Holiday Heart is a 2000 television film directed by Robert Townsend and starring Ving Rhames, Alfre Woodard, Jesika Reynolds, and Mykelti Williamson.

It was based on a play by Cheryl L. West, and involves a gay drag queen befriending a single mother and her daughter and trying to protect them from the criminal environment around them.

Holiday Heart (Ving Rhames) is a gay African American man who performs as a drag queen at a popular nightclub in Chicago.

After his boyfriend dies, he befriends a down-on-her-luck, drug-addicted, single woman, Wanda (Alfre Woodard) and her young daughter Niki (Jesika Reynolds).

After Silas brings Niki along on one of his illicit sales, she runs away and bumps into her mother, who is in a flophouse turning tricks.

The film then shifts to a few months later, where Niki is home from "spring break" and visiting her mother's grave with Holiday and Silas.
