That Christmas Release Date: When Is It Coming Out?
That Christmas, an upcoming animated Christmas film directed by Simon Otto and based on a book series by Richard Curtis, is slated to premiere sometime in 2024. The film, which encapsulates a collection of interconnected stories focusing on loneliness and love, will feature the voice cast of Brian Cox, Fiona Shaw, and Bill Nighy.
In November 2019, a film adaptation of Curtis’s books went into development at Locksmith Animation under the title The Empty Stocking. Fox and Warner Bros. Pictures were attached to the project as distributors at different points in time before Netflix secured the rights in June 2022. Locksmith revealed Simon Otto’s involvement in the project as director in June 2021. The company also announced at the time that the upcoming film has a new title, That Christmas.
While no official release date has been announced yet, it is speculated that That Christmas will likely be released in mid to late 2024. This estimation is based on the current timeline of the project and the fact that it is already late April. Netflix, which has the distribution rights to the film, will announce the exact release date in due course.
The official synopsis for That Christmas reads: A student of cinema, Tamal has written on a wide range of topics over the years — from entertainment to literature to pop culture. At ComingSoon, he is an SEO Contributing Writer developing content on films, TV, and anime.
