Netflix Is Releasing The Feel-Good Movie Operation Christmas Drop Next Month

Here’s what you need to know about this exciting new flick: “Chasing a promotion, congressional aide Erica Miller forgoes family Christmas to travel across the Pacific at her boss’s behest. Upon landing at a beachside Air Force base, she clashes with her guide, Captain Andrew Jantz, who knows her assignment is finding reasons to defund the facility.” We smell a sizzling romance in the air!

But wait, there’s more: “The pilot’s pet project — Operation: Christmas Drop, a genuine, decades-old tradition where gifts and supplies are parachuted to residents of remote neighboring islands — has lawmakers wondering if his unit has too much spare energy. Despite their initial opposing goals, Erica softens once she experiences the customs and communal spirit of Andrew’s adopted home.”

Netflix’s Operation Christmas Drop Was Shot On A Military Base

The movie is the second Netflix Christmas rom-com for Graham who starred in 2018’s The Holiday Calendar. She had great things to say about her experience: “I love the fact that it was about a real mission that the Air Force does every year. I loved that I was playing a congresswoman’s aide, [working] to shut down the mission. In a lot of ways, it was the opposite of our last film, as this character was a bit of a Grinch. It was so much fun to read, and even more, fun to shoot. It’s the most fun I have ever had on a set.”

She added, “The best part of shooting in Guam was always being close to the water and really shooting in paradise. The challenge of shooting in Guam was that there has never been a scripted film that has ever shot there before. We were the first, and it definitely felt like it. Thank God for a great producer!”

Ludwig also loved being on the island saying, “Guam was such a cool experience — I mean, when else would I ever get a chance to go there? The best part, hands down, was experiencing life on the base and getting to know the island. Challenge had to be the heat.”

Because they shot the film on a working Air Force Base, “The security was incredibly tight,” Graham says. “There were jets flying above our heads while we were shooting scenes. It was one of the most remarkable experiences I’ve ever had.”
