Eddie Murphy reunites with Boomerang director Reginald Hudlin to tackle his first-ever holiday film in Candy Cane Lane, alongside Tracee Ellis Ross and an all-star comedy cast including Ken Marino (Party Down), Nick Offerman (Parks & Recreation), Robin Thede (A Black Lady Sketch Show), Chris Redd (SNL), Danielle Pinnock (Ghosts), Timothy Simons (Veep), Riki Lindhome (Wednesday), and Stephen Tobolowsky (One Day at A Time).
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.
Candy Cane Lane is directed by Reginald Hudlin, written by Kelly Younger, produced by Brian Grazer, p.g.a., Eddie Murphy, Karen Lunder, p.g.a., Charisse Hewitt-Webster, p.g.a., and Executive produced by Doug Merrifield.
