\n\t\u201cChristmas movies are literally the gift that keeps on giving,\u201d said Brown in a statement. \u201c\u2019Unexpected Christmas\u2019 is relatable and hilarious, but will truly be a gift for all families this holiday season!\u201d Added Howery: \u201cThis movie and this cast is so special and will be the holiday movie everyone will be talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWritten by Cassandra Mann and directed by Michael Vaughn Hernandez, \u201cUnexpected Christmas\u201d follows the Scott family as they gather for the holidays, a reunion that quickly (and hilariously) devolves into chaos. Fresh off a recent breakup, Melissa\u2019s (Perry) return home takes an unexpected twist when her ex-boyfriend Richard (Howery) arrives at the family gathering arm in arm with her estranged stepsister Kerry (Gomez-Preston).\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cMarissa tries to play it cool and invites a surprise guest of her own who has everyone talking, all while Kerry is cooking up a scheme that could ruin the whole celebration,\u201d the official synopsis reads. \u201cAdd in a few romantic mix-ups, old rivalries, plenty of family secrets, and everyone is in for an unforgettable holiday. With love, laughter and a little bit of chaos around every corner, this Christmas might just bring the Scotts closer together \u2014 or blow the roof off the house!\u201d<\/p>\n
