Dashing Through the Snow will be directed by Tim Story and will be a holiday-themed comedy. The story follows “a divorced social worker for the Atlanta police department who despises Christmas due to a painful childhood memory. When sent on a call while spending Christmas Eve with his daughter, he inadvertently evokes the wrath of a local politician but meets a man who helps him understand the joy and magic of Christmas” (Deadline).
