Seeing not only this Black family be happy, but also them living well. "It's so important that we show Black people being happy on screen," says Kelly Fyffe-Marshall, director of Lifetime's Merry Liddle Christmas. That same trend carries over to the extremely niche Christmas movie category, where it's just as important to see diverse stories being told in a space thats aim is to uplift with holiday cheer. While we are seeing improvements in Hollywood representation, in 2020, just 39.7% of lead roles went to Black actors and people of color. But while Netflix has plenty of options (a couple are on this list) and we don't tire of the classics, a majority of mainstream holiday films feature predominantly white casts. It's never too early-or too late-to put on your coziest Santa socks and matching family pajamas and settle down to a wonderfully corny Christmas movie.
