Netflix unwraps the trailer for A Merry Little Ex-Mas, starring Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson in a holiday comedy about family, love, and moving on.
Netflix is getting into the holiday spirit with the release of the official trailer and key art for A Merry Little Ex-Mas, a new festive comedy starring Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson. The film will stream globally on November 12, 2025, bringing laughter, love, and a few awkward surprises to the most wonderful time of the year.
In A Merry Little Ex-Mas, recently divorced Kate (played by Silverstone) is determined to host one last perfect family Christmas before selling her beloved home. But her carefully planned holiday quickly goes off the rails when her ex-husband Everett (Hudson) unexpectedly shows up — and brings along his younger, highly successful new girlfriend. What follows is a hilariously uncomfortable Christmas reunion full of heart and humor.
The film is directed by Steve Carr, known for his work in feel-good comedies, and written by Holly Hester. Paula Hart and Melissa Joan Hart serve as producers, while Alicia Silverstone and Galen Fletcher executive produce.
Joining Silverstone and Hudson in the ensemble cast are Jameela Jamil, Pierson Fodé, Wilder Hudson, Emily Hall, Timothy Innes, and Melissa Joan Hart, who also brings her signature charm to the holiday lineup.
With its blend of sharp wit, heartfelt emotion, and festive spirit, A Merry Little Ex-Mas promises to deliver a new kind of Christmas classic — one that celebrates second chances, messy family moments, and the beauty of moving forward.
A Merry Little Ex-Mas premieres November 12, 2025, exclusively on Netflix.
