Ludacris, Lil Rel Howery, Teyonah Parris to Star in Disney+ Holiday Comedy

Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Lil Rel Howery, and Teyonah Parris are set to star in the upcoming Disney holiday comedy Dashing Through the Snow, according to Deadline.

The film is set to be directed by Tim Story, who is perhaps best known for helming the 2002 comedy Barbershop, before also going on to direct the two Fantastic Four films in the 2000s.

Alongside Story, Will Packer and John Jacobs will join as producers on the project, with Deadline noting that production is already underway in Atlanta, with the film set to release sometime later this holiday season on the Disney+ streaming service.

Dashing Through the Snow will tell the story of a divorced social worker in the Atlanta police department, who does not like Christmas at all due to a childhood memory involving the holiday. However, while out on a call on Christmas Eve, he not only gets on the bad side of a local politician but “meets a man who helps him understand the joy and magic of Christmas.”

Chris “Ludacris” Bridges is best known for his career as a rapper but has been no stranger to the world of film. Recently, the actor has mostly starred in the Fast & Furious franchise, with the actor set to appear in Fast X and the second part of the film in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Comedian Lil Rel Howery is best known for his television series Rel, as well as his appearance in Jordan Peele’s 2017 film Get Out, while Teyonah Parris is currently set to star in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film The Marvels as Monica Rambeau.
