Prince Edmond (Jordan Renzo) rarely visits home anymore, so to butter up his mother (the Queen!), he brings her a gift that’s sure to delight her: a third Corgi. One can never have too many Corgis. Little Mistletoe is no doubt a very good boy but the royal Corgi handler refuses to deal with him, not being of royal Corgi lineage, and already being too old to be trainable to a royal standard at just a year old. After an incident with a royal ham, the Crown Prince’s judgment is deemed unfit for rule, which is kind of extreme. To prove his seriousness, he invites an American dog trainer named Cecily (Hunter King) to come rescue his royal butt.
Prince Edward should likely be spending his time getting to know his subjects and country again before his ascension, but mostly continues to be useless. Fortunately, Mistletoe’s naughty side gains the palace some notoriety when he becomes a Youtube sensation, making the monarchy surprisingly relevant for a viral moment.
Dogs make everything better. Mistletoe can humanize an aloof prince, prompt charity work, and even make sparks fly between a lowly commoner and a future King.
The Dog Who Saved Christmas. Yes, I think that title would work as well.

Ah, dogs and princes and mistletoe. I don’t know…maybe when I was 10…?
Remember that Drew Barrymore movie from way back when: Ever After? That’s kinda a guilty pleasure nostalgia favorite of mine. Mainly ’cause I could look at Dougray Scott all day! lol

One of my daughter’s roommates has a Corgi puppy. I’ve never seen anything so adorable in my life! It may be enough to encourage me to actually watch this film:-)
