Based on the wildly relatable chaos of family life at Christmas, A Kick in the Baubles is a sharp comedy packed with laugh‑out‑loud moments and touching domestic drama. It's a humorous yet heartfelt look at what can go spectacularly wrong when loved ones gather for the holidays.
In the Bailey household, another supposedly peaceful Christmas is about to begin — but chestnuts aren’t roasting on an open fire, and a Silent Night feels a very long way off. Frank would much rather avoid Christmas altogether, especially with snobbish in‑laws arriving bearing a single bottle of wine and a host of well‑meaning but larger‑than‑life neighbours in tow. As the drink flows and tensions rise, chaos quickly descends on the living room. Just when the festive anarchy seems unstoppable, Frank and Jean’s estranged daughter Milly appears, tugging at heartstrings and pulling the family toward a surprising moment of warmth and reconciliation.
A Kick in the Baubles is a perfect choice for those seeking a family‑centric comedy with strong ensemble roles — especially for groups looking to showcase a mix of comic timing, character interplay, and seasonal spirit.
