Movierilz | Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: The Getaway
Based on the books by Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: The Getaway is a 2026 holiday animated comedy about Greg Heffley and his family who escape to a different location from their usual Christmas surroundings, a tropical island resort.
Instead of dealing with snow and cold weather, the Heffleys make an eleventh hour decision and escape to a more tropical, all-inclusive location.
At first, Greg is completely onboard with this idea. No more stressful, cold, and long-drawn-out holidays at home? Sign him up.
Of course, things don't exactly go according to plan.
Matt Danner directs and Jeff Kinney produces and writes the screenplay for Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: The Getaway, which is slated to release on Disney+ on December 4, 2026.
The synopsis states the family discovers paradise is not as perfect as expected. (Wimpy Kid)

They fit into the book's familiar problems.
Greg is a character who always thinks he has a good plan, and believes he understands how things are going to turn out, only to find that things can go wrong in a number of unexpected ways.
This can happen in a variety of environments, school hallways, and Greg's neighborhood.
It can happen in a resort and even in paradise.
Greg has to contend with a variety of unpredictable and challenging activities.
The Story is Jeff Kinney's 12th Book
Jeff Kinney's 12th book was made into an animation, The Getaway.
The book was published in 2017 and also has the Heffley family taking a holiday to a tropical resort.
The 2026 film adaption continues Disney's recent animated Wimpy Kid films' visual style and presents the same basic premise. (People.com)
A special Disney+ tie-in edition of the book will be released on November 24 and will be available prior to the movie. (Wimpy Kid)
For the target audience searching for the movie using terms like "movie rulez7", explaining the relation to the book is important, as this is not a new standalone story.
This is an adaptation of a previously published book in an ongoing series and, therefore, of a previously published and established story.
Matt Danner is Back
Danner also directed the previous Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, The Last Straw, and has now directed 2 films in this series. (People.com)
Jeff Kinney writes and produces the film.
This ensures that the person who created the characters has the final say on interpreting and creating the movie series based on the books.
20th Century Animation is a producing studio, and the film is exclusively available to stream on Disney+. (Movie Insider)
The Getaway is the fifth Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie.
The movie carries a PG rating, for mild rude humor, like the previous movies in the series.
The run began with Diary of a Wimpy Kid in 2021, Rodrick Rules in 2022, and Christmas: Cabin Fever in 2023. It will continue with The Last Straw in 2025.
Therefore, the release of The Getaway means that there are now two Christmas-themed Wimpy Kid movies: Cabin Fever, and now, The Getaway.
There are quite a few differences between the two movies.
Cabin Fever depicts the Heffleys stuck at home during some horrible winter weather.
The Getaway sends the Heffleys off to a nice, warm, relaxing climate.
It shows that changing environments doesn't always change Greg's problems.
The Getaway premieres on December 4, 2023.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway will have its theatrical release on December 4, 2026.
