Christina Milian, Devale Ellis, and Pentatonix on the Magic of Meet Me Next Christmas

Kyle Meredith sits down with the stars and music-makers behind Netflix’s new holiday hit, Meet Me Next Christmas. Christina Milian, Devale Ellis, and the vocal phenoms of Pentatonix dish on the film, which merges romance, holiday spirit, and of course, unforgettable music. From flirty airport lounges to magical concerts, the movie puts an imaginative spin on seasonal clichés, and audiences around the globe have taken notice — it’s already topping charts in 43 countries. Listen to the chat now.

For Milian, the project felt like a homecoming. Her character Leila’s pursuit of a fairy-tale romance — and a ticket to Pentatonix’s sold-out Christmas Eve concert (get tickets to their very real Christmas tour here!) — blends charm with just the right amount of chaos.

Devale Ellis, who plays the film’s lovable underdog, Teddy, relished his chance to flip the script. But even with all the rom-com beats, the stars say the movie’s deeper message is about fate and faith, delivered with humor and heart.

At the film’s musical core are Pentatonix, who light up the screen with their harmonies and holiday cheer. Kevin Olusola and Matt Sallee shared how the group’s real-life quirks made their way into the script. The group also penned the movie’s title track, “Meet Me Next Christmas,” a swoon-worthy addition to their growing holiday catalog. “It’s got that nostalgic Christmas movie vibe, but with a modern twist,” says Olusola.
