‘Turkey Drop’: Release date, plot, cast, trailer and all you need to know about the upcoming holiday movie on Freeform

The holiday movie about a high-school breakup will be the network’s first Thanksgiving feature production and mark the start of the holiday season.
PUBLISHED NOV 12, 2019

For high school sweethearts, the most dreaded thing is having that ‘we-need-to-talk’ moment with their boyfriend/girlfriend, when they head to college. Such breakup conversations coincidentally happen during Thanksgiving break (it’s the first major holiday after the semester) and hence often called the ‘Turkey Drop’, when you drop the big news to your sweetheart about how the long-distance relationship is not working. Freeform’s upcoming holiday movie, ‘Turkey Drop’ is all about a freshman student’s attempt to evade the big ‘drop’.

Release Date

‘Turkey Drop’ will premiere on Freeform on November 23, 9pm/8c.

Plot

Lucy Jacobs is a university freshman student who visits her small-town family home for Thanksgiving break. As she is about to start her holiday mood, she suspects that her high school sweetheart is about to drop the turkey on her. In other words, Lucy is afraid that she might get dumped. To avoid the disaster, Lucy would do anything, even if it means getting out of her ‘comfort zone’ and becoming the ‘go-getter’ girl from being a ‘play-safe’ girl. But can changing herself change what’s in store for her?

Cast

‘Turkey Drop’ features Olivia Holt, David Hewlett, Karen Cliché, Cheryl Hines, among many others in the lead roles.
