The holiday season isn’t here just yet, but more than a few Christmas movies that are great for the whole family are premiering already. A title that Disney+ subscribers can take in this year is Dashing Through the Snow, a fantastical film starring Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Lil Rel Howery. The project has been in development for years now and, in 2016, it was reported that Kevin Hart would star in it as Santa Claus. Ultimately, the comedian dropped out, and the role of the jolly old soul went to Howery. Now, one of the producers has explained to CinemaBlend just why Hart passed on the production.
