We are over the freakin’ moon to announce that the first officially attached (and now publicly confirmable!) major cast member for A Caliente Christmas is none other than Eliana Jones!
Yes, that Eliana Jones — the one who’s been lighting up screens from Acapulco to Shoresy (for all my Canadians out there, you know exactly what’s up) to the dark twists of Night Hunter. She’s talented, hilarious, and has that unteachable spark that makes every scene she’s in a little more electric.
Eliana joins our production as Emily, the whip-smart, ride-or-die best friend every woman deserves when her life, career, and love story are all colliding into the world’s most chaotic Christmas.
Picture this: Lucía, our ambitious marketing exec, is sent to Mexico to save a failing tequila brand. She’s drowning in work, salsa, and love drama. Who’s in her corner? Eliana freakin’ Jones — the friend who shows up with tequila before advice, the one who’ll roast your ex, hype your outfit, and accidentally start a conga line during your emotional breakdown.
Emily is the tequila-fueled compass that keeps Lucía’s world from completely exploding. Eliana brings the perfect blend of grounded warmth and unfiltered humor — the kind of best friend who will drag you out of heartbreak with a dance-off and a pep talk that ends with, “Now, finish your margarita and go flirt with destiny.”
If you’ve seen Acapulco (the Apple TV+ hit dripping with color, comedy, and charm), you already know she’s got magnetic screen presence and perfect comedic rhythm. If you’ve watched Shoresy, you know she can spar with the best of them and deliver a line like a sniper. And if you survived Night Hunter, well, you know she’s got the dramatic chops to take on any twist we throw her way.
Simply put, she’s the perfect “best friend energy” — funny enough to steal scenes, grounded enough to make you care, and cool enough that you’ll wish she were your actual friend.
Filming kicks off in 2026 across the breathtaking Casa Aceves distilleries in Jalisco, Mexico, where we’ll be mixing holiday magic, salsa, and heart in the sunniest Christmas movie ever made.
We couldn’t be prouder to have Eliana on board. She’s the emotional heartbeat and comic relief rolled into one, the tequila with the lime, the chaos with the confidence — and she’s about to make A Caliente Christmas unforgettable.
Welcome to the family, Eliana Jones. Grab your heels, your playlist, and your passport — Mexico’s calling.
Follow KKW Studios for more casting announcements, behind-the-scenes teasers, and enough excitement to keep Santa jealous till 2026.
Because let’s face it, if your best friend isn’t Eliana Jones, you’re doing Christmas wrong.
