Happy Christmas is a 2014 American independent dramedy film, written, produced and directed by Joe Swanberg.

[3][4] It was released on June 26, 2014 through VOD, prior to a limited theatrical run in the United States, which began on July 25, 2014.

[5] Irresponsible twenty-something Jenny (Anna Kendrick) arrives in Chicago to stay with her older brother Jeff (Joe Swanberg), a young filmmaker living a peaceful existence with his novelist wife Kelly (Melanie Lynskey) and their two-year-old son.

Jenny's arrival shakes up their quiet domesticity as she and Carson (Lena Dunham), her old friend from high school, instigate an evolution in Kelly's personal life and literary career.

The website's critics consensus reads: "Intelligent, well-acted, and satisfyingly low-key, Happy Christmas marks another step in prolific filmmaker Joe Swanberg's creative evolution".
