Billy Madison: Christmas Re-Education (2025)
Adam Sandler, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, Darren McGavin
School was a disaster. Adulthood wasn’t much better. But Christmas school? That’s a full-blown holiday catastrophe waiting to happen — and nobody brings joyous chaos quite like Billy Madison. Billy Madison: Christmas Re-Education cranks up the festive insanity as Billy returns to the classroom for a holiday challenge that makes his original academic journey look like a calm walk in the snow.
Billy Madison (Adam Sandler) bursts back onto the scene with his signature mix of childlike innocence and barely-contained chaos, decked out in a Christmas sweater so loud it could double as a holiday alarm system. After a board of skeptical executives questions his readiness to run the family company, Billy agrees to one last test: complete a Winter Accelerated Curriculum, an all-new holiday crash course featuring 12 Christmas-themed grades squeezed into a single month. Each grade comes with its own bizarre traditions, weird winter assignments, and festive hazards — most of which Billy somehow manages to turn into disasters with impressive speed.
Veronica Vaughn (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras) returns as the ever-patient, ever-stylish educator trying her absolute hardest to guide Billy through the peppermint-scented madness. Whether she’s stopping him from starting a giant snowball war, helping him rebuild a gingerbread village he accidentally stepped on, or trying to prevent him from riding a mechanical reindeer that was not designed for adults, Veronica’s holiday spirit is put to the ultimate test. Still, her faith in Billy never wavers — even when his attention span melts faster than a snowman in July.
But Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a villainous scheme wrapped in pretty paper, and Eric Gordon is more than happy to oblige. Determined to sabotage Billy once and for all, Eric launches a new series of underhanded attacks: rigged candy-cane exams, exploding ornaments, fake Santa spies, and a booby-trapped Christmas tree that sends Billy flying into an entire choir of carolers. Every time Billy makes progress, Eric finds a new way to send him sliding down the snowy slope of failure.
With holiday hijinks, heartfelt moments, over-the-top gags, and Adam Sandler’s iconic comedic chaos, Christmas Re-Education is a spirited blizzard of laughter and warmth. It leans gleefully into festive insanity — from magical mishaps at the school’s “North Pole Science Fair” to a climactic showdown at the annual Christmas pageant where Billy must prove, once and for all, that he’s grown into the man his father always hoped he’d be.
It’s cozy, it’s crazy, it’s Christmas — Billy Madison style.
Because this holiday season, Billy is about to discover a hilarious universal truth:
Growing up is tough…
but growing up during Christmas is a gift-wrapped comedy disaster.
