"Olivia Anderson is a successful young woman who met her childhood sweetheart during her family's annual Christmas visit to Hawaii," a press release said. "After being separated by distance and years, the two reunite at the same Hawaiian resort years later, and the old chemistry between them flares up anew -- but circumstances conspire to keep them apart."

The cast also includes Charles Michael Davis, Bryan Greenberg, George Newbern, Nia Vardalos, Phil Morris and Dannah Lockett.

Lea Michele's first holiday album -- Christmas in the City -- is set for release on Friday.
