A cynical, self-centred television executive is definitely not in the festive spirit, even as he pushes to get his station's production of A Christmas Carol ready for broadcast on Christmas Eve. The night before the show, Frank Cross (Bill Murray) is warned that he'll be visited by three ghosts, who show up throughout Christmas Eve to teach Frank some serious lessons about how he's living his life. Of course, this is yet another film inspired by A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, but a modernised version.
