Christmas is coming early this year, but there is something seriously strange happening next door.
The teaser trailer has arrived for CHRISTMAS AT THE KRINGLES, a new horror comedy that mixes suburban family drama with twisted holiday madness, action, and plenty of Christmas chaos.
Starring Ron Livingston, Rachel Bilson, Rob Riggle, Arden Myrin, Donald Faison, and Thomas Lennon, the film hits theatres exclusively on October 30.
The Neighbors Who Celebrate Christmas Every Day
The story follows Mark and Julie Severson, who move their family into a quiet suburban neighborhood hoping for a fresh start.
Their new home comes with some unusual neighbors.
Living next door are the Kringles, a family that takes its love of Christmas to a whole different level by celebrating the holiday all year long.
At first, their nonstop Christmas spirit seems more quirky than threatening. That changes when the Seversons’ son becomes increasingly fascinated with the Kringles and starts spending more and more time with them.
As Mark and Julie become suspicious about what is happening, their concerns eventually lead to a confrontation with their neighbors.
That’s when Mark discovers that the Kringles have much darker plans for his family.

Christmas Takes a Very Dark Turn
What begins as an odd relationship between neighboring families quickly becomes a fight for survival.
Mark learns that the Kringles intend to hypnotize and indoctrinate his family, forcing him into a desperate mission to get his wife and son back.
But Mark won’t be taking on the Kringles alone.
He joins forces with a rogue Santa, played by Rob Riggle, as the pair take on the bizarre Christmas-loving family in an all-out battle to save Mark’s loved ones.
So much for simply being friendly with the neighbors.
