Lamman Rucker is the most underrated actor in all of Hollywood. That brother is SO FINE. Those dimples and deep, dark eyes make me melt every time I watch this movie. This is my new go-to movie....
Yes he is!!😍
Literally sounds like me 🤣 I agree 100%
Chileeeeee you took the words out my mouth.
I know right I’m saving this to my Christmas playlist
Agreed 100% facts
Lamman Rucker is heavenly. I went to school with him and he is a genuine human being. Would love to see him as a Marvel action hero
WHERE DO YALL COME FROM
I would faint if I saw him as a Marvel hero!
@@Yae391 I would faint if I saw him!
@@belindalfrazier6628 Wiki says he was born in Pittsburgh, then High School in DC.
@@bighomiemac3472 YEAH THATS NICE TO KNOW BUT IF SOMEONE IS CLAIMING TO KNOW SOMEONE I WANT THEIR STORY
Finally a family Christmas movie with no awkwardness and unnecessary violence and tention.
I read "no unnecessary violence" as the uncle was waking up the kids to workout 😂
Right!!!!! Loved it
Yes Soo very important to see and hear black love
No over the top cringey romance either. I was pleasantly surprised!
And no gay people
In tears. I wish i could find a family like that to love and be loved by. To all out there, love each other and enjoy the family food!
I haven’t seen the full movie but by your comment I can tell that’s something I’d want too.
Merry Xmas family is everything. But I wish I had this too 🥺
Finally, another realistic, clean, wholesome, drama and sexual sin free movie about Black people displaying their love. This movie was so refreshing. Make many more beyond just season based. Thank you!!!
And on this note, I will take a chance and watch it all because of your comment. Because this is the kind of content I don't mind letting into my eye gates and ear gates. The rest of the stuff we are bombarded in our spirits with is trash and rotten garbage. So thank you! Lol! Muah!
Oh wow and the young lady in the black at the beginning with the natural hair is my friend's Sylvia "GBaby" Cohen's daughter, Giovonnie Samuels! As a teenager, she was part of the Nickelodeon cast of "All That!" Excited!
@@BrenPeters I was trying to figure out which show I wat had her on. Thanks
You were right! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Thanks for your review! It was what inspired me to watch.
Just for this comment I’m watching 😍
I have seen lots of Christmas movies, but this tops them all. It wasn't sugary. It was real. People were transformed and they all learned valuable lessons and came together. Beautiful.
GREAT MOVIE. NEED MORE LIKE THIS ONE.🥰
I wholeheartedly agree!
I was able to be the Catering Chef on this film as well as a background role in the farmers market scene. I love working with this film crew an cast so much. One of the directors Errol Sadler is a wonderful man. This movie turned out great
Congratulations
OMG...I'm at work and someone is cutting onions in this office!🤣 That was one of the best Christmas movies I've seen in a long time.
😂😂😂
Cute!
😅😅 I’m glad I’m not alone!!
Hahaha
GREAT MOVIE - no violence, no fowl language, no weird tension while watching with young children... simply perfect for the entire family. I will watch again on Christmas day! ❤
Me too 😂😂i like this movie ❤❤
Official Jane, you said it all. Finally a Real Black family movie that is positive without constant drama. I really enjoyed it also,
@@justsaying3729 we see
All the above mentioned I agree with such a good watch ❤
‼
I loved this movie. I am a Hallmark Channel junkie. It's good to see a Hallmark-style movie starring African-American actors. Thank you OWN!!
It’s my favorite time of year! I love “corny” Christmas movies. 🎄✝️🎅🏾🤶🏾🧑🏾🎄 This movie was great, from the acting to the food!
Only season for corny movies!
Your reply made me laugh thank you LOL
Lol. I thought I was the only one. I love corny Christmas movies too🎄⛄❄😊
Did you see the mug at Walmart with that quote??? So cute...
Mine too🎄🎄🎄🎄
This movie was so good I didn't want it to end! Happy Holidays everyone 😊
❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Happy holidays Nne ❤️🤎
I love this movie Happy
same :)
Donovan's handsome son has a singing voice that can light up any choir.
