About The Best Thing About Christmas
Struggling singer-songwriter, Dylan, thinks he’s finally made it when he and his band, Rivers Deep, sign a contract with a big-time Nashville Record Label and he moves his family to Music City. But, when his talented teenage daughter, Molly, is killed in an accident on Christmas Eve, Dylan’s world comes crashing down. Seeing her dad self-destructing and on the verge of losing everything, Molly, now an angel, intervenes in Dylan’s life, eventually, helping him create a Christmas miracle no one will ever forget.
Directed by Alan Peterson, The Best Thing About Christmas leans on a strong ensemble — Megan Alexander, Micah Lynn Hanson, Evelyn Grace Kite — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2023.
