From Family Matters to... family matters?

Darius McCrary and Kellie Shanygne Williams, who played siblings Eddie and Laura Winslow on the beloved '90s sitcom Family Matters, are reuniting for a new movie in which they once again play siblings.

The film, Christmas in Carolina, is a holiday rom-com that follows Elle (Atlanta's Joslyn Y. Hall), a career-driven investment banker who has given up on love (and Christmas) until she meets Wesley (David L. Rowell), a former NBA player and CEO of a small marketing firm. On a whim, Wesley invites Elle home for Christmas in South Carolina with his mom and uncle (Williams and McCrary). With some trepidation, Elle accepts and is given a much bigger gift than she could have imagined.

Shot on location in South Carolina, the film was directed by Peggy Williams working from a script by Stacie Davis. The Legacy Distribution holiday romance will release on demand and digital on Nov. 1.

Check out the trailer for the film above.

This article has been updated to reflect that Williams and McCrary play siblings, not spouses, as the official synopsis originally indicated.
