‘Dashing Through the Snow’ Cast and Character Guide: Who Joins Ludacris in the Christmas Film?

Some might say they don’t want a lot for Christmas, but who’s going to turn down a Christmas movie starring rapper-actor Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and comedian Lil Rel Howery?

Directed by Tim Story, and produced by Will Packer’s Will Packer Productions, comes the comedic fantasy film “Dashing Through the Snow,” which carries the title of the classic Christmas jingle “Dashing Through the Snow (Jingle Bells).”

In the lighthearted tale, Bridges stars as Eddie Garrick, a social worker who no longer believes in the magic of Christmas due to a traumatic childhood experience. But, with the help of his Christmas-loving daughter Charlotte (Madison Skye Validum) and good ol’ Saint Nick — who just goes by Nick (Lil Rel Howery) — the group is on a mission to restore Eddie’s faith in Christmas while evading wicked politician Conrad Harf (Oscar Nuñez).

The film lands exclusively on Disney+, and here’s everything you need to know about how to watch it.

Chris “Ludacris” Bridges as Eddie Garrick @ludacris

Chris “Ludacris” Bridges plays Eddie Garrick, a good-hearted social worker who no longer believes in Christmas due to a traumatic childhood experience. Because of his lack of faith, he ends up spending too much time working during the holidays, which has bridged a gap between the quality time he spends with his family. He’s the father of his Christmas-loving daughter Charlotte (Madison Skye Validum) and the husband of his estranged wife Allison Garrick (Teyonah Parris).

While best known for being a Grammy-winning hip-hop star, with hits like “Act a Fool,” “Rollout” and “Get Back,” Bridges has also had major acting roles in TV shows and films including “Crash,” “2 Fast 2 Furious,” “Doc McStuffins” and “Max Payne.”
