Jamie (Tyler Hynes) goes home for Christmas, but hasn’t told his family about his breakup with Emily (Bethany Joy Lenz). When Emily comes to town, Jamie makes her a deal. He’ll get the governor to deliver the Christmas Day speech for her campaign if she goes home to see his family for Christmas. The catch? They have to pretend they’re still together! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They try to keep their secret, but an awkward week ensues as Jamie and Emily’s plan starts to unravel. Just when it seems like the holidays have been ruined, Jamie makes a very unexpected Christmas happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
