Based on the Audible series of the same name (starring Cobie Smulders and Raymond Ablack), Mistletoe Murders follows follows Emily Lane (Drew), “the outwardly friendly, and optimistic shop owner of a charming year-round Christmas-themed store, Under the Mistletoe,” reads the official synopsis. “However, her inner voice reveals a sardonic sense of humor, cunning intellect, and keen eye for details most people would miss…because Emily has a big secret. Residing in the quaint tourist town of Fletcher’s Grove, Emily finds herself compelled to investigate not-so-quaint local murders. And when Emily begins her personal investigations, Detective Sam Wilner (Mooney), a smart local cop – with a crush on Emily that is not completely unrequited – begins to wonder if there’s more to Emily than meets the eye.”

The cast also includes newcomer Sierra Marilyn Riley as Sam’s teenaged daughter, Jean Yoon (Kim’s Convenience), Lara Amersey (Operation Nutcracker) and Kylee Evans (Good Witch). Additionally, David Hewlett (See) recurs, while Tom Cavanagh (The Flash), Jake Epstein (Suits) and Steven Lund (Schitt’s Creek) appear in guest-star roles.
