Christmas with the Kranks is a 2004 American Christmas comedy film directed by Joe Roth and based on the 2001 novel Skipping Christmas by John Grisham.

The film stars Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis as Luther and Nora Krank, a couple who decide to skip Christmas altogether and go on a cruise instead, much to the shock and disapproval of their Christmas-obsessed neighbors.

Their plans are turned upside down when their daughter unexpectedly announces she’s coming home for the holidays, forcing the Kranks into a frantic, last-minute effort to pull together a traditional Christmas celebration.

Filled with slapstick humor and holiday chaos, Christmas with the Kranks offers a lighthearted take on family, tradition, and the spirit of Christmas. While it received mixed reviews from critics, it has become a seasonal favorite for many viewers during the holidays.
