So Fly Christmas: release date, trailer, cast and everything we know about the Christmas movie

As families huddle around their Thanksgiving turkeys and perhaps their laptops to do some Black Friday shopping, So Fly Christmas offers a nice movie option for those looking for something to watch on Thanksgiving beyond NFL Thanksgiving games or other sports.

The romantic comedy stars sitcom legend Tichina Arnold and reality TV fan-favorite Tami Roman as best friends who attempt to swear off dating and relationships. However, things take an unexpected turn when one of them actually falls in love, impacting their close friendship bond. An interesting plot mixed with a dynamic duo of stars may make for just the right movie to put you in the Christmas mood.

Here’s everything we know about So Fly Christmas.

So Fly Christmas release date

So Fly Christmas premieres on BET Plus on Thursday, November 23, Thanksgiving Day. The movie is a part of the BET Plus Christmas lineup in 2023, joining projects such as Christmas Angel. At this time, we don’t know if So Fly will make its way to the BET television network, so those hoping to watch it in the US will want to get a subscription to BET Plus. A subscription to the streaming service also gets you access to other content like Love & Murder: Atlanta Play Boy and The Ms. Pat Show season 3.

We don't currently have information about a UK release date for the movie. Should that change, we'll pass along an update.

Here is the official synopsis of the movie:

The script was penned by Clarence William IV.
