Written by Clarence Williams IV and directed by Terri Vaughn (Soul Santa, Unthinkably Good Things), the movie is currently set to debut on BET+ on November 23.

Synopsis reads: After being stood up at the altar on Christmas Eve, Wyvetta (Tichina Arnold) loses her love on her favorite holiday. To show solidarity, Wyvetta’s best friend, Dione (Tami Roman), suggests that the two of them renounce love. Things become complicated when Dione falls for a mild-mannered record store owner (Robert Christopher Riley) and tries to keep it under wraps.

The ensemble cast includes Gary Budoff (professor), with Tommy Davidson (Pastor), Jackee Harry, and Michael Colyar playing Wyvetta’s parents. 

The film is produced by Worldwide Entertainment and Media in association with Choice Films for BET+. Producers are Pierre Romain, Julie Solinger, and Marc Johnson, with Jo co-producing. Executive producers are Summer Crockett Moore, Tony Glazer, Maureen Guthman, Devin Griffin, and Jerry Leo for BET+. 

“Writing this film has been a dream come true. I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity provided to me by Worldwide Entertainment and Media and BET to contribute to a legacy of storytelling within a network that has long celebrated the richness of Black culture,” said writer Clarence Williams IV.
