Lil Rel Howery And Ludacris Are Holiday Ready In ‘Dashing Through The Snow’

The original family holiday comedy Dashing Through the Snow has an official release date.

Starring Lil Rel Howery, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, and Teyonah Parris, the film is set to debut on Disney+ on Nov. 17. As described in a press statement, the feature is about a social worker for the Atlanta police department and the Christmas Eve journey with his estranged daughter that helps him to remember the joy and magic of the yuletide season. Ludacris takes on the role of the lead character, Eddie Garrick who is explained as a good-hearted man who has turned his back on Christmas due to a traumatic childhood experience. After a request from his estranged wife, portrayed by Parris, he takes his daughter (Madison Skye Validum) to work where they encounter the mysterious Nick (Howery).

The film is directed by Tim Story and written by Scott Rosenberg and is produced by John Jacobs and Will Packer, with Tim Story, Johanna Byer, Ross Fanger, and Zac Unterman, serving as executive producers. The film also stars Mary Lynn Rajskub, Ravi V. Patel, Gina Brillon, Kevin Connolly, and Zulay Henao.

“They gave each other the space and the support to give some really great performances,” detailed Story to Entertainment Weekly of the two leading men. “There’s a percentage of [the film] that’s whimsical… and then there’s a percentage of it that’s very accessible and down-to-earth and grounded. And I think they found such a great combination of that… the way they kind of juxtaposed one another on screen. I got very lucky that they both were willing and able to do it.”
