"In a Dream of Christmas featuring Andrew Walker, I envision a sequel set 10 years later, where our protagonists now have a family of three children.

However, everything changes when the main character makes a heartfelt wish," shared the actor from Gift of Peace in October 2022. "Thus, he embarks on a journey to rediscover his love for me and our family, seeking a way back to our once blissful life."
