An honest mistake turned into a new holiday tradition – and that tradition is turning into a new Netflix movie.
In 2016, an Arizona grandmother named Wanda Dench tried to text her grandson about the family's Thanksgiving dinner plans – only she mistakenly added a stranger to the text message. Jamal Hinton, a high school senior, was on the receiving end of the holiday text and jokingly took Dench up on her offer. Now, the wholesome holiday story is being turned into a feature film for Netflix.
Hinton always keeps his followers posted on his and Dench's relationship, and this week he shared a big update. "I am very excited to announce our new partnership with Netflix," he wrote on Instagram. "We thank every single one of you for your love and support in our journey the last 6 years. We can't wait to tell our story on the big screen!"
