Mario Lopez is spreading festive cheer this holiday season by recreating his viral underwear photo. It’s not just any photo, though; it is a snap of the “Access Hollywood” host and Great American Family actor wearing bright red underwear while decorating his Christmas tree. 


Mario Lopez Impresses Fans

The photo first surfaced on the internet in 2012, when Lopez’s loving wife, Courtney Lopez, posted a picture on X showing him decorating their tree while standing on a ladder in a black T-shirt and red underwear. Their daughter, Gia, is also in the image, holding the ladder for her dad. It’s a moment that is equal parts sweet and hilarious. 

“My husband looks hot rockin his @RatedMOfficial with his little elf….#lovethem,” Courtney captioned the photo. At the time, reactions included, “Wow! He looks amazing lucky you Ms. Lopez :),” and “Wow, gotta get my hubby some of those & a tall Xmas tree!.”

People magazine thought it would be a brilliant idea to recreate this photo, 13 years later. They went to the family’s Los Angeles home for a photoshoot, and Courtney reflected on the original picture in an interview. “I was decorating a tree at our old house, and [Gia] was there, I couldn’t reach the star, so I asked Mario to do it, and she just [grabbed his legs] on her own,” she told People. “I happened to just have my camera, and I snapped that picture. The rest is history. It just went viral. We call it, at our radio show, the Lopezy.”


A Christmas to Remember 

The Lopez family also posed for photos together for their Christmas photoshoot. A picture shows Mario, Courtney, and their three children wearing matching Christmas pajamas. Even their three adorable dogs are involved in the picture. Family is so important to the Lopez clan, and Mario spoke about his love for his nearest and dearest in the interview. 

“It’s all about familia. Spending time together, drinking, eating, gambling, listening to music, watching movies and just checking out and focusing on what’s important,” he said of their priorities this festive season. “Not worrying about all the other stuff, just locking in and being with each other.”

On December 1, Mario and Courtney celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary with a cute Instagram video of them dancing. “Married to my favorite person to laugh with, dance with, and get lost in the moment with…Still crazy about you… and still surprised you’re still putting up with me,” he wrote in the caption. “Te quiero mucho mi amor.”

It’s going to be a wonderful festive season for Mario because, in addition to this photo, he is also the star of two Christmas films this year, which will air on Great American Family. “The Christmas Spark” is already airing, and “Chasing Christmas” will be available on December 21, People reports.

Great American Family star Cameron Mathison just melted hearts across social media after sharing a touching reunion with his daughter, Leila, in Paris. The actor, beloved for his roles on “General Hospital” and “All My Children,” posted the emotional moment from the City of Lights.


Cameron Mathison’s Adorable Father–Daughter Reunion Video Goes Viral

The Instagram video begins with the Eiffel Tower sparkling against the night sky, then cuts to Mathison walking down the street and looking up in surprise. His daughter is seen in a window above, reaching her arms toward him before rushing down to greet him. When she opens the door of the apartment building, she jumps into his arms, and the two share a long, emotional embrace.

Mathison captioned the post: “Paris is beautiful, but this was the real reason I came #fatherdaughterlove❤️”

Fans quickly filled the comments with love and support.

One wrote, “Awww beautiful ❤️ Enjoy your girl dad time xo 😘” while another added, “THIS is so Sweet to see~ :)”

A third supporter commented, “Love this Cam! Great to see you and your daughter having a blast! 🙌❤️”


The Former Hallmark Star Was Recently Forced to Confront Fans Over Online Hate

The warm moment comes just days after Mathison spoke out online to defend his daughter following an upsetting experience related to his “General Hospital” character.

He explained that Leila had stumbled onto a YouTube compilation criticizing Drew Cain, and after reading negative comments, she became emotional.

“This is a Facetime call I got from Leila and I screen recorded the call but I somehow didn’t get the audio,” he explained. “There was so much hate and aggression towards mostly my character but partially me too… and she was really upset and it bothered her… she couldn’t handle it.”

