Get ready to cozy up! Amazon MGM Studios has just released the official trailer for Tyler Perry’s new holiday film, ‘Finding Joy,’ and it looks like the perfect blend of heartwarming, romantic, and festive. This marks Perry’s first holiday movie in twelve years, promising his signature storytelling with a delightful wintry love story.
A New Holiday Romance Arrives
Premiering globally on Prime Video on November 5, 2025, ‘Finding Joy’ features a standout performance from Shannon Thornton, known for her role in ‘P-Valley.’ This is her first leading role in a holiday romance, and she brings an incredible mix of warmth, humor, and vulnerability to the character of Joy.
Joy is a talented New York fashion designer who often feels overlooked at work and unlucky in love. When her crush, Colton (played by Aaron O’Connell), heads to Colorado, she decides to follow him, hoping for a romantic connection. But, as often happens in Tyler Perry’s stories, a surprising twist and a sudden snowstorm leave her stranded!
More Than Just a Love Story
Just when Joy feels hopeless, she meets Ridge (Tosin Morohunfola), a stranger whose presence unexpectedly changes everything. But ‘Finding Joy’ is more than just a tale of finding romance; it’s about resilience, rediscovering oneself, and embracing the unexpected gifts that life offers when things don’t go according to plan.
With themes of friendship, self-worth, and second chances woven throughout, this film seems like the perfect emotional escape we all need during the busy holiday season. Tyler Perry himself wrote, directed, and produced the movie, alongside producers Angi Bones and Will Areu.
