This Christmas season, prepare to laugh, cheer, and feel all the holiday warmth with Holiday Twist, a new festive comedy set to hit UK digital platforms on 11 November 2024, courtesy of Miracle Media. Featuring a star-studded cast including Neal McDonough, Sean Astin, and Kelly Stables, this heartwarming holiday film promises to be the perfect family-friendly treat, packed with laughter, feel-good moments, and a sprinkle of holiday magic.
Directed by Stephanie Garvin in her feature directorial debut, Holiday Twist brings together a top-notch creative team, including Scott M. Rosenfelt, the producer behind Home Alone. Garvin, known for her work on The Trial of the Chicago 7, delivers a lighthearted yet meaningful story that celebrates the true spirit of the holidays – kindness, community, forgiveness, and joy.
The Story: A Christmas Caper with Heart
At the center of Holiday Twist is Connie, played by Kelly Stables (Superstore, The Exes), a high-powered executive who's lost touch with the joy of the holiday season. Overworked and disconnected, Connie is more focused on business than Christmas cheer. But everything changes when two hilariously incompetent present thieves, Skip (Neal McDonough, Band of Brothers) and Boogie (Thomas Smith), botch their way into her life, wreaking havoc on her work and the community.
As Connie's perfectly ordered world gets turned upside down, she's forced to confront her inner Scrooge and rediscover the magic of Christmas. With a little help from the people around her and a wise Salvation Army Santa, portrayed by American Paralympic athlete Blake Leeper, Connie learns that the holidays aren't about ticking off to-do lists but about making a positive impact and spreading joy.
A Star-Studded Cast and a Merry Message
Holiday Twist is set to become a new Christmas favorite thanks to its charming cast and heartfelt message. Neal McDonough and Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings) bring their comedic flair to the screen as the bumbling thieves, while Kelly Stables shines as the workaholic executive in need of a holiday miracle. Blake Leeper's portrayal of the Salvation Army Santa adds an extra layer of inspiration, with his real-life achievements as a Paralympic athlete and world-record holder giving depth to the character.
Beyond the humor and hijinks, Holiday Twist serves as a reminder of what the holiday season is all about: spreading kindness, forgiveness, and joy. It's a heartwarming story perfect for families looking for a new holiday tradition.
