Chad Michael Murray is making 2025 a year to remember.

The actor posed for a sexy themed calendar for Netflix ahead of his stripped-down role as a hunky dancer in the Christmas rom-com The merry gentlemen.

“So look, I might have the perfect white elephant gift for your holiday party,” Murray, 43, says in a video posted on Netflix’s Instagram page along with all 12 monthly snapshots. “Check out my 2025 calendar.”

The shirtless Murray in each of the photos gets festive for each month, with red underwear and Cupid’s arrow for Valentine’s Day in February, bunny ears for Easter in April, an American flag on the Fourth of July, and jack-o-lanterns for Halloween in October. For her birthday in August, Murray is holding a sprinkle-covered cake.

The merry gentlemen is about a former big-city dancer (Britt Robertson) who, while at home for the holidays, orchestrates a Christmas-themed all-male revue to try to save her parents’ small-town music venue.

Murray previously told PEOPLE that he “never danced professionally or trained in any way” before becoming dedicated to mastering his dance moves for this role.

“As we get older, it’s not as easy as it used to be when we were in our 20s, so it was a lot of work, dedication and focus,” he said.

“We did six-hour days in the ballroom. I got there before all the other guys, so I could learn the majority of all the things before they got there, because some of the guys have previous dance training. I wanted to be ahead of the curve, so I didn’t hold anyone back, if I had to do this I would be all in.

Meanwhile, Marla Sokoloff, actor and writer of the film, said she was impressed with Murray and Robertson on set.

“I’ve never been with so many people who have such impressive abs – including Brit!” the Full House said the alum, 43. “Not to mention how lovely they all were. The set was super fun. I loved chatting with Chad about our time in the early years and how we had so many mutual friends but never met or worked together before.”

Robertson, 34, confirmed her costar Murray was completely “immersed” during her first interaction with him at dance rehearsals – he was even wearing “full hip-hop gear” and knee pads.

“He seemed to put a lot of effort into it and he cared a lot,” she said. “I always think it’s a good sign when your actors care about what they’re doing. So I was impressed.”

Murray said his wife Sarah Roemer was “nervous” about the film at first when he first showed her behind-the-scenes videos.

“She was like, ‘Oh my God, what are you doing?’ Because depending on how you shoot it and how you light it, it can be a completely different film,” he explained. “It’s a fine line to thread a Christmas movie and strippers and make it work, right? It’s not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Christmas. So for us it was really about making sure the tone was right.”

said the actor The merry gentlemen “is not your standard, formatted genre piece for the holidays.”

“We’re doing a male dance revue, so it’s a little bit hot and bothered under the collar, which is great, but the romance is there, the sparks are flying, we’ve got some good comedy beats in there that will make you laugh out loud,” he said .

Directed by Peter Sullivan, the film also stars Beth Broderick, Michael Gross, Maxwell Caulfield, Hector David Jr., Colt Prattes and Marc Anthony Samuel.

As Murray puts it, the creative team was able to “push the envelope a little bit” with the film.
