A Madea Christmas is a 2011 American stage play created, produced, written, and directed by Tyler Perry.
It stars Tyler Perry as Mabel "Madea" Simmons and Cassi Davis as Aunt Bam.
The members of the Mansell family—who can be identified without fear of stereotyping as mean mother Lillian, pompous father John, restless daughter China, and virginal son Japan —prepare for the holiday feast with the help of their saintly maid Margaret and their mouthy chef Hattie.
Eager to impress China's super-rich beau/presumed fiancé Bobby, Lilian forces Margaret to work on Christmas instead of celebrating with her family.
So China secretly invites the whole disreputable brood: Madea, Aunt Bam, and grown children Lucy, George, and Eric.
