There are people who would celebrate Christmas all year long if they could, and that’s exactly what happens in the twisted new holiday thriller Christmas at the Kringles. A family moves from the city to a new neighborhood and discovers their neighbors celebrate the holiday every day of the year. The problem comes when things take a sinister turn, and the family has to fight back against the holiday spirit. To celebrate the film’s October 30 release, Collider is thrilled to bring you an exclusive sneak peek from Christmas at the Kringles.
Starring Ron Livingston, Rachel Bilson, Donald Faison, Rob Riggle, Tom Lennon, and more, the film mixes a lot of comedy powerhouses with the horror elements present in the film’s trailer. Directed by Kevin Lewis, there is a lot to enjoy about this upcoming horror release. Including Christmas film legend Beverly D’Angelo starring as Mama Kringle! Christmas at the Kringles is described as follows: “The Severson family move to a suburban neighborhood where their neighbors, the Kringles, celebrate Christmas year-round and harbor sinister intentions to hypnotize and indoctrinate them.”
Our exclusive sneak peek shows Mark (Livington) and Julie (Bilson) talking to their new neighbor, Daryl (Faison). In the brief interaction they have with Daryl, they learn a lot about his life and how he also used to live in the city — and how his wife left him after having an affair, what happened to their belongings, and what happens when you don’t sign a prenup. There aren’t any answers to whatever questions might be there about their neighbors obsessed with the holidays, but at least the Seversons do know Daryl’s entire story. The sneak peek also serves as a nice Scrubs nod.
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
- You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
- You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
- You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
- The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
- You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
- You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
- You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
- In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
- You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
- In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
- You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
- In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
- Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
- You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
- Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
- In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
- You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
- You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
- You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
- In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
Not Your Average Christmas Movie
Even though celebrating the Christmas season in October is taboo, the film is a blend of both Halloween and Christmas with its horror elements. More than that, people have been searching for and celebrating holiday films that are less about the good feel of the season and more about mixing genres. Movies like Violent Night helped bring action back into Christmas-inspired films; we’ve had other horror/holiday movies like Silent Night, Deadly Night, Terrifier 3, and more. Adding Christmas at the Kringles to that list is going to be a fun time for all fans of Christmas, especially for those who love a little horror twist to their holiday spirit.
You can see Christmas at the Kringles on October 30 when it arrives on Digital. Check out our exclusive sneak peek above and stay tuned at Collider for more.
