One week before Christmas, the gorgeous Margaret, Duchess of Montenaro (Hudgens) switches places with Stacy (also Hudgens), a “commoner” from Chicago who looks exactly like her.

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Netflix seems to be getting most of their festive-themed movies out sooner rather than later, with their newest one seeing Vanessa Hudgens in a dual role as she experiences a Prince and the Pauper kind of fairy tale that young girls will be enchanted by.
