Meet Me Next Christmas 2024 Movie Review

Christmas is coming soon and thus the bouquet of Christmas movies -my favorite genre! The festive visuals and simple, easy-watching plots make these films a delight, and this movie is no exception.

A woman meets a man by chance, only to lose him and leave their reunion up to fate. Her last chance to see him again is at a sold-out Pentatonix Christmas concert. She enlists the help of another man in her quest to find just one ticket.

This is a simple tale filled with love, laughter, and emotion that will keep you smiling throughout. The beautiful Christmas scenes across New York City are a visual delight, drawing viewers into the warmth of the season. Though you can guess where the story is headed, you’ll still crave the sweet ending as you become invested in the characters.

Christina Milian is perfectly cast. With her spot-on fashion game, she embodies the role of a modern yet sweet-hearted girl to perfection. Devale Ellis may not be a quintessential hero material, but his innocent charm and well-written character win you over. Kalen Allen, in a small role, brings the house down as an over-the-top drag queen. And Kofi Siriboe, despite limited screen time, leaves a lasting impression with his looks and acting skills.

The songs, especially those performed on stage during the climax, are pure joy. They’ll get you grooving and wishing Christmas was here already. The sharp editing keeps the pace tight and engaging, so your interest never wanes. With just 106 minutes, it won’t take much of your time either.

If you’re looking for something lighthearted and brimming with positivity, this one should be your pick.
