From Calgary director Gillian McKercher (LUCKY STAR, CIFF 2024; CIRCLE OF STEEL, CIFF 2018), A DICKENS OF A CHRISTMAS is a heartwarming holiday romance with a supernatural spin. Who doesn't need a little sparkle of Christmas joy in September?!

Zara (Ashley Newbrough, THE LOVE CLUB, UNWRAPPING CHRISTMAS) is a busy lawyer with no time for love and even less time for Christmas. Only persuaded by her best friend Chloe (Kaya Coleman, JOE PICKETT), Zara agrees to attend a Victorian-themed Christmas dinner in a historic home steeped in memory and charm. 

Unbeknownst to them, the house is haunted by their ancestor, Aubrey, a ghost with a flair for matchmaking. When Zara finds herself the unlikely recipient of a magical book about Charles Dickens, her skepticism is tested, and so is her heart.
