“This is 30 years I've been doing this, and nothing I've done has struck a chord like this,” Talbert said. The movie boasts stars such as Forest Whitaker and Keegan-Michael Key, and was made by a family (Talbert’s wife, Lyn Sisson-Talbert, produced the movie for Netflix) for families. The couple has also created a children's book inspired by Jingle Jangle, and Talbert is hoping to write a stage version for Broadway. With this film, Talbert looks to “join this canon of great holiday films where not only families of color but families around the world can add some soul up into their holiday.”
