Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has partnered with MTN Nigeria to unveil seven new Christmas movies as part of an initiative aimed at celebrating Nigerian storytelling and bringing festive entertainment to audiences during the 2026 yuletide season.
The project, tagged Seven Christmas Mixer, was officially unveiled at the MTN Rooftop Event Centre in Falomo, Lagos, bringing together actors, filmmakers, content creators and other stakeholders in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Under the partnership, the seven movies will be released through Omoni Oboli’s digital entertainment platform, Omoni Oboli TV. The first title is scheduled to premiere on November 13, 2026, with the remaining films expected to roll out throughout the festive season.
The collection will explore themes associated with Christmas, including love, family relationships, forgiveness, friendship and togetherness, offering viewers a range of locally produced stories to enjoy during the holidays.
Omoni Oboli, known for her work as an actress, producer and filmmaker, expressed excitement about the collaboration, which seeks to make the festive season more entertaining while creating opportunities to showcase Nigerian creativity.
The partnership also highlights the growing relationship between Nigeria’s entertainment industry and corporate organisations, particularly telecommunications companies seeking to connect with audiences through digital content.
MTN Nigeria’s involvement comes as digital platforms continue to reshape how audiences access and consume entertainment. The collaboration provides an opportunity to expand the reach of Nollywood productions beyond traditional cinema releases and television broadcasts.
Nollywood remains one of Nigeria’s most influential creative industries, supporting thousands of professionals across acting, directing, screenwriting, production, editing and other areas of filmmaking.
With seven movies scheduled for release during the Christmas period, the Seven Christmas Mixer is expected to add to the growing catalogue of locally produced festive entertainment while further promoting Nigerian stories.
The initiative also reflects the increasing role of partnerships between filmmakers and corporate brands in supporting content production and expanding the distribution of Nigerian entertainment.
