The screenplay, by Kelly Younger, is rooted in the author's childhood memories of Candy Cane Lane in El Segundo, California. And what a story it turns out to be! The film follows Chris (Eddie Murphy) who, in his quest to win his neighborhood's annual Christmas decorating contest, strikes a deal with the elf Pepper (Jillian Bell). However, things go awry when she casts an enchanted spell, causing chaos and hilarity.
