One Big Happy Family

'Plenty of laugh out loud moments… Perfect for those looking for festive escapism' Candis

Please don’t come home for Christmas…

Julie Parker’s children are her greatest gift. Still, she’s not exactly heartbroken when they ask to skip a big Christmas. Her son, Nick, is taking a belated honeymoon with his wife, while Julie’s daughter, Dana, is recovering from another breakup. Julie feels practically giddy for one-on-one holiday time with Heath, the (much) younger man she’s secretly dating.

But her plans go from cosy to chaotic when Nick and Dana plead for Christmas at the family cabin in memory of their late father, Julie’s ex. She can’t refuse, even though she dreads their reactions to her new man when they realise she’s been hiding him for months.

As the invite list continues to grow in unexpected ways, will this Christmas prove that more really is merrier?
