The holiday spirit just got a bold, vibrant makeover! True Brit Entertainment has officially unveiled the first trailer for Christmas Karma, a joyful, genre-bending musical comedy written and directed by none other than Gurinder Chadha — the visionary behind Bend It Like Beckham and Bride & Prejudice. Slated for release on November 14th, 2025, this multicultural Christmas extravaganza reimagines Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol with a dazzling blend of London diversity, bhangra beats, gospel choirs, and some seriously contagious festive vibes.
The film stars a glittering, global cast led by Kunal Nayyar, with Eva Longoria, Billy Porter, Boy George, Danny Dyer, Leo Suter, Pixie Lott, Charithra Chandran, and Hugh Bonneville rounding out the cast. Each actor brings their unique flair to Chadha’s kaleidoscopic vision of London — a city where past, present, and future collide to deliver one big karmic wake-up call, wrapped in sequins and set to a killer soundtrack.
And what a soundtrack it is. With original music and festive twists from Gary Barlow, Nitin Sawhney, Shaznay Lewis, Ben Cullum, Panjabi MC, Jassi Sidhu, and Malkit Singh, Christmas Karma promises a sonic blend like no other. Expect everything from traditional carols to bhangra, gospel, rap, and iconic pop anthems, all remixed into one soulful seasonal mixtape.
Set in modern-day London, Christmas Karma retains the heart of Dickens’ classic — the transformation of a miser into a man of warmth and generosity — but updates it with Chadha’s signature flair: big-hearted storytelling, cultural crossover, and messages that resonate. From prejudice to reconciliation, identity to belonging, the story serves up more than just holiday cheer — it’s a celebration of humanity in all its messy, beautiful complexity.
Inspired by Frank Capra’s It’s A Wonderful Life, this film doesn’t just sprinkle snowflakes and slapstick — it dives deep into the emotional heart of the season, while never losing its fun. From the trailer, we can already tell this one is destined to be a new British Christmas classic — the kind families revisit year after year.
So mark your calendars — November 14, 2025, is when the sleigh bells, dhol beats, and dance numbers land in theatres.
