Holiday Magic Meets Family Chaos: Inside the Unexpected Christmas World Premiere
Los Angeles sparkled with holiday magic as 3 Diamonds Films hosted the star-studded premiere of their highly anticipated film, Unexpected Christmas, at the iconic Harmony Gold Theater. The event brought out a dynamic mix of actors, recording artists, and entertainment industry powerhouses — all ready to celebrate a story that blends laughter, love, and a touch of holiday drama.
The red carpet shimmered with familiar faces, including Lil Rel Howery, Tabitha Brown, Reagan Gomez-Preston, Anna Maria Horsford, Ricco Ross, Dominique Perry, and GRAMMY-nominated singer Koryn Hawthorne. The evening featured a vibrant pre-screening celebration followed by an intimate Q&A session moderated by media personality Gia Peppers, who guided the cast and producers through heartfelt reflections on the film’s creation and its deeper message about family, forgiveness, and joy.
The film itself captures the chaos and comedy of family gatherings during the holidays.

Between unexpected guests, sibling rivalries, and plenty of holiday surprises, Unexpected Christmas promises laughter, warmth, and a few emotional twists that remind viewers what the season is really about.
With an ensemble cast that perfectly captures the highs and lows of family reunions, Unexpected Christmas is poised to become a new holiday favorite. The film premieres in theaters nationwide on November 7th, while the official soundtrack drops October 24th on all digital platforms.
