'Sweet Navidad' Lifetime Movie Premiere: Cast, Trailer, Synopsis

The Lifetime Christmas movies continue with the premiere of "Sweet Navidad," starring Camila Banus and Mark Hapka, on Thursday night.

The film will be a treat for fans, as they likely aren't overly familiar with the film's stars. Banus is new to Lifetime with this film, and she is best-known for her long-running role of Gabi Hernandez on the NBC soap opera "Days of Our Lives." As for Hapka, fans may recognize him from a role in the previous Lifetime holiday movie "A Very Charming Christmas Town."

David Fumero ("One Life to Live") also stars.

So what can fans expect in this film? According to a synopsis, plenty of delicious food is on the menu, as is some unexpected holiday romance.

"Lovable pastry chef Carmen (Banus) dreams of opening her own Puerto Rican-influenced bakery—like the one her family owned on the island. In the meantime, she showcases her treats at a local coffee shop," the synopsis reads. "When hotel owner Victor Flores (Fumero) discovers Carmen's talents, he invites her to apply for a position as pastry chef for his hotel's holiday gala. Knowing other applicants will have culinary-school backgrounds, as opposed to her homegrown skills, Carmen reluctantly applies."

After she applies, Carmen finds herself teamed up in the competition with a chef who has a very different approach to the kitchen than she does.

"When she is accepted, she's paired with chef Jax (Hapka) to curate the perfect holiday menu. But the two do not mix well," the synopsis teases. "Carmen is messy and cooks from the heart; Jax is a perfectionist fixated on technique."

However, working together soon finds them both experiencing something they never predicted.

"As they race against the clock to assemble their intricate holiday menu, sparks fly, and they realize they might have more to learn from one another than they initially thought," the synopsis concludes.

Will Carmen and Jax win not only the contest but some Christmas love?

"Sweet Navidad" airs Thursday at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
