Jack Whitehall Spreads Christmas Cheer With Brand New Comedy Special For Prime Video - Jack in Time for Christmas

The one-off special will launch exclusively on Prime Video in December and sees an ensemble of famous faces including Michael Bublé, Jimmy Fallon and Rebel Wilson

Prime Video unveiled its brand-new Christmas Special Jack In Time For Christmas, led by comedian and actor, Jack Whitehall. The UK Original is set to launch exclusively on Prime Video worldwide in December 2024. The special is produced by Workerbee (a Banijay UK company) and Jackpot Productions.

'Tis the season for gifts, goodwill, and of course genre-bending seasonal semi-scripted specials. That's why Prime Video has wrapped up the ultimate Christmas present for comedy lovers. In this hilariously festive feature, Jack Whitehall finds himself stranded in the USA with just four days to make it back to the UK for Christmas. With time ticking away, Jack embarks on an incredible and, some would say, implausible journey involving planes, trains, huskies, and bobsleighs. A stockingful of conveniently located famous faces help (and hinder) along the way as Jack navigates the chaos of Christmas and tries to make it home in time.

Part scripted comedy, part unscripted travelogue - Jack is joined by Michael Bublé, Dave Bautista, Rebel Wilson, Jimmy Fallon, Daisy May Cooper, and Tom Davies, who, together with Jack's unmistakable British wit, deliver a sparkling international cast set to deliver heaps of laughter. Will Jack make it home in time to make the gravy? Or will he be spending the holidays in the states, and the doghouse?
