This feature film tells the story of Abby, played by Kristen Stewart, who plans to propose to his girlfriend, Harper, played by Mackenzie Davis. However, when Abby arrives at her in-laws for the holidays, she realizes that her dear and loving one has yet to come out to her conservative parents.

For Kristen Stewart, the theme of the stress of returning home over the holidays is something everyone can relate to.. "I love it when the Christmas movies really make you want to come home, but also show how hilarious and stressful that comeback can actually be when you reunite with your family.", confided the actress of Twilight.

The film also stars actors Mary Steenburgen, Victor Garber, Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, Dan Levy and the film's co-writer, Mary Holland.

Clea DuVall and Kristen Stewart both ensure the film was incredibly fun to film. “Maybe I'm biased, but this was one of the funniest castings I've worked with. From the cast to the crew, everyone showed up every day with an excitement and energy that made every day a joy ", rejoiced the director. Kristen Stewart meanwhile claimed that the film could not have had a better cast. If the feature film was fun to shoot, it will probably be just as fun to see in the cinema.