It's so nice to watch something without all of the foul language and it's shows some values ... we need more movies like this.🤩❤
This has got to be the most beautiful Christmas movie I've seen in a long time. I love that it is a romantic comedy as well as a family movie. Thank you OWN for bringing this to us. Made me cry--tears of joy.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SOO MUCH!...I wish they could make an ongoing TV SHOW Series from it!!!...It is SOO GOOD to see Good wholesome families, with transparency, real life issues, but LOTS OF LOVE!...I watch this over ,& over again 💕
That would be dope
This movie was so good. We all need someone to forgive us and we forgive others. Such a great movie of redemption. I was crying at the end.
💖
teared up myself! my spouse was wondering what I was watching haha
me too
Truth 👍🏿🙏🏿⚘
That's funny me too and I'm not a crier. I was also surprised at the end so that made it even better.
I am so grateful that this was placed on KZhead! We can't get Own Network in Taiwan. So this was a real treat! I love positive, thoughtful well made African-American movies! We need more of them.
I'm so grateful that this movie is on KZhead as well. Awesome you're able to view from Taiwan. 👋 from 🌴
Omg small world... I'm in Taiwan too! Nihao ma! 🇹🇼
Me too!!! Callmebutterfly Shelia
What is Taiwan 🇹🇼 like I would love to go oneday

I watch my son & this was the first time seeing this movie. We always watched the classic Christmas movies; "Christmas In Connecticut" with Barbra Stanywyck, Dennis Morgan, Sidney Greenstreet, etc., "It's A Wonderful life" Jimmy Stewart, Donna Read, etc., "Meet John Doe" Garry Cooper & Barbara Stanwyck, James Gleason, "The Bishop's Wife" Carry Grant, Lorretta Young, Devin Nevins, James Gleason Again, "Miracle On 34th Street", "It Happened On 5th Ave", "Come Fill The Cup" With James Gagney, Gig Young, Raymond Massey, Etc. Now This Great Movie "Cooking Up Christmas" is on our list for Christmas Movies & We are about to watch "Christmas For Marry". We thank you the whole cast for both movies, the directors, the producers, everyone involved & most importantly, we are grateful to OWN Oprah Winfrey for making all of this happen!!! FROM I AM MGMT/ENTERTIANMENT We Are GRATEFUL TO OWN, Oprah Winfrey First & all on board for making these great entertaining holiday movies as well as other pictures from OWN!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
This movie was so good ❤ definitely need a part 2
I agree! A part two would be really nice!
@@KinToNatTuner😮😮😮😮t😢ttstz😢she😮tstst😮rtt rs
Indeed a part two is needed. Great movie.
Yes
@@amaris8084 yes
This was one of the best movies of the season. I am so glad that I saw it on KZhead
Black Magic!!!! At it's finest. Great story. Family is EVERYTHING.
Color is irrelevant. If it's okay for blacks to speak this way, then all other races can, too. It's absolute bigotry and a double standard.
Why am I in tears right now!!! lol The best Christmas movie I have seen in years!!!
It is such a beautiful movie...it made me cry too!
I thought it was just me.. Guess I miss my mom who is deceased and it reminded me of what family is about this time of year. Be blessed Sister.
Wow I literally took a chance on this movie and I really love it! It made me laugh, tear up and get the warmsies all around my heart. Its just the right amount of mushiness without being over the top. I love these kinds of movies that show us in a positive light . My new favorite.
Me too I was like I hope it's good. And it gave everything it was supposed to give. Great movie.
@@amaris8084 yes it did. Im glad you took a channce too and found it worth it.
A beautiful representation of a beautiful black family. I haven't seen this kind of quality since the movie Soul Food. Thanks OWN.
I’m so glad to see a wholesome movie with lessons of forgiveness and the importance of family support! Love this movie! 💜
This movie was refreshing to see! ❤ Thank you.
Absolutely, merry Christmas
YES!!!
