Sex and the City star Kristin Davis is the latest person to join the cast of the new family comedy Deck the Halls.

The film centres upon two neighbours who start feuding over excessive use of Christmas lights.

The Hollywood Reporter states that Davis will play the on-screen wife of Matthew Broderick, who in real life is married to Davis' Sex and the City co-star Sarah Jessica Parker.

Deck the Halls will also feature Danny DeVito in a starring role, as well as Arrested Development actress Alia Shawkat.
