Candace Cameron Bure confirmed that her 2021 Christmas movie is already in the works and that she will be working with her "dream" Hallmark co-star.

While promoting her latest "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries" movie "Honeymoon, Honeymurder," Bure shared some details about her upcoming Hallmark holiday movie in an interview with Us Weekly.

"This is exclusive — I’m not going to tell you who it is, but I’m getting [my dream Hallmark costar] for my Christmas movie this year," the 45-year-old actress told the outlet Tuesday.

The "Full House" alum did not reveal the name of the co-star but said that her grandmother was holding out hope that she stars in a film with Andrew Walker in the future.

Bure has appeared in nine Hallmark Christmas films between 2008 and 2020, resulting in her being dubbed "Queen of Christmas."

During the interview, Bure also dished on her former leading men and which one she believes she has the most onscreen chemistry with.

"Let me start thinking of all my leading men. I do have to say that [I have] a couple of funny ones," she said.

Bure ultimately picked Warren Christie, who starred alongside her in 2020's "If I Only Had Christmas," explaining that she "loved working with him, and we do have another movie plan that we’re going to work together again. That’s how great it was."

When it comes to the Christmas movie she thinks deserves to get a sequel, Bure chose her 2018 film, "A Shoe Addict's Christmas," with Jean Smart and Luke Macfarlane.

"I would do 'A Shoe Addict’s Christmas 2,' for sure. Just at the chance to work with Jean Smart," she said. "But that was so funny, she’s like my little fairy godmother, so that would be a good one."

Bure also named "A Shoe Addict's Christmas" her all-time favorite among her holiday movies, sharing that working with Smart was an "unbelievable experience" for her. However, she is torn over whether it's better to have a magical element in the film or keep it classic.

"I really love both, which if you notice in my movies, it’s kind of one or the other. It’s either going to be the magical element, which was like 'A Shoe Addict’s Christmas' or 'Christmas Under Wraps' — and I love that the magical mystery of Christmas — but I really love the sentiment. I love the heartwarming stories," she added.

Last year, Bure shared a family picture to celebrate the holidays. However, in January, she slammed critics who posted mean comments about her and her family's poses and physical appearance.

"I wished blessings upon everyone as I shared it in the spirit of a happy new year, yet so many of you came back with jokes about our appearance and criticism of what you thought would have been a better photo. Shame on you. It doesn’t matter if you’re 10 or 90 years old, rude is rude. Be better than that," she wrote on Facebook. "I’m praying for humanity. Manners and respect. If you don’t like something, just move on. There are people and real feelings behind every screen."

"Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Honeymoon, Honeymurder" premiered on Hallmark Movies + Mysteries Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT.
