'Two old friends from high school work together over Christmas to sell his uncle’s Mexican bakery, famous for its magical gingerbread cookies that grant wishes.'
One of the reasons I first began the 12 Days series many years ago, was to defrock many of the 'wholesome' hunks on Hallmark. Hallmark Christmas movies are full of Princes, hard working single dads and earnest and lonely widowers. Females usually drive the story however, meaning so many of the male characters, as earnest as they may be, are often quite bland. It is fun searching out other parts played by the actors, especially if they contained a little skin.
I also loved discovering to men to enjoy and admire, actors I would not have heard of if not for their Hallmark holiday appearance. Actor Jon Ecker is one of those actors. In the lamely titled Gingerbread Miracle, Jon (sometimes credited as Jon-Michael) plays Alejandro "Alex" Casillas, the handsome nephew of the owner of a Mexican bakery. Maya, the female lead, is a freelance attorney, who uses the bakery, The Casillas Panadería. as her unofficial office.
Although Ecker is American, born in Texas, he moved to Mexico City after earning his degree in Aquatic Biology from UCSB. Ecker's mother is American and his father is Brazilian actor Guy Ecker. While in Mexico, Jon became famous in Latin America for his work in film and telenovela's, including his work as Aaron in the series Popland!
The sexy actor moved back to the States in 2014 and has been working steadily since. I hadn't seen the beautiful Ecker before this Hallmark film, but many of you may have seen him in his roles in television series including: NCIS: New Orleans, Criminal Minds and his regular roles in Firefly Lane, Chicago Fire and Queen of the South.
Although I hadn't seen him on film before, I will certainly be keeping my eye out for his future work. Ecker is gregarious, with and incredibly hot face, and beautiful bedroom eyes. Ecker comes by his looks naturally, as his famous father still gives him a run for his money in the 'who's hotter' department. Check out some of my favorite shots of Jon's father Guy Ecker on the the NEXT PAGE HERE:

Jon's only 'sort of' nude scene comes from his time on Popland!. The Columbian telenovela was produced by Sony Pictures under it's its production company Teleset for MTV Networks Latin America. Jon played Aaron "Ari" Morales, a handsome, sexy, smart, and uninhibited rock star. As hot as career is, Aaron struggles with his instant fame and success.
In the show's second episode, Aaron (Ecker) finds himself naked, jumping on the back of a motorcycle as he runs from the paparazzi. I could not find a really decent copy of the show, but did find a low quality copy on Youtube HERE:
