December 3, 2025 – Can I Help? The newest holiday phrase is here, and it’s dedicated to all the hard‑working moms who make the season shine.

Chris and Will had the pleasure of watching the pre‑release of Amazon MGM Studios’ new holiday film OH. WHAT. FUN., now officially on the must‑watch list for the season. Perfect for family viewing, this well‑produced comedy was crafted with the quality of a theatrical release.

Premiering globally on Prime Video December 3, OH. WHAT. FUN. is directed by Michael Showalter (The Big Sick, The Dropout) and blends humor, heart, and family chaos into a modern Christmas classic.

Based on Chandler Baker’s 2021 short story, the film follows Claire Clauster (Michelle Pfeiffer), the overlooked matriarch of a dysfunctional family Christmas. Moms deserve recognition, yet too often the holidays leave them with a quick thank‑you before everyone disappears. Pfeiffer brings Claire to life with humor and relatability, showing what happens when she decides to take matters into her own hands.

The ensemble cast includes Denis Leary, Felicity Jones, Chloë Grace Moretz, Dominic Sessa, Jason Schwartzman, Eva Longoria, and Joan Chen. Inspired by 1980s holiday classics, the film mixes zany comedy with heartfelt family dynamics. Pfeiffer describes Claire as “the unsung hero of her family” who finally claims her voice in a season of self‑discovery.

OH. WHAT. FUN. is a modern family Christmas story filled with drama, secrets, and the universal desire to be seen for who we truly are. Producers Berry Welsh, Jordana Mollick, and Kate Churchill join Showalter in crafting what they hope will become a new holiday staple.

Chris and Will give the film a glowing 10 out of 10 stars, calling it a new holiday classic. Sometimes changing the routine is what makes traditions stronger — and this film reminds us that Christmas can evolve while still keeping its heart.

OH. WHAT. FUN. is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. To learn more about Chris and Will and listen to production interviews, listen to their podcast What About Our Life? on iHeartRadio, or visit chrisandwill.com.
