San Antonio native Brian Villalobos stars in Switched Up Christmas movie

San Antonio native Brian Villalobos is making waves in the film industry once again, this time in a body-swapping holiday comedy called Switched Up Christmas. Known for his previous work in The Accidental Texan and alongside big names like Thomas Haden Church and Jesse Plemons, Villalobos is thrilled to tackle a new genre that brings a touch of magic to the festive season.

In Switched Up Christmas, Villalobos steps into the shoes of Joe Nelson, a talent agent and father trying to navigate a chaotic family holiday. When a magical twist causes Joe and his wife to swap bodies with their kids, chaos ensues, and the real spirit of Christmas is put to the test.

For Villalobos, this project was a dream come true. Reflecting on his childhood love for body-swapping films like “Big” and “Freaky Friday,” Villalobos saw Switched Up Christmas as a chance to create something his own kids could enjoy. And it seems they did – his daughter even declared it her new favorite movie!

Growing up, Villalobos had a soft spot for unconventional Christmas films like “Gremlins” and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.” So, it’s no surprise that Switched Up Christmas, with its nostalgic ’90s vibes and quirky humor, felt right at home for him. While newer holiday rom-coms are gaining popularity, he appreciates the classic charm and humor of this timeless genre.

When asked about his favorite ’80s body-swapping movies, Villalobos confessed his love for “18 Again!” starring George Burns. Although Krampus might not be making an appearance in Switched Up Christmas (maybe in the sequel!), Villalobos joked about the possibility of a Krampus-themed Christmas movie in the future.

You can catch Brian Villalobos in Switched Up Christmas, available now on Amazon Prime. It’s a heartwarming and hilarious take on the holiday season that’s sure to bring a smile to your face. Whether you’re a fan of classic Christmas comedies or looking for a fresh twist on the genre, this film has something for everyone. Don’t miss out on the fun – gather your family, grab some popcorn, and get ready for a festive film experience unlike any other.
