'Tis the Season – A Christmas Comedy

In this Austrian Christmas comedy (2025), cabaret artist Gery Seidl plays construction manager Andi, whose life spirals out of control between professional overload and family Christmas preparations. With an impatient boss and Chinese clients breathing down his neck, he desperately tries to give his wife Steffi and his bonus daughter Alma a perfect holiday – but between missing building materials, a missing Christmas tree, and the chaos his colleague Bertl causes, it turns into a turbulent adventure.

Director Claudia Jüptner-Jonstorff blends situational comedy with touching moments about family, loss, and togetherness in hectic times. A star ensemble featuring Marlene Morreis, Thomas Mraz, and Adele Neuhauser delivers laughs and emotional depth. The film, with its Austrian charm, shows that Christmas might just work out when nothing goes according to plan – and how beauty can emerge from failure.
