The Holiday Hitman follows Hank Carter, a highly skilled assassin with one last chance to save his marriage. Determined to give his family a perfect Christmas at a luxurious lake mansion, Hank tries to hide his dangerous profession from them. Then a bounty lands on his head, and waves of holiday-themed hitmen descend on the house. Hank has to fend them off with every Christmas decoration in sight while keeping his family completely in the dark.
Charley McDougall wrote the screenplay with Stryker. The cast also includes Ricky Norwood, Florence Hall, Eloise Lovell Anderson, Mark Fleischmann, Vas Blackwood, Georgia Curtis, and Tim Cullingworth-Hudson, with Adam Korson and Julio Cesar Cedillo. Stryker, Sagar, McDougall, and Jamie McLeod-Ross produce, and the film runs 98 minutes.
With its mix of seasonal mayhem and improvised-weapon carnage, the film slots in alongside the growing pile of holiday-set genre offerings arriving ahead of December. Interviews with Stryker and several cast members are available through publicist Susan Engel.
