VH1 wanted to break the mold with "raunchy as hell" Christmas movies

Los Angeles Times

The cable network enlisted Eva Longoria, Jamie Foxx, Nick Cannon and Kim Fields for its “Naughty or Nice” holiday film slate, featuring raunchy dialogue, rowdy characters and outrageous shenanigans. “We wanted to break the mold in a loud way,” said Nina L. Diaz, president of content for MTV Entertainment Group, which is producing the films. “Christmas movies usually offer comfort food, which is great. But Christmas films that are disruptive, edgy and more diverse are long overdue. We wanted to have a modern, naughty-or-nice take on the classic genre. We also wanted to open doors to fresh voices and have a more inclusive slate of movies that you haven’t seen before.”
