Actor and Producer Continues Expanding His Hollywood Slate with Genre-Bending Holiday Film Starring Ron Livingston, Rachel Bilson, Rob Riggle, Thomas Lennon, Arden Myrin, Donald Faison and Beverly D’Angelo
LOS ANGELES, CA. Actor and producer Don Worley continues to expand his presence behind the camera as an Executive Producer of Christmas at the Kringles, the upcoming genre-bending holiday comedy acquired for domestic distribution by Briarcliff Entertainment and scheduled for a wide theatrical release on October 30, 2026.
Directed by Kevin Lewis (Willy’s Wonderland) from a screenplay by Zack Imbrogno, Christmas at the Kringles features an ensemble cast led by Ron Livingston, Rachel Bilson, Rob Riggle, Thomas Lennon, Arden Myrin, Donald Faison, Beverly D’Angelo, David Wain, Alexis Kemp and Zeke Jones.
The film takes the familiar traditions of a Christmas movie and turns them in an unexpected direction. The story follows the Severson family as they move into a suburban neighborhood and discover that their new neighbors, the Kringles, celebrate Christmas all year long. What initially appears to be an eccentric but cheerful obsession becomes increasingly unsettling as Mark and Julie Severson begin questioning the Kringles’ influence over their family, ultimately uncovering something far more sinister beneath the holiday decorations.
Worley serves as an Executive Producer on the film and also steps in front of the camera in the role of Anton, continuing the dual actor-producer career that has become an increasingly important part of his work in Hollywood.
“Christmas at the Kringles is exactly the kind of project I enjoy being involved with because it takes something audiences immediately recognize and turns it into something they don’t expect,” said Worley. “It has comedy, action, great characters and a very different spin on the traditional Christmas movie. Having Briarcliff behind the theatrical release gives us the opportunity to bring that experience to audiences on a large scale.”
The domestic acquisition by Briarcliff Entertainment marks an important milestone for the project. Led by veteran distributor Tom Ortenberg, Briarcliff is positioning the film for a nationwide theatrical rollout heading into the 2026 holiday season.
Christmas at the Kringles is scheduled to open in theaters nationwide October 30, 2026, through Briarcliff Entertainment.
