Great American Family just announced some new additions to the upcoming Christmas movie LOVE AT THE KETTLE, led by Carlos and Alexa PenaVega.

In a press release from the network, it was revealed that Shazia Pascal (DESCENDANTS: THE RISE OF RED), Abbey Romeo (LOVE ON THE SPECTRUM), Victoria Pratt (LATE NIGHT), Victoria Jackson (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE), Kevin Valdez (LITTLE VOICE), Alan Powell (THE REASON), Dean Robin Shortland, (SURPRISED BY OXFORD) and Joshua Childs (DOLLY PARTON’S HEARTSTRINGS) will be joining the cast.

Marcus Johns (ROCK OF AGES), Natasha Bure (A CHRISTMAS FOR THE AGES) and Mario Lopez (SAVED BY THE BELL) are also set to appear.

“In LOVE AT THE KETTLE (wt), up-and-coming singer songwriter Bella Harlan (Alexa PenaVega) comes home for Christmas and enlists her high-school songwriting partner Jack Grayton (Carlos PenaVega) to craft a song to win back her rockstar boyfriend by Christmas,” a synopsis of the movie reads. “As the two reunite for the first time in a decade, they embark on a Christmas journey down memory lane, and soon realize true love may be closer than they thought.”

The synopsis continues, “The heart of the movie centers on Jack’s role with The Salvation Army, and Bella soon finds herself inspired by his devotion and passion to a life of doing the most good. Filled with charming original music and its share of twists and turns, LOVE AT THE KETTLE (wt) demonstrates the importance of never losing sight of the ones who matter the most.”

“This is our second film this year with Carlos and Alexa, and I am so excited to be reunited and working with them on a number of projects that are different from the typical rom com,” said Bill Abbott, President and CEO of Great American Media. “The PenaVegas are about faith, family, compassion, and love. With Alexa and Carlos starring in and co-executive producing with Mario Lopez a story that celebrates faith, Christmas, and one of the most beloved charitable organizations in America, The Salvation Army — it is guaranteed to be a winning moment for our viewers.”

LOVE AT THE KETTLE will premiere during GAF’s Great American Christmas lineup later this year.
