"A Clüsterfünke Christmas" is a comedic parody of Hallmark Christmas movies, with a talented ensemble cast of comic actors and SNL alums. The film embraces the common elements of Hallmark movies while adding ridiculous and unexpected twists, highlighting the writers' appreciation for the genre. Vella Lovell, Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, and Cheyenne Jackson deliver standout performances in their respective roles, bringing humor and charm to their characters.

A Clüsterfünke Christmas is a Comedy Central TV movie filled with a cast of comic actors and SNL alums. A sharp parody of Christmas-themed Hallmark movies, A Clüsterfünke Christmas is a laugh-out-loud comedy with a surprising heart that is sometimes more SNL sketch than feature-length film, but the writing by Rachel Dratch and Ana Gasteyer is funny and smart enough to cover up any plot issues. In the film, a go-getter real estate developer goes to a small town in Maine to look into a new property.

The made-for-tv movie was a programming staple for the broadcast networks in the 1970s and 1980s. While it fell out of favor in the 1990s and was even dropped as an Emmy Awards category for three years beginning in 2011, it has been on an upswing as of late. This year, 48 telefilms are in contention for the five nominations that will be revealed on July 12; last year, only 41 TV movies were submitted.

All 22,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until June 27 to cast their 2022 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for their favorite TV movies. In the past, voters were limited in the number of telefilms that they could put forth. In 2017, that cap (which was usually 10 per category) was lifted. And, as opposed to the Oscars, voters for the Emmys do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally.

Comedy Central announced its annual 31-day holiday extravaganza, featuring two new movies: “A Clüsterfünke Christmas,” debuting Dec. 4, and “Hot Mess Holiday,” premiering Dec. 11.

Both of these movies will air at 7 p.m. The network will announce additional titles for its”31 Days of Going Home for the Holidays” programming slate at a later date.

“A Clüsterfünke Christmas” stars Vella Lovell, Cheyenne Jackson, Ryan McPartlin, Nils Hognestad, Rachel Dratch and Ana Gasteyer and follows the story of real estate executive Holly who heads to a small town to buy the quaint Clüsterfünke Inn and transform it into a resort. While meeting the owners, Holly finds herself distracted by their handsome nephew Frank. It is a parody of more traditional holiday rom-coms.

Anna Dokoza directs “A Clüsterfünke Christmas,” which was written by Dratch and Gasteyer, who also executive produce alongside Meghan Hooper, Trevor Rose, Josh Van Houdt, Danielle von Zerneck, Jamie Goehring and Shawn Williamson.

Voice actor Nils Hognestad his listed Devil May Cry 5 on his resume, launching a tidal wave of speculation and rumor as to what Capcom has in store for fans of the beloved series. Hodnestad is listed as the lead role, meaning that he will be replacing Tim Phillipps as the voice of Dante.

Ninja Theory, the developer behind 2013’s reboot DmC: Devil May Cry, stated that they were not involved in the making of a sequel years ago. With no word from Capcom, some were worried about the potential future of the series, but Hognestad’s resume seems to indicate not only that the IP still lives, but that Capcom intends on a return to form for DmC. The listed title of Devil May Cry 5 rather than DmC 2 would also seem to imply that it will be a sequel to the original series instead of the reboot.
