"We love the formula of a holiday movie," he added, " did such a good job of giving people what they wanted and what we have come to expect in a holiday movie, while also completely turning it on its head." "This is my fifth holiday movie, and I'm always paired with a beautiful blonde girl who doesn't really love Christmas and is overworked and has to return home and she meets a handsome guy, and this time I got to play the beautiful blonde girl," he said with a laugh. "So, not only to be part of a show that we were able to accomplish during the pandemic, but also a show that is so unique and so important - especially during this time where there's a lot of division, there's a lot of uncertainty - I think it couldn't have come at a better time, and I'm really pleased to be part of it."įor Porte, starring in "Dashing In December" found him in a bit of a role reversal from holiday movies past. "I was shocked that I'd have any work at all this year," added Porte. I watched them, they're so lovely and I'm really glad to be in that company and to be opening the conversation to families because this is the type of movie that will be watched at home with your mom and your dad and your grandma, and it's a normal thing to watch and it would be lovely that that's the case." It does feel like a bit of a revolution, and it's always so good to be at the forefront of something that hasn't been done before," Di Pace told TooFab. Stream A New York Christmas Wedding on Netflix."It feels amazing. I would say the film is less about Gabrielle and Jennifer’s love story and more about Jennifer discovering what and who she wants. A New York Christmas Wedding is all about second chances and even has a religious storyline with Chris Noth as Father Kelly. Azrael turns out to be Jennifer’s guardian angel and gives her a life with Gabrielle (Adriana DeMeo). The falling out leads to a chain of tragic events, including Jennifer burying the side of herself that was in love with Gabrielle. In 1999, around Christmas, Jennifer (Camilla Harden) had a falling out with her best friend Gabrielle (Natasha Goodman).

Rent/buy The Christmas House 2: Deck Those Halls on Amazon. Stream The Christmas House on Hallmark Movie Now. In 2021, Hallmark made a sequel to this movie called The Christmas House 2: Deck Those Halls. The LGBTQ+ storyline was seamlessly and naturally added into the fold without Hallmark making a big deal about them being a same-sex couple, or adding any prejudice or coming out storylines. Brandon and Jake’s storyline was a subplot, but an important one as it dealt with them trying to adopt. The Christmas House was quite different from many Hallmark Christmas movies, in a good way-mainly because it dealt with more somber topics before it got its Christmas cheer. Ana Ayora plays Andi, Mike’s hometown love interest. Treat Williams and Sharon Lawrence play their parents. Jonathan Bennett plays Mike’s brother Brandon, and Brad Harder plays Brandon’s husband Jake. Quickly, Mike learns that this Christmas isn’t going to be as happy and magical as he expects. It follows the star of the fictional series Handsome Justice, Mike (Robert Buckley) as he heads back home to help his family turn their home into the Christmas house. The Christmas House is Hallmark’s first movie featuring an LGBTQ+ couple as key characters. (Image credit: Hallmark) The Christmas House (2020) ![]()
