Our IndieFlix Pick this month is Jingle Blues Jingle Bells. This British film by Sylvester Williams is comedy about a a black family with one white child and their count down to Christmas, from 12 days before. The pressure gets worse when dad loses his job, but nothing prepares him and other members of the family from discovering a secret that could tear a happy family apart. This film is universally appealing and all families will relate to this family film. Here’s the trailer:

IndieFlix is available on all internet-enabled computers, tablets including iPad and Android, and smartphones through a web browser. Many films are also available on Roku and Xbox. These films are not rated by the MPAA, so viewer discretion is advised. Try IndieFlix and let us know what you think!
