Storyline:

Six years have elapsed since Guantanamo Bay, leaving Harold and Kumar estranged from one another with very different families, friends and lives. But when Kumar arrives on Harold’s doorstep during the holiday season with a mysterious package in hand, he inadvertently burns down Harold’s father-in-law’s beloved Christmas tree. To fix the problem, Harold and Kumar embark on a mission through New York City to find the perfect Christmas tree, once again stumbling into trouble at every single turn.

About A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas Movie:

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is an American buddy stoner Christmas comedy film directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson. It is the third installment in the Harold & Kumar franchise, following Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008). The film stars John Cho as Harold Lee and Kal Penn as Kumar Patel, with Neil Patrick Harris reprising his role as himself.

Set seven years after the duo’s last adventure, the film depicts the estrangement between Harold and Kumar, who have taken very different paths in life. Harold has become a successful businessman on Wall Street and is married to Maria (played by Daniella Alonso), while Kumar remains in his messy apartment after being kicked out of medical school due to a failed drug test. The holiday season brings them back together when Kumar visits Harold to deliver a mysterious package addressed to him.

Principal photography began in June 2010, with filming locations including Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York City. The film was released theatrically on November 4, 2011, by Warner Bros. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its humor and the chemistry between the leads, although some noted that it relied heavily on raunchy comedy tropes.

The marketing campaign for A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas utilized guerilla tactics to promote its 3D elements, which were new for the franchise. The film grossed approximately $36 million worldwide against a budget of $19 million, making it a modest success.

Overall, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas combines holiday cheer with the franchise’s signature stoner humor, making it a unique addition to the Christmas movie genre.
