Published: November 7, 2024 — Paramount+ today revealed the trailer for Dear Santa, the upcoming original holiday comedy from the Farrelly Brothers, which will premiere on the streaming service on November 25. The film has been rated PG-13 for some language and suggestive material.

The movie, which is the service’s first original Christmas film, will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and the following day in the UK and Australia. Additional Paramount+ international market premiere dates will be announced at a later time.

The movie will also be featured in the annual Paramount+ “‘Tis the Season for Streaming” holiday collection that curates a broad and popular lineup of beloved movies, seasonal episodes from hit original series, and festive specials for the whole household to enjoy. The film will also be available to buy on digital the same day.

Dear Santa is the story of a young boy (Robert Timothy Smith) who mails his Christmas wish list to Santa with one crucial spelling error, resulting in a devilish Jack Black’s arrival to wreak havoc on the holidays.

Additional cast members of the deviously charming Christmas film include Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele, Wonka), Brianne Howey (Ginny & Georgia), Hayes MacArthur (Angie Tribeca, Merry Happy Whatever), global music superstar Post Malone, P.J. Byrne (The Boys, The Big Cigar), Jaden Carson Baker, and Kai Cech.
