Production is set to start in December in the Greater Colorado Springs area.

Robertson will star as a popular social media influencer who visits her sister’s family for the holidays and takes it upon herself to save the Magical Christmas Parade with the help of her fans and an unexpected flame from the past.

We hope audiences find themselves not only entertained but reminded of the resilience of the human heart,” said producer Hawkins. “Pandora Persephone Films is excited to be partnering with Premiere Entertainment on this magical Christmas film set against the backdrop of the beautiful Rocky Mountains.”
