12 Days: Nick Bateman in A Christmas Miracle for Daisy

'Whitney begins designing a Santa's float for the town's annual Christmas parade when a potential job opportunity comes her way: the full redesign of a landmark house by Christmas Eve. Despite the challenge, Whitney and Andi sign on to the job-- then discover the home's new owner is Whitney's ex-boyfriend Connor, who has moved to town from Los Angeles with his bright-eyed young daughter Daisy.'


First off, let me share I watched A Christmas Miracle for Daisy before realizing it first aired in 2019 on The Great American Family Channel.  I found a copy to watch on-line after discovering model and actor Nick Bateman was in the cast.  Had I known where it originated, even my lust for Mr. Bateman would have had me pass.  It wasn't until looking for the film's poster for this piece that I realized my mistake.  


Everything I've read about the network, including it's stance on marriage and LGBTQ issues, is so far from the Christian values that I grew up learning all those hours when I forced to go to Sunday school.  The movie was actually pretty slow, it lacked the magic Hallmark is usually able to muster up and produce.  Still.... Nick Bateman is totally watchable, even on mute, his handsome face and eyes light up the screen.


Models don't always make the best actors, but male models have had a great deal of success in television Christmas movies.  The acting isn't usually too heavy, and the skills required are a bright smile, and a craveable body, both things Bateman has in spades.


Bateman was actually one of the better actors in the film, a testament to the focus he's put into his acting career.  The Canadian born actor began acting on the Canadian version of the show 'Just for Laughs' about fifteen years ago and has worked steadily on-screen since.


Included in his on-screen resume are two films that smartly ensured we got a few brief glances at Bateman's beautiful butt.  You can check out caps and clips from those films; The Matchmaker's Playbook HERE: & The Perception HERE:
