Christmas in Tahoe on Hallmark: What is it About?

Claire (Laura Osnes) is a talent booker at her family’s hotel and casino in Lake Tahoe. When the act she booked cancels, her friend Jackson (Pat Monahan) reminds her that she knows someone famous who could help. That would be her ex-boyfriend, Ryan (Kyle Selig), who’s the lead guitarist in a popular band.

See, Claire was the one who helped Ryan’s band initially break out, but he dropped her in favor of a bigger management company down the line. While back in Tahoe to spend the holidays with his family, Ryan offers to help Claire find a replacement act. Claire tries to put the past behind her, but feelings resurface – does she need Ryan as much as he may need her?

Kyle Selig is an actor who also has Broadway roots. On TV, you may have seen him in episodes of Madam Secretary or Welcome to Flatch. In theater, he originated the role of Aaron Samuels in the 2018 musical adaption of Mean Girls. He starred alongside his now-fiancee Erika Henningsen in the play (she portrayed Cady Heron), and the two began dating in 2017, according to PEOPLE.

Given his stage talent, it’s no wonder Kyle will be performing “Shake Up Christmas” with Train’s Pat Monahan (who’s also starring in the film).
