Boxing Day is a 2021 British romantic-comedy Christmas film written by and starring Aml Ameen in his directorial debut. The film also stars Aja Naomi King and Leigh-Anne Pinnock - the latter making her acting debut - and is notably the first British Christmas romcom with an almost entirely Black cast.
Situated primarily in London, the film follows Melvin Mckenzie (Aml Ameen) as he returns home to London after two years to launch his new book and introduce his fiancée to his family. Ameen created Boxing Day to represent his own experiences growing up in England with his own Caribbean-British family, drawing on commonly seen tropes from other famous Christmas movies, such as Love Actually.
