What is Dashing Through the Snow about?
Dashing Through the Snow is a touching comedy about an Atlanta social worker who takes an unexpected Christmas Eve journey with his estranged daughter to help him remember the joy and magic of the holidays.
Eddie Garrick (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges) is a good-hearted man who has turned his back on Christmas due to a traumatic childhood experience. At the request of his wife Allison Garrick (Teyonah Parris), from whom he is separated, Eddie takes their 9-year-old daughter, Charlotte (Madison Skye Validum), to work with him on Christmas Eve, where they meet a mysterious man in a red suit named Nick (Lil Rel Howery).
