Jingle Bell Heist cast and characters
Netflix named seven leads. Smaller parts come from Wikipedia and JustWatch, and the table says which is which.
The seven names Netflix published
Olivia Holt is Sophia Martin, the Philadelphia transplant who lifts a diamond dog collar and then plans something larger. Connor Swindells is Nick O’Connor, the security man Maxwell set up. Lucy Punch plays Cynthia Sterling, Maxwell’s wife and the person who changes the job. Peter Serafinowicz is Maxwell Sterling, owner of the invented store Sterlings. Poppy Drayton is Brianna, Nick’s ex-wife. Natasha Joseph is Rita Martin, Sophia’s mother. Michael Salami is Ralph, a colleague on the shop floor. Those seven role names are the ones I treat as the studio list.
Everyone else, with a source count
Ed Kear’s Eddie Morris, the guard who gets blamed, shows up in the Wikipedia cast and in the plot write-ups, so I mark him as two sources. The rest of the supporting names below are carried by Wikipedia, with a few extra bit parts only on JustWatch. I did not promote a one-source billing into the lead row. Cross-year casting for other films that share the search is on the comparison page.
