A woman and her best friend think they landed the job of their dreams by giving people a great Christmas until they get a client who doesn't feel the same way.
When it comes to male leads in Hallmark movies, there are a handful of archetypes they consistently use. The lonely, widowed single dad is most commonly used, but coming in a close second is the stuffy rich prince or business tycoon. This male character is usually aloof, and not a fan of the holidays. Although initially cold, he's of course sweet underneath and just needs the right Hallmark heroine to reignite his Christmas spirit.
In A Cheerful Christmas, actor Chad Connell plays James, a business running his family company who although well into his thirties, and for some reason I didn't quite get, still lives at home with his parents. Cue Lauren, the Christmas helper hired to plan his families holiday party and decorate every inch of the families huge estate.
The story's premise was fine enough, but the actress playing Lauren was more annoying than cheerful. Although most Hallmark movies feature characters full of holiday cheer, the character of Lauren was on overdrive. Thankfully, she was balanced out by the distant, but incredibly sexy Chad Connell.
The Canadian born Connell got his professional start in the late nineties and has appeared in a number of series including; Being Erica, Mary Kills People, Nikita, Faashpoint, The Good Witch and Degrassi: The Next Generation. Chad's been busy the last few years working in Hallmark holiday films, but many FH viewers may recognize the hot and talented actor from his role in 2015's Steel.
