A Very Jonas Christmas Movie Premieres in NYC

The brothers are diving back into their Disney roots, and honestly, we’re just here for the glorious, chaotic ride. The trio—Kevin, Joe, and Nick—lit up New York City for the film’s world premiere, proving that even in the middle of a global tour, there’s always time for a little self-promotional Christmas magic.

The brothers walked on the red carpet alongside celebs who made cameos in “A Very Jonas Christmas Movie.” The stars included Randall Park, Laverne Cox, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Let’s just pause and appreciate the casting of Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Santa Claus. It’s the kind of inspired, slightly unhinged choice we live for.

The guest list didn’t stop there. Milo Manheim, Susan Kelechi Watson, and Adrienne Warren also showed up to bask in the festive Jonas glow. Naturally, the entire Jonas clan was there in full force, from the “Bonus Jonas” Franklin to Kevin’s wife Danielle and their kids, Alena and Valentina. Per ABC7, Joe Jonas said, “Anytime we get to work together and do something that’s kind of out of the box for us, that’s really special. It’s been so fun to work on this project and see it come to life. It’s kind of one of those pinch-me moments. A lot of people worked really hard on this.”

It was a wholesome-palooza, a stark contrast to the usual Hollywood drama we’ve grown accustomed to. For one night, it seemed like everyone was just happy to be there, probably because the promise of an open bar at The Plaza is a powerful motivator. So, what’s the plot of “A Very Jonas Christmas Movie?”

What Exactly Is a ‘Jonas Christmas Movie’?

According to the synopsis, the film follows the brothers—playing themselves, because who else could they possibly play?—as they embark on a mad dash from London to New York to make it home for Christmas. The synopsis reads, per Disney, “In “A Very Jonas Christmas Movie,” Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas face a series of escalating obstacles as they struggle to make it from London to New York in time to spend Christmas with their families.”

It’s a classic “race against time” holiday trope, but with more hair gel and coordinated outfits. Expect a series of “escalating obstacles” and “holiday hijinks,” which probably translates to missed flights, frantic car rides, and at least one heartfelt musical number about the importance of family.

The movie is produced by the Jonas Brothers themselves, alongside the creative minds behind Love, Simon, and This Is Us, Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger. This pairing suggests we’re in for a film that will try to tug at our heartstrings while simultaneously making us laugh. With Yu as director, there’s a glimmer of hope that this might be more than just a cheesy holiday cash grab. Maybe.

If you’re ready to indulge in this yuletide spectacle, “A Very Jonas Christmas Movie” will be streaming on Disney+ and Hulu starting Friday, November 14. It’s the perfect background noise for wrapping presents or avoiding awkward conversations with relatives. Will it become a timeless Christmas classic like Die Hard or Home Alone? Probably not.

Final Thoughts

If you’re ready to indulge in this yuletide spectacle, “A Very Jonas Christmas Movie” will be streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. So, grab your hot cocoa, suspend your disbelief, and get ready for a Christmas movie that could only come from the minds of the Jonas Brothers. The film is bound to be a little cheesy, a lot sentimental, and unapologetically extra—just like the holidays themselves.
