Screenwriter Kelly Younger's idea for the Christmas movie was influenced by his old Los Angeles neighborhood which puts on one of the biggest holiday light shows during the Christmas season. The screenwriter describes what it was like to bring the story from the script to the Prime Video movie.
Eddie Murphy stars in this holiday comedy adventure about a man on a mission to win his neighborhood’s annual Christmas home decoration contest. After Chris (Eddie Murphy) inadvertently makes a deal with a mischievous elf named Pepper (Jillian Bell) to better his chances of winning, she casts a magic spell that brings the 12 Days of Christmas to life, and wreaks havoc on the whole town. At the risk of ruining the holidays for his family, Chris, his wife Carol (Tracee Ellis Ross), and their three children must race against the clock to break Pepper’s spell, battle deviously magical characters, and save Christmas for everyone.
The Christmas comedy is now streaming starring Murphy, Tracee Ellis Ross and Jillian Bell.
