Eddie Murphy Stars in First Trailer for Candy Cane Lane

Eddie Murphy is Chris Carver in Candy Cane Lane from director Reginald Hudlin, who worked with Murphy on the 1992 film Boomerang.

Inspired by writer Kelly Younger's experiences on Candy Cane Lane in El Segundo, California, this holiday comedy adventure film follows a man on a mission to win his neighborhood's annual Christmas home decoration contest.

After Chris inadvertently makes a deal with a mischievous elf named Pepper 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, and their three children must race against the clock to break Pepper's spell, battle deviously magical characters, and save Christmas for everyone.

The film also features Tracee Ellis Ross, Jillian Bell, Thaddeus J. Mixson, Ken Marino, Nick Offerman, Robin Thede, Chris Redd, Genneya Walton, Madison Thomas, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, Lombardo Boyar, D.C. Young Fly, Danielle Pinnock, Timothy Simons, Riki Lindhome and Stephen Tobolowsky.

You can watch the first trailer for the film below, which features a healthy serving of chaos with Murphy working his usual comedic charm.

Candy Cane Lane lands on Prime Video on December 1.
