The American actress, model, and singer, Jessica Schram has been cast in the leading role as Juniper, a marine veterinarian in the Hallmark Christmas movie. Commenting on her role in the movie, she said in an interview with CT Insider, which was published on October 23:
"When they said (the film) was going to be in Mystic, I looked it up and I thought that the pictures were adorable. I knew we weren't going anywhere where we would not be enjoying ourselves, and I really loved the rehabilitation aspect that it focuses on for marine life."
Some of Schram's most notable roles include Hannah Griffith in Veronica Mars, Rachel Seybolt in Life, and Karen Nadler in Falling Skies. She is renowned for her role as Cinderella/Ashley Boyd in Once Upon a Time.
Chandler Massey

Massey has expressed his excitement to be a part of another Hallmark Christmas special in the same interview with CT Insider:
"I have a relationship with Hallmark over the years and I've done a number of movies for them. And to be part of a feel-good Christmas story is a really lovely thing. I think Hallmark has found success because it's kind of a happy thing, a feel-good kind of channel. That's rare. It's very rare thing these days."
Massey is an American actor and singer who is best known for his role as Will Horton in NBC's daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives. He has also been awarded the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series three years in a row (2012-2014).
