Plot

Emily arrives home, hoping to visit her parents, only to discover that they are leaving on a trip of their own. As she stays at their house for the holidays, their HOA is determined to get Emily to participate in the neighborhood’s many Christmas festivities.

Emily's manipulative boyfriend steals her apartment out from under her, only telling her when she breaks up with him & tries to kick him out. She returns home for the holidays intending to relax and get her bearings from this devastating blow, but as she pulls up her parents abandon her to go house hunting in Florida. What's worse, they left her responsible for meeting all the holiday decorating HOA requirements--with no warning! The current HOA president starts harassing her daily about the lack of decorations and manipulates her into taking over a time-consuming parade plan. It's also hinted that her parents had previously decorated but took the decorations down just to screw her over. Instead of abandoning the community of horrible humans, she stays to try and make the best of it. In the end, in true Hallmark movie fashion, she falls for the HOA jerk because she apparently can't help but fall for manipulative jerks that remind her of her parents.
