Ferrell plays the Ghost of Christmas Present in the movie, while Reynolds plays Clint Briggs, a reimagined version of Ebenezer Scrooge.

"Clint Briggs (Reynolds) turns the tables on his ghostly host until Present finds himself reexamining his own past, present and future," the film synopsis says. "For the first time, ‘A Christmas Carol’ is told from the perspective of the ghosts in this hilarious musical twist on the classic Dickens tale."
