'Santa Bootcamp' Lifetime Movie Premiere: Cast, Trailer, Synopsis
The Lifetime Christmas movies continue with the premiere of "Santa Bootcamp," starring Emily Kinney and Rita Moreno, on Saturday night.
The film will be an unexpected treat for fans, as they likely know the film's stars, but don't recognize them from Lifetime. Kinney is best known for her role as Beth Greene on AMC's "The Walking Dead," while Moreno is still well-known for her role as Maria in the 1961 version of "West Side Story," as well as the role of Valentina in the 2021 version. Some may also recognize her from her role in "One Day at a Time."
The pair are joined in the film by Patrick Cassidy ("Ruby & The Rockits"), Marissa Jaret Winokur ("A Very Nutty Christmas"), Just Gaston ("The Young and the Restless"), John Schuck ("M*A*S*H"), Deanne Bray ("Heroes") and Zyra Singleton.
So what can fans expect from the film? According to a synopsis, plenty of unexpected hijinks and humor, as well as a special message about the true meaning of the holidays—and, of course, some romance as well.
"When event planner Emily Strauss (Kinney) is hired by mall magnate Ed Mancini (Cassidy) to stage the ultimate Christmas Gala for his most important investors, Emily finds herself being sent to bootcamp—Santa Bootcamp—to find the perfect Santa and the inspiration she will need to make the evening a success," the synopsis reads. "While there, Emily meets Belle (Moreno), the boot camp's drill sergeant with a heart of gold, who helps Emily rediscover the magic of Christmas and find romance along the way."
Will Emily not only find love but everything she needs for the Gala?
"Santa Bootcamp" airs Saturday at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
