Oh. What. Fun. (2025): A Hilariously Unconventional Holiday Comedy You Can’t Miss

It’s beginning to look a lot like chaos
 and we’re absolutely here for it. Oh. What. Fun. is the holiday movie we didn’t know we needed — a witty, heartfelt, and slightly off-the-rails Christmas comedy starring Michelle Pfeiffer as the matriarch who’s had enough of picture-perfect holiday pressure.


Streaming exclusively on Prime Video on December 3, 2025, this festive treat from director Michael Showalter (The Big Sick, Hello, My Name Is Doris) promises laughter, family drama, and a much-needed reminder that sometimes the best holiday magic happens when everything goes wrong.



🎁 Plot: When Mom Goes Missing, the Holidays Really Begin


Meet Claire Clauster (Michelle Pfeiffer) — the unshakeable holiday hero in her family. Every December, Claire transforms her home into a winter wonderland with Pinterest-perfect cookies, beautifully wrapped presents, and holiday cheer on demand. But this year, her grown kids, distracted husband, and self-absorbed grandkids are too caught up in their own drama to notice what (or who) makes the season special.

And that’s when it happens: they forget Claire.


But Claire’s not sitting around waiting for an apology. Instead, she vanishes on a holiday adventure of her own, complete with mistletoe, mayhem, and a long-overdue serving of self-care. As her clueless family scrambles to find her and fix their Christmas, Claire rediscovers the joy of a holiday that’s just for her.


🌟 Cast: A Glittering Ensemble of Holiday All-Stars


Oh. What. A. Cast. This film boasts a powerhouse ensemble of stars that brings both charm and chaos to the screen:

  • Michelle Pfeiffer as Claire Clauster – the queen of Christmas who's finally had enough

  • Felicity Jones

  • Danielle Brooks

  • Denis Leary

  • Dominic Sessa

  • Havana Rose Liu

  • Maude Apatow

  • Devery Jacobs

Each actor plays a member of Claire’s hilariously dysfunctional family, bringing layers of comedy and emotion to this feel-good (but never sappy) holiday romp.
