* StarDerailingRole: This film blemished most of its adult cast's careers in 2006 after becoming a massive flop during the Christmas holiday season.
** Creator/MatthewBroderick was a major {{teen idol}} back in TheEighties with ''Film/WarGames'' and ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'', before being taken more seriously as an actor after starring in the [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Civil War]] epic ''Film/{{Glory}}''. He had a thriving career for the next few decades, which was strong enough to survive duds like ''Film/Godzilla1998'' and ''Film/InspectorGadget1999''. However, ''Deck the Halls'' was the last film where he played the leading role. Broderick's screen career has mostly receded into supporting parts afterwards, and he since has focused on stage work to better success.
** Creator/DannyDeVito was in several duds in the 2000s after an impressive run of success in the past decades, but this film was the worst-received of them all. Fortunately, that same year he began starring as Frank Reynolds on the comedy series ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia''. While his film career remains wobbly, he remains a big star on TV.
