What to know

  • There’s a lot of money to be made in cheesy Christmas movies… Corny holiday movies might be considered less than by some, but people love them and that means it’s a lucrative business. Case in point, the ultra-conservative network Great American Family just lured Full House actress Candace Cameron Bure away from Hallmark by doubling her salary to $2 million per Christmas movie. Meanwhile, holiday film actors like Bure are making 5 figures per convention appearance. So laugh all you want at Hallmark holiday movies, cause they’re laughing all the way to the bank. 🎅🏻
