The reality television personality, 52, and the Breaking Bad actress, 48, will fill the lead roles in the forthcoming Christmas-themed feature, which is set to make its debut later this year.

The feature will follow friends Trish and Diana, who serve as the Christmas Queens of North Pole, Vermont, and have won their town’s Best Holiday House decorating competition for nine years straight.
When a friendship-ending argument drives the two apart, a major divide in the town occurs regarding supporters of the former pals.
Their situation is only exacerbated when a reporter picks up on the story and begins writing an expose on the pair entitled ‘Real Housewives of the North Pole.’
The upcoming feature will be helmed by director Ron Oliver from a script written by Tippi, Neal and Spyder Dobrofsky.
