Ryan is back for another UPtv Christmas movie. This week, we're diving into a brand-new UPtv royal holiday romance: A Royal Christmas Manor.
Prince Alexander of Fredonia escapes to a cozy inn hoping to experience a traditional American Christmas. Katie, who runs the inn, falls for him, completely unaware of his true royal identity.

The movie kicks off with Katie saying goodbye to her parents as they head off to spend Christmas with their grandchild. She’s a little bummed about spending the holiday alone, but it is what it is.
Cut to Prince Alexander of Fredonia. The tabloids are pressuring him to settle down because he’s “getting old,” and he needs a break from all the royal expectations.
Katie, meanwhile, is running her family’s inn while her parents are gone and is hoping to prove she’s ready to take it over for good.
Alexander decides he wants to spend the Christmas season somewhere quiet — and what better place than a U.S. town also called Fredonia that actually gets snow? His parents reluctantly agree to let him go with his best friend, Jackson. They end up booking the last available room at Katie’s inn.
When they arrive, Alexander is instantly smitten — not just with the charm of the inn, but with Katie herself, especially since she has no idea he’s a prince. She treats him like a totally normal guy.
Cell reception is spotty, so Alex can’t call home, and his parents start worrying. Meanwhile, Katie takes him snowshoeing and sparks begin to fly.
There’s also another guest, Mr. Norton, who seems like he’s supposed to be quirky but just comes across as kind of creepy. Alex is committed to making Katie fall for him, not the prince version of him, so he volunteers to assemble a bookshelf even though he has never built anything in his life. She also invites him to gather firewood with her the next day. Love is definitely brewing.
Then a bad snowstorm hits, which keeps the inn’s cook, Gretchen, from making it in. Katie has to handle the kitchen, but… she’s not great. Luckily, Alexander secretly loves to cook. A guy named William shows up, and Alex briefly assumes William and Katie are a thing, but they are very much not, which is a relief.
Katie and Alex go down to the basement to look for a box of decorations. He finds some mistletoe, and yes — that’s when the smooching happens.
The storm makes it impossible for Alex to get to the airport on Christmas Eve. His parents, now very concerned, decide to come find him. Before Alex can confess who he really is, his parents show up and spill the royal beans.
Shockingly, Katie handles it pretty well! Everyone ends up spending Christmas Eve together. Katie opens the gift her mom left for her — a key to the inn. It’s officially hers. She celebrates by kissing Alex some more.
Finally, they go to visit his royal home.
THE END!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
