Jack In Time For Christmas: release date, cast, plot, trailer and everything you need to know
Jack In Time For Christmas on Prime Video sees Jack Whitehall join up with Michael Bublé, Rebel Wilson and other big stars for a festive comedy.
Jack in Time for Christmas on Prime Video is part comedy, part all-star travelogue which is rather like the classic movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles but with a twist.
This one-off festive show sees comedian Jack Whitehall make a mad dash to get back home from the US in time for Christmas Day. With just four days to go before the big day, and his expertise in making gravy required back home, Jack embarks on a crazy journey involving planes, trains, huskies and bobsleighs to make it to the UK on time.
Luckily there are famous faces on hand, including King of Christmas crooner Michael Bublé, Jimmy Fallon, Rebel Wilson, American wrestler and actor Dave Bautista, Daisy May Cooper and Tom Davies to help (or hinder) him.
Despite his best efforts, will Jack be stuck spending the holidays in the States, and in the doghouse?

I'm a huge fan of television so I really have found the perfect job, as I've been writing about TV shows, films and interviewing major television, film and sports stars for over 25 years. I'm currently TV Content Director on What's On TV, TV Times, TV and Satellite Week magazines plus Whattowatch.com. I previously worked on Woman and Woman's Own in the 1990s. Outside of work I swim every morning, support Charlton Athletic football club and get nostalgic about TV shows Cagney & Lacey, I Claudius, Dallas and Tenko. I'm totally on top of everything good coming up too.
