“The biggest theme that is most important to me in this film is the theme of God in our lives and the Christian faith,” she shared in a recent interview with CBN. “This is a Christmas movie that actually talks about Christ. And that’s another major theme that I have that I’ve never been able to talk about at length in my Christmas films.”
In this film, Bure plays real estate agent Maggie Larson. According to the film's synopsis, Larson and “her family will be spending Christmas with her recently widowed brother, Paul, and his young daughter at their house. Maggie is determined to give her brother and niece the best Christmas possible and to lift their spirits when they most need it. Though Maggie’s plan is to aid her brother, his faith and parenting style ultimately helps her to understand issues within her own life and a need for closeness in her own family.”
Bure revealed she still loves playing roles of the “big city girl in the small town” for Christmas movies but will now have faith in the forefront as well.
“I also want to make movies that have depth and purpose and meaning that can actually change someone’s life,” she added. “This movie’s so important to me.”
“A Christmas … Present” is the first faith film Bure has ever acted in and will have an encore presentation on Dec. 11.
The actress also lent her voice to the new animated CBS Christmas film, “Reindeer In Here.”
