Zachary Levi's upcoming holiday film, Teddy's Christmas, has announced its official release date in the United States, as per Deadline.

Instantly forming a deep connection with the plush toy, Mariann sets her heart on winning him. However, when someone else triumphs in claiming the bear, Teddy and his newfound hedgehog friend, Bolla, embark on a journey to reunite with Mariann and discover the true value of family and friendship.
