Dan’s assassin days are over, or so he thinks. The sequel drops him into a chaotic London Christmas where “family vacation” meets “international crosshairs.”
Here’s what went down
Read this especially if you’re into action-comedy sequels, holiday streaming picks, or dad-with-a-secret past plots.
What Just Happened
The Family Plan 2 has officially launched on Prime Video, continuing the story of Dan, a former assassin turned suburban dad.
This time, he just wants a quiet Christmas with his kids, but a surprise twist in his daughter’s plans drags the whole family into danger.
Their “normal” holiday trip escalates into a high-stakes mission, with bigger set pieces, more chaos, and London as the backdrop.
The Premise
Dan is trying to fully leave his violent past behind and lean into being a present, normal dad.
His daughter, however, has her own secret plans that collide with his buried history.
To fix things (and protect his kids), Dan books a family trip to London.
Once there, the family lands squarely in the sights of an unexpected enemy who hasn’t forgotten who Dan used to be.
Cue: car chases, close calls, awkward family bonding, and a lot of lies being exposed.
What’s Different This Time
The setting shifts from suburban life to London at Christmas, giving the sequel a cinematic, international feel while raising the stakes around Dan’s kids’ safety and trust.
The story explores the tension between his past as an assassin and present as a dad, with family-centered humor and a villain connected to his former life.
Why It Works as Holiday Content
This isn’t a cozy holiday movie, it’s packed with explosions, sarcasm, and chase scenes, while still hitting emotional beats like family, honesty, and second chances.
The clash between festive traditions and Dan’s violent past creates tension and comedy, with London’s Christmas lights and landmarks adding visual appeal, making it perfect for group viewing.
The Bottom Line
The Family Plan 2 is basically:
Die Hard–lite meets Dad Jokes, set on a London Christmas getaway that goes very wrong.
If you want something louder and funnier than a Hallmark movie, but still anchored in family themes, this is an easy add to your holiday watchlist.
