Cozy up this holiday season with ’12 Dates of Christmas’ narrated by Natasha Rothwell

Beginning Thursday, November 26, HBO Max premieres a new romantic reality series set in a winter wonderland, 12 Dates of Christmas from Sam Dean (showrunner of Love is Blind) and with Natasha Rothwell (Insecure) narrating.

12 Dates follows three hopelessly romantic singles Faith, Chad and Garrett on their journey to meet that special someone to bring home for the holidays. The eight-episode reality series will drop three episodes on Thanksgiving, three more episodes on December 3 and the final two episodes on December 10.

The romance begins at a fairytale castle in Austria where ten magical wintery dates await – from ugly sweater parties and an intriguing masquerade ball to après-ski activities, these dates are sure to send temperatures soaring. As in all great rom-coms, our romantic leads’ paths to love won’t be easy. Just as they make connections, new love interests arrive, adding plenty of twists, turns – and hopefully – holiday cheer. Along the way, they’ll face regular elimination ceremonies, complicated blasts from the past and no shortage of conflicting emotions. After bringing someone home for the holidays, they must decide whether to commit or walk away forever by the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. 

12 Dates of Christmas is produced by Objective Media Group America, an All3Media America company with Jilly Pearce and Layla Smith serving as Executive Producers. The show was created by Michael Beilinson, with Sam Dean as Showrunning Executive Producer and Suzy Ratner as Co-Executive Producer.
