Jack Black is an "Evil Fake Santa" in "Dear Santa": "Dumb and Dumber" Directors Reunite for Holiday Comedy

Following the release of Jack Black's other holiday film, "Red One," Paramount Pictures has now unveiled the first trailer for his upcoming Christmas movie, "Dear Santa," on X (formerly Twitter). The studio also released several new movie stills via Entertainment Weekly.

The Christmas feature "Dear Santa" marks a reunion for the filmmaking duo Bobby and Peter Farrelly, best known for "Dumb and Dumber." Bobby Farrelly directs the film, while Peter Farrelly penned the screenplay and serves as a producer. This project marks their first collaboration in a decade, following 2014's "Dumb and Dumber To."

"Dear Santa" tells the story of a young boy whose Christmas wish goes awry when he accidentally misspells "Santa" as "Satan." This clerical error leads Satan to receive his first-ever letter from a child, prompting him to impersonate Santa Claus and fulfill the boy's wishes.

In addition to Jack Black, the cast features Keegan-Michael Key, musician Post Malone, Brianne Howey, Hayes MacArthur, and P.J. Byrne, among others.

"Dear Santa" is set to premiere exclusively on Paramount+ on November 25, 2024.
