Jaded rock star Dax (Drew Lachey) is found by New York paparazzi passed out in his car with a frozen holiday turkey in the passenger seat.  In order to repair his tarnished image, Dax publicly agrees to grant a fan’s “Dear Santa” Christmas wish.  To his dismay, his manager Jason (Matt Ward) drops Dax off in Cedar Grove, a Midwest small town, where he’s committed to spend a week and perform in a local holiday Christmas concert.  

At first, Dax is horrified to be stuck in the Reverend Harding (Peter Lacroix) family’s home with strict rules and a curfew.  In spite of himself, he soon becomes charmed by the Reverend’s wife Lynne (Ellie Harvie), teenage son Tim (Evan Bird), and very surprised contest winner and daughter Kelly (MacKenzie Porter), a sassy, unemployed book jacket writer. 

Between the family’s backyard collection of llamas, quirky Christmas traditions and their overall kindness, Dax starts to appreciate what the Hardings have as a family – love, caring and an uplifting holiday spirit.  Olivia Cheng also stars.  The movie features a musical duet by Lachey and Porter, entitled “You.”  Directed by Kristoffer Tabori (UP’s The Carpenter’s Miracle, “Judging Amy”).  Script by Neil and Tippi Dobrovsky (Goodnight For Justice, Operation Cupcake).

Guess Who’s Coming to Christmas?  That’s the title of Drew Lachey’s  new TV movie premiering Sunday, Dec. 8 on the UP channel (formerly Gospel Music Channel).

Lachey plays Dax, a bad boy rock star who spends a week  in a small Midwest town to repair his image after the New York paparazzi find him passed out in his car.

Dax agrees to grant a fan’s “Dear Santa” Christmas wish by living in tiny Cedar Grove with a strict minister and his family. It sounds like — Spoiler Alert! — he falls in love with the minister’s daughter (actress/musician MacKenzie Porter, “Christmas Rescue”), described as a “sassy, unemployed book-jacket writer.”

The movie includes an original musical duet by Lachey and Porter called “You.”

“Guess Who’s Coming To Christmas” premieres 7 p.m. Dec. 8 on UP, and repeats at 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. that day.

The casdt includes Peter Lacroix (“Smallville,” “Stargate SG-1”), Ellie Harvie (“The Bouquet,” “Home Alone: The Holiday Heist”), Evan Bird (“The Killing,” “Falling Skies”), Matt Ward (“TRON: Legacy,” “Chrismas Comes Home to Canaan”) and Olivia Chen (“Supernatural”).
