Julian Morris on Twelve Dates ‘Til Christmas
The “Twelve Dates ‘Til Christmas” story is a classic theme that brings both excitement and fear.
In the Hallmark series Twelve Dates ‘Til Christmas, actor Julian Morris plays this out perfectly.
He plays Callum, the best friend of Kate (played by Mae Whitman).
While Kate tries to find love through a holiday dating program, her deep connection with Callum starts to turn into something more.
The Fear of Telling the Truth
For Morris, the idea of his character falling in love with a best friend is “terrifying.”
He told PEOPLE magazine that confessing your feelings feels like putting your most important friendship at risk.
- Deep Bonds: Callum and Kate understand each other perfectly and share a strong foundation.
- Hidden Tension: Beneath the friendship, there is a romantic “heat” that they cannot ignore.
- Making Excuses: They spend all their time together using “friendship” as an excuse, even though their feelings are growing stronger.
High Risks and Big Rewards
Callum faces a difficult choice. If he admits he loves Kate, he might lose her forever if she doesn’t feel the same way.
However, Morris believes that because their friendship is so beautiful, it could create a “wonderful” romantic relationship.
This mix of high stakes and deep emotion is why so many people love stories about friends falling in love.
A Positive Experience on Set
Morris loved playing Callum because the character is a “salt of the earth” guy who always puts other people first.
He also had a great time filming the series with co-stars like Jane Seymour and Mary McDonnell.
He described the set as a very positive place to work. He especially enjoyed working with Mae Whitman and noted that everyone was kind and professional, with no “diva” behavior.
This friendly environment helped the actors bring the heartfelt story to life.
