Brace yourselves, Halloween fans. A chill is in the air, and before you know it, Spirit Halloweens will transform into Christmas villages. Netflix is ready, rolling out a red carpet for their new selection of yuletide romantic comedies, the first of which is A Merry Little Ex-Mas.
Clueless icon Alicia Silverstone stars (and executive produces) alongside Sabrina the Teenage Witch star (and fellow producer) Melissa Joan Hart in this seemingly winsome comedy about moving on, dating while parenting, and May-December romances. But, not to get your expectations too high, these ’90s icons are not falling in love with each other. They’re playing besties facing a new chapter in life together. Joining them in this seasonal romp are Oliver Hudson, Jameela Jamil, Pierson Fodé, Linda Kash, Wilder Hudson, and Emily Hall.
As you can see in the trailer above, Silverstone stars as the recently divorced Kate, who’s trying to make the holidays as easy on her kids as possible by allowing her ex-husband, Everett (Hudson), and her in-laws to join in the festivities as usual. There’s just one problem: Everett has a new girlfriend (Jamil), who is younger and socially bumbling but undeniably charming. Is she hotter than Kate? As if! Still, Kate’s ego is stinging until this former-wife meets a strapping new man (Pierson Fodé from The Wrong Paris). And if you’re seeking some Hot Frosty-level sauciness, you’ll appreciate the bit in the trailer above when her new beau’s tuxedo practically explodes off his pecs.
A Merry Little Ex-Mas comes to Netflix on November 12.
