Sony has released the red band opening scene from its new Seth Rogen holiday movie "The Night Before" also starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie.

The opending scene from the film shows how the three friends met at Ethan's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) parents' funeral. In an effort to help him not feel sad, Isaac and Chris get Ethan really drunk. Thus begins their annual Christmas tradition of getting wasted and pulling Christmas pranks. The clip also shows the origin of their quest to discover the "greatest Christmas party ever" -- the Nutcracker Ball.

Tracy Morgan narrates the clip, which mixes the rhymes of the classic story "T'was the Night Before Christmas" with some very colorful and uncensored language.

"The Night Before" hits theaters November 20, 2015.
