For years, Lifetime Network has been spreading the Christmas cheer by premiering its lineup of festive movies during the holiday season. One such film is ‘Forever Christmas’ that follows the world-weary and cynical TV producer Sophie Worthy as she ropes in Will Saunders, a man who celebrates Christmas every day (yes, all 365 days in the year), to feature in a holiday-themed reality show. Instead of the weird oddball she is expecting to meet, Will turns out to be a total hunk with the added plus of having a heart of gold.
While filming the reality show starring Will, Sophie finds herself being drawn to his infectious holiday spirit and innate charm. She also starts to warm up to Christmas again. When Will finds out that the show’s angle is not to spread the festive cheer but to paint him as an oddball on national television, he calls out Sophie on her hypocrisy. Sophie finds herself in a dilemma to showcase Will in a positive light, without offending her team. Curious to know where this charming movie was filmed and who is in it? We have all the information right here!
