Eddie Murphy is slated to take the lead role in the upcoming Christmas movie titled “Candy Cane Lane,” which is scheduled for a holiday season premiere on the Prime Video platform. The film’s storyline revolves around elements like elves, enchantment, and a troublemaking elf named Pepper. Pepper accidentally triggers a magical spell that brings the famous “12 Days of Christmas” to life, leading to a series of chaotic events in the town.

This project marks a reunion for Eddie Murphy with director Reginald Hudlin and producer Brian Grazer, marking their first collaboration since their successful 1992 film “Boomerang.”

Comedy legend Eddie Murphy is making his debut in a holiday-themed film called “Candy Cane Lane,” where he’ll showcase his signature comedic talent. This festive project is set to be released on Prime Video just in time for the holiday season. In the movie, Murphy’s character will find himself in amusing predicaments involving elves, magic, and the potential to spoil Christmas for his family and the world. The announcement of an Eddie Murphy Christmas movie is indeed a delightful surprise in real life.

In this holiday-themed comedy adventure, Eddie Murphy takes the lead role as Chris, a determined man aiming to secure victory in his neighborhood’s annual Christmas home decoration competition. However, things take an unexpected turn when Chris unintentionally strikes a deal with a mischievous elf named Pepper, portrayed by Jillian Bell. In an attempt to improve his chances of winning, Pepper casts a magical spell that brings the 12 Days of Christmas to life, leading to chaos throughout the town. Now, to prevent their family from ruining the holiday season for everyone, Chris, his wife Carol (played by Tracee Ellis Ross), and their three children must race against time. They must find a way to undo Pepper’s spell, confront cleverly magical characters, and ultimately save Christmas for the entire community.
