Our protagonist, Alice, waits until the morning of Christmas Eve to tell her father that she and her husband won’t be home for Christmas. When they tell him, she finds out her two siblings, Charlotte and Tommy also waited until the last minute to tell their dad. He thought they were all coming home this year and is incredibly disappointed.

Alice decides to throw a virtual Christmas party for her father and invites all of her wacky extended family to make it up. Things get complicated when her dad doesn’t want to go unless she keeps 3 Christmas conditions. Now, she has less than 8 hours to pull off a virtual Christmas miracle.
