It’s been fifteen years since that unforgettable Christmas, and the Whitfields have gone their separate ways. But when Shirley Whitfield (Loretta Devine) falls ill, her children return home for the holidays — only to find that time has changed everything… and nothing at all.
Lisa (Regina King) is now a powerful businesswoman who’s forgotten how to slow down. Quentin (Idris Elba) has built a quiet life abroad, but one family secret threatens to bring his walls crashing down. Kelli (Sharon Leal) returns with her teenage daughter, determined to protect her from the same mistakes she made. Meanwhile, Michael (Chris Brown) — now a music producer — struggles to reconnect with the family that inspired his greatest song.
As snow covers the streets of Los Angeles, laughter, chaos, and long-buried truths fill the Whitfield home once again. With new music, rekindled love, and a reminder that family is forever, THIS CHRISTMAS 2 (2026) is a soulful and emotional return to the holiday classic.
