This Sunday, musical artist Tyler Hilton stars in a CBS original holiday film, When Christmas Was Young, with Fear the Walking Dead star Karen David.
Luke Dawson's career is in danger, and he can only save it by getting the recording rights to a Christmas ballad for his only client, Lindsay Wyatt. The problem is the original singer, Melody, is immune to his cocky charm.
Can Melody show Luke the true meaning of Christmas, or will he teach her to believe in her dreams again?
We chatted with Tyler about the appeal of this holiday film, working with Karen, and his favorite holiday traditions.
Hi Tyler. I loved your movie. One of the popular themes for Holiday films this year was a singer creating a hit song and someone visiting a small town to realize the true meaning of Christmas. Why do you think this theme resonates with viewers?...
