A lighthearted holiday comedy about competitive neighbors whose escalating Christmas decoration feud brings their families together in warmth and humor.

Determined to unseat Steve Finch's reign as the town's holiday season king, Buddy Hall plasters his house with so many decorative lights that it'll be visible from space! When their wives bond, and their kids follow suit, the two men only escalate their rivalry - and their decorating.
