Spirited provides a fresh take on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, presenting Christmas Eve through the eyes of the ghosts. The film revolves around a media consultant named Clint Briggs, whose soul seems unreformable. The Ghost of Christmas Present aka Will Ferrel makes him his target on the verge of his retirement from the spirit world. Though the ghost tries hard to change Briggs, things turn around for him instead.

What adventure this brings for the duo of naughty human and determined ghost fans will soon see in theatres. The film will arrive in theatres on November 24 in the US and December 1 in Canada. However, this re-release has limited screening time for people who love Christmas stories.
