Eddie Murphy to Produce, and Star in, New Holiday Movie from Amazon Studios!

In an anticipated addition to his film agreement with Amazon Studios, Eddie Murphy has just produced, and head-lined, a new holiday film with a star-studded cast.

Here's the film's synopsis:

Eddie Murphy stars in this holiday comedy adventure about a man on a mission to win his neighborhood’s annual Christmas home decoration contest. After Chris (Eddie Murphy) inadvertently makes a deal with a mischievous elf named 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.

"Candy Cane Lane" is the second film, following the 2021 release of Coming 2 America, in Murphy's three picture deal with Amazon Studios. There is no word yet on the release date of the third and final film but, for now, fans of the comedian can stream most of his content on Prime.

"Candy Cane Lane" will premiere on Prime Video on December 1, 2023.
