Who is in it, and what the job is
Morgan Bradley plays Vera Vexley, a puzzle editor who also consults for the police. She spends Christmas with the wealthy Sterling family. A body is found on Christmas morning. That premise is the one on the public film record. Vivica A. Fox plays Cynthia Marshall. Rob Mayes plays Troy Sterling. Caryn Richman plays Ellen Sterling. Randy Jay Burrell plays Michael Sterling. Jason-Shane Scott plays Darren Caldwell. Writers credited alongside the director are Peter Sullivan and Jeffrey Schenck. Country and language: United States, English. I do not have a content rating I am willing to print, so that line stays blank.
When it aired, and where a listing exists
The US date I am using is 7 Dec 2025 on UPtv. IMDb's release information also lists 15 Nov 2025 for Canada. Those are two dates for two countries, not a conflict I need to collapse. Public listings checked on 14 Nov 2026 include UPtv, Prime Video, Peacock and Apple TV. These are listing links, not a claim that a subscription or rental is available in every country. The runtime is 85 minutes on Plex and Prime Video, while Apple TV displays 90 minutes; these values stay separate.

The 2022 and 2014 films that lack the word Murder are on the movie table. Neither stars Vera Vexley.
Questions
How long is A Christmas Murder Mystery?
Plex and Prime Video list 85 minutes. Apple TV lists 90 minutes. The provider listings disagree, so both are shown.
Is this the same as A Christmas Mystery on HBO Max?
No. That is the 2022 family film about stolen jingle bells. This 2025 film is the UPtv puzzle-editor story.
