We live in a world where David DeCoteau made a Christmas movie with Tara Reid. She plays Alison, who dated King Charles (Ingo Rademacher) in college without ever knowing he was royalty. One night, the king’s assistant Rosa (Mira Furlan) forced her to break up with him and he never knew that they had a daughter, Lily (Haley Pullos), together. He had an arranged marriage and is now a widower.

Seventeen years later. Charles is in the U.S. on business and wants to see Allison, even meeting her former roommate Sam (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) for help.

Except…this isn’t a Christmas movie. It doesn’t have a big dance. It’s just…kind of like a fairy tale movie. But at least the twist wasn’t as unforeseeable as Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper, which surprised me with a scene where a sasquatch watches a guy take a one-handed shower. Ah, you know, if that’s what you like, it’s what you like. I’ve found myself watching so many DeCoteau Christmas movies, much less DeCoteau movies and I recommend Santa’s Summer House.

You can watch this on Tubi.
