‘Meet Me Next Christmas’ Stars Christina Milian and Devale Ellis on Crafting the Perfect Kiss


"Meet Me Next Christmas" stars Christina Milian and Devale Ellis discuss the pressure to get their kiss just right in the Netflix holiday rom-com.

Acknowledging that the logistics of the shot required for an intense make-out, Ellis adds, “[Director Rusty Cundieff] let us know, like, ‘It’s gonna be long, because we gotta go around you guys three times as the world melts around you.’ And then Christina had, like, garlic knots that day.” In the film, Ellis’ concierge Teddy helps Layla (Milian) on her journey to land tickets to Pentatonix’s sold-out Christmas show. Layla hopes to reunite with her dream guy James (Kofi Siriboe) at the show, but instead finds herself falling for Teddy as they bound through the city on the hunt for tickets.
