We may be at the very start of the spooky season, but Netflix is already looking ahead to the holidays with the debut of theJingle Jangle: A Christmas Journeyofficial trailer. A feast for the eyes and a shot of warmth for the soul, theJingle Jangletrailer teases a fun, bright, adventure-filled Christmas tale starring newcomerMadalen Mills,Forest Whitaker,Phylicia Rashad,Keegan-Michael Key, andAnika Noni Rose.

Talbert(First Sunday,Almost Christmas),Jingle Jangletells the story of a young girl (Mills) who eagerly helps her grandfather Jeronicus Jangle (Whitaker), a whimsical and inventive toymaker, take back a prized invention stolen by Jeronicus' former apprentice (Key) that could change the Jangle family fortunes for good. The trailer promises a Christmas movie which is as inventive as Jeronicus himself, full of whimsy, wonder, and irrepressible charm that many of us will be in dire need of by the timeJingle Janglehits Netflix.
