Get ready for a touch of holiday romance as two-time Grammy-nominated singer Jordin Sparks return to our screens in the holiday romantic film "Merry Little Mystery," exclusively on The Roku Channel on November 19! This Roku Original follows a small-town Secret Santa who unexpectedly finds love in this heartwarming film.

Directed by Caroline Labrèche with a screenplay by Casie Tabanou and Alison Spuck, the film follows Natasha Maxwell (Jordin Sparks), who returns to her grandparents' home in the small town of Roundtop to spend the holidays. This Christmas, she's taking on a big responsibility – stepping into her grandfather's boots as the town's beloved Secret Santa, quietly delivering gifts to deserving neighbors. But when an investigative reporter arrives, determined to uncover the identity of the mysterious gift-giver, Natasha scrambles to keep the secret – and unexpectedly falls in love.

Joining Sparks, Keon Alexander and BJ Harrison both bring their charm and warmth to this delightful holiday film.

Sparks took to social media to share her excitement, stating, "So excited for you to watch 'Merry Little Mystery' this upcoming Holiday Season only on Roku! I had such a fun time filming with the best cast and crew, and loved watching the whole process come to life."

"Merry Little Mystery" is available to stream on The Roku Channel and available online at TheRokuChannel.com on November 19.
