Jonas Brothers return to Disney with new Christmas movie, channel “Love Actually” in promo
Christmas has arrived 11 months early.
To the Jonas Brothers, you are perfect.
Musician brothers Joe, Nick, and Kevin Jonas are returning to their Disney roots with a new holiday movie, premiering during the 2025 holiday season on Disney+. Billed as a comedy, the flick's current working title is Jonas Brothers Christmas Movie and will follow the trio as they face a series of escalating obstacles as they struggle to make it from London to New York in time to spend Christmas with family.

The Jonas Brothers will produce the feature alongside Adam Fishbach, Spencer Berman, Scott Morgan, and writers Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger. Jessica Yu (Quiz Lady, Only Murders in the Building) will direct, and Grammy-nominated writer and executive music producer Justin Tranter — who has worked with fellow Disney alums Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, among other pop stars — will pen original songs for the feature.

The brothers announced the festive feature in a promo that pays homage to holiday classic Love Actually, mirroring Andrew Lincoln's character and his chaotic cue cards as he confesses his love to his best friend's wife (Keira Knightley).
Joe begins the clip with, "Hi, we're the Jonas Brothers—", before brother Nick cuts him off. "No, don't say it! The whole point is you don't say— you let them read." Oops, OK. Take two. With an orchestral version of "Silent Night" playing in the background, the brothers, who write that they are "sorry to bother you," announce that they're making a new Christmas movie.

The Jonas Brothers' relationship with Disney began when they signed with the company's Hollywood Records in 2007, releasing hits such as a cover of Busted's "Year 3000," "Hold On," and "S.O.S." They cameoed on Cyrus' Disney Channel sitcom Hannah Montana before going on to headline the 2008 Disney Channel original movie Camp Rock alongside Demi Lovato, which led to their short-lived 2009 sitcom Jonas on the network. They parted ways with Hollywood Records in 2012.
The band split the following year but staged a reunion in 2019, releasing the single "Sucker" and launching a tour soon after. The brothers recently dropped a new track, "Slow Motion," with Marshmello last week.
