Holiday movies just aren't holiday movies if one of them doesn't include royalty. Typically, that royalty is in the form of a prince from a small European country living incognito in the states where the heroine of the movie has no clue of his lineage and loves him anyway. We'll meet our princely quota in the latest offering from Great American Family but instead of a prince in disguise, this future king is clearly just that.

Here's everything we know about A Cinderella Christmas Ball including a Parade exclusive sneak peek. Take a look.

What is A Cinderella Christmas Ball about?

With only the Internet, a plane ticket and a lifelong determination to find her birth family, Chelsea (Danica McKellar) travels to royal hamlet, Havenshire, at Christmas. Along the way, she sneaks into a castle, teaches a stubborn Prince (Oliver Rice) how to dance, and looks to be in the perfect place when the bells toll Christmas Eve.
