Murphy
gets
hoodwinked,
bamboozled,
led
astray
by
a
scammy
elf
named
Pepper
(Jillian
Bell)
who
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.”
