Starring Mitchell Slaggert and Sasha Pieterse, “A Carpenter Christmas Romance” explores the rekindled romance between novelist Andrea and artisanal woodworker Seth.

In a recent interview with Variety, Drew revealed that this year’s Christmas movie will feature more steamy scenes than ever before, including a full-on sex scene. Pieterse, who plays Andrea, expressed her excitement about the film’s daring approach, noting that the added spice will surprise and delight audiences looking for something different in their holiday viewing experience.
