‘Happy Howlidays’ Was Ezra Moreland’s 1st Acting Role
“Happy Howlidays” was not only Moreland’s first movie, but his first acting role, so landing a second movie is a big deal for the former Navy rescue diver.
After winning the competition, Moreland told Entertainment Weekly, he had nearly two months to take acting classes and learn his lines for “Happy Howlidays.” Having never acted before, Moreland told the outlet that the film shoot in Vancouver was “the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it was amazing and I can’t wait for everybody to see it.”
“Finding Mr. Christmas” co-creator and host Jonathan Bennett has been rooting him on since he won the competition, posting a tribute to the Moreland on his February 26 birthday.
He wrote, “Thank you for always being your true self and making everyone around you say, ‘What on earth is Ezra doing now?’ You bring so much Joy to the World, and your future is Merry and Bright. So proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished since being crowned, we can’t wait to see what you do next.”
“Finding Mr. Christmas” has been renewed for a second season, filming this spring, and will air in 2025 on Hallmark Channel. Given Moreland’s continuing presence will Hallmark, there’s a good chance he’ll make an appearance alongside hosts Bennett and Melissa Peterman.
