A warm, festive comedy-drama about family acceptance and romantic belonging, built on holiday charm and the clash between uptight propriety and free-spirited warmth.

An uptight, conservative businesswoman accompanies her boyfriend to his eccentric and outgoing family's annual Christmas celebration and finds that she's a fish out of water in their free-spirited way of life.
