A Royal Montana Christmas
Onto the big premiere of the day which is A Royal Montana Christmas. Describing this movie, Hallmark said: “Overwhelmed by her royal duties during the Christmas season, Princess Victoria of Zelarnia is ready for a change of pace. Looking to decompress in the days leading up to Christmas, she decides to take a vacation to Peaceful Pines Ranch in Montana where she celebrated Christmas as a child with her late father.
“Upon arrival, she meets her dashing guide Huntley Blaylock who presents her and the other guests at the ranch with a rustic experience that is far from the royal treatment. This Christmas, Huntley must decide if he wants to step into a leadership role and carry on the family ranch’s legacy as his parents, the owners, approach retirement.
“Unaware of her status as a princess, Huntley puts Victoria through the rigors of a Montana ranch experience. Victoria also plans to help Huntley revive the ranch’s Christmas Holly-Day Dance. Victoria finds herself charmed by both Huntley and this different pace of life.”
A Royal Montana Christmas stars Fiona Gubelmann and Warren Christie. Should you wish to catch this all-new ‘Royal’ movie, A Royal Montana Christmas airs at 8/7c.
