Eddie Murphy is bringing the holiday cheer in a new trailer for Candy Cane Lane. The prolific comedian signed a three-picture deal with Amazon back in 2021, which came about after his Coming 2 America film moved from theaters to Prime Video during the pandemic. Of course, that hasn't stopped Eddie Murphy from working on Beverly Hills Cop 4 at Netflix, along with the comedy You People. As far as Prime Video goes, it's ready to ring in the holiday season with Candy Cane Lane, with Eddie Murphy playing a family man who is out to win his neighborhood's Christmas home decoration contest.

When Eddie Murphy's character, Chris, turns to a mischievous elf to help him win, the deal brings the 12 Days of Christmas to life, where they terrorize the neighborhood. Candy Cane Lane packs some star power, with the film also starring Tracee Ellis Ross, Jillian Bell, Nick Offerman, and many more. Candy Cane Lane is the perfect film to watch at home with the family while you wrap Christmas gifts and enjoy that sweet quality time with your loved ones.
