This holiday season, streaming viewers get a fresh romantic mystery to cozy up with — and it comes from a seasoned screenwriter with nearly 75 film and TV credits to his name.
The holiday romance, written by Brendan McNerney and Jason-Shane Scott, premieres Nov. 13 on Hulu and Disney+.
LOS ANGELES , CA, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — LOS ANGELES (November 11, 2026) — Screenwriter Jason-Shane Scott has co-written Postcards for Christmas, a holiday romance starring Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill) and Jessica Lowndes (90210). The film premieres November 13 on Hulu and Disney+ in the U.S. and is already streaming on Disney+ internationally. It marks Scott’s first film for Hulu and Disney+.
The story follows Hannah Norton (Lowndes), who relocates to the picturesque small town of Mistletoe Valley for the holidays. She takes a job at the local post office alongside her college best friend, where she stumbles upon a stack of undeliverable mail. Among the letters is a string of love notes all penned by the same anonymous man. Enlisting the help of Ford Montgomery (Murray), a DJ at the town’s radio station, Hannah sets out to solve the mystery of who wrote them — and discovers a romance of her own along the way. Samantha Brown also stars in the film.
“Holiday movies are like comfort food, and I wanted this one to feel like opening a letter from someone who really knows you,” said Scott. “I’m thrilled that audiences on Hulu and Disney+ around the world will get to spend the season in Mistletoe Valley.”
