Originally released in 2020 on Netflix, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is a movie that tells the story of toymaker and inventor Jeronicus Jangle (Forest Whitaker) who, one day, receives a life-changing item for his newest toy: a serum that will bring it to life. Before he can properly bask in this success, Jeronicus's book of inventions is stolen by his assistant Gustafson (Keegan-Michael Key). Not long afterward, Jeronicus' wife suddenly dies.
Despondent, broken-spirited, and unable to invent like he used to, Jeronicus pushes away his daughter Jessica (Diaana Babnicova as young Jessica, Anika Noni Rose as adult Jessica), who eventually grows up and leaves to live her own life. Thirty years pass, and Jeronicus is now a pawnbroker and a shadow of his former self. His shop, "Jangles and Things," is in danger of being seized by the bank unless he can deliver a revolutionary invention. When Jeronicus' granddaughter, Journey (Madalen Mills), appears in his life, she becomes the key to Jeronicus recovering all that he has lost.
