Travel writer Emory never has a normal Christmas. Growing up jet setting around the globe with her traveller parent taught her in her adult life that life is simpler when you’re not tied down. Her free spirit makes her the perfect travel blogger but when a sudden breakup with her boyfriend takes her personal life back to the beginning, she embarks on a picturesque Christmas vacation initially planed for the two of them, alone. Through a mix up on the rental site , Emory is forced to share the cabin with Scott, a handsome widower, his daughter and mother-in-law. What starts off as an inconvenience turns into a romance she was not expecting.

Christmas Getaway is expected to premiere December 23rd on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel as part of their annual Countdown to Christmas.

A Dog’s Way Home started filming in Vancouver and area on October 16th.

Based on the novel of the same name written by New York Times bestselling author W. Bruce Cameron, the story is among a series of dog-themed novels Bruce has written including A Dog’s Purpose, which was released in theatres on January 27th of this year.

Willy Lavendel is busy shooting a recurring role on ABC’s fantasy drama Once Upon a Time episode 710 and 711.

And Ayzee has also booked a role on episode 711 of the series.

Created by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, Once Upon a Time is an American fairy tale dramatic series that premiered October 23, 2011, on ABC. It has just been renewed for a 7th season. The show takes place in the fictional seaside town of Storybrooke, Maine, whose residents are characters from various fairy tales transported to the “real world” town and robbed of their real memories by a powerful curse. The seventh season of ABC’s hit show follows Henry and his troubles following his departure from Storybrooke.

The seventh season of the American ABC fantasy-drama Once Upon a Time was ordered on May 11, 2017. It will consist of 22 episodes and will air on Fridays, having premiered on October 6, 2017.

This season marks a significant change for the series, as it was announced at the end of the sixth season that the majority of the main cast members would not be returning for season 7. Lana Parrilla, Colin O’Donoghue, and Robert Carlyle will be the only ones remaining. Andrew J. West and Alison Fernandez were announced as new regulars in May 2017. Dania Ramirez and Gabrielle Anwar were announced as additional regulars in July 2017. In August 2017, it was announced that Mekia Cox had been promoted to series regular after initially joining the cast in July as recurring.

The storyline is softly rebooted with a new main narrative led by an adult Henry Mills, set many years after the last season’s events.

Jag Arneja has booked a role on Disney Channel’s upcoming musical adaptation of Freaky Friday.

When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again before mom’s big wedding. It is a hilarious, contemporary update of an American classic in which a mother and daughter really see what it is to be a family and experience each other’s lives first-hand, if only for a day.

Freaky Friday is based on Disney Channel’s stage adaption of Mary Rodgers’ classic 1972 novel, which was made into feature 41 and 14 years ago. It was first adapted for the screen in 1976 with Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster. In 1995, Shelley Long and Gaby Hoffman took on the lead roles in a Disney Family Movie made for ABC and in 2003, it returned to the big screen for a Walt Disney Pictures feature film starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. The new production will star Heidi Blickenstaff as the mother Katherine and Cozi Zuehlsdorff as the daughter Elli.

The cast also includes Ricky He, Alex Desert, Jason Maybaum, Kahyun Kim, Dara R. Moss, Jennifer LaPorte, Isaiah Lehtinen and MoGood Talent’s Sarah Willey. Steve Carr will direct and Bridget Carpenter who wrote the book for the stage musical will executively produce. Tony award winning composers Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey will compose.

The movie is set to make its debut in 2018 on Disney Channel.
