Meet Me Next Christmas Review and Recap

Meet Me Next Christmas 



It is that time for holiday movies and I am here for it. Netflix has so many that I do not even know where to begin but my first watch was Meet Me Next Christmas and I enjoyed it more than I expected. Meet Me Next Christmas stars Christina Milian, Devale Ellis, Kofi Siriboe, Kalen Allen, and The Pentatonix. First of all, you had me at Pentatonix because I love them. 


Now Christina Milian is the queen of these little romcom movies and I always try to catch her because she’s cute, adorable, and seems like a really nice person. I watched her in Resort to Love which was super cute and enjoyable. I also watched Falling In Love. These were my two recent watches. I like to root for her because of her bad breakup with The Dream even though she is doing great now and has remarried. I believe she has been dating her husband since 2017, and they were married in 2020 and welcomed two new babies. 


Devale Ellis her leading man is another one I am rooting for because I remember watching and following his growth on Instagram with his beautiful wife and family. Now I never watched Sisters but I was excited for him when he got the role and then it was expanded to another spin-off show. His acting has improved considerably over the years so it is nice to see him improve and continue to get work. 


Now Meet Me Next Christmas is about two star-crossed lovers who happen to meet each other on Christmas Eve and hit it off but Layla, played by Christina, is currently in a relationship. Before leaving her James, played by Kofi Siriboe, proposes that if they are both single next year they meet up at the annual Pentatonix concert. I will not spoil it with the recaps just yet, but, suffice it to say, Layla ends up being single and goes on a little journey with Teddy, played by Devale, to meet with James at the concert the following year. 


It was a fun, cutesy watch. Christina Milian had great chemistry with her male costars. Kalen Allen who played a cousin was a hilarious addition. I enjoyed Pentatonix's role in the movie as well. They were also in Candy Cane Lane, I think last year, and they were fun but the role was more like a cameo whereas in Meet Me Next Christmas they had a larger role. It was fun to see them interacting with each other. All in all, it was a cute, wholesome movie to brighten your day. 


This rating is a Christmas Rom-com rating.


Meet Me Next Christmas: 8.5

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob...

Ludacris is Dashing Through the Snow  You can listen to the podcast here. Dashing Through the Snow was released on Disney+ just in time for the holidays. It stars Ludarcis as the main character, Eddie, and Lil Rel Howery as Nick Sinter Clause. Teyonah Parris and Oscar Nuñez also lend supporting roles in this joyful take on a now-holiday classic theme of dealing with someone who has lost faith in Santa Claus.  Eddie Garrick lost his faith in Santa Claus as a young boy after his parent split up on Christmas day. Fast forward to his adulthood, he completely hates Christmas and his marriage is on the verge of ending. In comes this person that he thinks is pretending to be Santa to shake up his night and his life. Will Eddie believe again?  The movie starts off on the right track with a look back at what happened to a young Eddie that seemingly led to his parents' split. I enjoyed the opening scene but got a little skeptical when Ludacris came on. His acting though good is not...

Squid Game Season 2 Teaser Trailer

Squid Game Season 2 Teaser Trailer Okay, I am not going to lie to you all, I watched season one of the Squid Game series by complete accident because my son and daughter were watching it, and I was curious. I think they were on the third or fourth episode, and I got hooked. It seems so long ago and came at the right time. I have been waiting not-so-patiently like everyone else for season 2. Well, the teaser trailer was dropped, and I am here for it. We have some returning characters and some new players that make it look pretty interesting to watch. The problem is the release date is reported to be November 2024. I would have rather you kept this teaser to yourself. Bombastic side eye! Check out the trailer below
