Guess Who's Coming to Christmas For Immediate Release 98 DEGREES’ DREW LACHEY AND ACTRESS/MUSICIAN MACKENZIE PORTER STAR IN THE UP ORIGINAL MOVIE GUESS WHO’S COMING TO CHRISTMAS AIRING SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8 AT 7 P.M. EDT ON “AMERICA’S CHRISTMAS CHANNEL” Ensemble Cast Includes Peter Lacroix, Ellie Harvie, Evan Bird, Matt Ward and Olivia Chen ATLANTA – November 6, 2013 – UP, “America’s Christmas Channel,” presents the UP Original Movie Guess Who’s Coming To Christmas (#GuessWho), a funny, romantic holiday movie for the entire family, starring singer/actor/emcee Drew Lachey (98 Degrees, “Dancing with the Stars”) and actress/musician MacKenzie Porter (Christmas Rescue, “Dinosapien”). Kristoffer Tabori (The Carpenter’s Miracle, “Judging Amy”) directs from a screenplay written by Tippi and Neal Dobrofsky (Window Wonderland, Goodnight for Justice). Guess Who’s Coming To Christmas will premiere exclusively on Sunday, December 8 at 7 p.m. EDT, with encores at 9 and 11 p.m. EDT on UP. The ensemble cast also includes Peter Lacroix (“Smallville,” “Stargate SG-1”), Ellie Harvie (The Bouquet, Home Alone: The Holiday Heist), Evan Bird (“The Killing,” “Falling Skies”), Matt Ward (TRON: Legacy, Chrismas Comes Home to Canaan) and Olivia Cheng (“Supernatural,” “Entertainment Tonight Canada”). When his high-maintenance girlfriend Chelsea (Olivia Cheng) refuses to cook, jaded rock star Dax (Drew Lachey) is found by New York paparazzi passed out in his car with a frozen holiday turkey in the passenger seat. In order to repair his tarnished image, Dax publicly agrees to grant a fan’s “Dear Santa” Christmas wish. To his dismay, his manager Jason (Matt Ward) drops Dax off in Cedar Grove, a small Midwest town, where he’s committed to spend a week and perform in a local holiday Christmas concert. At first, Dax is horrified to be stuck in the Reverend Harding (Peter Lacroix) family’s home under strict rules and a curfew. But he soon becomes charmed by the Reverend’s wife Lynne (Ellie Harvie), teenage son Tim (Evan Bird) and very surprised contest winner and daughter Kelly (MacKenzie Porter), a sassy, unemployed book jacket writer. Dax begins to appreciate what the Hardings have as a family – love, caring and an uplifting holiday spirit. The movie features an original musical duet by Lachey and Porter, entitled “You.” “Guess Who’s Coming To Christmas throws a badly behaved rock star, in need of some image rehabilitation, into a completely unfamiliar situation – small town America,” said Leslie Glenn Chesloff, executive vice president of programming, UP. “Although Dax – played with humor and heart by Drew Lachey – chaffs at being in a small town and under a reverend’s roof, he quickly finds the holidays with this close family and their llamas inexplicably charming. As he rediscovers his musical voice, direction and joy, the question is what will Dax do when his holiday time-out ends?” UP presents an Entertainment One Ltd. (eOne) production. Guess Who’s Coming To Christmas stars Drew Lachey, MacKenzie Porter, Peter Lacroix, Ellie Harvie, Evan Bird, Matt Ward and Olivia Cheng. Directed by Kristoffer Tabori. Produced by Ira Pincus and Randolph Cheveldave. Casting by Candice Elzinga. Cinematography by David Pelletier and Adam Sliwinski. Editor is Garry M.B. Smith. Composer is Brent Belke. Script by Neil and Tippi Dobrovsky.

Like Nick, Drew attended Cincinnati's School for the Performing Arts, where he triumphed in the arenas of academics, sports, and vocal performance. Drew then briefly enlisted in the army and worked as an EMT before the 19-year-old accepted Nick's invitation to travel to Southern California and join the white- hot boy band “98 Degrees.” The ensemble scored a massive fan base and a Motown contract. After the group formally took a hiatus several years later, Drew achieved fame independently of Nick for performing in the celebrity contingent of the competitive reality series “Dancing with the Stars.” He and partner Cheryl Burke competed and won during the series’ second season (in early 2006), beating such competitors as Julianne Hough and Joey Fatone. He later co-hosted the 2006 Miss USA Pageant with Nancy O’Dell, hosted the spin-off reality series “Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann” in 2008, and returned to “Dancing with the Stars” in its 15th season as an “All-Star” in 2012. On film and television, Drew has starred in Spliced, “The Comebacks” and “Overhaulin.” On stage, he starred in the Broadway productions of “Spamalot” and “Rent.” MACKENZIE PORTER Raised on a cattle and bison ranch in Southern Alberta, MacKenzie began studying piano, violin, and voice at the young age of four. As a classically trained violinist, MacKenzie performed for many years as a soloist and a chamber musician, performing with various symphonies. MacKenzie's family of musicians helped cultivate her sound and for a number of years. MacKenzie toured with a family band – including her brother Kalan Porter, 2004 winner of “Canadian Idol” – before branching out to perform on her own. In 2011, MacKenzie won the “Nashville North Star” competition and has recently opened for Kenny Chesney, Doc Walker, Trooper, and the Canadian Tenors. In addition, she has performed for such notables as Gene Simmons and Prime Minister Harper. She performed as part of 2011's Ottawa Capital Hoedown featuring Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney and Miranda Lambert.

Currently, MacKenzie is writing and recording her upcoming debut album, which will be released in 2014.

Peter and his wife Deborah DeMille live in Vancouver with their son, Dachel.
