Plot

A TV producer is producing a Christmas Special for the 5th year but she is then told to co-produce it with the host's son. Initially, she's not too happy about it but - Christmas brings friends and families together.

Los Angeles television producer Maggie Baker unwittingly falls for Danny Wise, the son and former producer of his mother's popular annual Christmas special Julia Wise Lifestyle. When Maggie's secret plan to reunite Danny and his two brothers with Julia during the live broadcast in Vermont goes awry, Maggie is reminded that above all, it is the love for family and friends that makes the merriest of Christmas.

Maggie Baker is all-work and no-Christmas-break. Tasked with getting her bosses three adult sons to a family Christmas in Pennsylvania, Maggie sees an opportunity to finally bring her new business idea to her boss. With airports closed due to a pending storm, Maggie convinces her boss's eldest son Danny to help her navigate the cross-country trek. Along the way, Maggie denies her feelings for Danny, convinces musician brother Derek to come along, and helps youngest brother David save the final two animals left in the shelter before the storm hits. Can she beat the storm and get the promotion she's seeking? Or will she realize she's missing out on something important: something only Christmas can fill?—Happy_Evil_Dude

Maggie Baker is now head producer for lifestyle guru Julia Wise's Los Angeles-based national television show, her annual Christmas special which is always the hallmark of the series. Not one averse to risk, Maggie gets the green light for Julia's Christmas special, to air Christmas Eve, to be a one hundred percent live show for the first time to be shot at her Vermont farmhouse. Although that means that Maggie and much of the staff will not be able to go home for Christmas, they, including Maggie, don't mind the alternative of spending it with Julia, who has made her staff feel like a family. With one week to go until the special, the network and by association Julia get cold feet about the live idea. Without telling Maggie beforehand, Julia decides to bring in the former producer who worked the specials before Maggie started working there to revamp the special to a traditionally taped one, that person who just happens to be Julia's son Danny Wise, who now works making documentary short subjects. This move does not sit well with Maggie who feels her job is at risk despite Julia's assurances to the contrary. Maggie is ultimately able to convince Julia to combine the live show with pre-taped segments highlighting family Christmas traditions across the country, Julia ultimately assigning both Danny and Maggie to find and film those taped segments as they travel from Los Angeles to Vermont. Both Maggie and Danny know they have to overcome their animosity to make the show work. With Danny already scheduled to be at the farmhouse, his mother with who he has not spent a Christmas in years, Maggie comes up with a side plan which she tells no one until it's enacted: that on her and Danny's cross country trip, they will conveniently stop along the way to gather Danny's two brothers, David and Derek - the three Wise men - to convince them also to spend Christmas with their mother as a family. As Maggie and Danny not only get over their animosity but start to fall for each other, their newfound relationship may be placed at risk by Maggie meddling in Wise family affairs without really knowing the back story behind the Wise brothers and Christmas, and by Danny's future beyond Christmas Eve.—Huggo

After years of producing nature documentaries, Danny Wise accepts once more to produce the annual national television Vermont farmhouse live Christmas special of his mother, Los Angeles-based lifestyle guru Julia Wise', but now co-producing with her regular producer Maggie Baker. They bicker constructively over conflicting visions, his traditional versus her innovation, short of time, recording short items from all over the country. That pulls off, but Baker also sneakily plans to reunite Danny and Julia with his two adoptive brothers, who vowed to celebrate Christmas among themselves. Single, Asian Derek may still consider it, but gay David is glued to his mate and their animal shelter- unless Santa works a wonder.—KGF Vissers
