Alicia Silverstone (Reptile, Clueless) is decking the halls for A Merry Little Ex-Mas, the latest addition to the Netflix holiday-verse you can add to your annual watch list. From director Steve Carr (Daddy Day Care) and writer Holly Hester (The Royal Treatment), A Merry Little Ex-Mas also stars Oliver Hudson, Jameela Jamil, Pierson Fode, and Melissa Joan Hart. The film, executive produced by Silverstone, along with Hart and her mother, Paula Hart, premieres Wednesday Nov. 12 on Netflix.
FROM NETFLIX TUDUM:
Kate (Silverstone) is recently divorced, and hoping for a picture-perfect family Christmas one last time before she sells her house. Unfortunately, her dreams of a nostalgic holiday break are dashed when her ex-husband, Everett (Hudson), unexpectedly introduces his young and successful new girlfriend into the mix. But, hey, what’s the holiday season without a little mischief?
Director Carr says that Kate’s journey is one that leads her to reflect on the good things in life she already has. “Like George in It’s a Wonderful Life, when something big happens to shake up your life, it changes your point of view, and you realize the life you have is the one you’re meant to have,” Carr tells Tudum.
“This was a dream-come-true cast,” Hart tells Tudum about her co-stars. “It’s a mystery to me how Alicia and I have somehow never even met until now, considering we have so much and so many people in common. Oliver is one of the funniest men I’ve ever met … Jameela I was dying to work with, and we hit it off like BFFs immediately. And Pierson’s a complete pro and such a joy on set!”
