Alexa and Carlos PenaVega were spotted at the Empire State Building in New York City on December 2, celebrating the launch of The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle season. The couple joined Kenneth and Jolene Hodder of The Salvation Army to mark the event, kicking off the holiday season.
That same day, the trailer for their upcoming Great American Family movie Get Him Back for Christmas was released. The movie centers around Alexa’s character, Bella Harlan, a singer-songwriter who returns home for Christmas and reconnects with her high school songwriting partner, Jack Grayton (played by Carlos). The pair work together to create a song to win back Bella’s rockstar boyfriend, but in the process, they rediscover their own feelings for each other. The movie highlights Jack’s involvement with The Salvation Army, and Bella is inspired by his dedication to helping others.
The film also features new, original music from the PenaVegas, who also served as producers. Get Him Back for Christmas premieres on Great American Family on December 14. Other stars in the movie include Abbey Romeo, Kevin Valdez, Alan Powell, Marcus Johns, Mario Lopez, and Victoria Jackson.
The couple’s appearance at the Empire State Building was a part of the festivities surrounding the movie’s release, and it marks a special connection to The Salvation Army, which plays a central role in the movie’s plot.
