‘Twelve Dates Of Christmas’: All About Lucy Hale & Ian Harding’s Rom-Com Reunion
What To Know
- Lucy Hale and Ian Harding, known for their roles in Pretty Little Liars, are reuniting for a new movie.
- It’s a holiday rom-com called The Twelve Dates of Christmas.
- Hale has revealed the release window on social media.
Pretty Little Liars‘ Aria (Lucy Hale) and Ezra (Ian Harding) romance wasn’t the stuff of rom-coms, given that he was her high school English teacher when they fell in love, but Hale and Harding have become seasoned rom-com actors since the teen drama ended. Almost a decade after last sharing the screen, they’re teaming up once again.
Hale, who’s lended her talents to The Hating Game, Puppy Love, and more rom-coms, and Harding, who has Our Little Secret and several Hallmark projects under his belt, are reuniting in The Twelve Dates of Christmas. (Not to be confused with the Hallmark movie of the same name.)
Earlier this month, a TikTok video Hale shared of herself and her costar on set was met with plenty of fanfare. Before you ask, Hale used the video to answer a question most Pretty Little Liars fans likely had. “And yes, we play the same age this time,” Hale joked in the October 4 post.
Now that the actors have built up the anticipation, we’re sure you’re eager for more details. Get all the facts about The Twelve Dates of Christmas, including its release date and plot.
