Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Strange as it may sound, Luther and Nora Krank, award-winning Christmas experts, are determined to do the unthinkable: skip Christmas and spend the money on a sun-kissed, 10-day Caribbean cruise. But this is easier said than done. As the community's sweet eccentrics turn their backs on Christmas, a last-minute phone call from their homesick daughter changes everything. And as if that weren't enough, the unexpected visitor has a surprise in tow. Now the clock is ticking--the Christmas rebels must face the music. Can the Kranks create Christmas out of thin air and save the day in a few hours? Written by Nick Riganas |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The film is based on John Grisham's book "Skipping Christmas". The original title is seen in the newspaper article after the tanning-salon incident. The title was changed to avoid confusion with Surviving Christmas (2004). Both movies were holiday comedies released the same year, and both were received poorly by critics. See more » |
| Goofs | While Luther hangs from the rope outside his house, the firefighter behind Vic is hit in the head with the ladder that they're raising. Accidents happen in real life too. See more » |

Nora Krank:
You forgot the white chocolate! Luther Krank: They didn't have any. Nora Krank: Did you talk to Rex? Luther Krank: Who's Rex? Nora Krank: The butcher. Luther Krank: As odd as it sounds, I didn't think to ask the butcher where the chocolate was! See more » |
