What You Need To Know:

A ROYAL ICING CHRISTMAS is a Christmas romance on Great American Pure Flix and Great American Family. Princess Charlotte of Marovia finds her royal duties stifling and faces an arranged engagement. She embarks on a Christmas adventure in New England with her childhood friend, Kate. She meets Luke, whose family owns a local inn. He and Charlotte, who’s going by the nickname “Charlie,” become fast friends. They embark on adventures together, and perhaps something more. Charlotte’s self-discovery will shake the monarchy, heal broken relationships, and start new ones. 

A ROYAL ICING CHRISTMAS is a cozy, charming romance with some cute, funny moments. Little Sienna Cutone as Luke’s young niece enlivens every scene where she appears. Her positive view of life and princesses inspires others. However, A ROYAL ICING CHRISTMAS has a mixed worldview with Romantic, moral and Christian elements. It promotes the pursuit of personal passions but also stresses having a strong marriage with the right person. The movie also has references to the first lines of “Oh Holy Night,” the Christmas carol celebrating the Savior. A ROYAL ICING CHRISTMAS is funny and heartwarming.

Dominant Worldview and Other Worldview Content/Elements:

  Mixed worldview with Romantic, moral and Christian elements where the princess character goes to “find herself,” so self-actualization and aspiration and personal growth by focusing on dreams and passions play major roles in her decisions but the movie also focuses on friendship, true love and marriage with the princess using the royal head chef’s views on marriage and dreams as a roadmap (his wife supported his dream of becoming a chef to a royal family and give their children proper schooling), true love is defined as waiting for the right person, characters are respectful and kind to each other even when facing emotionally painful situations, characters work together to be supportive friends and family, and a group of carolers sing the first few lines of “Oh Holy Night” to the princess and her new romantic interest, the music of “Silent Night” is heard in one scene, and there are Christmas references throughout the movie, plus the movie has a positive view of America, and the freedom it offers people;

More Detail:

A ROYAL ICING CHRISTMAS on Great American Pure Flix and Great American Family is a Christmas holiday romance about a princess who takes a secret holiday of self-discovery to a New England town, enters a baking contest and finds adventure and romance. Princess Charlotte of Marovia is suffocating in her royal duties and is facing a soon-to-be arranged engagement just before Christmas. When her friend, Kate, suggests she sneak away to New England with her for a baking competition, Charlotte agrees. Charlotte thinks she should figure out who she really is before giving her life totally to the Crown. 

 With a strong moral worldview, A ROYAL ICING CHRISTMAS is a cozy romance that celebrates finding one’s dreams and passions in life and the meaning of true love despite the expectations of others. Charlotte is a real-life princess with no real-life experience outside of the duties assigned to her. She embarks on a secret adventure to discover herself before being locked into marriage: life, passion and love. While the acting could be stronger, the moral lessons are heartwarming and genuine. 

 The movie begins with Princess Charlotte of Marovia as a young girl sneaking into the kitchen to learn how to bake from the Royal Head Chef, Edward, and his daughter, Kate. When the Queen calls, Kate helps Charlotte clean up her dirtied gown. 

 Jump 15 years into the future. Princess Charlotte is now a picture-perfect woman of 24, still sneaking into the kitchen. Kate is visiting the royal palace from Florida but will be leaving for a baking competition in New Hampshire. Charlotte wishes she could vanish and wear comfortable clothing, but neither is permitted. Kate asks her to come with her, but Charlotte insists the Queen would never allow it. 

 Cut to a bed and breakfast in a New England town, where a family is dressed in Christmas sweaters, taking a family photo while engaging in light-hearted bickering. In contrast, the royal family in Marovia is formal and uptight as they pose for their holiday photo. The photographer even asks Charlotte to tone down her big smile to be more “proper.” 

 Reporters wait to speak to Princess Charlotte, speculating among themselves about rumors of her upcoming engagement to Prince David. They ask her if their relationship is one of true love or a matter of royal duty. She declines to comment. The Queen comments on Charlotte’s frazzled state. David says this has been arranged since they were children. Charlotte asks David if he wants to fall in love, see the world, or discover who he is beyond castle walls. He says he does love her but will not look her in the eye. He understands her hesitation. However, with the engagement three weeks away, he’s willing to let her take time to sort herself out. However, he warns her that she can’t escape her royal duties. 

Luke is a young man in New England helping his family’s inn. He’s still not over the heartache of his last relationship. Luke, his little niece, Lily, his pregnant sister, Laura, Laura’s husband, and their widowed father decorate the inn’s Christmas tree. Laura tells Luke that Jenny, the ex girlfriend who broke his heart, will be in town for the baking competition. He plans to hide from her for the entire week. He insists that avoiding her is the best approach. 

  Back at the palace, Charlotte runs to the kitchen to discuss her situation with Kate and Edward. She insists she can’t talk to the Queen about how she’s not ready for marriage. Charlotte asks how Edward knew his wife was the One. He explains that no matter what they were doing, she always made him feel at home. His wife gave up everything in Florida to move to Marovia so he could fulfill his passion of cooking for a royal family and having their children attend a “fine school.” Charlotte never had a dream or passion, with only family duties to “the Crown.” She realizes that she has three weeks before the engagement. She agrees to Kate’s plan to come to America secretly with Kate. Kate assures her that America is huge, and she will go unnoticed. 

 Meanwhile, Luke reads his niece a princess story at bedtime. He says princesses are boring, spoiled brats who only care about themselves. However, Lily insists they are magical and special. 

 Charlotte and Kate arrive in New England. Charlotte decides to book herself at an inn somewhere. She meets Luke after almost walking into traffic, and he helps her find a room at his family’s inn. He knows there’s more to this mysterious girl. Through their late-night baking talks, they become fast friends, helping each other while he avoids his ex-girlfriend. As she explores life outside the castle walls, Charlotte begins to realize things about life and dreams that may change the whole monarchy, and perhaps find true love in the process. 

 A ROYAL ICING CHRISTMAS is a cozy, charming romance with some cute and funny moments. Little Sienna Cutone as Luke’s young niece enlivens every scene where she appears. Her positive view of life and princesses inspires others. However, A ROYAL ICING CHRISTMAS has a mixed worldview with Romantic, moral and Christian elements.
