Director: Luke Cormican
Snow, sabotage, and a stolen video-game console collide when Greg Heffley gets snowed in with his family for the holidays in Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever.
What is Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever about?
Greg Heffley wants exactly one thing under the tree this year: a brand-new gaming console. His odds look decent until a backyard snowman-building session with best friend Rowley Jefferson goes sideways and a neighborhood snowplow ends up damaged. Convinced his holiday is ruined before it starts, Greg spirals into schemes to cover his tracks and stay on the nice list. Things only get tighter when a blizzard traps the entire Heffley household indoors together — moody teenage brother Rodrick included, plus little Manny stirring up trouble at every turn. What follows is a cramped, chaotic stretch of sibling standoffs, holiday chores nobody wants, and Greg's increasingly elaborate attempts to fix a mess of his own making before Christmas morning arrives.
Cast & crew
Wesley Kimmel voices Greg in this animated entry, with Erica Cerra and Chris Diamantopoulos rounding out the Heffley parents, Hunter Dillon as Rodrick, and Gracen Newton as the ever-scheming Manny. Christian Convery brings Rowley's earnest, easily-excitable energy, while comedian Gabriel Iglesias joins the voice cast in a supporting role that adds an extra dose of holiday chaos to the family's snowed-in predicament.
Context & significance
This is one of several animated features built from Jeff Kinney's long-running Wimpy Kid book series, following the same wry, diary-page visual style that has defined the franchise's screen adaptations. Director Luke Cormican keeps the pacing brisk and the runtime short, leaning on sight gags and Greg's inner monologue rather than sprawling subplots. Released in 2023 as a Canada–US co-production, it sits comfortably as a lower-key, family-sized holiday entry rather than a big theatrical event, aimed squarely at viewers who already know the Heffley household's rhythms.
