It's Christmas Eve 2024, and Mike is stressed, per usual. His husband, Zian, the calm one, is there to calm him down, per usual. Mike feels bad about not doing big Christmas decorations like his dad used to when he was growing up. He's also stressed because he is going to surprise Zian by flying his grandfather in for a visit.

Cut back to 1951, where we meet a couple, Charlie and Joan, fresh home from the hospital because Joan broke her arm. It's a big Christmas for them because Charlie is about to ship out to Korea.

In 2003, we see a postal worker who is thrilled when a couple, Sarah and Luke, gives him a Christmas card. They're a perfect couple. They never fight. They never disagree. That is, until Luke's family comes to stay for Christmas and brings a friggin' massive wreath. To make things more awkward, her family comes. Things are going to be WONKYYYYYY. The families end up arguing about everything—wreath vs. weird handmade thing, angel vs. star, etc. It's a mess out there. This leads to Luke and Sarah getting into their first fight.

Back in '51, Charlie and Joan are blown away by the generosity of their neighbors after Charlie accidentally burns the turkey. He goes downstairs to write a Christmas card to his wife that he plans to mail to her while he's gone. The letter gets lost in the mail and is actually the card that Sarah and Luke received at the beginning of the movie. It was a dead letter! This brings them together to realize what really matters.

So back to 2024—Grandpa finally shows up, and Zian is shocked. He begins to tell Zian about his family and reveals that he wouldn't be here today if it weren't for an American doctor named Charlie. So that's nice. They're all connected.

Everything wraps up with a nice bow, and we're all happy.
