🎄 Christmas with Madea (2025): Tyler Perry Brings the Holiday Chaos — and Heart — to the Big Screen

Tyler Perry is back — wig, attitude, and all — in Christmas with Madea (2025), a brand-new holiday comedy that promises to deliver equal parts laughter, warmth, and family drama. Scheduled to hit theaters and streaming platforms this December 20, 2025, the film stars Tyler Perry as the iconic Madea, alongside Ice Cube and Regina Hall in what’s already being called one of the most anticipated holiday comedies of the year.

🎬 A Madea Christmas Like Never Before

After a brief “retirement” from the role, Perry returns to his fan-favorite character for a story packed with holiday chaos and heartfelt moments. This time, Madea finds herself at the center of a family reunion gone hilariously wrong — when old grudges, new romances, and an unexpected snowstorm trap the entire clan under one roof for Christmas weekend.

Between her outspoken opinions, unfiltered humor, and no-nonsense wisdom, Madea becomes the unlikely peacemaker (and troublemaker) in a holiday story that’s as outrageous as it is heartwarming.

“Madea at Christmas is a whole different kind of spirit,” Perry teased in a recent interview. “It’s laughter, love, and a little bit of holy mayhem — just the way she likes it.”

❄️ Ice Cube and Regina Hall Join the Fun

Christmas with Madea also marks the first on-screen collaboration between Tyler Perry and Ice Cube, two comedic powerhouses with distinctly different styles. Ice Cube plays Calvin, a grumpy neighbor who’s determined to keep Christmas quiet — until Madea moves in next door and chaos ensues.

Meanwhile, Regina Hall stars as Denise, Madea’s ambitious niece trying to hold the family together while balancing her high-powered job and a secret that could turn the holidays upside down.

The combination of Perry’s wild humor, Cube’s deadpan delivery, and Hall’s sharp comedic timing promises to make this an unforgettable trio.

🎁 Family, Faith, and Festivities

At its core, Christmas with Madea blends the trademark Perry humor with a heartfelt message about forgiveness and togetherness — reminding audiences that even the most dysfunctional families can find peace when love (and a little eggnog) are involved.

Fans can expect Madea’s signature one-liners, over-the-top family feuds, a few unexpected celebrity cameos, and even a musical number or two.

According to early production reports, the film was shot on location in Atlanta, with lavish Christmas set pieces and a soundtrack featuring both gospel and classic R&B holiday tracks.

🎥 A Return to Form for Tyler Perry

After the success of A Madea Homecoming (2022), Perry hinted that the character might retire for good. But with fans demanding more, Christmas with Madea brings the beloved matriarch back in full force — and just in time for the holidays.

“This is the Madea story fans have been asking for,” said a Lionsgate spokesperson. “It’s outrageous, it’s emotional, and it captures the spirit of family at Christmas better than ever.”

🕯️ Christmas with Madea hits theaters and Netflix worldwide on December 20, 2025.

Get ready for laughter, love, and Madea’s version of holiday cheer — because this Christmas, nobody’s safe under the mistletoe.
