"With the third chapter of Sam and Sophie's story, we aim to portray how true love evolves, deepens, and ultimately strengthens the connection between two people," said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. "Sophie and Sam's journey will continue to resonate with our audience, and the threequel allows us to delve deeper into the richness and warmth of their love story," Abbott concluded.

In the enchanting third story in the Home Sweet Christmas franchise, Sophie and Sam embark to celebrate their first anniversary in picturesque Budapest, Hungary, a sprawling Christmas postcard city adorned with decorations and lights, a place one can almost smell the scents of mulled wine and gingerbread. What begins as a romantic first-year getaway quickly transforms into a lavish royal mystery when a charismatic hotelier draws the couple into a world of festive surprises. As Sophie uncovers a hidden connection to a beloved Christmas song, she and Sam must navigate the host's surprising twists to safeguard their love – and to rediscover the true spirit of Christmas.

A Sweet Christmas Anniversary is a Syrup Studios production in association with CandyRock Entertainment. Paula Elle directs an original screenplay by Robin Dunne and Arcade Riley. Executive Producers include Candace Cameron Bure, Jeffery Brooks, Ford Englerth, Holly A. Hines, Eric Jarboe, Martin Wood, and Paula Elle. Matthew West writes and sings an original Christmas song.
