HBO Max has another festive flick, titled Holiday Harmony, coming out this Thursday and this one is topped with music. The film, helmed by Shaun Paul Piccinino, is expected to air on November 24, 2022, at 3 am ET/midnight PT.
With a promising cast led by Annelise Cepero and Jeremy Sumpter, the official synopsis for Holiday Harmony, reads as:
"Singer/songwriter Gail (Annelise Cepero) lands an opportunity to compete for a once-in-a-lifetime shot at the big time, and heads cross country—only getting as far as Harmony Springs, Oklahoma when her ride, her budget and all her hopes are stalled."
It continues:
"With just two weeks to get to the iHeartRadio Christmas Eve performance of her dreams, she takes the advice of local Jack-of-all-trades, Jeremy, and takes on a group of misfit kids hoping to perform in a Christmas Eve Gala of their own. Gail and Jeremy grow close, but if she’s going to fulfill her lifelong dream, she may have to leave him and the town she’s grown to love behind."
