Meet Me Next Christmas is a heartwarming festive treat on Netflix, starring Christina Milian as Layla, a woman on a mission to find the man of her dreams. 

Along with other holiday movies on Netflix like Our Little Secret, The Merry Gentlemen, and Hot Frosty, Meet Me Next Christmas is a new movie for 2024 and promises to be a 'treasure hunt for love' as Layla dashes through the Big Apple accompanied by an unexpected ally, professional concierge Teddy (Devale Ellis). 

“There’s a sense of magic, love, and anticipation that’s happening through the whole movie,” Christina Milian tells Tudum. “You just never know who they’re going to run into or what’s going to happen next.”  

Whatever Yuletide surprises lay ahead, expect Layla to do whatever it takes to make her dreams come true. Milian calls her a 'motivated woman.' 

“Layla is a girl that knows what she wants,” the actor says. “She’s got a good head on her shoulders, and when she knows she wants something, she goes for it. She doesn’t let anything stop her.”

Talking of Pentatonix being in the movie, Christina says. “They’re so talented. I love what they infuse in the movie.

Making a whole movie built around their amazing talent and putting love and Christmas all around it is a great cherry on top.”
