Have you ever dreamed of Christmas being every day?  That’s about to come “true” for a character in the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie, “Christmas Again”!

This heartwarming holiday comedy, with production underway in Chicago, centers on Rowena “Ro” (Scarlett Estevez, “BUNK’D”), a high-spirited 11-year-old girl experiencing a lackluster Christmas. Ro isn’t handling her parents’, played by Daniel Sunjata (“Manifest”, “Rescue Me”, “Graceland”) and Alexis Carra (“Fosse/Verdon”), divorce well because she wants her life back the way it was—her parents back together, her dad’s new girlfriend (Beth Lacke, “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) and son out of the picture, and their family traditions to remain the same.

After a disappointing holiday celebration with her family, including sister Gabriela “Gabby” (Ashlyn Jade Lopez), Abuela Sofia (Priscilla Lopez, Broadway’s “A Chorus Line”), and Abuelo Hector (Tony Amendola, “Annabelle”), Ro makes a Christmas wish to a mall Santa Claus (Gary Anthony Williams, “Star Wars Resistance”) for a “do-over,” and unexpectedly finds herself reliving Christmas day over and over … and over again.  In order to break the strange magical loop, Ro must learn to love her modern blended family as it is, as well as the true meaning of Christmas.

“Christmas Again” is written by Doan La (“Keep Hope Alive”).  Andy Fickman (“Race to Witch Mountain”) is directing and will serve as an executive producer with long-time producing partner Betsy Sullenger, reuniting the successful team behind the Disney Channel hit series “Liv & Maddie.”

A release date has not been announced, but when I know, you will too!

Stay merry!
