Some people live for the holidays, and not necessarily because they love gift-giving and spending time with family. They love it because they are showered with Christmas movies, some from big studios, many from Lifetime who have made a market out of them, and on Netflix who are muscling in on that territory, as well. Case in point: the new trailer for Best. Christmas. Ever!, a holiday comedy led by Brandy Norwood, Jason Biggs, and Heather Graham.
Also starring Matt Cedeño, Jason Biggs, Wyatt Hunt, Abby Villasmil, and Madison Skye Validum, the film centers on old college friends whose friendship is tested over a boastful Christmas letter.
The film is directed by Mary Lambert, a veteran filmmaker known for directing Pet Sematary and its sequel, as well as The In Crowd which Gen-Xers probably remember well. This is Lambert’s second holiday movie for Netflix after 2021’s A Castle for Christmas.
Here’s the synopsis: Every Christmas, Jackie sends a boastful holiday newsletter that makes her old college friend Charlotte feel like a lump of coal. When a twist of fate lands Charlotte and her family on Jackie’s snowy doorstep just days before Christmas, she seizes the opportunity to prove her old friend’s life can’t possibly be that perfect. Starring Heather Graham, Brandy Norwood, Jason Biggs, and Matt Cedeño.
Best. Christmas. Ever! hits Netflix on November 16th.
