Once Upon A Holiday (2015)

As the snowflakes gently blanket New York City, Princess Katherine, Katie to those who know her heart, from the regal realm of Montserai, arrives on royal duty. Scheduled to preside over Montserai's beloved Christmas Festival, a tradition upheld by her lineage for centuries, Katie's trip is meticulously managed by her paternal Aunt Margaret. This journey is more than just duty though; it's a poignant reminder of the last time she savored the spirit of Christmas as a common child with her mother, Princess Theresa. As the city's festivity stirs nostalgic memories, Katie yearns for a breather amidst her royal commitments. A talented photographer, she craves the simple pleasure of visiting a local photography exhibit, a love passed down from her mother. Seizing a fleeting chance, Katie, like a phantom princess, escapes her royal entourage and the watchful eyes of Aunt Margaret. Incognito, she explores the city's vibrant streets, where destiny introduces her to Jack Langdon, a warm-hearted contractor with a knack for renovation. Once an MBA and a high-profile real estate businessman, Jack traded his corporate life for the authenticity of manual labor, a decision that cost him his relationship with his fiancée, Gretchen. Shying away from love, Jack's protective instincts kick in as he senses Katie's concealed identity and offers unconditional help. As the city's Christmas magic weaves its spell, an unsuspected romance blooms between Jack and Katie, despite her hidden royal identity. Their time together is a ticking clock, bound by the duration of Katie's anonymity. Back at the royal front, George Holt, a loyal family lawyer and old friend of Theresa, persuades Aunt Margaret to grant Katie her requested solitude. However, Margaret, determined to uphold the royal traditions, enlists Simon, Montserai's trusted New York fixer, to locate the runaway princess. Simultaneously, they must conceal Katie's disappearance from the ever-vigilant media. Complications arise as Ross Hargreave, a self-absorbed local television reporter and boyfriend to Jack's sister Emma, grows suspicious. Assigned to cover Katie's royal visit, Ross senses more to her absence than the official story of illness. Once Upon A Holiday weaves a captivating tale of a royal princess, weary of her glittering cage, who dares to experience life as a commoner, only to find herself ensnared in the charm of a good Samaritan, a whirlwind romance, and the true spirit of Christmas.
