The film is adapted from Skipping Christmas, the best-selling work of the famous American novelist John Grisham (John Grisham). The story describes an American couple, Luther Clark (Tim Allen) and Nora (Jamie Lee Curtis) make an "amazing" decision on Christmas Eve-not to celebrate Christmas this year. They are going to travel to the Caribbean during the Christmas season. In this way, we can not only enjoy the world we haven't seen for a long time, but also save the annual "boring" holiday expenses. However, the move immediately attracted criticism from relatives, friends and even neighbors. The social response to such a small change was completely beyond Luther and Nora's expectation. They had to face the pressure from all sides, during which a lot of incredible jokes naturally occurred. Just when the Clarks are confused, their precious daughter Blair (Julie Gonzello) suddenly tells her parents that she will be home for Christmas. Luther and Nora, wholeheartedly eager to escape Christmas, have to face a "depressed" holiday again.
