Mill Creek Entertainment's Winning Christmas Trio From Filmmaker Marco Deufemia Heads Home On Nov. 7 • 3 Film Holiday Collection On DVD

Mill Creek Entertainment gets into the Christmas-season spirit on Nov. 7 with not one, not two, but a triple feature of seasonally themed romantic film delights that will be available as a DVD set.

Although officially titled 3 Film Holiday Collection, this set could actually be titled “Director Showcase: The Films of Marco Deufemia,” who is no stranger to fans of Mill Creek Entertainment’s priced-to-collect DVD product offerings having previously delivered Christmas in Wolf Creek, Country Roads Christmas and Love in Wolf Creek (November of 2022).

So let’s get to it.  Up first is Christmas with the Knightlys, teaming Celeste Desjardins (as Madison Turner in the Obsession trilogy) with Joe Scarpellino (Christmas on the Slopes, Stay the Night) as a very miss-matched couple.  Georgia is a teacher, who unwitting ends up on road — trying outrun the press — with the pompous Chase Knight (aka Knightly), who is something of playboy notorious for hopping from one affair to the next.

The question that you have to answer as events unfold, is Chase really falling in love with a simple “teacher,” or is this just another game for him … a play at seducing her?

Up next is Deufemia’s Christmas in Big Sky Country.  Here we are introduced to the lovely Becca Collins (Rebecca Dalton — Christmas Wedding Planner, A Perfect Christmas, Santa’s Squad), a naturalist (she works with bears), who has a meet-cute moment with Logan (Oliver Renaud — Christmas on the Slopes) at the local coffee shop as the film begins.   

After this happy opening sequence, Becca arrives at her sister Rose’s house to help out with the planning for the holidays.  Everything is just wonderful, but right in the middle of a phone call with Rose’s (played by Tamara Duarte) husband, Josh (Mark Ghanime), he is cut off.   It seems that he works at a remote oil-drilling site in Alaska and he could be in some danger … the news is sketchy at best.

As if on cue, the doorbell rings and at the door is some guy with happy talk news that everything will be all right.  If you guessed the “guy” at the door is from the coffee shop, you’d be spot on … it turns out he represents the oil company and he assures both Becca and Rose that Josh is just fine.  

So is there something romantically brewing between Becca and Josh (love at first sight), or is Josh just using her to get Rose to do something (not in her best interest) for the company he works for?   Nov. 7 to discover the answer!! 

Rounding out this trilogy of films from Marco Deufemia is Christmas in Maple Hills starring Emily Alatalo (The Breach, Christmas Catch) as Valerie Warrick, who is in danger of losing her grandparents’ dairy farm over some very old paperwork.   Jumping back and forth in time we she her, with the help of Walker (Marcus Rosner), try to uncover the mystery and set things right, while in the past we see the events unfold with her grandmother, Marguerite (Amada Jordan) that set up the current situation.

It’s a race against time … tick tock, tick tick.   All or nothing!

All of your questions will be answered on Nov. 7 with the Mill Creek Entertainment DVD release of the 3 Film Holiday Collection, featuring director Marco Deufemia’s Christmas with the Knightlys, Christmas in Big Sky Country and Christmas in Maple Hills.
