The Ukrainian film industry continues to expand the genre palette of holiday cinema: the official trailer for the Christmas family comedy 'Rodynne Svyato' has been released, with theatrical screenings scheduled for December 31, 2026. The film was produced by MO FILMS, and distribution in Ukraine is handled by Kinomania Film Distribution. The movie promises to become one of the main winter releases of the season and, according to the creators' vision, could turn into a new Christmas tradition for Ukrainian audiences.

### Plot: A Family That Remained Silent for Years

At the center of the story is former serviceman Taras Hrynchenko, who is used to spending the holidays alone. His children have not spoken to their father or each other for many years: everyone has their own life and reasons to stay away from the family circle. However, on the eve of Christmas, an unexpected event occurs that brings all the Hrynchenkos under one roof. Two brothers who cannot stand each other, Taras's ex-wife and current girlfriend, other relatives with their secrets, and a first love that unexpectedly makes itself known all gather for the joint celebration. The meeting is accompanied by arguments, awkward conversations, and memories of old grievances, but gradually the characters begin to hear each other and realize that family ties can be stronger than years of conflict.

### Cast and Comedy Line

The main roles in the film were performed by Viktor Zhdanov, Andrii Isaenko, Vitalii Saliy, and Lesia Samaieva. The film also stars Vitalii Kozlovsky and comedian Ivan Kukharchuk, who created a separate comedy line by playing an artist and his manager. Among the guest stars are People's Artists of Ukraine Olha Sumska and Vitalii Borysiuk. This combination of actors from different generations and genre registers should provide the film with a wide audience reach: from fans of dramatic cinema to the audience accustomed to entertainment formats.

### Directing and Creative Vision

Denys Tarasov, known for the film 'BozheVilni', became the director of 'Rodynne Svyato'. This is his first work in the genre of family Christmas comedy. According to the director, despite the humorous form, the film raises the important topic of relationships between loved ones. 'Before us is a family where everyone loves each other, but has not spoken for years due to old grievances. And I think this is a very recognizable story,' Tarasov said. He also noted that he wanted to create a comedy that would make viewers want to call their relatives after watching it.

### Ukrainian Traditions on the Big Screen

An important element of the film will be Ukrainian Christmas traditions: the festive table, didukh, and other customs familiar to many since childhood. Screenwriter and producer Anna Halytska emphasizes that the creators wanted to show stories 'about us, with our humor, our families, and our sense of home.' 'We made it better because we made it closer to home,' she noted, expressing hope that the film will become a new Christmas tradition for Ukrainians. The film's producers also include Maksym Movchan, Taras Bosak, and Oleksandr Halytsky.

### Premiering and Expectations

The premiere of 'Rodynne Svyato' is scheduled for December 31, 2026 — on the eve of New Year and Christmas, which logically matches the film's theme. Distributor Kinomania Film Distribution is already preparing the theatrical campaign. For the Ukrainian film market, where Christmas comedies remain a niche genre, a release of this scale with the participation of People's Artists and popular performers can set a new standard for holiday cinema and form a stable viewer demand for family stories during the winter season.
