The first thing that we’ll say is that Jaicy Elliot and Ryan Rottman have chemistry. The way that these two interact and feed off each other is both sweet and captivating on and off the screen. They seem like the best of friends.
The two are starring together in tonights Countdown to Christmas movie, My Southern Family Christmas.
Under the guise of a journalist writing a story about a tight-knit community that makes Christmas special, Campbell (Elliot) has a chance to get to know her biological father Everett (Campbell) for the first time – without him ever knowing who she really is. As she spends time with him and his family, as well as Jackson (Rottman), the town’s record keeper, she realizes that families are messy, wonderful things. In the end, Campbell must decide if she’s going to keep her identity a secret or reveal the truth to her father – a decision that will change their family Christmas forever.
The movie was filmed in Sorrento, Louisiana and so I learned about alligators pulling sleighs, cajun traditions, and family traditions. We also learned about family means and what flashlight tag is.
See the interview where Erin (me) babbles on more and loves every second of spending time with these two –
My Southern Family Christmas also stars Brian McNamara, Moira Kelly and Bruce Campbell and will debut on The Hallmark Channel on November 24th.
