What is Who's Coming for Christmas? about?
Julie, played by Rhiannon Fish, has just moved to a new town and is settling in with pieces she inherited from her late grandmother, including a beautiful dining table she plans to use when she hosts Christmas Eve dinner for the first time. Following her grandmother's example, she trusts that her table for eight will fill up. She quickly makes friends, including her neighbor Mark, played by Jake Foy, and his young daughter Vanessa, played by Mila Morgan.
Mark suggests his family could join, which would fill every seat. When bad weather keeps them from making the trip, it looks like a quiet night for just the three of them, unless a small Christmas miracle, or a series of them, fills Julie's table.
Who is in the cast?
Rhiannon Fish plays Julie Wilson, Jake Foy plays Mark Evans and Mila Morgan plays Vanessa. The cast also includes Tammy Gillis, Trezzo Mahoro, Tom Pickett, Hannah Pederson, Raine Mateo and Jason Fernandes.
