A Sisterly Christmas

Long-estranged sisters reunite reluctantly at a Christmas resort vacation. Starring Deborah Joy Winans, and Lisa Michelle Cornelius.

In the heartwarming holiday film “A Sisterly Christmas,” the spirit of the season brings both tension and joy, as two estranged sisters are brought together by an unexpected inheritance that offers them a chance at reconciliation and a touch of yuletide magic. Directed by Jerry LaMothe and written by Angela Burt-Murray and Maryam Myika Day, this Christmas tale unfolds with the story of Kristina and Vicky Marshall, played by Deborah Joy Winans and Lisa Michelle Cornelius, whose sibling rivalry has reached new heights following the death of their mother.

The sisters, locked in their bickering ways, find their world turned upside down when their Aunt Debbie, portrayed by Marium Carvell, decides it’s time for a drastic intervention. In a bid to rekindle their sisterly bond, she gifts them a luxurious holiday vacation to an idyllic Christmas resort, renowned for its cozy charm and festive allure.

However, the sisters’ journey to reconciliation is quickly complicated by the arrival of Reginé, their polished and pretentious childhood rival. Kyana Teresa brings to life this snobbish socialite with a penchant for stirring trouble, as she taunts and tempts the sisters into a competitive frenzy. The rivalry reignites with a twist when the trio finds themselves in the midst of the resort’s annual charity Christmas contest, an event orchestrated by the handsome and charismatic Keith Fisher, played by Kendrick Cross.

Amidst the twinkling lights and snow-dusted pines, Kristina and Vicky grapple with their complicated feelings towards each other, the haunting pain of their past, and the pressures of living up to the expectations set by their rivalry with Reginé. With their sisterhood on the line, the sisters must navigate through misunderstandings, heartache, and the often comedic trials of family dynamics.

“A Sisterly Christmas” is as much about the strength of family ties as it is about the individual journeys of Kristina and Vicky as women coming into their own. The story is imbued with moments of laughter, courtesy of characters like Goose, played by Miguel Anthony, and Sexy Santa, a playful addition by Troy Crossfield, adding layers of humor to the sisters’ tale.

The film features an ensemble cast that delivers performances as vibrant as the festive decorations adorning the resort. Neil Whitely’s portrayal of Colton Fisher, along with supporting roles by Kerrin Cochrane, Sean Jones, Lisa Kovack, Kelly Reich, and Alicia Richardson, contributes to the rich tapestry of this Christmas narrative.

As the contest heats up and sparks of unexpected romance flicker, the sisters are pushed to their limits. They must decide what truly matters: their pride, their rivalry, or the family bond that has withstood the test of time. “A Sisterly Christmas” encapsulates the essence of the holiday spirit, showcasing the healing power of Christmas and the enduring love of family that can overcome even the frostiest of feuds.
