Although it’s only August, the holiday spirit is already alive and well on the set of Blended Christmas. Led by Jennifer Freeman (‘The Black Hamptons’) and Anthony Dalton from Tyler Perry’s Sistas, the film is set to premiere this holiday season on BET+. Directed and written by Tamala Baldwin, Blended Christmas is a heartwarming narrative that delves into the complexities of modern family life.
The film follows newlyweds April and Michael, played by Freeman and Dalton, whose tropical dream honeymoon is abruptly interrupted by a family crisis. Michael’s ex-wife, Nicole, unexpectedly needs their help, forcing the couple to navigate a holiday filled with tension, unforeseen challenges, and the mysterious presence of Lillian, a nurse who offers her unique holiday services. As the story unfolds, the couple discovers that what initially seemed like a nightmarish Christmas might actually bring them closer together.
Victoria Rowell as Lillian, DreamDoll as Nicole, Lamar Cheston as Marshall, Lulu Lopez as Stephanie, Charles Batson as Jayden, and Carlee Elston as Gabriella round out the cast for Blended Christmas.
Producer Cecil Chambers of Triumphant Pictures expressed his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “When I first read the script, I was immediately drawn to the heart and authenticity of the story. Blended Christmas is not just a holiday film; it’s a reflection of the evolving family dynamics that so many people experience today. I wanted to produce this film because it offers a fresh, meaningful narrative that resonates with audiences from all walks of life, reminding us that family is defined by love and connection.”
In an era where the definition of family is continuously expanding, Blended Christmas presents a timely celebration of diverse family structures. From divorce and adoption to LGBTQ families, the film underscores that love and connection are the true foundations of family, regardless of its makeup. Director Tamala Baldwin added, “The American family is changing, and with that comes the need for new narratives. Family is not defined by tradition or blood alone, but by the love that binds us together. Blended Christmas aims to spark dialogue and showcase how even in the most challenging circumstances, modern families can thrive.”
