More about the Cast of Christmas Movie Magic

Jennifer Gibson

Known for acting in “A Dog’s Way Home” and “Suits,” Jennifer Gibson lends her acting talents to Christmas Movie Magic playing Stacy.

Jennifer on her experience with “Christmas Movie Magic”:

“Friends, I can not be more proud of this movie. I have been a part of many Christmas movies, but this is by far the most special. To make a movie with Rob and Georgia, that is an homage to the movies was a dream come true. The entire cast and crew worked their butts off and it really shows. Fun fact: I was once an extra in ‘Another Cinderella Story’ starring the magnificent @drewseeley, and 12 years later I’m playing his sister.
If all this wasn’t enough, Rob dedicated this movie to my Dad’s memory. I can’t get through this post without weeping! I hope you can all see it. It airs tonight in Canada on @superchannel @schearthome , and Dec 7 in the US on @lifetimetv”

Jennifer is the mother of an adorable little second grader named Georgia.  You can see her here.

This guy really loves to play games.  You can see him in photos at Ubisoft and then this super fun one where is he is participating in a “Nerf War” complete with top of the line Nerf guns.

As a Canadian, his summers are somewhat short but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t hit the beach!  Arcade likes to hang out with his guy friends at the beach.  Where, you might ask?  Well it looks like he likes to hang out in Cuba!  In this picture you can also see actor friend, Brandon Ludwig who is a content creator and Epic gamer who participates in Gamer’s Paradise just like Arcade.
