Production Begins on Disney Channel’s New Movie, “Christmas Again”

Production on Disney Channel’s new original movie, Christmas Again has begun. The network announced today, November 11, that filming began in Chicago with Scarlett Estevez, Daniel Sunjata, Alexis Carra, Ashlyn Jade Lopez, Priscilla Lopez, Beth Lacke, Tony Amendola and Gary Anthony Williams.

“Christmas Again centers on Rowena “Ro” (Estevez), a high-spirited 11-year-old girl experiencing a lackluster Christmas. She’s not handling her parents’ (Sunjata and Carra) divorce well because she wants her life back the way it was—her parents back together, her dad’s new girlfriend (Lacke) and son out of the picture, and their family traditions to remain the same.

After a disappointing celebration with her family, including sister Gabriela ‘Gabby’ (Ashlyn Lopez), Abuela Sofia (Priscilla Lopez), and Abuelo Hector (Amendola), she makes a wish to a mall Santa (Williams) for a ‘do-over,’ and unexpectedly finds herself reliving Christmas day over and over … and over again. Now, in order to break the strange magical loop, Ro must learn to love her modern blended family as it is, as well as the true meaning of Christmas.”

The movie will premiere on the network in 2021.
