Kelsey Grammer was born in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and was raised in New Jersey and Florida.

Speaking about working with his real-life daughter in the upcoming film, Kelsey told Deadline:

"I cannot say enough about how gifted my daughter is and working with her is long overdue. I am very much looking forward to it,...On top of that, there is nothing I like more than a good Christmas movie. With Lifetime, Spencer and the rest, that is exactly what we’re making."

Spencer Grammer as Michelle

Spencer Grammer, Kelsey Grammer's real daughter, will also play his reel daughter in The 12 Days of Christmas Eve. Her character will be seen as estranged from her father as she struggles to make any real connection.

Speaking about working with her father, Spencer said that it was a "very easy process".

She mentioned:

"My experience working with him was very easy,...I feel like that's how a set really works—it works from the top down—and you have people who you work with who are your bosses and they will set the tone for the show. I really think we were in great hands because my dad's a lovely man to work with."
