It is an objective truth* that A Christmas Prince was the best thing to happen in 2017.
*Don't try to argue with me on this. If you disagree you're just wrong, sorry.
So it goes without saying that the announcement of the sequel, called A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding, has been the best thing to happen in 2018.
UNTIL NOW, that is. I don't know if you know this, but Christmas-themed royal romances are a whole genre in themselves.
(Here is a ranking of these gems, if you're interested).
And Netflix is doing its part for the good of the world by contributing to the genre, not just with a sequel to A Christmas Prince, but a WHOLE OTHER MOVIE!
(This gif is not from that movie. It's from A Princess For Christmas, but I really just wanted to share Sam Heughan dancing in excitement, okay.)
Vanessa Hudgens posted on Instagram earlier today that she just wrapped filming on The Christmas Switch for Netflix!
She wrote: "Did someone say a royal wedding???? 😝😝😝 That’s a wrap on THE CHRISTMAS SWITCH 🎄 Coming to you this holiday season on @Netflix. ❤️❤️ So excited for you guys to see this one. 😍🎉"
A royal Christmas romance starring Vanessa Hudgens? What more could we ask for? What's that? A royal Christmas romance starring TWO Vanessa Hudgenses*?!?!? YES THANK YOU PLEASE.
.@VanessaHudgens & @SamPalladio will star in “The Princess Switch,” a rom-com about a Duchess & a commoner who swap places after discovering they look exactly alike! But things get complicated when they each fall in love with a man who doesn't know their true identity https://t.co/XnfOHm4QHp
*I'm just speculating that Vanessa will play two roles, btw, but if she doesn't, what is even the point of a switching identities movie?!
Oh, and the prince is being played by Sam Palladio, who appears to tick all the boxes of Generic British White Boy perfectly.
(Sorry Nashville fans if he is More Than Generic in that, I've never watched it, don't @ me.)
Bring on Christmas!
