Two TV legends are joining forces in a multi-generational holiday movie — and the casting has a touching real-life twist. Read on to discover the full story!

What the film explores

Christmas at The Starlight is set in a tight-knit American town centered on a beloved supper club where families have gathered for generations. Tony Danza plays Frank, a legendary song-and-dance man who contemplates selling the club’s lounge after 40 years, pulling three generations into an emotional journey about what’s worth saving: faith, family and home.

A personal family connection

Mario Lopez, who is also an executive producer, will play Frank’s son, while his real-life son Dominic, 12, portrays the grandson. Mario, 52, called working opposite Danza and having Dominic on set “incredibly special,” praising his son’s natural talent and work ethic.
