Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds put a musical spin on A Christmas Carol in new Spirited trailer

November 2, 2022 by Amie Cranswick

Apple TV+ has shared a new trailer for Spirited, director Sean Anders’ upcoming holiday musical comedy which is a twist on the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol.

The film follows the Ghost of Christmas Present (Will Ferrell), as this season he picks the wrong Scrooge when he pays a visit to Clint Briggs (Ryan Reynolds), who turns the tables on his ghostly host, forcing him to re-examine his own life.

Each Christmas Eve, the Ghost of Christmas Present (Will Ferrell) selects one dark soul to be reformed by a visit from three spirits. But this season, he picked the wrong Scrooge. Clint Briggs (Ryan Reynolds) turns the tables on his ghostly host until Present finds himself reexamining his own past, present and future. For the first time, ‘A Christmas Carol’ is told from the perspective of the ghosts in this hilarious musical twist on the classic Dickens tale.

Spirited features a cast that includes Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, Octavia Spencer, Sunita Mani, Patrick Page, Joe Tippett, Marlow Barkley and Jen Tullock.

Spirited premieres on Apple TV+ on November 18th.
