'Christmas Chalet': Release date, plot, cast, trailer and everything you need to know about UPtv's Christmas film

For her first Christmas after her divorce, Grace takes her teenage daughter to a chalet in rural Vermont but they are in for a surprise when they reach there

Going through a breakup or a separation around the holiday season is one of the most painful things that can happen to anyone. It is difficult for children to cope up since Christmas is all about spending time with the family. Divorce could be rough to deal with during this time and could push people into depression.

But with resilience and a punch of positivity, things can be set right and families can still be together on holidays only with a dash of Christmas magic! UPtv's upcoming film 'Christmas Chalet' is loosely based on this premise. Here's everything you need to know about the film ahead of its release.

Release date

The film will premiere on December 1, 2019. 

Plot

Grace is fresh out of a divorce and she has a teen daughter to take care of. Unfortunately, her daughter feels like the whole family is ruined forever. So, to rekindle the Christmas magic for her daughter, she books a chalet in a picturesque Christmas village in Vermont. Upon arriving, they find that the house has been double booked and now they must share their holiday with a grouchy writer who despises Christmas. Together, they'll learn that Christmas magic heals even the most broken of hearts.
