Casting is underway for a Nick Jonas-led Christmas movie for Netflix.

The “Untitled Nick Jonas Christmas Project” is set to begin filming in New Jersey on Jan. 19, 2027. Jonas will play the main character, “Tom Benton.”

The production is looking for toddlers to play “Abigail Benton.”

The casting note describes the character as "Tom’s young, precocious cousin, with a friendly, outgoing personality, whose mother, Natalie, has recently died. Abigail and her relationship with Tom is the true heart of the film and the source of fun and comedy as we watch the unlikely pair try to get on.”

The production is looking for twins or triplets who can play the role. The rate is $1,283 per day, for a total of just under $40,000 for about 31 days of work.
