Heartwarming Christmas family comedy starring C. Thomas Howell and Jonathan Silverman. When family man Jack Carter (Howell) decides to take his wife, children and dog (voice of Burt Reynolds) on a much-needed, impromptu Christmas break, he is angered when he discovers his competitive friend Robert (Silverman) is staying with his family in the cabin next door.
When the quality family time turns into a big competition between Jack and Robert, including who can find the legendary magic Christmas tree, both families start to realise that there is more to life than competing with each other.