The importance of family you say again
@@MariaLopez-mm3ir +!11,
Feel-Good Christmas movies!!! Clean and wholesome for the whole family - keeps your mind off the garbage going on in the world. Love, Love, Love it!!!♥
IKR!!!!! :D
@younggrannie2 Absolutely. For many, the holidays can be sad and lonely for various reasons. This movie was beautifully acted, directed and written. Forgiveness, grief, love and unity are great takeaways all year long. Blessings, y'all. ❤🙏🏽✌🏽✝️
Although they didn't stick with the authentic Georgian accent, they sure made up for the "mother." She made my late mother-in-law look like an angel.
Love this. Need more cute, innocent CLEAN black films.
I second that emotion!
I agree with you 💯
Yesssss!!!
Color is irrelevant. If it's okay for blacks to speak this way, then all other races can, too. It's absolute bigotry and a double standard.
💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 KZhead and Social Media is trying to disenfranchise us to the point of hysteria. ✌🏼❤️🍷
Fantastic story of love, hope, forgiveness and redemption !
Black Christmas movies are great! This one is one of my go to black Christmas movies to watch! 👍🏿
Color is irrelevant. If it's okay for blacks to speak this way, then all other races can, too. It's absolute bigotry and a double standard.
I love Lamann Rucker. As soon as I saw his handsome face appear T knew I would like this film. He didn't let me me down. Heartwarming!!!
Love the positive representations of family, career choices and love. Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Thank you🇯🇲
I AGREE
I'm a producer. And to say the truth, this is a HIT!!! It's a shot on target. I've been watching with tears. Thinking of how we as parents have treated our families, especially our kids. It's a VERY GOOD MOVIE. CONGRATS AGAIN. Karubanda Tanzania-East Africa.
I really enjoyed this Movie! I found this by accident! What a wonderful treat this was ! It brought Tears and Joy all at the same time I Was Hoping That This Family Would Figure it Out That They Needed The Chef To Spice up their lives! Definitely a Christmas Collection In My House Thanks Ever So Much For Uploading This Movie
Guys where’s the tissue. I can hardly see I’m so teared up. This is a great movie. Thanks guys ❤
I almost cried twice
MORE families need to watch pictures like this especially parents and learn from them
Great job Own!!! Black American culture and cast. Keep this wholesome black representation coming!! !
Defiantly We need a part 2 ❤❤❤ so beautiful I love it .
I truly loved this movie. There were a lot of lessons to learn. Truly loved the scrip. Kudos to the Producers,Director,Writers,Actors & actress'es. Truly love me some lamman's!!🥰🥰🥰
Shout out to the writer and everybody who made this movie this was a great Christmas movie no over-acting it was a delight. 🌲🌲🌲🖤
Very true beautiful snd peaceful movie ❤
Indeed
Literally EVERYONE in the movie can act. I was like woah
It was a really touching movie it really did hit home. I'm 20 years old and my father wasn't present in most of my life. He recently called me to spend this xmas with him as his family. I think i will.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎅
Wow !! Thats great. Forgiveness is never for the other person. Once you release your feeling. YOU BECOME FREE..I pray you had a beautiful holiday. Life is too short. Blessing to you as you reconcile.

❤❤❤❤😀👏😍😭
My 1st Christmas movie of the season. It's a winner.
Loved this movie. Yes, to an extent, it was the regular formulaic romance but this was so much fresher with more complex characters. I do love that the characters were all striving, talented, loving and caring people that want to live decent lives. We need more role models like this instead of portraying people in the worst light and actually glamorizing such characters. I could even relate to the mother because I was a single working mother who raised my child on my own. Luckily for my child, I'm not as meddling but she came around and wanted the best for her family.
I enjoyed this movie. It was a great family movie and look forward to seeing more like this one in the future. Thanks Own and God Bless
The way Buck said: "Can't I just keep the score?; my thing is not sweating" cracked me up 😂😂😂. That's exactly the kind of remarks a cousin of mine makes.
I loved this movie….this is what the family wanted….the chef beauty and brains is the perfect fit for the children and their dad…..I can’t wait for part two 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🥰🥰🥰😘😘🥰😍😍😍🥰🥰😘😘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰it made my day…I love this season
Absolutely, merry Christmas
I can already see Cooking Up Christmas 2 with them as a family, her restaurant & a new baby
That's "A Must"💯
They definitely need to make a part two.
