Tis' that time of the year again, the time to get cosy in your blankets with a hot cup of cocoa and bask in the spirit of Christmas movies. The Merry Gentleman is here to give you company while you do that. Netflix has never disappointed its fans with the Holiday season content, and this might be your next Holiday watch.

This Christmas entertainer will also be a melting romance, which will force you to dance to the bears of Christmas. While there is no official teaser for the same, Netflix announced on its official Instagram through some stills, which you can find below.

Christmas is a trope that has been done many times before, so it is always a challenge for makers to bring something new to the genre. It will be interesting to see what director Peter Sullivan (Secret Obsession) and writer Marla Sokoloff (Sweet on You) have up their sleeve with this one.

All the details on the exclusive first look of The Merry Gentleman, cast, and release date are below.

Before diving into the plot, let's have the exclusive first look as announced by Netflix on their Instagram-

Britt Robertson and Chad Michael Murray star in this new Christmas movie, and the stills from the movie look like viewers are in for a jolly good time. The film follows Ashley, who stages an all-male Christmas-themed revue to save her parents' performing arts venue. The male dance troupe will save Christmas in a very sizzling fashion, as is clear from the stills.

''We take a lot of the tropes that have been created for this particular genre and poke fun at them in such a tasteful way.'', Murray talking about The Merry Gentleman
