Kelsey Grammer stars alongside his daughter Spencer Grammer in the Lifetime holiday movie, "12 Days of Christmas Eve." The film follows workaholic corporate tycoon Brian Conway, played by Kelsey, as he must repeat Christmas Eve over and over until he gets it right. Brian only has 12 chances to find the true meaning of Christmas — or he'll never see Christmas Day (via Deadline).
His estranged daughter, Michelle, played by Spencer, holds the key to changing Brian's life for the better. The up-and-coming actor told KTLA that her father developed the movie with his own production company and then got the idea to cast her in this role alongside him. Spencer exclusively told The List that acting with her father "was such a pleasure." However, Kelsey wasn't sure his daughter would commit to the movie.
He admitted in an interview with People that their relationship blows "hot and cold like all fathers and daughters do." Considering the movie follows a father and daughter with an up-and-down history, the characters fit their real-life experiences too. This is one reason why Spencer connected with hers so well. Both actors saw making "12 Days of Christmas Eve" as a "healing" experience. Spencer even jokingly thanked Lifetime "for the therapy!"
