Plot Synopsis

Carol is an over-involved mother but nothing compares to the holiday season when she goes nuts spearheading her kid's school Christmas Spectacular each year, which earned her the nickname Christmas Carol by the parents and faculty. All that changes the day Terry moves to town with his teenage daughter. Also single, he is very fond of the holiday himself, having volunteered to mount the Christmas play each year at his daughter's former school. Carol tries to politely tell the single dad his help won't be needed but he has no intention of stepping aside. The tug-of-war turns into something of a rumble and it becomes clear neither of them is willing to work with each other. With the competition lines clearly drawn in the sand, the dueling duo sets out to outdo each other to create the most memorable Christmas spectacular ever. The pressure is ON to make this the best Christmas ever as it's anybody's guess if "Christmas Carol" will live up to her moniker or if newly titled "Terry Christmas" will become the new holiday hero. The two ultimately learn the error of their ways and put aside their differences while learning they have a lot more in common as an unexpected romance begins to bloom.
