What Is A Royal Christmas Crush About?

Starting, what is Hallmark’s A Royal Christmas Crush About? According to the synopsis, architect Ava Jensen is set to work on a very special project. She and her Uncle Karl are selected to create an “elaborate ice castle.” This is for the Royal Family, in the “enchanting frozen kingdom of Fríðrland.

This tradition dates back to 200 years ago. This is where the Royal Family relaxes before their annual Christmas Ball.

While they work on the elaborate ice palace, Ava meets the very handsome and debonaire Prince Henry. He is one of the most eligible bachelors in the world, setting hearts aflutter wherever he is. Moreover, he is also the heir to the throne. He has a lot of responsibilities. Therefore, he is a great catch, and a lot of ambitious mamas want their daughters to marry this gorgeous man.

While Ava and the Prince come from polar opposite words, the two have instant chemistry and “have become smitten by one another.”
