In a classic tale of seemingly mismatched lovers, Noemí González plays an up-and-coming pop star with an impressive set of vocal cords. The singer is back home to visit her family for the holidays, and we all know how those kinds of high-pressure dinners can go. For González's Jaylen, things get even more complicated. She brought a plus one along to the holiday get-together, and her date just so happens to be her bodyguard in disguise. 

Of course, in classic Hallmark fashion, plenty of hijinks and sweet romance ensue. It's a somewhat familiar setup that is sure to make you laugh and get you in the seasonal spirit even if it's way before the holidays. But it was more than just the festive cheer that inspired González to take on the role. In an interview with Fangirlish, González noted that she was sold the minute she read the script, which was written by Nina Weinman. 

The actor added that she felt "blessed" and "humbled" to have been extended the honor to portray the lead role. Not only did González find the script's writing beautiful, but she was also drawn to the theme of family as well as its focus on traditional Mexican holiday culture. "That was a big yes for me that [the movie] had so much of [my] heritage in [its] background," the Hallmark star explained.
