Lamon Archey Shines Bright in “Christmas by Design” — A Holiday Romance with Heart, Humor, and Second Chances
Greetings, soap fans and holiday movie lovers! Get ready for a festive treat because Days of Our Lives alum Lamon Archey, beloved for his role as Eli Grant, is bringing his signature charm to the big screen in a brand-new romantic holiday film that’s already creating buzz — Christmas by Design.
This isn’t your typical made-for-TV Christmas movie. Directed by Patricia Cuffie Jones and co-written by Jones and Kim Hornsby, Christmas by Design blends cutting-edge technology, heartfelt romance, and that signature holiday sparkle into a story that feels fresh yet timeless.
Archey stars as Noah, a brilliant but emotionally guarded IT expert whose life revolves around computer code — not Christmas cheer.
When a massive data breach threatens to derail a high-profile charity’s holiday fundraiser, Noah is called in to fix the digital disaster. But there’s a twist — the charity belongs to his ex, Sophia, played by the radiant Celeste Seda, a fashion designer whose handbags and holiday galas have made her a social media darling.
Years ago, Noah and Sophia’s love story ended in heartbreak, and seeing each other again brings back old wounds — and undeniable sparks.
As they work together to track down the cybercriminals and save the charity’s future, their emotional defenses begin to crumble.
Between long nights in front of glowing computer screens and tender moments under the mistletoe, Christmas by Design becomes a moving story of forgiveness, rediscovery, and the courage to love again.
Director Patricia Cuffie Jones paints each scene with cinematic beauty — from snow-dusted city streets to glittering charity galas — making every frame feel like a holiday postcard.
The script smartly balances modern tech tension with classic romantic beats, proving that even in a world driven by algorithms, the human heart still writes the best code.
Archey’s performance is the film’s emotional anchor. As Noah, he brings quiet strength and vulnerability, effortlessly moving between intensity and tenderness.
His chemistry with Seda is undeniable — electric yet authentic — reminding fans why they first fell in love with his work on Days of Our Lives. Seda’s portrayal of Sophia is equally compelling, revealing a woman torn between ambition and love, independence and longing.
The supporting cast adds warmth and humor, especially Danielle Laro as a quirky tech assistant whose quick wit provides levity amid the film’s emotional moments. Combined with a cozy soundtrack of classic carols and new original songs, the film radiates festive cheer from start to finish.
For Lamon Archey, Christmas by Design marks an exciting new chapter — a role that allows him to showcase his range and charisma beyond the soap opera world. It’s a film that celebrates second chances, holiday miracles, and the enduring belief that love — like Christmas — always finds its way home.
So grab your cocoa, curl up by the fire, and let Christmas by Design remind you that even in the digital age, true love never goes offline.
