Netflix is gearing up for the holiday season with a fresh rom-com that’s bound to add a sprinkle of festive cheer. Titled Meet Me Next Christmas, the movie stars Christina Milian and Kofi Siriboe and is slated to premiere just in time for the holiday festivities on Nov 6. This marks Milian’s third collaboration with the streaming platform, following her successful roles in Resort to Love (2021) and Falling Inn Love (2019). Not only is Milian leading the cast, but she’s also taking on the role of executive producer for the film.
In Meet Me Next Christmas, Milian plays Layla, a woman on a wild chase through New York City to secure the most coveted ticket of the season—the sold-out Pentatonix Christmas Eve Concert—all in the hopes of sparking a fairy-tale romance with the man of her dreams. The cast also includes Devale Ellis, Kalen Allen, Tymika Tafari, Nikki Duval, Wesley French, and the Grammy-winning a cappella group Pentatonix, whose members Mitch Grassi, Scott Hoying, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee will make appearances.
Directed by Rusty Cundieff, known for his work on Chappelle’s Show and White Water, the film is penned by Molly Haldeman and Camilla Rubis, who have previously worked on projects like The Neighborhood and Malibu Rescue. Behind the scenes, the production team includes producer Mark Roberts (The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia, Water and Power), with Simon Lythgoe and Matt Code joining Milian as executive producers.
Production for Meet Me Next Christmas is set to kick off next week, with the film expected to light up screens on Netflix this holiday season. Fans of Milian’s previous romantic comedies can look forward to her charm and chemistry in yet another heartwarming narrative, perfect for cozying up with a cup of hot cocoa.
Milian, whose acting credits include Love Don’t Cost a Thing (2003) and holiday classics like Christmas Cupid and Memories of Christmas, has proven herself a favorite in the rom-com genre. As Netflix ramps up its holiday content, Meet Me Next Christmas is positioned to be a standout, offering fans a blend of romance, humor, and the magical allure of Christmas in New York City. Keep your eyes peeled for this festive treat—it’s sure to be a hit for rom-com lovers and holiday enthusiasts alike
