What is Merry Christmas Ted Cooper about?
Ted Cooper is a weatherman whose cheerful on-screen persona has been hiding a difficult personal year. When the holiday season nudges him back to his hometown, he encounters two people from his past: a mentor who never stopped believing in him, and a former crush whose presence stirs up long-buried feelings. The film follows Ted as familiar surroundings and unexpected reconnections slowly shift his outlook, reminding him of who he was before life got complicated. Without grand drama or dark twists, it builds its story around warmth and small moments, letting its characters rediscover a little joy when they need it most.
Cast & crew
Robert Buckley leads as Ted Cooper, bringing easy charm to the role of a likeable but adrift holiday hero. Kimberley Sustad plays opposite him with natural warmth, and the supporting ensemble — including Brendan Penny, Meghan Heffern, and Barbara Pollard — rounds out the small-town world with recognizable, grounded performances. Director Jason Bourque keeps the tone light and consistent throughout.

It arrives on K-Time with a full Persian dub, so you can enjoy the warmth of a Canadian holiday story entirely in Farsi with no language barrier.
