While some families can’t wait to reunite for the holidays, others can’t wait until they’re over – a stance Camille Winbush takes as “Carly” in the new BET+ Christmas movie ‘Holiday Hideaway.’

Also starring Vivica A. Fox, Leonard Earl Howze, Rodney Van Johnson, and Novi Brown, the film tells the story of a travel writer who “decides to take an assignment that will keep her far away from her family at Christmas” after suffering through a disastrous Thanksgiving with them. Over the course of her ‘hideaway’ she learns valuable lessons about forgiveness and fighting for love.

Fans of Ne-Yo and Serayah have seen a lot of the actor-singers together over the last year.

In the spirit of the latter the dynamic duo reunite once more, this time for the BET+ yuletide flick ‘The Sound of Christmas’ which tells the story of “a down-on-her-luck music teacher who leads a wealthy widower away from his gold-digging girlfriend and back to love and music during the Christmas holidays.”

Directed by Booker T. Mattison, ‘Sound’ also stars actress-reality TV personality Draya Michele. Peep its official trailer inside.

Christmas may be a time of love and togetherness for many around the world, but some of us know all too well the kitchen and dinner table can be an all-out warzone when the family reunites.

Starring Nadine Ellis (“Kira Miles”), Porscha Coleman (“Tisha Miles”), Candace Maxwell (“Jasmine Miles”), and a host of other familiar faces, the yuletide flick – directed by Robin Givens – tells the story of a sibling trio who “battle each other for a chance to win the neighborhood Christmas Church Cook-Off competition” but are thrown off course when a “vivacious social media influencer enters the competition and forces the sisters to decide if they’ll rise together or fall divided.”
