💔❄️Tyler Perry’s Finding Joy (2025): Cast, Plot, Release Date & Where to Watch – A Snowstorm, a Revelation, and a Love That Heals the Heart

“Sometimes you have to lose your way… to finally find your joy.”

The holidays get emotional this year with Tyler Perry’s Finding Joy — a heartfelt romantic drama about love, second chances, and self-discovery. Starring Shannon Thornton, Tosin Morohunfola, and Brittany S. Hall, this deeply moving film is set to melt hearts when it releases worldwide on November 5, 2025.

🎬 A Story of Love, Loss, and Life’s Unexpected Turns

Set against the snow-covered mountains of Colorado, Finding Joy follows Joy (Shannon Thornton), a gifted but underappreciated fashion designer from New York City. Her career is stuck under the shadow of her demanding boss, and her love life seems just as bleak. Hoping for a spark of happiness, Joy decides to follow her crush Colton (Aaron O’Connell), on a holiday trip — but fate has other plans.

After a devastating revelation and a snowstorm that leaves her stranded, Joy finds herself alone in an unfamiliar town. Just when everything seems lost, she crosses paths with Ridge (Tosin Morohunfola) — a charming local whose quiet strength and compassion slowly thaw her frozen heart.

“You can’t control the storm,” Ridge tells her. “But you can choose what you do after it passes.”

And just like that, Joy begins to rediscover her passion, her confidence, and the kind of love that doesn’t fade when the snow melts.
