Christmas at the Kringles is a 2026 holiday horror-comedy with action elements, directed by Kevin Lewis and written by Zack Imbrogno. The film is scheduled to arrive in U.S. theaters on October 30, 2026, and brings a very unusual twist to the familiar image of cheerful, year-round Christmas spirit.Show More
The story follows the Severson family as they begin again in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Their next-door neighbors, the Kringles, seem eccentric but welcoming: they celebrate Christmas every day, surrounding their lives with festive traditions and holiday cheer. At first, their constant celebrations may look like harmless fun, especially in a neighborhood where everyone is trying to settle in.
That friendly impression starts to crack when Mark and Julie Severson become uneasy about how closely their son, Bobby, is bonding with the Kringle family. Their concerns grow into something much more frightening when Bobby disappears inside the neighbors’ home. The Seversons discover that the Kringles’ holiday rituals conceal sinister intentions, including plans to hypnotize and indoctrinate those around them.
Mark’s attempt to bring his family home turns into a dangerous rescue mission. As the situation escalates, he joins forces with a rogue, hard-edged Santa figure and faces a fight that is as chaotic as it is life-threatening. The film mixes suburban unease, disturbing Christmas imagery, dark comedy, and action rather than presenting the holiday season as purely warm and comforting.
This quiz focuses on four characters associated with the central conflict: protective father Mark Severson, family-minded Julie Severson, Kringle neighbor Nick Kringle, and Kringle neighbor Carol Kringle. Since the movie’s full story and character arcs may not be publicly available before release, the questions use the published premise to explore personality traits suggested by their roles, not to test plot knowledge.
