The movie kicks off with what I believe is an original song for this BET+ Christmas film. We open with a dream sequence of Nancy being crowned the Queen of Christmas. Both Doris and Julia wake up suddenly—apparently from having the same dream?

Doris, Julia, and Nancy are neighbors who compete in the local Christmas decorating competition, but Doris and Julia cannot stand Nancy. It’s not just that she always wins—it’s also that she only tips $1 on a $300 hair job Doris does for her, and then walks into Julia’s bakery to announce she won’t be eating any of the baked goods.

Then comes bad news: the church’s annual Christmas play is canceled. Bishop Tony is just too tired to organize it this year.

But their acting skills won’t go to waste—because director Patrick Saint Thomas is coming to town to cast his upcoming movie, and he’s hoping to find some untapped talent within the church community. If you get a golden ticket in your mailbox, that means you’ve been invited to audition.

Doris, Julia, and Nancy all receive invites. Patrick’s assistant lets them know that Mr. Saint Thomas won’t just be judging based on acting ability—he’s also looking for genuine Christmas spirit.

And so, the battle begins. The women all start competing fiercely, which apparently is exactly what Patrick Saint Thomas wants to see.

Eventually, Doris and Julia realize they’re tearing their families apart. Their husbands are furious.

Patrick Saint Thomas calls all three women in—Nancy included—and it turns out he’s just some white guy who gets a weird thrill from watching Black women argue? It’s... not great. Doris and Julia walk away from the project. Nancy has the final decision, and she turns it down too.

In the end, the three women reconcile and become friends. They celebrate Christmas together—and we love that.
