HBO Max is celebrating the magic of the holiday season with a greenlight for its latest unscripted series, 12 Dates of Christmas, a holiday-inspired dating series set in a stunning winter wonderland. The series, set to debut next year, will follow a cast of singles as they step into a real-life romantic comedy full of cozy sweaters, fireside cuddles, and mistletoe kisses, all arranged to help these souls find love - just in time for the holidays.
Their romantic journey begins at a picturesque Christmas castle, where the prospective couples will enjoy festive holiday traditions like ice skating, sleigh rides, and hot toddies after a fun day in the snow. Like all great rom coms, their path to love won't be easy - filled with unexpected twists and turns, the singles will ultimately choose a special someone to take home for the holidays, with the hope of a perfect Christmas ending. "The holidays can be a magical time for budding relationships and where better to find your perfect match than in this real-life fairytale castle in the snow? Viewers can grab some hot cocoa, watch the romance unfold and be charmed right along with these hopeless romantics as they search for a Christmas miracle-true love," said Jennifer O'Connell, executive vice president original non-fiction and kids programming. "12 Dates of Christmas is inspired by our love of Christmas rom coms past and present. It's a romantic, fun and feel good dating show with a difference, and has the perfect home with HBO Max," said Objective Media Group EVP Jilly Pearce.Videos
