Seven-year-old Hugo receives the surprise of his life when a magical elf boy named Pixy moves into his family's house. Pixy can only return to his world next Christmas, setting the stage for a year-long adventure. Hugo goes to extraordinary lengths to conceal Pixy from his Christmas-hating father, navigating the challenges of hiding an elf who speaks a strange language and wilts under the summer heat. A year proves a daunting stretch for such secrecy, filled with close calls and clever improvisations.

Oscar-nominated producer Thomas Lydholm (known for his short film work) crafts this enchanting family Christmas movie. Starring as Hugo is Pelle Krusbæk, who launched his career in Thomas Vinterberg's Oscar-nominated "The Hunt" and shone in the lead of the Oscar-winning short "Helium." With its heartfelt message of tolerance, friendship, and team spirit, "The Christmas Family" demonstrates how an open mind and a touch of magic can reignite holiday cheer year-round.

Critics rave: "cozy, amusing and heart-warming… It is very rare that a Danish family film is so full of talent at all levels and positions, like a big-budget Hollywood movie—dimple-cheeked Macauley Culkin-look-a-like Pelle Krusbæk as Hugo is as effortlessly genuine and natural as his Hollywood role model."