Can’t believe tears ran down my cheeks. This movie is simply love expressed in different ways. Love is beautiful with the right people 😍
I find myself watching this movie over and over.
I've watched this movie six times since it was made. Our movies are so authentic. I would love to see a part two.
Oh my goodness I absolutely LOVED this movie! This is a movie that tugs at your emotions and leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Standing ovation to the cast. Merry Christmas EVERYONE!
How many families go through trying times around the holidays? This movie is just what's needed to show our humanity towards one another and to forgive and move forward. Very good holiday movie!
This movie was sooo good! I was laughing one minute and crying the next! Kudos to the cast! The singing in this movie is amazing🌺❤️
you are so right
Absolutely, merry Christmas
me too...i loved it again...
I’m so glad I came across this movie, it made me cry & lol at the same time. This is what a lot of family need during the holidays
Same here! I was expecting the same ole same ole but it really wasn't. LOL
This was truly a wonderful ,feel good Christmas movie! It had me angry at the sons mother and his ex girlfriend as well as the oldest daughter then it had me laughing with joy and crying over the love in the end that rose to the top just like that lopsided cake the ex made lol.
Have watched most of Hallmark movies for Christmas but this the bestest of all. Couldn't get enough of it and have been watching over and over again 🤣 Thankyou OWN productions
Woooooweeee...I was blessed to have a momma who ruled in royalty without feeling her throne was threatened by the woman in her son's life.
They need to make a part 2 I love this movie 🍿
I'm crying tears of JOY! What a fantastic holiday family movie.
I LOVED THIS MOVIE. Part 2 with chef Chloe getting married. Too cute
Yep
Also I liked the way Clorox dressed not tight, short, low cut clothes. She was a great and caring character and she won out over the show-off actress. Good lessons and good acting!
Crying happy tears yes Christmas is not about gifts or money it's all about " FAMILY " loving each and everyone of them every minute of the day .nobody is perfect and we all have made mistakes in our life's but no matter what your still family love them always because you never know what tommorow can bring .
The best story... The way he bring the Mistletoe out if nowhere to get a kiss is the cutest... Like... Ohhh my gawd !!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ I am in love with this movie !!
I loved this movie. Such a cute and wholesome movie with many little lessons. Great ending too!!
What she said
It was OK my movie is very good to watch from Sharon mcmorris to
I am watching a fantastically beautiful story!

I love this movie! This will be an all time favorite Christmas movie for me.
I will watch this Movie again. The Cast really did a great job. Thanks OWN
OMG!!!! This was the best Christmas movie I have seen in years!!! Makes me want to start my own little Black successful family and have these moments every holiday!!! Is someone chopping onions??? Lol I'm not crying you are lol!!!
Lol 😂
No you are 💕
Very interesting and can't lie, I cried like a babe
Dayyyyum Donovan & his son are FIIIIINNNEEEE
This is quite possibly the BEST Christmas movie of the decade. Seriously!!! I laughed SO hard many times throughout the movie, I had to rewind to watch those funny parts over and over, and I cried several times throughout the movie too. It hit home on serious issues and made me cry from being happy. The acting was EXCELLENT!!! I would easily spend money to buy this after seeing it for free on KZhead. THANK YOU 😁🥰🎄
What a perfect family Christmas movie. It is so hard to find good ones so well written. This one speaks to the heart and hearts of the family.
This was so good. The only thing is I wish is that the daughter didnt tell her sister that she hated her. I hate when they have kids say that word. Other than that loved it. The mother (delores) is beautiful. So pretty.
It is past my bedtime as a senior. I just happened to surf the net and found this movie. What a beautiful, clean and loving movie. Merry Christmas to all.
When I tell you I love me some Lamman Rucker. The first time I noticed him was when he had a recurring role on Half n Half. I loved his acting and the fact that he was fine AF was just the icing on the cake!
