The movie kicks off with Jess. She's a teenager with A DREAM! A dream of dance! She gets a phone call that she has made it into this exclusive program. Her sister is pumped for her. But the excitement doesn't last long when they get into a bad car accident. Jess will never dance again.
25 years later, Jess is married and has a family and still has to use a cane. It's Thanksgiving and Jess makes quite the spread and breaks down the plan for the holiday season, INCLUDING the 10th annual family talent show. The kids are less than excited.
She gets a call from her sister and we find out that Jess has the early signs of rheumatoid arthritis which is not great. But she asks her not to tell her husband and kids when they all get together for Christmas. She just wants to have a perfect Christmas. She gets good news - the governor wants her to make cookies for their Christmas ball. But she gets bad news - her husband lost a big client and that's not great news. In the midst of the busyness of the season, Jess is excited to just get a day to herself. But that doesn't happen because her parents show up earlier than she thought. And then her sister says she's coming early to help. WHAT A MESS! Her sister does not help. In fact, their dog eats all of the cookies that she made for the governor's ball.
It all comes to a head - she gets into a big argument with her sister when she finds out that her sister told her husband about the rheumatoid arthritis. It's a mess.
Nothing a little Christmas church can't fix except turns out she was supposed to deliver the cookies before 5. So she leaves and rushes to drop the cookies off but then she realizes she didn't bring her cookies - she brought the super salty cookies her kids made. She rushes in to stop them from eating them and slips on the ice.
She's in the hospital feeling bad for herself and then has a dream where she realizes just how good she has it because of family.
She wakes up on Christmas morning and her family is there and they're inviting everyone to the talent show. They all have a wonderful Christmas together as a family.
