ComedyFamily

When their only daughter Blair leaves the family nest, Luther and Nora Krank decide to book an island cruise to beat the yuletide blues and just skip the holidays. But their decision to boycott tradition has the whole neighborhood in an uproar, and when Blair calls on Christmas Eve to announce a surprise visit with her new fiancée, the Kranks have just twelve hours to perform a miracle and pull themselves and their neighbors together to throw the best celebration ever!

VIBE

This film feels like a mad dash through a snow-dusted suburban street, brimming with slapstick holiday hijinks and a surprisingly sweet core. It's a chaotic, feel-good ride that captures the joyous, often overwhelming, spirit of Christmas with a big, warm hug of community and family at its heart.
