What's the Story?
A FAMILY REUNION CHRISTMAS, a special holiday edition of Family Reunion, stars the cast of the hit series as they celebrate the Yuletide holiday. While Cocoa (Tia Mowry) and Moz (Anthony Alabi) deal with their children's doubts about Santa, and ‘M'Dear (Loretta Devine), Maybelle (Telma Hopkins), and Aunt Dot (Jackée Harry) work out their differences, Grandpa (Richard Roundtree) teaches Jade and Mazzi (Talia Jackson and Cameron J. Wright) a lesson about what it's like to give, and to be without. It's not always easy, but they always remain a family.
Is It Any Good?
This positive, family-oriented special features the trademark humor that Family Reunion is known for. It uses the holiday season as the foundation for offering lessons about giving, gratitude, and above all, the importance of family. If you're a fan of the series, and have the Christmas spirit, you'll find A Family Reunion Christmas worth tuning into.
