Who are the central pair?
Kathryn Davis plays Eva Jordan, a Christmas-loving decorator. She is hired to decorate a Manhattan penthouse for the holidays, as listed by Plex's movie page. The job puts her in charge of the film's holiday look.
Olivier Renaud plays Lucas Blade, a moody and reclusive writer. Plex describes him as unexpectedly staying home for the holidays. His resistance to Christmas gives Eva someone to win over.
What is the story about?
Eva arrives to turn the penthouse into a full holiday display. Lucas is present, distant, and uninterested in celebrating. Their shared space creates steady romantic-comedy friction.
Amy Force directed the 89-minute film. Its throughline is Eva trying to make Lucas fall in love with Christmas again. Decorating, conversation, and small seasonal moments carry that effort.
Who else appears?
The supporting cast includes Nigel Bennett as Charlie McDean and Randy Thomas as Ron Jordan. Kara Duncan plays Paige and Tonjha Richardson plays Dara Jordan. Plex credits list the four in those roles.
Two supporting characters share Eva's Jordan surname. The smaller ensemble keeps attention on the decorating job and the holiday household. Each supporting turn circles back to Eva and Lucas.
