Written and directed by David E Talbert, Jingle Jangle begins as a new Christmas story told by a grandmother Phylicia Rashad from a huge book. It is about a toymaker named Jeronicus Jangle played by Justin Cornwell as a young man and Forest Whitaker as the older man.

Diaana Babnicova is not the only Ghanaian who features in Netflix's Jingle Jangle. The film features the song of Ghanaian highlife singer Bisa Kdei and the dancing prowess of another young Ghanaian actress named Princess K.

Bisa Kdei joined forces with American singers, John Legend and Usher, to work on the colossal Hollywood Christmas project.

The highlife entertainer took to his social media platforms to announce his accomplishment and celebrate his latest exploit.
