It is the fifth installment of "A Cinderella Story" film series. The film was released digitally on October 15, 2019, and DVD on October 29, 2019. Katherine "Kat" Decker (Laura Marano) is a young teenage girl who dreams of becoming a great singer-songwriter. Unfortunately after her father, Jason, died, she is left in the care of her evil, snobby stepmother, Deirdra (Johannah Newmarch), and her two equally cruel and snobby stepsisters, Joy (Lillian Doucet-Roche) and Grace (Chanelle Peloso). They work Kat to the bone as a servant, they have full control of her inheritance, and take a big percentage of her wage earnings from work. Kat's goal is to make enough money to move out of her home and pursue her dreams. One day while out Christmas shopping with her stepfamily, on her way to work, she falls down with a coffee drink spilled on her. One of the people in who shows sympathy to her was Dominic "Nick" Wintergarden (Gregg Sulkin), son of billionaire, Terrence Wintergarden (Barclay Hope). Kat works at "Santa Land", a Christmas entertainment park owned by Terrence Wintergarden, as a singer along with her best friend, Isla (Isabella Gomez), under the eye of their strict boss, Mr. Mujiza. There they meet a new employee as the new Santa, who, unknown to them, is really Dominic Wintergarden, and after Nick sees Kat perform, he is smitten by her. Deirdra wants to find some way to take advantage of someone rich and get more money. She wants to go to a charity event Terrence is hosting, but she doesn't have a way to get in. Then through Grace's mumbling, she suggests taking advantage of Terrence's personal connection to Kat's late father. Apparently, Jason and Terrence were best friends who travelled the world together and explored, but they have since lost contact and Terrence has no idea his best friend died. They devise a plan to enter the charity event as Deirdra being the widow of the late Jason Decker and her two daughters. However, a letter from Terrence requests the presence of Deirdra and Katherine Decker, so Joy will be impersonating Kat to make the scam work in their favor while leaving the real Kat in the dark and with nothing.
