It is the most wonderful time of the year, a default cue for viewers to cozy up on old traditions, from festive deck-ups to turkey dinners. But for certain fans, the festive season is a welcome mat for all things Christmassy and new. As the lights twinkle and the carols play, the holiday season beckons a fresh crop of cinematic delights. Jason Bateman’s new holiday flick Carry-On has answered the call, bursting onto the scene with a festive fervor that has left audiences and critics alike with an anticipative dose of seasonal spirit.

Jason Bateman began his showbiz career as a child actor, but over the four decades fans enjoyed watching him on-screen, he barely missed a beat. Some stars fizzle out with time as relevance becomes a ghost of the past. However, actors like Bateman rewrite those rules with resistance and resilience, maintaining momentum like a game-changing cinematic curveball. As the holiday spirits kick in full swing, his fresh festive entry, Carry-On, debuts on Rotten Tomatoes with a whopping 92% score, affirming his fan favoritism across all seasons.

Carry-On is an upcoming action-thriller directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and written by T.J. Fixman. It stars Jason Bateman, Taron Egerton, Sofia Carson, and Danielle Deadwyler. This festive frenzy of action follows a TSA officer coerced into compromising airport security on Christmas Day, allowing a hazardous package to slip onto a flight, setting the stage for a high-stakes suspense showdown.
