Almost Christmas tells the festive story of a beloved patriarch who asks his family for one gift this holiday season: to get along. If they can honor that wish and spend five days under the same roof without killing one another, it will be a Christmas miracle.

With Christina Hendricks • Billy Bob Thornton • Steve Pink • Kathy Bates • Tony Cox • Mark Waters • Brett Kelly • Ryan Hansen • Johnny Rosenthal • Jenny Zigrino • David Thwaites • Geyer Kosinski • Jessica Tuchinsky • Adam Fields • Andrew Gunn • Doug Ellin • John Phillips • Jeff Skowron • Zanne Devine • Daniel Hammond

Fueled by cheap whiskey, greed and hatred, Willie Soke (Billy Bob Thornton) teams up once again with his angry little sidekick, Marcus (Tony Cox), to knock off a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. Along for the ride is 'the kid' - chubby and cheery Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly), a 250-pound ray of sunshine who brings out Willie's sliver of humanity.

Mommy issues arise when the pair are joined by Kathy Bates, as Willie's horror story of a mother, Sunny Soke. A super butch super bitch, Sunny raises the bar for the gang's ambitions, while somehow lowering the standards of criminal behavior. Willie is further burdened by lusting after the curvaceous and prim Diane, played by Christina Hendricks, the charity director with a heart of gold and libido of steel.
