Candace Cameron Bure Talks Decorating for Christmas After Moving Into a New Home Outside L.A.
Candace Cameron Bure is looking forward to spending the holidays in her new home, even if that means hastily purchasing Christmas decor online!
“I just pulled out all the Christmas decorations yesterday to start decorating,” the GAC Family actress exclusively tells Closer. “I want to be fully decorated before Thanksgiving.”
“I realized a lot of the decor doesn’t quite go with the new house, or at least the colors don’t,” she says. “So, I have been sitting online and doing a lot of Christmas shopping late at night. I’m ordering a whole bunch of new decorations.”
The Fuller House alum previously revealed that she moved out of the Los Angeles area.
“We didn’t feel safe anymore,” Candace, 48, told Fox News Digital in April. “And that was the biggest reason that we moved.”
“Not everyone in Hollywood lives behind guard gates, and we weren’t behind gates,” she explained. “It’s amazing what people feel they can do. And wanting to be a part of your life in some way. Some of it is innocent, some of it wasn’t. But it’s quite unnerving when you’re just trying to be a person and live life, and you don’t know what’s around the corner.”
Candace also addressed a fan question in her Instagram Stories when someone asked her if she had moved out of her L.A. home.
“‘Why?’ Mostly for security reasons,” she responded. “Also, family dynamics have changed. The kids don’t live in Los Angeles anymore. Mama will go where they go! I travel a lot. The seasons of life.”
But the TV star is looking ahead to the holidays with a smile, eager to make memories with her family in her new space. Candace, who has been married to Valerie Bure since 1996, is a mom to kids Natasha, Lev and Maksim Bure.
“I’ve most mostly been based in that area my whole life,” she says of living in California. “We have mountains three hours away, so Big Bear, those are our local mountains.”
She also recalls early on in her marriage when she spent Christmases “in the snow.”
“I’ve lived in very cold cities after I got married, so I kind of lived all over the country,” she says.
Regardless of where she has celebrated Christmas over the years, her holiday spirit has never wavered. She recently celebrated the release of the holiday film A Christmas Less Traveled on Great American Family on November 16.
And fans will be getting double the holiday magic when her next Christmas film, Home Sweet Christmas, premieres on December 1 at 8 p.m. ET on Great American Family. She stars opposite Cameron Mathison in the film.
“I absolutely adore Cameron Mathison, and I have wanted to do a movie together for so many years and we’ve been friends for a really long time,” she explains. “And we finally got put together. And so, I found this script, Home Sweet Christmas. And they are two childhood friends that reconnect when my great uncle has passed and leaves the both of us his maple sugar farm.”
“What I love so much about this is that there’s instant chemistry with Cameron and with me and our characters because we’ve already known each other since childhood,” she says. “So, it brings you that nostalgic feeling in the film. It goes back in time. We see flashbacks of them together as kids, and then it’s kind of like they pick up right where they left off and just rediscover how meaningful their friendship is and that they might actually be their one true love.”
