“We should’ve gone with my idea.” Netflix has unveiled the trailer for a holiday crime comedy called Jingle Bell Heist, arriving to watch later in November in the holiday season. It’s about two thieves who become lovers who try to pull off the same heist who then run into problems with their heist and their relationship. Two down-on-their-luck hourly workers reluctantly form an alliance to rob one of London’s most illustrious stores on Christmas Eve. As they hatch their plans, the pair start to realize there are sparks between them — and they’re not from the twinkly holiday lights around jolly London town. Starring Olivia Holt as Sophia Martin, who moved to London to care fer her mom; and Connor Swindells as Nick O’Connor, a former security consultant turned phone tech. Along with Lucy Punch, Peter Serafinowicz, Poppy Drayton, Natasha Joseph, and Michael Salami. This looks like a made-for-TV riff on Bad Santa, but without the same crude humor that Billy Bob Thornton brought to that. Another Netflix watch & forget holiday special.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Michael Fimognari’s comedy Jingle Bell Heist, from YouTube:
“This holiday, payback never looked so festive.” Sophia (Olivia Holt), a sharp-witted retail worker, and Nick (Connor Swindells), a down-on-his-luck repairman, are small-time thieves both with eyes on the same Christmas Eve score: robbing London’s most notorious department store. Forced into an uneasy alliance, as secrets surface & feelings for each other deepen, Sophia & Nick put their relationship and the heist in jeopardy. Jingle Bell Heist is directed by American producer / filmmaker Michael Fimognari, director of the films To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, To All the Boys: Always & Forever, and series “The Midnight Club” & “The Fall of the House of Usher” previously. The screenplay is by Abby McDonald and Amy Reed; and story by Abby McDonald. Produced by Matt Kaplan; co-produced by Shannon Gibson. Netflix debuts Fimognari’s Jingle Bell Heist streaming on Netflix starting November 26th, 2025 this fall.