I remember when he was on As The World Turns 😂
This is a GREAT movie! Not another corny play on Christmas with the same storyline. I love how genuine and heartfelt this movie is and I'm only halfway in. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This movie was literally magical!
This was a great movie…as an AA or BA. This was a nice representation of my culture that showed how some families actually live…I appreciate the perspective and narrative. It was a delightful movie, I really enjoyed it. I hope OWN produce more movies like this.
Such a heartwarming movie! Great cast and story
*Such a wonderful movie I have seen in a long time. Family over everything, didn't know I blushed and smiled my way all through till a colleague called my attention. Thank you, OWN.*
I'm ready for "Cooking up Christmas 2". This movie was great and just what I needed to watch. There can be more, start thinking of the new story line OWN, for 2 and 3. Lol. I love him as a dad, I love the kids, I love the chef and her energy. I just loved this movie. ❤ 👏🥰
A part 2 is definitely needed
Word!
Yes, it was a great movie! I've watched it multiple times. I have different scenarios for sequels that OWN could produce in mind. It was such a great ending. I would love to see that restaurant opening and the dynamics of the budding relationships familial and romantic.
YES...PART 2 PLEASE
I really loved this movie, just watched it with my second son. We hugged and laughed throughout . Family is EVERYTHING!!!
I watched it with my 16 year old son as well. We loved it. From the UK
I'm so into this movie. I just stumbled into it in my queue ☺️
This came in my feed out of nowhere. Couldn’t stop watching it was soooo good!
My heart was full with joy watching this movie. I wanted it to go on for another 1 hour
I just came across this movie and it was definitely a beautiful surprise!! I enjoyed the storyline and the wholesome realistic family moments ❤❤❤
Very realistic movie. Love it so much.
I really enjoyed this movie. So glad to see a good wholesome family movie. 👍🏾
Buck is a whole mood😂😂I really like his character. Thank you OWN for this clean movie with a simple story. The lesson about forgiveness and family will not be easily forgotten.
Wonderful family film for the holidays...full of hope and optimism for love, healing and restoration for hurting and broken families, and thankfully lacking profanity and unnecessary indecency. More! More! More!❣
This was a great movie. I loved it. Something the whole family can watch!!
Family is what this movie represents. Love, joy, laughter and forgiveness. 💯%.
The acting in this cute Christmas move was great. I loved to see two strong black fathers interact with their children. It will be one of my favorites. Thanks for not being too corny like a lot of Christmas movies are!
The example of going to any lengths, to respect the mother's feelings yet be there no matter what... That's inspiring! & Letting kids be themselves & respecting their talents. That whistle, though, lol. He needs to see the captain in The Sound of Music about that whistle! 😂 But yes, we need more characters like that. Great dads don't get represented nearly enough. That was the heart of this movie, to me, & an awesome one.
🥰Greaaaat movie!!!! This should be turbed into a Christmas mini series (with the same actors as the cast)!!!!🥰 Along with the friend/coworker in the beginning, as well.
I can watch this movie over and over again. I loved the ending, and had to hold back the tears. We need more wholesome movies, so the entire family can watch together.
Not what I was expecting ….Just so much more what a very wonderful story around this time of year!
This a great story. I cried, got mad and laughed. The characters where deeply developed. It was a little predictable. However, it will become a treasured favorite!!! Thanks 😊
You were right that was a great story! I even got a lil teary, and definitly was annoyed and laughed throughout the movie. Overall, it really is a nice Christmas Movie for sure😊
This movie is the best movie.😊
I agree 🥰
Predictable it was. I do miss seeing black characters in films in Europe, so I still watch and I guess we all can use someting a little sweet and sugaru at times
Agreed!!
I wish they would make a part 2 of this movie.
Me too
I agree
Thank God for the grandpa and youngest daughter for being outspoken in order to help their family adopt to the new changes in their life.,
This movie was sooo good. I'm teary eyed. Very talented cast. We need more movies and shows like this in the mainstream. Merry Christmas 🌲🎅🏿
This is my new favorite Christmas Movie. I love all of the elements. God is gracious. Amen❤🎄💋 ⚓🦋🎄🎀🎄
