Christmas has come early for the Jonas Brothers!
On Friday, Sept. 5, Disney+ dropped its first teaser trailer for A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, which follows Nick, Kevin and Joe Jonas as themselves as they face a series of obstacles in their attempt to make it back to New York from London in order to spend Christmas with their families.
“Are you boys sure you’re OK with getting to the plane tomorrow without me?” Randall Park, seemingly playing a fictional band manager, asks the brothers in the trailer as they wrap up a big concert in Europe. “I can stay another night just to make sure you get home okay.”
“It’s one night, Brad, we’ll be fine,” Nick replies.

As predicted, the boys are not fine on their journey home. The teaser sees their car breaking down in the snowy woods as they try to board a private jet, hide behind royal guards — and even are (nearly) attacked by a pack of hungry wolves in the middle of a forest.
“I’m sorry we never got to hear you sing, Kevin!” Joe yells as they face certain death. “I’m sure your voice is pretty okay.”
“Thank you!” Kevin screams back.
(In real life, Kevin did in fact get to sing solo recently at the brothers’ show in Boston.)
According to Entertainment Weekly, the cast of the Disney film is set to be star-studded. In addition to Park, the brothers will be joined by Billie Lourd, Laverne Cox, KJ Apa, Chloe Bennet, Andrew Barth Feldman and Andrea Martin.
One of the biggest additions to the cast is Modern Family alum Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who stars as Santa!
The film is also set to feature “few special cameos from the Jonas family,” per EW. Kenny G and musician Justin Tranter will play themselves, and Tranter also created original music for the movie.
The band first announced the forthcoming Christmas movie via Good Morning America in January, sharing a clip on X that featured a riff that famous Love Actually cue card scene and was then posted by the band and Disney+ on social media.
After introducing themselves, the following cards reveal: “Sorry to bother you … but we’re making a Christmas movie.”

The title was announced at JONASCON at American Dream in New Jersey in March, and PEOPLE previously shared a first look at the film.
“I think Disney was just such a great partner to put the full force of the holiday magic behind this movie,” Joe, 36, told PEOPLE exclusively at JONASCON.

“One of the things that we’re really excited about, and that was so appealing to us about doing this project, … is that there’s a full album that’s coming along with the film that has some holiday music and some other music,” added Nick, 32.
The movie, which was shot in Toronto, will also feature its fair share of fun cameos.
“The cameos in this film — it’s wild,” Joe teases of the movie, which is directed by Jessica Yu. “There’s so many people a part of this that we’ve yet to announce. The list goes on. And hopefully we’ll be able to keep some of it a secret up until the release, I couldn’t believe it’s been so quiet.”
A Very Jonas Christmas Movie premieres Nov. 14 on Disney+.
