TV Insider has announced that MTV Entertainment Studios Comedy Central will be getting into the Christmas spirit this year with a brand new network holiday original movie, A Clüsterfünke Christmas. Production recently started on the upcoming film that stars Vella Lovell (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”), Cheyenne Jackson (“American Horror Story”), Ryan McPartlin (“Once Upon a Main Street,” “Twinkle All the Way”) and SNL veterans Rachel Dratch and Ana Gasteyer.

A Clüsterfünke Christmas is a comedy that’s actually a parody of the holiday TV romance films that you all know and love. The story follows Holly (Lovell), a New York City real estate executive who is sent out on assignment to purchase the Clüsterfünke Inn (owned by Dratch and Gasteyer’s characters) located in a quaint small town.

Holly is challenged when she meets Frank (Jackson) and has to decide whether she should complete the assignment and go back to her city life, or fall in love with him and find the spirit of Christmas.

The movie is directed by Anna Dokoza with a story penned by Dratch and Gasteyer.

“It feels like a Christmas miracle to work together to create the ultimate holiday TV movie homage,” Dratch and Gasteyer said in a statement. “We’re whipping up a punchy seasonal cocktail with insider insight from holiday film vets Danielle von Zerneck and Michael Murray, the keen eye of Anna Dokoza, and brimming with ribbons, townsfolk, and tropes – all against the classic festive backdrop of Vancouver in July!”

(Update: 11/29/21) — A Clüsterfünke Christmas will air on Saturday, December 4th at 7pm/6c on Comedy Central!

Stay merry!
