2018 and the yea… two… several years prior have been ROUGH. And that’s a severe understatement. So I know myself, and many of my friends, are leaning heavily in the Christmas season this year. One way to do that is to sit with a blanket and a cup of cozy hot chocolate and watch cheesy Christmas movies. But usually these movies are alllll starring white people. I looked up several lists of this year’s Christmas romcoms and I saw more blondes than FOX News. (Some of them probably WATCH FOX News too…)
But thankfully, Lifetime, Netflix, and Hallmark (and, in a blessed update, TV One, BET Her, Freeform, and Bounce TV) have heard our cries and have finally provided some Christmas movies starring people of color. We celebrate Christmas and like seeing people fall in love too! There are a handful of titles on this list that look fun and cute and a great way to spend an afternoon, and hopefully more networks get on the bandwagon and every year we get more and more. (Also maybe some celebrating other holidays. Maybe I’ll write a Kwanzaa-themed romcom someday.) Until then, here’s what’s playing and where they’re airing. Leave a comment if I missed one!

Hello! My name is Shayla & you just favorites a tweet I had & I checked out your profile & it seems like we have a lot in common. I’m a huge TV watcher and have a ton to say. I have a blog of my own skh.xi34.com or skh.NBC.blogspot.com, you can insert any TV network in the BlogSpot address, I wanted to separate my blogs in a different fashion than wordpress or other hosting sites offered so I just started my own webpage. I blog about all TV but I like to latch onto a show or write an article about intelligent aspects of shows that can be related to actual life. I’m big on making predictions as so many viewers don’t pay attention to the foreshadowing. I followed you on twitter and would love a follow back, I think we might have a lot to talk about! 😀
