Cameron Mathison and Jill Wagner co-starred in A Merry Christmas Wish in 2022, and these fan-favorite actors are reuniting during Great American Christmas 2026 in a film executive produced by Candace Cameron Bure.
What Is An Accidental Arctic Christmas About?
An Accidental Arctic Christmas is about single dad, Jim (Mathison) and his spirited, science-minded 20-year-old daughter, Isla (Maya Rose Skabar), who share a tradition of alternating who decides how they spend Christmas each year. Jim, a former major league baseball player turned broadcaster, never misses hosting his annual Christmas Eve show from Times Square – until Isla persuades him to take a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic cruise, promising they will return in time for his broadcast.
When a timing mix-up leaves them stranded in an arctic town after their ship departs without them, their carefully planned holiday quickly turns into an unforgettable adventure. With no planes, trains, or automobiles available, they must rely on wildlife conservationist Jane (Wagner) and her rugged tundra buggy to navigate the frozen wilderness.
As they journey through the awe-inspiring Arctic – from the glow of the Aurora Borealis to the famed Polar Bear Capital of the World—Isla embraces the glory of nature, Jim wrestles with letting go of control, and Jane brings heart and charm to the path forward.
An Accidental Arctic Christmas Is Candace Cameron Bure's Third Movie for the Season!
Although Candace Cameron Bure doesn't star in An Accidental Arctic Christmas, she executive produces it in association with her production company Candy Rock Entertainment. It is currently filming in Canada.
This is Bure’s third film project for the 2026 holiday lineup. She stars in Home Sweet Anniversary with co-star Mathison, the third film in the Home Sweet franchise and sequel to last year’s successful theatrical film, Another Sweet Christmas. Additionally, Bure stars in One More Christmas with Jonathan Scarfe.
