In addition to their Christmas special, the Napiers will also appear in one of four new Christmas movies for discovery+. 

A Christmas Open House follows Melissa Norwood (Katie Stevens), an ambitious Atlanta property stager. She joins forces with her old high school crush David Phelps (Victor Rasuk) to sell her mother’s home in their small Georgia hometown. Melissa gets some extra help with that project from artists Henry and Sarah Wright (Ben and Erin Napier). The goal is to get the house ready by Christmas. As the deadline approaches, a romance grows between Melissa and David. But could their different goals be a deal breaker for the new relationship?

In an Instagram post, Erin opened up about filming their part in the movie at a decidedly un-Christmasy time of the year. 

“We filmed our parts in Laurel 3 days in August when the high was 103° so I need y’all to appreciate how not sweaty we may appear to be here,” she shared. “It’s a renovation story within a love story within a Christmas story (and it honestly looks pretty cute).” 

A Christmas Open House is streaming on discovery+ starting Nov. 11.
