The movie is based on Katherine Center’s bestselling novel “The Bodyguard,” and it also stars Andie MacDowell, Noah LaLonde, Walker Hayes, Toby Sandeman, Rachael Ancheril, Shaun Johnston, Phil Brooks and pop star Ava Max.

“My favorite holiday movies are the ones that leave me feeling good when they end. Also, they leave me wanting to watch them again, and they end up becoming a part of my routine and rituals when the season comes around, year in and year out. This one is special because I’m certain it will end up on people’s ‘must-rewatch’ list,” Jared told People about the movie.
