‘Holiday In Santa Fe’ Lifetime Movie Premiere: Trailer, Synopsis, Cast

Lifetime’s “It’s A Wonderful Lifetime” programming event continues tonight with the premiere of “Holiday in Santa Fe,” starring Mario Lopez, Emeraude Toubia, Aimee Garcia and Gia Lopez.

Not only will this film be a treat for fans as they get to watch some real-life father/daughter action play out on screen (Gia Lopez is Mario Lopez’s daughter), but they’ll also get to enjoy some new faces as they watch the movies. While they certainly recognize Mario Lopez, either from his days as A.C. Slater on “Saved By the Bell” (a role he is currently reprising on the Peacock revival) or from his previous holiday films for Lifetime, “Feliz NaviDAD” and “A Very Merry Toy Store,: he may be the only one they know.

Toubia is making her debut on Lifetime with this film, though fans may recognize her from other work, including Hallmark’s “Love in the Sun” and the show “Shadowhunters,” where she starred as Isabelle Lightwood. As for Garcia, fans may recognize her for her role as Ella Lopez on “Lucifer.”

So what else can fans expect from this movie?

“Casa de Milagro is a family-owned business that makes holiday ornaments and décor, inspired by Mexican Christmas traditions,” a synopsis reads. “Their award-winning designs, created by matriarch Milagro Ortega, are highly sought after each holiday season. Siblings Tony (Mario Lopez) and Magdalena (Garcia), with help from their dad (Efrain Figueroa), run the shop in Santa Fe, but when their beloved Milagro unexpectedly passes, the family struggles to find its heart.”

The loss also opens them up to an unexpected business offer as well, something they had never considered before—and don’t want to now either—though it may bring a different opportunity to the family as a result.

“With Milagro gone, Belinda Sawyer (Toubia), an executive at one of the largest greeting card and holiday décor chains, sees an opportunity to acquire the company,” the synopsis continues. “When sparks fly between Belinda and Tony, Belinda realized there is more to Casa de Milagro than meets the eye.”

“Holiday in Santa Fe” airs Friday at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
