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.
