Apple TV+ has a brand new Christmas film, titled Spirited, out and this one is surely going to spread the seasonal joy and mirth. A modern retelling of the 1843 Charles Dickens novella A Christmas Carol, the film has an exciting star cast led by Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell.
The official synopsis for Spirited, according to Apple TV+, reads:
"Each Christmas Eve, the Ghost of Christmas Present selects one dark soul to be reformed by a visit from three spirits. But this season, he picked the wrong Scrooge."
It continues to say that Clint Briggs (Reynolds) will turn tables on the "ghostly host" until Present finds "himself re-examining his own past, present, and future." Told from the perspective of ghosts, the new film is a musical twist on the classic Christmas story.
Let's take a closer look at the cast of the Apple TV+ Christmas flick helmed by Sean Anders (Daddy's Home).