Mathison encouraged fans to remember that comments affect real people, saying:

“I guess I’m just putting out there that remember when you’re making these comments and saying things about people that they have kids and their families and good friends… I thought I’d just make this little Instagram reel to encourage people to keep that in mind.”

His message prompted support from fellow cast members, including Katelyn MacMullen who commented, “Love you Cam!” and Rory Gibson who added, “The most kind, chill, generous guy on set.”


Cameron Mathison Celebrates Family Moments Beyond Paris

This isn’t the first time Mathison has shared a heartfelt milestone with his daughter. In 2024, he posted photos of Leila dressed for her senior prom, writing:

“Leila, I want you to know that you are always on my mind and in my heart… remember no matter where life takes you always know that you are loved beyond measure.”

He added, “You are such an incredible daughter and I’m so proud of the person you have become. Love dad❤️.”

Cameron Mathison and his wife Vanessa share two children — Lucas, born in 2003, and Leila, born in 2006. Vanessa commented on the prom post, writing that she and Mathison are “lucky beyond belief ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

Candace Cameron Bure is opening up about her marriage of 29 years.

Candace Cameron Bure and husband Val Bure

Candace Cameron Bure and her husband, Valerie Bure, have been married since June 22, 1996. The success of their marriage involves having a realistic outlook. The former Hallmark actress and current Great American Family star is aware that, like any relationship, there will be highs and lows, and she has revealed how they navigate any challenges that arise in their marriage. 


Candace Cameron Bure Discusses Marriage

In an episode of the â€œStay True” podcast on Monday, November 17, the “Full House” actress discussed her marriage to Bure. “We had great years. We had some years I wish we could take back and do over. It’s a constant reevaluation,” Cameron Bure said. 

She also discussed how essential it was to have flexibility in marriage and how having children put pressure on the relationship. “You really, I think, year to year you have to re-evaluate what’s working, what’s not, how are the schedules changing, and you have to continually adapt to what’s new to figure out your rhythms,” she said. “And the rhythms are going to keep changing.”

Cameron Bure continued, “So having flexibility not only in schedule but with each other as husband and wife, because that’s the first thing that’s going to go. Your marriage gets put to the test because first of all, you have kids that come in and they demand all of you. Then they get a little older, and then they pit you against your husband, and you don’t even realize it.”

The couple are parents to three children: a daughter, Natasha, and two sons, Lev and Maksim. Cameron Bure discussed what she meant about the children pitting her and her husband against each other by giving a relatable example. “They’re going to ask you for a cookie, and you’re going to tell them no. And then they’re going to go to daddy, and they’re going to go, ‘But I’m having the cookie cuz daddy said yes.’ And then you’re like, ‘Why did you give that to her? I already told her no.’ And he’s like, ‘Well, I didn’t know that.’”

In the interview, Cameron Bure also discussed what she found worked for her and her husband, helping them keep their 29-year marriage strong. She spoke about finding “rhythms” and the importance of spending time together. 

She also stressed how important it is to have “time with you and your husband are going to be regardless, of career, but just in terms of children.” Cameron Bure continued to offer advice. “If I could lend you some advice that would be it is that you have to prioritize the relationship,” she said. “But I’m not talking about in a superficial way of like, ‘Oh, we just have to have a date night once a week.’ I’m like, ‘No, you need to figure out what’s important to your spouse and they need to figure out what’s important to you.”

That’s4Entertainment confirmed on Instagram that a beloved Christmas movie favorite has dropped out of this year’s Christmas Con.

Cameron Mathison, a longtime Hallmark staple who has since transitioned to Great American Family, will not attend the 2025 convention due to a scheduling conflict, organizers announced.

“Due to a scheduling conflict, our friend Cameron Mathison won’t be able to join us this year for Christmas Con,” the post read. “He will be missed dearly! But we’ve got some very merry news to make up for it… another surprise guest announcement is coming your way today!”

Mathison has not yet commented on the announcement.


Fans Disappointed as Cameron Mathison Cancels Christmas Con Appearance

Fans immediately flooded the comment section with disappointment and well-wishes. “We’ll miss you, Cam! We know it’s out of your control,” one fan wrote. Another added, “He’s always one of my favorites to see! Gonna miss you big time.”

