A Holiday in Harlem
Is it a holiday if you’re going home? Discuss.
Corporate exec returns home to Harlem (not a small town with a cutesy name for once!) and puts her organizational efficiency and effectiveness skills to use to execute the community’s Christmas events.
Props to Grandma “Mama Belle” for leading the Yuletide Yoga classes - yoga while dressed in festive wear. Here for it. 🧘♀️
Real estate porn in the form of a classic NYC brownstone in Harlem. Hell-o!
The love story is secondary to the “coming home to see the meaning of family and Christmas” storyline.
Not bad, just not particularly memorable or exciting overall.
Hap-Hap-Happiest Scene:
Yuletide yoga!
Wait! Why do I recognize that person?
Shoutout to Will Adams here because chances are you do NOT recognize him. This is only his 3rd credit on IMDB!
SCORE: 5/10

After her grandmother, Mama Belle, turns away her usual gift delivery, expecting “presence over presents,” jetsetting executive Jazmin heads uptown to Harlem for a quick visit. However, when Mama Belle is injured, Jazmin agrees to stay in the neighborhood and take over co-chairing their block’s annual Christmas Jamboree with her old best friend Caleb. A successful corporate fixer, Jazmin expects the job to be easy but quickly finds that she has a lot to learn about the community and her heart.
