Starring Austin Abrams and Midori Francis, the series follows teenagers Dash and Lily who share dares through a journal passed through various locations across New York during Christmas time.

Dash, a self-proclaimed loner who enjoys critiquing bookstore employees on their incorrect shelvings, stumbles upon a red journal stuck in between a stack of books. Inside the journal is a variety of dares, leading him on a shared journey to find Christmas spirit on a holiday that he despises.

Lily, who plants the journal, is alone for the first time ever during the holiday season. In order to get her spirits up, she seeks company in a stranger she’s writing to.

Since the series’ initial release, it has successfully claimed a spot on Netflix’s top 10 trending list. With many seeking an escape from the ongoing pandemic, Dash & Lily is the perfect seven-episode series to pull you away for a while.
