Aria Montgomery and Ezra Fitz are getting back together: Lucy Hale and Ian Harding, who famously coupled up on ABC Family/Freeform’s “Pretty Little Liars,” will star in a new holiday rom-com “The Twelve Dates of Christmas,” Deadline reports.
The movie stars Hale as Christina Walker, “a successful shop owner who has devoted her energy to her career at the expense of her dating life,” according to the official logline. “As she finds herself single while watching her younger siblings marry ahead of her, Christina makes a promise to herself: to go on 12 dates in the 12 weeks leading up to Christmas in hopes of finding ‘Mr. Right.’ Along the way, she navigates the often complicated and unpredictable world of online dating, discovering unexpected connections, personal growth, and the true meaning of the season.”
“The Twelve Dates of Christmas” is written by Seth Howard and David Lipper, the latter of whom is also directing.
