A Merry Little Ex-Mas 2025

A Merry Little Ex-Mas is a 2025 holiday romantic comedy directed by Steve Carr (Paul Blart: Mall Cop) that explores the chaotic unraveling of a "perfect" family Christmas. The plot follows Kate (Alicia Silverstone) and Everett (Oliver Hudson), a divorcing couple who agree to host one last festive celebration together for their children at their family home before selling it. Their plan for an amicable goodbye is thrown into disarray when Everett unexpectedly arrives with his polished new girlfriend, Tess (Jameela Jamil), prompting Kate to retaliate by inviting her own younger, eccentric love interest, Chet (Pierson Fodé). The resulting tension leads to a series of comedic mishaps, jealousies, and the eventual re-evaluation of their broken marriage. The film features a nostalgic ensemble cast led by 90s icons Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson, supported by Melissa Joan Hart as Kate’s best friend April, Jameela Jamil, and Pierson Fodé. It was released exclusively on Netflix on November 12, 2025, bypassing theaters entirely, which means it has no traditional box office gross. Critically, the film received largely mixed-to-negative reviews; while some viewers enjoyed the "guilty pleasure" vibe and the charm of the veteran cast, critics largely dismissed it as a predictable, "by-the-numbers" holiday movie with forced chemistry and a weak script, often labeling it as "gift-wrapped rubbish" that relies too heavily on tropes rather than genuine humor or heart.
