So Taylor Lautner has Valentine’s Day, now Kellan Lutz has his own holiday. He is slated to star in A Misfits Christmas with Ashley Tisdale and Brittany Snow rounding out the headliners.

According to Moviehole (Ashley Hillard on their staff is a producer and they got the scoop):

“[Misfits’] an escalating drama about eight friends who spend consecutive Christmas Eve’s together during their four years of college”, explains writer/director Tabb. ”As we drop in on them annually, we watch the characters lose their innocence and form a dysfunctional family with interwoven relationships.

”Though their majors vary, what they have in common is a sense of humor, charisma, attractiveness, and nothing else better to do than spend Christmas with one another”, Tabb says of his characters. ”These character arcs take place over four years, highlighted at their annual Christmas soirees at [Lutz’s character] Scott’s epic, rockin’ pad – his parents’ property investment that they are letting him live in while at college.”

“Twilight star Kellan Lutz has always been very vocal about his love for rescue pups Kola and Kevin. But now, the actor is taking the cause of animal adoption to a national platform, serving as PETA’s latest spokesperson in their “Adopt, Don’t Buy” campaign.

Shot by celebrity photographer Collin Stark, the advertisement features Lutz posed with his first dog, Kola. “She’s my best friend,” he tells PETA in an exclusive interview. “There are countless numbers of animals out there. It’s our job to take them under our wing.”
