Undercover Holiday is a romantic comedy film that premiered on December 4 2022 on the Hallmark channel. It stars Selena: The Series actress Noemi Gonzalez and Return to Christmas Creek actor Stephen Huszar. Undercover Holiday is the perfect movie to get you in Christmas spirits because it has comedy, romance, and just a pinch of drama.
It follows the story of pop star Jaylen Rodriguez who has recently risen to fame and is about to go on tour, but before that, she wants to head home to have a traditional Rodriguez family Christmas. However, due to her increasing popularity, she has been receiving some concerning emails from a ‘secret admirer’ which made her team a little worried, so they decided to hire a personal some security guard named Matt for her.
Ever since Jaylen became a pop star, her family has always been concerned about her because of all the hate a star receives along with love so in order to keep the security guard and emails from some ‘secret admirer’ a secret, she decides to introduce her bodyguard Matt as her boyfriend. Matt hesitantly agrees to her idea and goes to her house while pretending to be her boyfriend. Jaylen’s family is glad to see her dating someone and welcomes Matt into their house with open arms.
Matt and Jaylen maintain their fake relationship in front of her family while trying not to get in each other’s business when they aren’t around. But that starts to seem like an impossible task when they have to spend so much time together. As the holiday progresses, Jaylen and Matt start letting down their walls and making their way into each other’s hearts. Matt becomes overprotective of Jaylen for an entirely different reason as he lines between bodyguard and boyfriend start to blur.

UNDERCOVER HOLIDAY was…fine. Could have used more spark between leads, but mostly fewer public domain Christmas songs. And the costume design on Noemí González was borderline mean. She’s lovely, her styling was not. At one point she couldn’t stop fussing with ill-fitting pants. pic.twitter.com/eP4N8m4bCP
