The film is directed by Marita Grabiak, who is known for her work in the romance genre. Writers include Keith Hemstreet, Catherine Reay, and Kate Somerville. Andrew C Erin produced the film while Josie Fitzgerald was the executive producer. Here are the members of the cast that you will meet in this sweet Christmas movie.

Katie Cassidy

It wouldn't be a Christmas movie without a heroine who goes on a holiday and has a good old-fashioned meet-cute with a prince charming. Katie Cassidy plays Ava Jensen, who is set for a holiday full of love and surprises. The actress is known for her work in 'Supernatural' and the Selena Gomez-starrer rom-com 'Monte Carlo'. She is especially popular for playing Black Canary on the CW show 'Arrow'.
