Detty December!

This was exactly what I was looking for in a feel good holiday film! The cast felt like a natural fit and the performances are genuine and entertaining. There's something for every viewer to enjoy, so glad this was released to stream worldwide; if you like modern African cinema I don't think you'll be disappointed.Highlights for me were the cast of characters, each performer is charismatic with moments to shine; the very accessible storylines of family, friends and romantic relationships depicted that may be complex but flow well together in the story and feel just like our own lived experiences. Plenty of humor & heart plus I was surprised how many quotable lines and moments that made me laugh out loud (s/o to Zach, Ajani and the French caterer) I was totally enveloped in the production design, the entire film is amazingly colorful and stylish, incl the settings and especially the wardrobes/costumes.The last thing I haven't seen mentioned as much yet is the music! Starting from the first scene the songs playing really elevate the vibe and are perfect complements to the story and make the whole film easy to enjoy. There are also several popular Naija artists that cameo and perform throughout. If you like any popular culture coming out of African right now I can recommend Christmas in Lagos - may be a classic for years to come!

Lovely cast and acting

Beautiful film but the storyline should've aimed to be more realistic. Again this was about IJGB's and their richer families. The acting was super good in my opinion though and I loved the cast! The costumes were crazy good too but not much was put into connecting with the audience or making us care about the characters unfortunately. The side characters actually made it much much better than the main love triangle, which I hated. Very cliche "I love my best friend" trope. Should've done without it. A delightful film to watch with a friend but don't think too deeply about it. Just vibe with it.

Perfect for a couple Christmas movie night

Christmas in Lagos is a vibrant, heartwarming celebration of Nigerian culture that's perfect for the holiday season. The film beautifully captures the lively energy of Lagos during Christmas-colorful streets, festive markets, and the joyous chaos of family reunions. The story follows a Nigerian living abroad who returns home for the holidays, making it incredibly relatable for anyone in the diaspora. It's a perfect mix of humor and heartfelt moments, with lovable characters and authentic cultural touches. If you're looking for a festive movie filled with joy, tradition, and love, this is a must-watch!
