Complete cast breakdown of Twelve Dates 'Til Christmas: Who plays whom & where you’ve seen them before

Twelve Dates 'Til Christmas revolves around a fictional English village where Kate, the protagonist, is seen as a textile designer. Kate moves back to the aforementioned village to take care of her father, Mac. The years go by, and after four, she finds herself stuck in a rut. She's showcased as a happy single woman, but with a mundane lifestyle. The story gains inertia as Kate gets pulled into a local Christmas-themed dating program by her best friend, Laura. The program consists of 12 consecutive dates, which are curated until Christmas. Kate is reluctant but joins the program due to being forced by her friends.
