Plot Synopsis

Smart, stylish Marci Jewel is the owner and creative director of an up-and-coming ad agency and thrilled with her single life in New York, except during the holidays. While all of her cousins are married and having babies, she remains the lone holdout in the large Chandler family clan who has put marriage and motherhood on hold for the sake of her career. As the familys epic Christmas celebration is about to begin, Marci learns that her favorite cousin Dana, her husband Frankie, and their family are leaving the country for five years on missionary work. So at the last minute, Marci promises to come home for the holidays for the first time in years. With a deadline looming for a new client, she drags her employee Adam in tow to Atlanta and does the only thing she can do in the face of unbearable pressure from her ailing mom Stephanie, aunt Myra, uncle Donald and cousin Preston -- she fakes a fiance. While caught up in the family's frenetic search for the perfect Christmas tree, unexpected wedding planning to her employee, pressing work calls, and more, Marci learns some unexpected lessons about love, trust and family, particularly when it comes to her new faux fiance Adam and old boyfriend Blair.
