Robin Williams will be back to bring the laughs this Christmas.

The late actor stars alongside Joel McHale and Lauren Graham in the recently released trailer for the upcoming holiday season comedy A Merry Friggin' Christmas.

The flick stars McHale as a man named Boyd Mitchler who, along with his wife and kids, must spend Christmas with his estranged family of misfits. "Upon realizing that he left all his son's gifts at home, he hits the road with his dad in an attempt to make the 8-hour round trip before sunrise," according to the film's IMDb site.

In the trailer, Williams and McHale get into all kinds of hilarious hijinks. At one point, Williams has to blast McHale with a fire extinguisher after he catches on fire and nearly goes up in flames.

Then during their road trip, they drive their truck into a man dressed as Santa Claus! Good thing the unconscious Santa wakes up before they decide how to dispose of the body.

A Merry Friggin' Christmas also stars Oliver Platt, Clarke Duke, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Candice Bergen. The film hits theaters in November. Watch the trailer for yourself.

A Merry Friggin' Christmas is one of several movies that will hit theaters after Williams' tragic death back in August. He'll also co-star in the upcoming Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb.
