The video lasts just 59 seconds and in it, you can see Kevin Spacey sat by the fireplace, maliciously staring at the camera.
‘You didn’t really think I was gonna miss the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas, did you?’ asks the actor, adopting the Southern accent of his former House of Cards character, Frank Underwood.

‘It’s been a pretty good year, and I’m grateful to have my health back. And in light of that, I’ve made some changes in my life and I’d like to invite you to join me,’ he continues mysteriously.
