Prime Video has released first look photos of their new Eddie Murphy-led holiday adventure Candy Cane Lane.

Candy Cane Lane follows Chris, a man who is on a mission to win his neighorhood’s annual Christmas home decorating contest. When he makes a deal with the mischevious elf Pepper (Jillian Bell) 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 (Tracee Ellis Ross), and their three children must race against the clock to break Pepper’s spell, battle deviously magical characters, and save Christmas for everyone.

This is Murphy’s first ever holiday movie and finds him reuniting with director Reginald Hudlin and producer Brian Grazer for the first time since their 1992 hit Boomerang. The screenplay comes from Kelly Younger, who was inspired by his own holiday experiences on Candy Cane Lane in El Segundo, California.

Celebrate the holidays with Candy Cane Lane out December 1 on Prime Video.