Others were torn between sadness and curiosity. “We’ll definitely miss him! Can’t wait to see the new announcement though!” one follower said.

The announcement comes just days after Mathison promoted his latest Christmas movie, “Another Sweet Christmas,” describing it as “a celebration of love, faith, and the true spirit of Christmas.”

The actor also attended the Baby2Baby Gala in Hollywood the night before the news broke, writing on Instagram, “Very grateful and honored to be a guest at the Paul Mitchell table last night for the beautiful and deeply meaningful @baby2baby gala.”

Mathison first rose to fame as Ryan Lavery on “All My Children,” a role he played from 1997 to 2011. His performance earned him a Soap Opera Digest Award and multiple Daytime Emmy nominations. Since 2021, he has starred as Drew Cain on “General Hospital,” continuing his long run as one of daytime television’s most recognizable faces.

Outside the soap world, Mathison became a household name through his work with Hallmark Channel, where he starred in fan-favorite projects like the “Murder, She Baked” mystery franchise and numerous Christmas films. He also appeared in series such as “Castle,” “Desperate Housewives,” and “Hot in Cleveland,” and made his feature film debut in the 1998 movie “54.”

More recently, Mathison joined Great American Family, continuing to build his reputation as one of the leading men of feel-good television.


Christmas Con 2025 Still Promises Plenty of Holiday Cheer

While fans are disappointed not to see him at Christmas Con this year, many expressed excitement about what he might be working on next. As one fan commented, “I hope he’ll be back next year! I can’t wait to see what he’s filming.”

Despite Mathison’s absence, That’s4Entertainment’s Christmas Con lineup remains packed with festive stars.

The event, set for December 12–14 at the New Jersey Expo Center in Edison, will feature Hallmark favorites including Tyler Hynes, Andrew Walker, Paul Campbell, and Kimberley Sustad, alongside newcomers Jessy Schram, Marcus Rosner, and Travis Van Winkle.

And that surprise guest that was promised? None other than Jesse Metcalfe!

Erin Krakow’s Intriguing 4-Word Response to Whether Lori Loughlin Will Return to ‘When Calls The Heart’ https://entertainmentnow.com/hallmark/erin-krakow-on-lori-loughlin-wtch-return/?adt_ei=[email] https://entertainmentnow.com/hallmark/erin-krakow-on-lori-loughlin-wtch-return/#comments Sat, 08 Nov 2025 16:55:51 +0000 https://entertainmentnow.com/?p=5559388 Lori Loughlin, Erin Krakow

Six years after Lori Loughlin was removed from Hallmark's "When Calls The Heart," series lead Erin Krakow weighed in on her possible return.

When the 13th season of Hallmark Channel’s hit series “When Calls The Heart” premieres in 2026, at least two past guest stars will return to Hope Valley — Melissa Gilbert, who first joined the cast in 2024, and Brooke Shields, whose character hasn’t appeared in a decade.

That begs the question: could Lori Loughlin be close behind? On November 7, 2025, series lead Erin Krakow gave Us Weekly an intriguing four-word answer: “I sure hope so.”


Erin Krakow Says She’s Been ‘Hoping For Years & Years’ That Lori Loughlin Will Return to Hope Valley

Loughlin, who first rose to fame as Aunt Becky on “Full House,” played beloved “When Calls The Heart” character Abigail Stanton from 2013 to 2019. Hallmark cut ties with her during season six and removed her from the cast following her arrest and eventual jail sentence for her involvement in the largest college admissions scandal in U.S. history. 

But in recent years, many fans and former castmates have expressed hope, like Krakow, that Loughlin will be forgiven and allowed to return to Hope Valley.

Krakow, whose new movie “Christmas Above the Clouds” premieres on November 8, told Us Weekly, “I love Lori Loughlin, and I love the character she created, Abigail Stanton.”

Noting that Loughlin’s return is “something I’ve been hoping for for years and years,” Krakow told the outlet, “I’m very much a fan of hers and a friend of hers, so I really hope that it’s happening.”


