EXCLUSIVE: As nearly every local store has shown you recently, the holiday season is in full swing. With that comes a healthy amount of themed programming like The Roku Channel‘s Jingle Bell Love, starring Joey McIntyre, premiering November 18.
McIntyre stars in the romantic comedy as Jack Cooper, who viewers will meet when he visits his late wife’s hometown for Christmas. He gets more than he bargained for when his determined daughter hooks him up with a charming local shop owner (Michelle Morgan), even though he is already dating someone else that nobody really likes. Things get complicated when past-due business dealings bubble to the surface. Jack is full of creative ideas that could help smooth things out just in time for Christmas, but will it all work out?
McIntyre, who has been a member of one of the biggest boy bands of all time, New Kids on the Block, since the mid-80s, has a special gift for viewers. The Roku Original will feature a new original song he will perform titled, “A Brand New Christmas.”
The Boston native is no stranger to holiday-themed music. NKOTB released Merry, Merry Christmas in 1989, and McIntyre dropped Come Home For Christmas in 2011, could a new one be on the way?
