Single mom Janie Bennett has one goal: pull off the perfect Christmas pageant for her kindergarten class. What she doesn't need is the world's grumpiest hockey player ruining her holly-jolly plans.
Enter Rourke Riley, Mr. I Hate Christmas himself-who's been sentenced to play Santa in her pageant and is determined to get fired from this nightmare before Christmas.
Janie can't let his humbug ruin her fa la la, so she calls his bluff with a Christmas challenge: if she can prove he's secretly got some holiday spirit, he has to help her pull off the most magical pageant ever.
But if she loses? She's wearing his jersey and going on a date with the grinch himself.
To be clear: She's not losing.
Not when her secret weapon is taking Rourke on a road trip to the most over-the-top Christmas festival in existence.
Cue the holiday chaos.
Between an unexpected snowstorm, sharing a one-bedroom cabin, a hockey team text thread gone awry and a mistletoe kiss that's life-changing-suddenly, winning doesn't matter anymore.
Turns out, the holidays are full of surprises. But her falling for the grump?
It's the biggest complication of the season.