Erin Krakow Advocated for Lori Loughlin’s Return in 2024, Too

This is not the first time Krakow has publicly advocated for Loughlin’s return. In 2024, she and her “When Calls The Heart” co-star Kevin McGarry both said they’d welcome her back with open arms.

“She’s an incredible person, a very dear friend,” Krakow said at the time. “She’s got a real good heart. People don’t even know how special a person she is, and it would be wonderful to have her back in Hope Valley.”

McGarry weighed in, “I think there’s been lots of people that (have) said we’d love to have her back. It’s not our decision of course.”

Even show co-creator Brian Bird said in 2023 that he was open to bringing Loughlin back on the series, stating on the “When Calls The Heart Aftershow” podcast that there had been “good conversations” about her potential return.

He said in that interview, “Our attitude always has been, you know as the producing team and the writing team around ‘When Calls the Heart,’ that what better place for second chances than Hope Valley. And so in theory, it should work, right? But again, can’t fully promise it but we’re working on it.”


Lori Loughlin is Navigating Split From Her Husband 5 Years After Serving Time for College Scandal

Following their 2019 arrests, Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, pleaded guilty in 2020 to charges of mail and wire fraud, per Us Weekly, after they and dozens of other parents were charged with paying to help ensure their teenage children were admitted to the colleges they wanted to attend. Loughlin and Giannulli’s daughters — Bella and Olivia Jade — were accepted by the University of Southern California.

In 2020, Loughlin served two months and Giannuli served five months in jail, per Us Weekly, and tried to move past the scandal together, with Loughlin slowly returning to acting, including two movies on Great American Family.

But in early October, after nearly three decades of marriage, TMZ reported that Loughlin and Giannuli had separated and were no longer living together.

Candace Cameron Bure shares why she decided to remove a revealing photo of herself from social media. The “Dancing With the Stars” alum explained that it wasn’t worth dealing with some of the negative comments, even though she wanted to share a “happy moment.”


Candace Cameron Bure Deleted a Swimsuit Photo

In September 2025, Cameron Bure posted a swimsuit photo on Instagram that she later deleted after receiving a flood of comments.

A fan asked on her Instagram Stories, “Did you post a bikini photo like yesterday then take it down?”

Bure responded, “Yes. I was at the beach. I was in a one piece, not a bikini. I am soaking up the end of the summer. I was having fun.”

She continued, “It wasn’t about my bathing suit or my body. But the comments became flooded with people discussing my body.”

“It wasn’t worth it,” the actress added. “I took it down.”


‘I Don’t Need for People To Pick Apart My Body’

In a November 2025 interview with Us Weekly, Cameron Bure further addressed the situation.

“I do feel confident and secure in who I am, however, I feel like there’s still always a pressure [to look a certain way],” she noted. “I do feel great. If my husband loves me and tells me I look great, then that’s all that matters.”

Cameron Bure explained that removing the Instagram post allowed her to avoid negative comments.

“People are always going to have an opinion, and sometimes you forget that for a moment because you’re like, ‘Hey, happy moment. Gonna share something,'” she said. “And then you’re like, ‘Oh, why did I share it?'”

The “Full House” alum continued, “In that case, I just felt like it was easier to take it down, because I don’t need to have controversy over it.”

“I don’t need for people to pick apart my body,” she added. “I’m like, ‘That’s fine, you can have an opinion. I’m just going to take it away so you don’t get to say what you want about that part of my life.’ And that’s fine.”

Cameron Bure also addressed her upcoming milestone birthday, noting that she doesn’t feel like she’s going to be 50.

“I think I’m always gonna feel like I’m 30. I think of [my real] number, and I’m like, ‘I’m that old?'” she said. “I guess I’m making myself excited about turning 50. I don’t know if I’m really excited about it, but I’m kind of, like, willing myself to be excited.”

Candace Cameron Bure shares what fans don’t realize about making Christmas movies and why her latest project is so special.

Candace Cameron Bure just dropped some behind-the-scenes truths that even longtime fans might not know. In a new video shared by Great American Family, the Christmas movie queen herself revealed what actually surprises people most about being on set; and let’s just say, it’s a lot more crowded than you’d expect.

