GAC Family, the network being launched by former Hallmark Channel head Bill Abbott, said it added three new holiday movies to its new Great American Christmas.

The network, now known as Great American Country, will officially relaunch on Sept. 27. It will begin its Yule programming on Oct. 24, with a special, Welcome to Great American Christmas.
