The cast includes new additions and seasoned actors who return each year to celebrate the season.

In the cast this year are Ed Benson, Craig Ewing, Bill Stone, Sean Stone, Forrest Heintz, Alex Killian, Anna Killian, Denise Paulette, Sydney Prins, Becky Rappin, Leslayann Schecterson, Julia Buck, Rene Schucter, Robin Walbeck-Forrest, Brydian Forrest, Rebekah McFarland, Avery Dahline, Tony Dambrava, James Kolke and Gary Schwartz as Scrooge.