The video also gives fans a sneak peek at the “Full House” alum’s upcoming holiday film, “Timeless Tidings of Joy,” which premieres November 15 at 8:00pm ET on Great American Family and streams November 13 on Great American Pure Flix. The movie’s got time travel with a 1940s setting, and even a sweet mother-daughter duo. Yep, Candace Cameron Bure is starring alongside her daughter, Natasha Bure. Basically, it’s giving classic holiday comfort with a twist, and we’re here for it.


A Massive Crew Gets It Done

It seems like fans picture Christmas movie sets as small, cozy productions (maybe a camera or two and a little fake snow) but Bure says that couldn’t be further from the truth.

“I think people don’t realize how many people it takes to make a movie. We have a crew of probably 200 people. As you can see, look around all the camera equipment, but there’s lots of people. Shooting this movie that takes place in 1945. We have incredible background actors, and they’re all dressed to the nines in their costumes, too. So much work and effort goes into it, but that’s how we make a beautiful movie for you.”

Let’s be real; when you’re recreating 1945 with full costumes, extras, and vintage sets, that’s no small feat. And somehow, Bure still makes it look effortless every single time.


Making Christmas Movie Magic

Believe it or not, these heartwarming movies come together quicker than anyone expects.

“Shooting a movie is probably faster than you think. It takes 15 working days to make one of these movies. I really wanted to do a time travel movie, and I worked with these two great writers that have written a couple of my other Christmas movies and an Easter movie, Macy McClane and Taylor Kalupa. Together, we thought of a really cool time travel story, but they really put all the details together and put a beautiful script.”

And this one’s extra personal. “This one was always meant for my daughter and I to do together. It’s a mom’s dream come true to work with one of your children,” Bure added. “Natasha is such a wonderful actress, and it’s just a blessing to me. I love being with her. I love working together. We’re living together while we’re making this movie. So it’s pretty special for me.”

While the two haven’t prayed together on set, Bure said, “I’m certainly in prayer every day over the movie.”


‘Timeless Tidings of Joy’ with Candace Cameron Bure

Between the nostalgic 1940s setting, the family connection, and the Christmas sparkle, “Timeless Tidings of Joy” sounds like the kind of movie that’ll have fans cozying up with cocoa and smiling through the credits.

Catch “Timeless Tidings of Joy” streaming November 13 on Great American Pure Flix and premiering November 15 at 8:00pm ET on Great American Family.

It seems like Paul Greene just gifted fans an early dose of Christmas cheer; and yep, we’re loving every second of it. The actor, musician, and all-around holiday movie favorite just shared a massive 49-photo slideshow from his time filming Hallmark’s “A Christmas Detour,” and honestly, it’s the kind of throwback we didn’t know we needed.


An Epic Paul Greene Throwback Post

“#ThrowbackThursday to my Second Hallmark Christmas movie — A Christmas Detour with the amazing @candacecbure. 🎄,” Greene wrote on Instagram. He went on to call it “one of the best sets I’ve ever been on — filled with laughter, Connevtion, love and memories. ❤️” Typos and all, that “Connevtion” honestly feels on brand; because fans know exactly how connected this cast still feels years later.

Greene added, “Hard to believe how much magic that movie created… and it’s still one of the fan favorites after all these years.” And let’s be real, he’s absolutely right. “A Christmas Detour” remains one of those comfort-watch holiday staples that people keep on their DVR year-round.

The slideshow played to Greene’s own song, “Bringing Christmas Home,” which he originally wrote for another Hallmark film of the same name he starred in with Jill Wagner. “Felt like the perfect fit for this throwback,” he said; and yeah, it really was. There’s something extra special about hearing his own music paired with the nostalgia of one of his earliest Hallmark hits.


Fans Are Still Obsessed With ‘A Christmas Detour’

If there’s one thing Hallmark fans know how to do, it’s show up in the comments; and they did not disappoint. One follower wrote, “It’s a tie between A Wish for Christmas & Christmas In Angel Falls. They are both so good! 🎄❤️” Another added, “Always love the way you bring Christmas Home @paulgreeneofficial 😍😍❤️❤️.”

