Following her appearance in one of 2018’s most-hyped Netflix festive films, The Princess Switch, Vanessa Hudgens’s festive film acting chops look to have been noticed, with the actress appearing in another Christmas movie later this year.

Swapping out her role as both a Chicago-based baker named Stacy De Novo, and the freakishly identical Duchess of Montenaro, Lady Margaret Delacourt, Hudgens will instead step into the shoes of Brooke, a science teacher who finds herself disillusioned by love in the Netflix Christmas film-cum-rom-com The Knight Before Christmas.

And before you think that her new role is nowhere near as thrilling as her Parent Trap-adjacent one, just wait, because there’s way more to this story.

Per Teen Vogue, the film also follows Sir Cole (played by Josh Whitehouse), a medieval knight who has been transported to present-day Ohio by a sorceress. Befriending the knight, Brooke helps him navigate the modern world and aids him to fulfil his one true quest, this single act being the only way for Sir Cole to return home.

Of course, in true rom-com-Christmas film hybrid form, the knight grows closer to, and begins to fall for Brooke, leaving him to question if he still wants to return to his former life.

Directed by Monika Mitchell, who is also behind a slew of Christmas films, including The Christmas Contract and Royal New Year’s Eve, The Knight Before Christmas’s tagline reads “a cosy holiday romance about learning to let yourself believe in magic again.”

Cheesy as it may sound, this Vanessa Hudgens-led Christmas flick may just have the potential to prove as a festive film for the ages—time and copious amounts of viewing can only tell. No Australia-specific release date has crossed our gaze just yet, but considering the film is set to drop on the US’s iteration of the viewing platform on November 21, we can’t imagine we’d be that far behind.

As we’ll be organising our Christmas film viewing schedule shortly (isn’t everyone?), we’ve also got our eyes fixed on a ton of other feel-good films coming to the streaming platform.

Also joining the platform’s festive line-up is the just as highly anticipated A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby, the latest instalment in the movie series of the same name. Revisiting Queen Amber and King Richard’s love story for the third time, the plot follows the royal couple preparing for the impending birth of their first child. Of course, drama soon ensues in Aldovia, with a 600-year-old sacred truce between their family and the Penglian royal family suddenly in jeopardy.

In addition to the release of these two Christmas films, titles including Let It Snow, a John Green co-written novel-turned-film starring The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’s Keirnan Shipka, Holiday in the Wild, which cast Kristin Davis and Rob Lowe for its leads, and many more will make up the movies we’ll be bingeing come Christmas.
