she writes for television, film, and digital platforms, creating stories that celebrate faith, family, and second chances. Her screenplays have received recognition from WorldFest Houston, the Austin Film Festival, TVWriter.com, and Final Draft. Most recently, she was honored with a 2026 nomination from the Content Christian Media Conference for Best 30-Minute Teleplay.
For Julie, every story is an opportunity to offer hope and quality entertainment, to a world that needs both.
Join her on this journey - you won’t be disappointed!
Every single day, I’m thankful for the blessing of being able to hope, dream and put down on paper what’s rumbling around in my heart and mind.
I will say, awards don’t make us who we are. God does that. And quite honestly, there’s a lot of refining that he does in each of us to bring us to the point of hearing the words, ‘Well done.’ And no award or accolade could ever surpass hearing that! Everything else is just fun sparkle.
It’s with a humble heart that I list here a few of the things that have been a part of my journey, my development, and my school of hard knocks as a person, a writer and a producer.
Thank you for your time and God Bless,
Julie