Some fans admitted they never stopped watching, with one saying, “The best movie!!! I keep it recorded year round ❤️,” and another chiming in, “Just watched it on Hallmark. It’s a great movie.” Someone else summed it up best: “Loved this video and great bts photos! 😍 wonderful movie, cast and director! Like many, this movie kept me watching and loving all of your movies! 🥰🎄💚”

It seems like “A Christmas Detour” still holds its spot as one of Hallmark’s feel-good favorites. Fans can’t stop rewatching it, and let’s be honest; neither can we.


A New Holiday Reunion Is on the Way

But Greene didn’t stop there. He ended the post with a little gift for fans… a teaser for his brand-new movie Great American Family movie with Candace Cameron Bure. “Can’t wait to share my new movie with Candace — Timeless Tidings of Joy — coming your way this season. ✨”

So yep, the dream team is back together. If “A Christmas Detour” was magic, “Timeless Tidings of Joy” might just be the ultimate reunion fans have been waiting for. Between the nostalgia, the chemistry, and the promise of another cozy holiday story, it sounds like Paul Greene’s next project could be this year’s can’t-miss Christmas hit. Keep your eye on the Great American Family pages for all the updates.

Until then, fans can relive the laughter, the love, and all those behind-the-scenes memories in his slideshow; and maybe cue up “A Christmas Detour” for yet another rewatch. Some things never go out of season.

Former Halllmark star Cameron Mathison shared a beautiful tribute to his mother on the anniversary of her death. The “Hannah Swensen Mysteries” alum and Soap star noted that his mom died four years ago and he wrote that he misses her every day.

A post shared by Cameron Mathison (@cameronmathison)

On October 26, Mathison shared his tribute via his Instagram page. He included a wide variety of photos of his mom from over the years. Some were from the days early in her marriage, and several showed her with Mathison, his ex-wife, Vanessa Mathison, and their kids, Lucas and Leila.

One photo showed his mom by his side as he was going through cancer treatments. Another appeared to be Mathison with his father and brother. The photo showed the three men with their wrapped their arms around one another’s shoulders as they looked out at the ocean. It seems likely this was taken as the family bid a final farewell to Mathison’s mother.

In the caption of his new tribute post, Mathison wrote, “She fought such a brave battle with brain cancer, and even through it all, she never stopped smiling.”

He continued, “Just the most loving, devoted mom — always there for her sons, always giving, always full of light. She spent her life caring for others, working for the Ministry of Health of Ontario, and somehow still. had endless love left for her family.”

The first photo showed a vase of yellow roses with a framed photo of Lucas and Leila in front of it. Mathison noted in his caption that yellow roses had always been her favorite.


Fans & Colleagues Flooded Mathison With Love in Response to His Touching Post

Both fans and colleagues of Mathison’s flooded the actor with love and support in the comment section of his post.

Danica McKellar wrote, “So much love in these photos…”

Jen Lilley added, “Love you SO very much Cameron! Honored to call you friend. I know your mom is SO proud of you.”

Cindy Busby left a string of white heart emojis, and Mathison’s “General Hospital” co-star Finola Hughes commented, “Such an elegant lady, and beautiful on the inside.”

Mary-Margaret Humes, who starred in Hallmark’s “Christmas in Love” and “Dawson’s Creek,” commented, “Rest well sweet mom … your boy’s doing really really well … you’d be proud.”

Lacey Chabert sent her love to Mathison’s family, as did former pop star Debbie Gibson.

One fan added, “Her legacy lives through your kind and generous heart, Cameron.”

Another comment read, “Her warmth shines through these photos; such kind eyes & a beautiful smile…she is with you always! Sending lots of love & peace your way.”

The loss of his mother is just one of several heartbreaking journeys Mathison has had to navigate in recent years. He dealt with his own cancer diagnosis, and he lost his beloved dog Red a couple of years ago. He split from his wife, and in January, a wildfire completely destroyed the family’s California home.

Through it all, Mathison has focused on gratitude and perseverance, inspiring fans and colleagues alike.
