A Very Nutty Christmas\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

A Very Nutty Christmas<\/a>, a Lifetime movie starring Melissa Joan Hart and Barry Watson, is a comedy about a baker who falls in love with a Nutcracker who has come to life. Kate Holiday (Hart) is a hardworking bakery owner who has more orders than she has time to fill this holiday season. When her boyfriend suddenly breaks up with her, any shred of Christmas joy she was hanging onto disappears. Then, a handsome soldier, who may or may not be the Nutcracker Prince from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, shows up. Filmed in May of 2018, this was actually the first time Olde Mistick Village<\/a> was used as a set for a movie! Among the outdoor village locations, much of the filming took place at Jealous Monk<\/a> and Lee & Company<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
