Christmas With The Kranks

With their daughter Blair in Peru with the Peace Corps, Luther and Nora Krank decide for once to forget decorating, fruitcakes, and parties for Christmas and go on a Caribbean cruise instead. But their neighbours are aghast, especially local busybody Vic Frohmeyer. To make matters worse, Luther refuses to put his illuminated Frosty the Snowman on his rooftop, a seamless Hemlock Street look for which it has won many contests. As the battle between the Kranks and their neighbours escalates, threatening the harmony of the community, Luther and Nora get a phone call from Blair. She's coming home for Christmas after all. Now the Kranks have less than 24 hours to get themselves and all the families on Hemlock Street back in the proper Christmas spirit.
