In the movie, Eddie Murphy plays Chris, a driven individual who enters the annual Christmas home decorating competition in his neighborhood. To increase his chances of winning, Chris unwittingly makes a deal with the cunning elf Pepper, played by Jillian Bell. When Pepper does this, she casts a spell that brings the 12 Days of Christmas to life and causes havoc in the town. Chris, his wife Carol (Tracee Ellis Ross), and his three children must work quickly to break Pepper's spell, deal with crafty magical creatures, and preserve Christmas for everyone if they want to keep their family's holiday from being spoiled.
After being first revealed in July 2022, the project has advanced significantly, putting it for a later 2023 release in December. Notably, this is Murphy's second movie to be produced in partnership with Amazon Studios; his much anticipated sequel, Coming 2 America, was released in 2021.
