Who is in the People Presents: Blending Christmas Cast?

Haylie Duff as Emma

Haylie Duff is the older sister of actress Hilary Duff, and the sisters even starred in their own movie together called Material Girls. In terms of solo projects, Haylie starred as Sandy Jameson in 7th Heaven; plus, holiday films like All About Christmas Eve and Christmas Belle. She’s been engaged to Matt Rosenberg since 2014, and they have two kids together. Haylie had a food blog, cooking show, and cookbook called The Real Girl’s Kitchen. Now, she runs a clothing line called Little Moon Society.

Aaron O’Connell as Liam

Interestingly enough, Aaron actually started off as a model before venturing into acting. After booking national commercials, Tyler Perry booked him in his first drama series The Haves and The Have Nots as Wyatt Cryer. It was a huge hit for OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), which then led Aaron to book parts in movies, like Hallmark’s 12 Gifts of Christmas. The Ohio-born O’Connell now resides in Los Angeles, married to Natalie Pack, and flies planes with his private pilot’s license.

Other major names in the film include: original Brady Bunch stars Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland, Susan Olsen, and Robbie Rist; as well as Beth Broderick (Sabrina the Teenage Witch) and Greg Evigan (My Two Dads).
