Comedian Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross star in holiday comedy Candy Cane Lane. In addition to Murphy and Ross, the film also stars Jillian Bell, Ken Marino, Nick Offerman, Robin Thede, Chris Redd, D.C. Young Fly, and Anjelah Johnson-Reyes.
The film reunites director Reginald Hudlin, Murphy, and producer Brian Grazer for the first time since their 1992 hit, Boomerang. The film is written by Kelly Younger who was inspired by his own childhood holiday experiences on Candy Cane Lane in El Segundo, CA.
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.
“I can’t wait for the world to see CANDY CANE LANE. I’ve wanted to make a Christmas movie my whole life, but I wanted to do something fresh and surprising” said Hudlin. “Eddie Murphy and this hilarious cast really bring the funny, it’s super Christmas-y, and it will hit you right in the feels.”
Doug Merrifield acts as executive producer on the film, and other producers include Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Eddie Murphy, Karen Lunder, Charisse Hewitt-Webster.
Candy Cane Lane is slated to premiere on Prime Video December 1.
