The film was written and directed by Ryan Landels, and it stars Lacey Chabert, Travis Van Winkle, Richard Kind, Christy Carlson Romano, Bryce Durfee, Taegen Burns and Asher Alexander, with Patrick Renna making a cameo.
Here’s the official plot description from the Hallmark Channel:
“Lindsey (Lacey Chabert) and her extended family head to Walt Disney World to spend a magical Christmas together. But the dream of a jolly holiday gets quickly dashed when Lindsey discovers her room is next door to Philip (Travis Van Winkle), a disastrous first date she recently had, who’s also there on a family trip. As Lindsey and Philip’s paths cross throughout their stay, the frost starts to thaw as they learn they’re not so different from each other after all. Thanks to some Walt Disney World magic, the holiday wish Lindsey made in Cinderella Fountain just might turn their rivalry into romance.”
Last year, the film’s stars were spotted filming around Disney World, and the official movie trailer shows specific Walt Disney World Resort attractions, locations, and resorts. Fans may recognize the Biergarten Restaurant in EPCOT, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Echo Lake at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Main Street, U.S.A. decorated for the holidays. In the film, the stars also wear Disney apparel, including holiday sweaters, Loungefly bags, and mouse ears.
