John makes a Christmas miracle happen by bringing his one and only friend to life, his teddy bear. The two grow up together and John must then choose to stay with his girlfriend or keep his friendship with his crude and extremely inappropriate teddy bear, Ted (2012).

John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) is a perfectly normal Boston native whose childhood wish for his teddy bear to come to life comes true. The bear, Ted (2012) (voiced by Seth MacFarlane), remains his best friend from the age of 8 into his adulthood. Twenty-seven years later, conflict emerges when Ted (2012) irresponsible and vulgar slacker lifestyle comes in the way of John's attempt to embrace adulthood and his love-interest Lori (Mila Kunis). While not an exact reproduction of the toy, the film's timeline coincides with the introduction of Teddy Ruxpin, the talking teddy bear.

 The film was set for a July 13, 2012, release in North America, but was pushed up to June 29 after the delay of G.I. Joe: Retaliation. The film is due to be released in the United Kingdom on August 1, 2012 and in Australia on July 5, 2012.
