‘The Christmas Contest’: Everything to Know About Candace Cameron Bure’s Hallmark Movie

The “Queen of Christmas” is back: Candace Cameron Bure is already at work on her newest Hallmark Channel holiday movie called The Christmas Contest. This time, she’s joined by her former Fuller House co-star John Brotherton. It’s the first time the two will reunite onscreen since their hit Netflix series ended in 2020. The news brought major excitement for Fuller House #TeamMatt fans, who rooted for Candace’s DJ and John’s Matt to be together. Now, the duo will star in The Christmas Contest. We’ve got details on their new film below, including some plot details, and other cast.


The Christmas Contest: Candace Cameron Bure and John Brotherton Reunite

The Christmas Contest “follows exes Lara and Ben as they compete in a Christmas contest to win money for charity. The city watches them battle and choose what is more important, victory or love” according to US Weekly. Candace Cameron Bure plays Lara, John Brotherton portrays Ben, and Barbara Niven will also star. The release date has yet to be announced.

Candace posted the good news on her Instagram account, alongside a photo of she and John, presumably on set of the film. She wrote: “Cat’s out of the bag! @johnbrotherton and I are together again! If you were #TeamMatt on Fuller House, you’re not going to want to miss our new Christmas movie 🎄! A Christmas Contest will air this holiday season on @hallmarkchannel . Once again, developed and produced by the incomparable @jimheadjr (this marks our 20th movie producing together) and me!”
