The holiday season is almost upon us, and you know what that means TV-wise: Christmas movies! Of course, we’re all pretty excited to seeLindsay Lohan’s big comeback withFalling For Christmas, but Netflix is ready to tell you that’s not the only holiday feature film you should be looking forward to. Today the streamer released the trailer forChristmas With You, a romantic comedy that puts a music industry spin on the traditional end-of-the-year stories.
The movie centers around Angelina (Aimee Garcia) an international pop star who’s suffering from career burnout. In need of a break, Angelina decides to travel to a small town and meet a fan whose cover video spoke to her. Even thoughChristmas With Youis a light-hearted comedy at its core, the trailer reveals some pertinent comments about the music industry, especially when it comes to artists being pressured into recording Christmas albums. In addition, you can count on colorful supporting characters to add a bit of comedic flavor to how the story is handled — especially when Angelina goes to a small town to surprise a local fan.
However, if you’re in dire need of nostalgia and 90s heartthrobs,Christmas With Youalso has you covered; the trailer revealsFreddie Prinze Jr.(Star Wars Rebels) in the role of a music teacher who’s the father of Angelina’s teenage fan. In classic Christmas rom-com fashion, the music star and music teacher seem to really hit it off, to the point that both of them end up composing a song together — and with a little holiday magic, they just might fall in love.
