The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday - What we know from the trailer

The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday trailer was released on November 1, 2023, and generated a lot of excitement among fans for the upcoming holiday season. The trailer features the usual Bad Guys, Mr. Wolf (Michael Godere), Mr. Shark (Ezekiel Ajeigbe), Mr. Piranha (Raul Ceballos), Ms. Tarantula (Mallory Low), and Mr. Snake ( Chris Diamantopoulos) as the main characters in the trailer.

From what the trailer suggests, the Bad Guys are plotting to rob a bank, but due to the cancellation of Christmas (the reason will be unfolded in the film itself), their plans will have to take a detour. The official synopsis of the upcoming film reads:

"In this new adventure set before the events of the feature, there’s nothing the Bad Guys love more than Christmas morning — because while everyone is home opening presents, it’s the perfect time to execute their city-wide holiday heist. But when Christmas is unexpectedly cancelled, the Bad Guys must do the unthinkable: reignite the city’s holiday spirit by giving instead of taking."
