Directed by Luke Snellin and written by Victoria Strouse, ‘Let It Snow’ is a Christmas film which you must check out, whether you live in Canada or not. In October 2019, Isabela changed her last name from Moner to Merced in honor of her late Peruvian grandmother, explaining to Refinery29 that the name "represents everything that has and will continue to define me.

Who She Is: It's the live-action Dora, people! Isabela's breakout was in this year's Dora and the Lost City of Gold, having previously (and kind of ironically) voicing a different character for three years on Nickelodeon's animated television spinoff series Dora and Friends: Into the City! Before that, the 18-year-old starred in Nickelodeon's 100 Things to Do Before High School and appeared in Transformers: The Last Knight. Isabela Merced Who She Plays: Julie, whose plans to avoid going to Columbia to stay at home to care for her sick mom are thrown for a loop when she unexpectedly bumps into pop star Stuart.

All other Christmas movies waiting to be released in 2019 can go home now because Let It Snow is officially our new holiday obsession.īased on the 2008 novel of the same name by The Fault In Our Stars author John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle, Netflix's latest original movie tells the tale of three adorable and interconnecting love stories in the small town of Laurel, Illinois on Christmas Eve.
