Tesera Entertainment, the international content distributor founded by Gene George, arrives at MIPCOM 2026 with a catalog focused on first-run TV movies for the international marketplace, with Christmas productions taking center stage. The company, established in 2019 by the former worldwide distribution executive at Starz and Lionsgate, is highlighting a slate of holiday romance and drama titles aimed at broadcasters and platforms across international markets.
The MIPCOM lineup is led by A Perfect Christmas Kiss, a Christmas romance starring Vivica A. Fox, Jackée Harry, Juliah Taylor, Josh Henderson, Michael Pare, Eric Roberts and Vanessa Angel. The film follows ambitious writer Claire, who visits a new Christmas retreat to write a career-making article but finds her professional plans challenged when she falls for the retreat’s owner, Julian.
The holiday slate also includes A Royal Christmas Secret, starring Brittany Marsicek, Craig John Burrows and Amanda Troya, which follows a chef who begins a romance with a palace handyman without knowing that he is actually a prince. Another highlight is A Royal Christmas Tree, starring Brittany Underwood and Jonathan Stoddard, centered on a woman helping her grandfather run a Christmas tree farm while an unexpected romance with a prince puts both her relationship and the future of the farm at stake.
The catalog is complemented by Chasing Christmas, starring Trevor Donovan and Jillian Murray, in which a radio host and a designer connect through a Christmas wish tree while searching for a popular toy with their children. The lineup also features Have We Met This Christmas?, starring Danica McKellar, Jesse Hutch and Charlene Amoia, about a real estate executive who develops a relationship with an innkeeper’s son after a car accident leaves her with amnesia.
Completing the MIPCOM 2026 Christmas offering is There’s No Place Like Christmas, starring Cindy Busby and Sam Page. The film follows a successful realtor who returns home to run the family business and begins questioning her priorities after meeting an attractive photographer.
Alongside its international distribution business, Tesera Entertainment has built an extensive U.S. aggregation operation, representing close to 500 movies across major streaming platforms including Peacock, Pluto, Roku, Tubi, Amazon, Samsung and Vizio. The company positions its boutique distribution model around global licensing expertise, dedicated support for broadcasters and platforms, marketing guidance and transparent reporting for content partners.
