Drew Latham (Ben Affleck) is uneager
to spend another lonely Christmas in his own home. Longing for holidays past,
Drew travels to his childhood home intending to relive the experience of a
family Christmas, unfortunately, his family no longer lives there. He offers the
Valcos family, who now resides in the house, a huge amount of money if they
consent to pretend they are his parents and that he is a cherished member of the
family. This entails participating in Latham family traditions, such as
Christmas tree selection and crowded holiday shopping excursions. Though the
Valcos reluctantly go along with Drew's requests, Alicia, their eldest daughter,
arrives at home and refuses to comply with her "brother's" wishes.
