Fox has released a new trailer for A Christmas Story Live!, offering a first glimpse of the lovable Parker family. With Maya Rudolph as Mrs. Parker, Chris Diamantopoulos as the Old Man, and Andy Walken as Ralphie, the new short features the foursome as they prepare for a family photo — complete with the Old Man's favorite prop.

The three-hour live television event is inspired by the holiday classic feature A Christmas Story and Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, and Joseph Robinette's Tony Award-nominated Broadway production A Christmas Story: The Musical. Set to air on December 17, it is directed and executive produced by Scott Ellis. Marc Platt and Adam Siegel will executive-produce, with Jonathan Tolins and Robert Cary serving as coexecutive producers and writers.
