The Netflix family Christmas movie Holiday Rush follows popular New York radio DJ Rush Williams (Romany Malco), a widowed father who has been spoiling his four kids since they lost their mom (La La Anthony), to the point that they no longer appreciate what they’re privileged enough to have. When Rush loses his job, his producer Roxy Richardson (Sonequa Martin-Green) hatches a plan to help him buy another radio station, but it means that he must downsize and get his family to embrace a simpler life. And although it’s quite an adjustment, it allows them to reconnect …...

Netflix has no shortage of holiday rom-coms headed your way in November and December, so we totally understand if you're already feeling a little overwhelmed by which ones you should take the time to watch. There's only so many "small town woman who swears she's not going to fall in love, who then falls in love with handsome stranger and also saves her bakery just in time for Christmas" plots we can take, you know? Luckily the streaming giant's upcoming original film starring Sonequa Martin-Green and Romany Malco looks like a winner.

Holiday Rush revolves around popular NYC-based radio DJ and widow Rush Williams, who unexpectedly loses his job right around Christmas when his spoiled kids hit him with a list of pricey gift requests. Fortunately, his resourceful producer, Roxy Richardson (The Walking Dead's Martin-Green), and his Aunt Jo (Darlene Love) come up with a plan to help him buy another station.

"We've been knocked down before... Just gotta have a little faith." Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for another one of their holiday movies - this one titled Holiday Rush. The more of these holiday movies, the merrier! Right? Romany Malco stars as a popular radio DJ named Rush Williams, who loses his job just as his four spoiled kids hand over their Christmas lists. Through downsizing, the family starts to realize that having less could lead to more good than they ever imagined. Something we all need to think about these days anyway. The ensemble cast also features Deon Cole, Sonequa Martin-Green, Amarr M. Wooten, La La Anthony, Andrea-Marie Alphonse, Selena-Marie Alphonse, Alysia Livingston, Deysha Nelson, Roscoe Orman, Malika Samuel, as well as Tamala Jones and Darlene Love. Yes this looks super duper cheesy, but it has some good lessons for all of us. Just like every other holiday movie before it.
