Can you feel it? That little edge of crispness in the air and the undercurrent of excitement in the stores? The holidays are right around the corner and you know what that means. Decorations, baking and family? Uh…no. It’s time to tuck into snuggly pajamas, grab a steaming cup of cocoa and curl up on the couch with your favorite holiday movies!
Every year,
Hallmark Channel outdoes itself on the family movie front and this year is no
different. With TWENTY-ONE new holiday features premiering on the network’s
"Countdown to Christmas" this season, there is
plenty of sweet, family friendly goodness to go around.
One of these movies
in particular has piqued my interest. It’s called Enchanted Christmas*. Here’s the description of the
movie:
Young
widow, Laura Trudeau (played by Alexa PenaVega) was a remarkable dancer. Now
working as a project manager in LA, she is tasked to renovate a rundown hotel
lodge, in her hometown of Rosemont, Utah and have it ready by Christmas eve.
She is stunned to run into her former love and dance partner Ricardo Archuleta,
(Carlos PenaVega) who she discovers is in rehearsals for The Christmas Eve
shows grand finale, with his new dance partner Taylor (Chelsie Hightower,
“Dancing with the Stars”). When Taylor has an audition abroad, Laura
once again finds herself back in Ricardo’s arms. Feelings are rekindled, and
with both the hotel opening and the show in jeopardy, Laura has to make some
difficult decisions, both personally and professionally.

Doesn’t that look
great? Who doesn’t love ballroom dancing? And you throw in Christmas?
Seriously!
If you thought you
recognized the main character, Laura, you probably did. Alexa PenaVega
skyrocketed to fame in the Spy Kids series of movies. Now she’s all grown up
and co-starring with her husband, Carlos PenaVega. They even contributed their
musical talents by recording one of the songs for the movie. Is there anything they
can’t do?
Enchanted Christmas airs on November 12th on Hallmark Channel
at 8:00 pm/7:00 central. Don’t miss it!
