A warm, comedic holiday romance about a separated family navigating Christmas traditions and unexpected feelings amid divorce and new relationships.

Recently separated, Kate hopes to celebrate one last perfect family Christmas with her soon-to-be ex-husband Everett and their kids before their divorce is final and the house is sold. But her holiday plans are hilariously derailed when Everett unexpectedly brings his younger, successful new girlfriend.
