“There’s a sense of magic, love, and anticipation that’s happening through the whole movie,” Christina Milian tells Tudum. “You just never know who they’re going to run into or what’s going to happen next.”
Whatever Yuletide surprises lay ahead, expect Layla to do whatever it takes to make her dreams come true. Milian calls her a 'motivated woman.'
“Layla is a girl that knows what she wants,” the actor says. “She’s got a good head on her shoulders, and when she knows she wants something, she goes for it. She doesn’t let anything stop her.”
