Summer is just starting, but Netflix is already getting into the holiday spirit. Rom-coms are taking over the season, with the streaming service now competing with networks like Hallmark and Lifetime for seasonal content. In 2024, viewers can look forward to a lineup of star-studded films that will surely get them in the mood for cocoa, caroling, and romance.

Earlier this year, Netflix announced its first three movies: Hot Frosty starring Lacey Chabert, Lindsay Lohan's Our Little Secret, and Meet Me Next Christmas featuring Pentatonix and Christina Milian. In May 2024, they added The Merry Gentleman to their lineup, starring Britt Robertson as a former big-city dancer trying to save her parents' small-town shop.

Britt Robertson shared in an interview with Netflix's Tudum about her character Ashley, a successful Broadway dancer who returns to her hometown. She faces the challenge of deciding her future while revitalizing her parents' business. Robertson expressed her love for spending time with loved ones, decorating Christmas trees, baking fresh goods, and celebrating life. She emphasized how watching a holiday movie with her favorite people reminds her of the importance of family and friends.

Chad Michael Murray stars in the film as Lucas, Ashley's love interest and a member of Ashley's Christmas-themed show. This is the fourth time Murray has played a character named Lucas since becoming popular as Lucas Scott on One Tree Hill.

Murray describes his character as kind, confident, and a bit sarcastic. Lucas is a contractor who assists the family that owns a bar called the Rhythm Room. He finds himself in a new and challenging situation that tests his comfort zone.

Murray explained to the streaming giant that he decided to take on the role because holiday movies bring joy and peace to many people during the holiday season. These films have the power to bring families together and provide them with enjoyable adventures.
