Christmas at the Hoppenstedts (1978)

Classic christmas special about the dysfunctional Hoppenstedt family attempts to prepare for the holiday, only to be thwarted by absurdity at every turn. From a chaotic Christmas tree setup to a disastrous holiday dinner, Loriot brilliantly satirizes the pressures and absurdities of family life and Christmas traditions. With deadpan humor and exaggerated situations, Weihnachten bei den Hoppenstedts is a classic holiday comedy that skewers the holiday hustle while capturing the chaos and charm of family gatherings.

Unfortunately the movie Christmas at the Hoppenstedts is not yet available on HBO Max.
