The holiday season heralds a time of joy, family gatherings, and the heartwarming tradition of festive films. This year, Prime Video is set to elevate the holiday cheer with the premiere of ‘Candy Cane Lane’, a delightful comedy-adventure that promises to be the family favorite of the season. Starring the legendary Eddie Murphy, this film is a blend of humor, holiday spirit, and a touch of magic, scheduled to premiere globally on December 1st.

As the winter chill sets in and the festive lights begin to twinkle, ‘Candy Cane Lane’ invites audiences to join in on a yuletide journey like no other. Murphy takes on the role of Chris, a father whose determination to win his neighborhood’s Christmas decoration contest leads him to an unexpected pact with a whimsical elf, setting off a series of magical mishaps that threaten to upend the holiday for the entire town.

A Stellar Cast Set to Sparkle on Screen

The film boasts a stellar ensemble with Murphy at the helm, bringing to life the character of Chris with his signature comedic flair. Jillian Bell shines as the mischievous elf whose enchantments turn the town’s Christmas upside down. Tracee Ellis Ross stars as Carol, Chris’s wife, who, alongside their three children, joins the frantic quest to undo the elf’s spell and save their holiday traditions.
