SYNOPSIS:

THE PERFECT HOLIDAY is a heart-warming holiday story of Nancy (played by Gabrielle Union - “Daddy’s Little Girl” & “Bring it On”), a loving single mother of three who falls for Benjamin (Morris Chestnut – “Best Man”, “Like Mike” & “Breakin’ All the Rules”), a talented but struggling songwriter who is working part-time as a mall Santa. Conflicts arise when her oldest son, 10 year old John-John, convinces his younger brother and sister to join him in mischievous plots and schemes against their mother’s new boyfriend in the hopes that she will reunite with his hero - their rap-mogul father J-Jizzy (Charlie Murphy). Being narrated by Queen Latifah in a magical role of “Mother Christmas” opposite Terrence Howard, who plays a hard-to-dislike Scrooge-ish character named “Bah-Humbug”, THE PERFECT HOLIDAYsuccessfully brings together all the elements that will make this a Holiday Classic.
